Hi thanks for the response! I'm using version 1.2.1 and its an iso file. Also im playing shadow of colossus. It seems even the slightest part of gameplay drops my fps quickly... im not sure if its the game my comp or my emulator settings. I'm pretty new to it

you can try to increase vu cycle stealing. but i wouldn't expect much with such an old pc...
better keep playing on your PS2

what jesalvein means is what are your computers specifications

theirs some tools to tell you what they are in my signature (in-case you don't know)
they are free, and when you've finished with them you can just delete them

if i remember correctly that game is very demanding on your processor, hence why your asked about what your computer has in it

:EDIT:     hm i haven't got my glasses on i just read what i replied to sorry

and ye like jeselvein said you might struggle with that processor

don't try anything else.
Setting Vu cycle stealing to 3 is quite an agressive speedhack and may cause many crashes. Except for very few games, and SotC is one of them.

I just hope you're not expecting playing some of your other games with this PC. you'd be disappointed.

Oh, and BTW.
The fps counter is faked when using speedhacks and you're not really getting 60 fps

lol ah... yea i know emulators take a lot of power to run them... my comp maxes just about any pc game out but emulators is one thing. I do need to look into a faster processor dual core just doesnt cut it these days! Thanks again for your help
