Crash Nitro Kart performance

[niBBit]

Crash Nitro Kart is running good when i play single player but when i play 2 player with my friend the performance drops big time, does 2 player require more CPU power or something? or is my config messed up.
Also i think with my previous graphics card (HD 5970) and previous PSX2 my Crash Nitro Kart was running fine even in splitscreen (i think
I tried using Speedhacks to the max but that just made my sound choppy and didn't really do much. Could it be that my video card is new?.

My PC:

CPU - Core i7 875K 2.9Ghz.
GPU - GTX 680 2GB. ( No VSYNC/FXAA enabled just Ambient Oculasion)
RAM - 16GB

PSCX2 Config:

DX 11 (hardware)
Custom Resolution - 1024 x 1024, no MSAA, Texture Filtering (grayed).
EE Cyclerate - 2
VU Cycle Stealing - 0
mVU Flag/Block Enabled.
All other EE/IOP/VUs are default.
All other things like sound are also default, i didn't really touch anything besides the things mention above.

I downloaded the new version but now Crash Nitro Kart won't even start its just an black screen. Other games like Budokai work just fine.
Crash Nitro Kart is an ISO file. I also see in the console that it changes alot from 59FPS to 50FPS . Even if i boot from Fast or Full i still get an black screen.

Most probably two players is more heavy as the game probably renders everything separately for every player. Try another SVN version.

Don't. This game does not work at all when MTVU is on. It's just a black screen. He can use the SVN for the increased speed overall, but he cannot use that hack for this game.

Hey thx for commenting, your right about those hacks as soon i disable the MTVU hacks i can start the game again.

I tried the new Revisions but the same crappy performance remains.

The game does not use an optimized engine for splitscreen modes so it can save up resources of stuff that are rendered on both screens, it's like rendering 2 different games at the same time. In contrast the single player game is one of the best optimized games on PS2 among with Kingdom Hearts and Obscure series, even on a ***** setup you will have playable results, pretty nice if you ask me.

Try this. Boot up the game with MTVU hack off, then once in-game turn it back on, It works on some games for me And worth a try for the Speed increase MTVU hack can give
