Hello everyone! I created this account specifically to address this issue that people (that includes me) seems to have.
After Googling all day long yesterday I was able to find a few threads including this one: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Guitar-He...-FPS-Issue
I was wondering if this was ever fixed? I've diagnosed the exact same problem as this guy. I'm able to run the game way above full speed if I turn frame limiting off. It's usually in the 100's if I have speed hacks on.
Here's a little footage I managed to capture of the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wECmcdAtux8
Now remember, the video was rendered from a 60 fps source into a 30 fps YouTube compatible format, so there'll be some obvious stuttering that was caused by the recording and the fact that the fps was cut in half. Look closely in the beginning as well as later in the song.
It would really make my day if anyone could help me solve this, as I've just tried about everything, from various revisions of PCSX2, speed hacks, video plugins, resolutions etc. etc. A frame limiting software called RivaTuner seems to help a little though.
EDIT: Also the problem seems to occur mostly when the view is being put on the crowd, or something with a lot of graphical fidelity. However when I turn frame limiting off to see if it's because of my fps going too low, it's still in the mid 80's. If I go into the training mode where there's no venue of crowd and just a background picture of a room, the problem seems less prominent.
