Whenever I start my emulation of Tony Hawk's Underground, its fine until I start to play then alot of the fps goes down and everything looks like its going in slow motion, how can i fix this?

Check out http://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php/Tony_Haw...nderground . The main website is where I get all my information on how to config your settings for a certain game (and to see if it is playable). Also, don't be afraid to use save states to play around with your settings to see what works best.

I'm sorry i'm really new to emulaters, and this is the first time i've tried to do this. I'm on pcsx2 version 1.00.
And these are my computer specs. I think:

I hope this helps, and thank you AKZander for the information

Maybe your graphics card or processor is too weak for this game, I never emulated it myself.

Probably, but i seem to be able to play alot of other games fine on my computer, and i can start Tony Hawk up, but when i get inside the game it gets all weird and feels like its in slow motion and the audio gets out of whack. I can navigate through the menus just fine for some reason though.

My uncle myself had that same processor, but his graphics card was a dedicated nvidia one. As far as I remember it ran a majority of PS2 games on it. I don't think your graphics card is powerful enough. Have you tried using speedhacks. What are your GSDX settings?
EDIT: I've looked up your graphics card and have seen that its not very good for gaming.
