Read first: Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?

[karasuhebi]

Hello.
new here, i wanted to know why it says that is not supposed to run on laptops?... because... I have a laptop, its harmful for the processor or something? or its because the post its old?

My lap has an I7 3630 QM, Nvidia 650M and 8gb of ram, i know that I'm not supossed to ask this, but i really dont want to damage the laptop

Don't worry, you're not going to damage your laptop. The reason why we don't/didn't recommend laptops is because most laptops have under-powered processors when compared to their desktop counterparts. Your laptop's processor should be OK for some games though, seeing as how it's STR is 1689. Just make sure that when you're using an emulator, you have your Power plan set to "High Performance" and you're plugged into A/C power.

Thx a lot for your responses.
One more thing, since my gpu is hybrid, how do i tell the emulator to run with the GPU 650?, the emulator log says that is not loading any plugins for the gpu:

Hello.

Im verry happy that im now part of this community. At the begining i have a few questions about my Laptop. I'm now the happy owner of Lenovo Y50 with:

1. i5 4210H
2. 8 GB DDR3
3. SSD 256 GB
4. GTX 960m 4GB

is this config fair enough to handle all games at 1080p with 2/3native resulation without noticable fps drop? Thx for all advice and information.

what games do you own?

[Qidin]

Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII
Xenosaga I (I am waiting for the shipment from eBay with part 2 and 3)
Black as i remamber and few others games.

I know that PCSX2 use only 2 cores (so cpu clock is verry important). Basic clock is 2,9 Ghz with 3,5 Ghz with Turbo.

[Nobbs66]

You'll have some slowdowns with Xenosaga I and possibly BLACK, but the others will be fine.

[Saiki]

with a 4th gen i5 xenosaga shouldn't slow down much, if at all, unless there is an emulation bug (something not fixed) and Black will be fine, but last I checked it only worked in software mode (unless that was fixed).

Hello.
I was able to play FF X, incredible results... thank you
General question: is the newer version 1.3.1 (Development) safe to use for common guys like me?, i want to play Shadow of the colossus and i saw the video running fine on that version.

What do you guys recomend?

The development versions are fine for anyone to use.
