Read first: Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer?

[kalcyffer]

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:

Please make your own thread if you need support with PCSX2.

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.

[Nobbs66]

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.

The development versions are fine for anyone to use.

 Mmm ok, i found this on the download section of the forum, so if i want to achive maximun speed, i should be using the last release and not the developer version?

"Thanks to Orphis who maintains the automatic build-bot, we have historical official development builds since 2011-May.

Note that these are development builds and not release builds. They're made from whatever code was changed, and may be buggy etc.

Also note that official release builds are about 7% faster than development builds due to slower optimization process which we do for release builds (PGO), and which the development builds don't have."
