So I'm wondering, at what point was ZoE considered fully compatible with PCSX2? That's probably the version I need to download.

Before anyone gives the usual how-to on speeding it up, I already know. The res is native, hardware mode, and all speedhacks enabled (except the sliders, which I tend to not screw with). Also tried software mode and it makes no difference.

Thanks!

It could be because you're using a laptop. Yet, that is one powerful laptop, so to answer your question; I don't know. Sorry I couldn't help you out on this. From what I heard, there doesn't seem to be any version that would work best. I'd guess your best bet would be to buy the HD collection on PS3 running in full time.

Seriously, how the hell did Konami make it so hard to emulate these games?

From what I understand, older versions of PCSX2 almost always run games faster because they are less accurate.

As far as being playable, I would imagine a newer version would give you less errors in gameplay (thus making it more playable) but it will definitely make it run slower. So if you're looking for full speed gameplay instead of accuracy in the emulation, I would suggest trying the oldest version of PCSX2 you can find. I can tell you that my i5-4670K can't play ZoE at full speed on the latest 1.3.0 build but it can do it on 0.9.8 (even on 4x IR). Hope that helps!

^ I wouldn't use a version any older than 0.9.8 which is the oldest version that ZOE works on.
