Actually, version 0.9.9, combined with your suggestions, actually did have some noticeable improvement. The graphics are more or less spotless. I am still having audio slowdown in several cutscenes, and a quick snag here and there during battles (usually by selecting an attack of some sort), but overall the game is much less painful to play now. Oddly, the cut scenes, etc, do speed up to around 60fps, and of course in Persona 4, nobody really moves much during the cut scenes except to maybe walk from one spot to another - regardless, the FPS jumps around pretty severely. A character can be in midsentence, with no other visual or audio resources running in the game, and their voice will start slowing down mid-sentence and then speed back up. I don't know if this is just my computer trying really hard to keep up with the FPS limit and falling behind at random intervals, but I think this is pretty much as good as it's going to get for me on this computer.
SO, for people on the internet who have crappy laptops, I will sum up everyone's suggestions from this thread:
I have an i3 core processor and graphics card on an Intel laptop running Win7. I pretty much have the lowest settings on everything here, so if you have anything "worse" than my specs, the following list is probably as good as it gets:
-Download PCSX2 0.9.9
-Plugins: GSDX 4915 SSSE3-r4915, SPU-X-r4872, cdvdGigaherz
-Set the EE and VU clamping to None
-Enable all box-checked speed hacks, and set EE to 2 under the speedhacks option
-Native resolution with DirectX9 hardware. Check Logarithmic X, and nothing else
-Set all audio settings to their lowest value, and check 'disable effects processing
-DON'T install PCSX2 under Progam Files =p
-Windowed mode
-Shut down as many programs/processes that eat up your computer's processing power as possible
Thanks again for your help, everyone..I really appreciate it.
