Best Settings for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix?

[oversoul53]

Hi there.

I have a pretty crappy computer in terms of gaming, but there are some games I can run at lower settings (Portal, Left4Dead, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 just to name a few).

My game runs decently on this emulator on default settings, but lags at certain points.

I found a youtube video that suggested some changes, and while those changes did seem to speed up my game, it speed it up too much.

here's the video I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttRkTXkACF8

I messed with the settings myself, changing many things, including resolution, and the best I can get is that the game runs at 50-60FPS during gameplay, slows down to about 40-something during loading screens, and speeds up to about 80-100+ during speech bubbles, pause menus and tutorial screens. I cannot seem to find a balance. Can someone help me please?

Here are my computer specs:

Processor: AMD Turion II X2 Processor
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4240
RAM: 4GB DDR3

just use framelimiter.
Make sure you set it to 50 fps for Pal, 60 fps for ntsc
