FF XII fps problems

[zyed777]

Hey everybody. First of all i suck at emulators, and i suck a little in english.
FF XII (NTSC) used to work perfectly on my computer a couple of years ago but know the very best i can get is 40 fps, and 25 fps most of the time.
i have an Intel Core 2 duo p7350 2x2 Ghz
4 Gig RAM
ATI mobility rodeon hd 3650
Using pcsx 0.9.7, GSdx 3693 like i always do, SPU2 for the sound (the worst quality for the best speed), many speedhacks and all that stuff.

I repeat it used to work perfectly a couple of years ago. Help please!

maybe possible your laptop has collected a lot of dust better have a maintenance for now.
and one more thing is the laptop temperatures...the more dust collected in your laptop the worst performace you get and raising temperatures..

Maybe you're right. After all the temperature is quite high. but it has always been

in 2 years alot of things might have happened like changing OS , etc
and the game is quite easy to emulate you should have full speed with those speces there must be a problem
make sure to use native res
if you are using win 7 change power plan to "high preformance"

And why arent you using 0.9.8?

[zyed777]

didn't even know there was a 0.9.8 Will it resolve my problem?
PS: I AM using full performance and native is switched on

[zyed777]

I switched clamping mode to "none" and "constant skipping" in "frame skipping" and now it's better (45 fps average and sometimes full power)
Thanks for your concern guys!
