After having read the 'Will PCSX2 run fast on my computer' thread, I gathered that my laptop should be able to run games at a decent fps. But really, 12-16 fps during gameplay and even in menus is an instant turn off. Maybe it does have to do with my specs, but could anyone help me out with this? I've tried several speed hacks and played around with settings too. I'm not really a computer guy so well, yeah. Here's everything you need to know:
Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 2.4GHz (A little weak I think?)
3GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS (Should be fine according to the thread)
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
PCSX2 0.9.8 (r4600)
High Performance Enabled in Control Panel
Dragonball Z Budokai 3 - PAL SLES 53346
Is there anything I can do to play this game at a reasonable fps? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit: After playing around a bit, I now get 25-30 fps in menus but still 12-16 fps during gameplay. Help lol.

your laptop is overall weak(Minimun requirement state) and will not gurantee full speed.
don't expect miracles nor magic configuration tricks on this.

Not at all looking for full speed. An fps of 35 during gameplay would make me very happy. Nothing I can do to achieve that?

very well then try this:
*set your power plan to "High performance"
*disable windows aero(Control panel--->System-->advanced system setting-->performance-->Adjust for best performance)
*set clamp mode to none(Emulation settings-->EE and IOP)
*Set GSdx to native
*Use MTVU on the speedhack setting.

Location: Your mind
This is just a theory because i've only tried this on only one game so far but if all else fails try going into
-Emulation Settings
-Then just click preset in the lower left hand corner of the screen and set it to 2 Fast (Safe)
It helped me play Persona 3 FES at a much higher rate but i have not tried Budokai personally.
Good luck.
