Help on playing FFX & FFXii

[happyli]

i am finding hard to run the game with a playable speed
My pc config :
- Duo Core E8400 3.0G
- 9800GTX+
- 4G ram

I tried different setting and really hard to find the way to run the game smoothly.

Any suggestion?

hm? Really? Are you on Mac or Linux? Windows users should not have any troubles here.

[Serpent]

well, if you use windows then there wouldnt be any problem
me myself have a
core 2 duo 2,9 ghz
8800 gts
2gb
windows xp
and ffx runs smoothless.
but about ffxii i dont know, havent tried yet

running on windows Xp

i have just got like 40 FPS and it wouldn't run smoothly..
is it my setting problem?

possibly, post pictures of your gsdx settings and config->cpu settings. you should be getting full speed (and more) on ffx

My Graphic setting @ GSdx 890 (MSVC 15.00 SSE41) 0.1.14
-Windowed
-3D9 (Hardware)
-Pixel Shader 3.0
-Weave tff
-4:3
-512 : 512
-NLOOP hack, Texture filtering, Alpha correction

I cant play the game smoothly when i set the CPU frame limiting @ normal
The FPS seems get better when i set it to VU skip, but the screen is just get shaked.

This is really weird.
I'm using an E8500 now, but i haved the same results on the e5200: Full speed on ffx and a very good speed on FFXII.

No speed hacks, and frame limiter in default mode (60 fps if i'm not wrong).
I'm also using slow clamp mode and EE.
So... really i don't understand what is supposed to be the problem in your Pc.

Anyway, as you had mode to see, i noticed admins here are very available to solve peoples problems with pcsx2...
So, i think you should just post your pcsx2 config... and you'll have your reply.
Don't give up: Pcsx2 it's a wonderful emulator that allowas you to play some great game (As FFX...).

Good emulation,

config as below:

D3D resolution is way to hight, press native on GSDX box. Playing from DVD is also slow you a bit (depends on disk condition). Also new pcsx2 have a several speedhacks that helps a lot (idle fast forward).
