the pcsx2 games runs slowly......

IS THIS CONFIGURATION GOOD FOR PCSX2.......

PLLZZZZZ TELL ME........
No its not. Its barely able to play the least demanding games.
speed issues are not emulator's bug, it's not the emulator itself what is demanding, in a sense the games themselves are the main cause of it.
It's the same like happens with PC games, some are more demanding than others.

Add to it the console games must still be emulated and you get the picture... The most powerful nowadays personal machine is just beginning to meet what it takes. This is a phenomenon that repeated across the emulation history, the first versions of SNES emulators were very demanding on the machines at the epoch, now they are lightweight to the point a new approach is being developed, one that is not concerned with the performance anymore and can focus totally on the accuracy... just is not the case of PS2 yet.

PS: this can help to understand why the development can't be quicker, it would be easier to get rid of most still existing flaws if the performance on actual machines could be forgotten. But sadly it's not true, the perfect emulation need not only be able to reproduce the whole original content as need to do it in due time 'cause the very console model that is based on TV standard "requires" the FPS to be constant and fixated.
not a valid bug report

which game are you trying ? because your CPU and your GPU are both quite weak.

@abdo & Cyphox : If this thread is unuseful, feel free to close it.

@op : your pc is globally slow, but if the game isn't too demanding, we may help you tweaking pcsx2 to get a few more Fps.
i wouldnt close it, i just would move it from "important threads" to "normal threads" Ninja
