How to configure DBZ in laptop
#1
I installed Pcsx2 0.9.6 and try to play "Dragon Ball z Budokai 3" but i'm having some problems with the speed.
I have CPU: i5 2.4GHz up to 3.0 GHz
Memory: 2gb DDR3
Card: Nvida Geforce GT 540M

Im new with ps2 i dont know how to config. it i just use the default of ps2 when i play the game its faster but when i start the game its very lag and there's a black screen flashing and the fps is too slow. . . .

I hope you can help me make this game faster.

Time to install 0.9.8 because 0.9.6 was released 2 years ago Tongue

Is it Budokai 3 or Budokai Tenkaichi 3? They both are different games. Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 PAL is known to flicker. (black flashing)

Anyways Upgrade to PCSX2 0.9.9 : PCSX2 SVN

For DBZ Games :
  • Change the Round mode to Nearest and Clamp Mode to None in Both EE and VU's section.
  • Use Speedhacks : All the Reccomended ones and EE Cyclerate to 2 and VU Cycle Stealing to 1
  • Use Native Resolution
  • Use Frameskip : 1 to draw and 2 to skip. or maybe higher
  • Try Allow 8-bit Texture : Might cause graphical errors too. so test before using
  • Change Windows Power Plan to High Performance : Important

As for the Flashing, GSDX Alpha Hack will help. Smile

To enable Alpha Hack on pcsx2 0.9.9 you need to make a change in gsdx.ini (In Inis Folder where you have installed pcsx2 or my documents/pcsx2/inis)

Add the Line :

GSDX.ini Wrote:allowhacks=1

And while Configuring GSDX, tick the Alpha Hack.

You can even simply do it by :

Open PCSX2 0.9.9 --> Misc --> Check Show Console.

Now RUN the Game. The Log will show where its is NTSC-U/PAL etc.

Is the Blsck Flshing gone. As for fps you cannot do more because the settings mentioned are the highest best settings for speed. Try using MTVU Speedhack. Other than that I cannot help much.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is a demanding game both in CPU and GPU. Laptops won' t be much better for pcsx2 emulation and espcially for DBZ BT 3 PAL.
