Wrestle Kingdom 2 slowdown

[VeryTired1]

Hi! I'm new to the forums and PCSX2, so I'd like some help with this issue.

I've only used 3 games with PCSX2 so far, WWE SmackDown: Shut Your Mouth, WWE SmackDown: Here Comes The Pain, and Wrestle Kingdom 2. Both WWE games play fine on my PC.

Wrestle Kingdom 2 works fine on startup and all menus, but gameplay (including entrances) experience a major slowdown, including sound. I go from around 56 FPS to 25-30 FPS, making the game virtually unplayable. I'm not sure what is causing the issue and I'm hoping for some help.

Your PC is simply way too slow. There is really nothing you can do to make that machine run any games at full speed. Sorry.

Why is my PC too slow? I can run the other games I've mentioned just fine.

Different games, different requirements. That cpu is not cut out for pcsx2

[Blyss Sarania]

Your CPU has a single threaded performance of 732: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=...40+1.50GHz&id=668

For PCSX2, above 1400 is recommended and above 1600 is ideal.

Around 800 some 2d games might be playable. I honestly don't know how you could have ran the games you said at full speed.

[Nobbs66]

^ Yep, some games require even faster than 1600 as well.

My cpu has a single threaded score of 1952 which is 266% faster than yours

Ah, I see. The other games ran fine, but not necessarily very well. Thanks for the information.
