Hello. First of all, I apologise if this is the incorrect section, but apart from general discussion, this seemed the best place for it.
I've recently downloaded PCSX2 0.9.6, and I'm trying to run .hack infection on it, the first game of the series. The framerate is sticking to 30 FPS, which is unpleasant, since the audio chops around and everything is rather slow.
My rig is composed of a Intel core 2 duo 3.0 GHz, a brand new Geforce 9500 GT, and 1GB of ram. I had 2, but one burned, and had to be thrown away. I'm running a fresh format of windows XP, service pack 3, and I've updated DirectX, or else the emulator wouldn't be running. I believe all of this is fairly enough to run games, as mentioned in the needed specs to run the emulator.
I'm using the GSdx 890 plugin, shader 3.0, 800x600 internal res, everything else as it was. The game is running on a CD. I've also tried ZeroGS to no avail.
The game also has this mind-bogging tendency to crash when I enter "The World". Mind-bogging because I can only think of this as a 3D error, but the first cutscene is rendered in 3D via game engine, and it plays fine. I'm also looking for a solution to this.
So, considering you're still reading (and thank you for that), I'd like to know what else I can do, what other things can I try to make the game run faster, and perhaps fix the crash, what else I need to update, or if I simply can't run the game at all. I'm willing to try different things for this game, since it's one of my firsts and I've grown very attached to it, but my PS2 has recently been sent for repairs.
Once again, thanks for reading.
