I've been playing FFXII IZJS for the last few days and it runs almost flawlessly. The only problem is that there will be random stutter or frame drops when transitioning areas, during battles at random, or during cutscenes randomly. I'm curious if anyone else has ran into this problem or has suggestions.
I have tinkered with all the emulation settings and researched for hours on end and can't seem to find a way to stop this from happening.

Should I move my ISO file to the SSD? I currently only have PCSX2 on it.

I would, but that still may not fix the issue.

If it's a disc access issue, moving to SSD will help. If it's related to the VU and EE flushes and timing, it won't. Try and see.
Regardless, setting async audio will make it nearly unnoticeable. Go to config->audio->plugin settings and change timestretch to async mix.

Whelp, I moved the file to my SSD and set the audio to async mix, so if neither of these things prevail, I guess I'll just deal with it, as terrible as that sounds.
Thanks for the help, though.

Did you ever try the compression thing Blyss? How'd that work?

If you read that thread, it was the same. Even putting it in RAM disk didn't help. For me, the problem was with the VU and EE stuff, so nothing can really help.
