First of all, I know I'm not using the recommended specifications you mention, but this laptop is all I have and I'm not able to use the PC, since I'm always travelling around.
I tried a couple of days ago playing Tales of the Abyss. I tried pretty much everything you can imagine to make it work, I lurked around to see if anyone else had the same issues. And it didn't work...
I have a Toshiba Satellite A300. It has an Intel Core Duo CPU (2,5ghz), which is enough to use PCSX2. My graphics card is terrible and I know it (Radeon HD 3470). I was kinda hoping it would work somehow... But it didn't. It started just great and suddenly, all the fps would drop to about half of the regular 60 fps. It just wouldn't stabilize.
Well, just to have a laugh, I tried playing on my mom's laptop. A poor Pentium dual-core with 2,00ghz with a NVIDIA GeForce 315M (I know, the graphic card is so much better than mine). And it worked... The fps would stabilize around 60 fps without needing any special setting, with wonderful resolution. And it depressed me... I always thought my laptop was better =/
What is bugging me is that my laptop is able to play PCSX2 without any issues for about a minute or more and then the fps drop quite a bit, making it impossible to play, which makes me think there's something else. The other laptop isn't like mine and it's able to stabilize. Maybe I'm not setting it up properly? Maybe there's something that isn't allowing the program to keep the same frame rate?
Can you help me, please? ._.
