Game feels extremely laggy even though it runs at a constant 60fps?

[baholete]

Why is this? I'm trying to play metal slug anthology and it is extremely laggy. I'm running it at 60fps at all times but it takes up to a second for my commands to be displayed on screen.

I have tried disabling all speed hacks, still running the same 60fps + terrible lags.

My CPU is FX-6300 and my video is a 5850. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

What speed hack u use and what pcsx2 version u use

Besides, if getting nominal speed without speedhacks you don't need them. But most importantly... what's the game?

Aha, that explain it all, it's slugggy

Sorry, bad joke, sadly I can't really say how this game behaves with the emulator.

But what I can't really explain is why I didn't see the game's name in the OP and read it twice!

PS: my first bet would be excess VU cycle stealing but was reported he tried without speedhacks also.

Try disabling speedhacks.

I did disable ALL speedhacks and the game did feel a bit smoother but not by much :|
What could be the issue? For example Tekken 5 runs flawless and my logic says it's a lot more intensive than a 2d sidescroller.

If anyone else already played it fine can you please tell me how you accomplished it?


By the way, the version i use is the one currently on site and i used the youtube video to configure it. And yes, i did disable all speed hacks and the improvement was minimal.

bad logic, really.
It entirely depends on how the games were hardcoded. I think those ones were neo-geo games, and they have been ported in a harsh way.

Ok soooo, the explanation is that the game is just natively running bad and there's no way around it?

[jesalvein]

no, the game is natively running well on your PS2.
but since it's a harsh port, It's kinda hard to emulate properly.
