Dragon Quest 8 PAL

Status: Ingame so far so good.... some crashes but no big deal

Hey guys,

I just want to let you guys know that you can somewhat get PCsx2 to play using on board graphic
.... at half rate...

I can say the Playground version is still faster than the 0.9.6... no proof provided

Speed:
openings are at 100%
gameplay range from 30-80% and tends to speed up when you enter narrow cave and dungeons

Keep up the good work.. maybe someday we can play w/ just on board graphic...
saving to get a graphic card now...

Wrestler intros run at full speed, ingame slows down a marginal amount. The opening video of the game runs very slowly. There are some texture glitches on characters in the form of clearly-visible lines between different body parts.

As you can see, this game took several speedhacks to get to a playable state, though my CPU is not particularly beefy.

The second screenshot illustrates a strange "dotted" effect that occurs whenever anything ghostly shows up.

Mostly runs at 60FPS, but despite messing with some speedhacks nothing seems to prevent it from dropping to 50FPS at camera angles like the one in the third screenshot.

All in all, stable.

Well... i took only 1 screenshot, i think that this project is getting bigger and greater from day to day...
when i tried to play my FF-X on first versions, it was reallyyy reallyy slow, with this same computer specs...
Now playing Suikoden 3 i've got good results (not greater because my computer doesn't help hehe)
FF-X is almost perfect to play on the new version...
