describe the slowdown. does it stay at 20 fps? or does it fluctuate between 60 fps and 20 fps? if fluctuate then it's ok. i also got speed fluctuations when i played final fantasy 10
when you start the emulator at 60 fps after how long does it drop to 20 fps? like in say an hour? in hour the laptop would have heated up and that may cause the slowdown. removing the battery will not stop the overheating. try getting a good coolpad and use it when u are playing
cooling pads are a myth, they dont work, no matter how much you want it. (unles you got one of 60 bucks or more that *could* shave off a 5c or less but not worth the money if you ask me)
@op
this is quite a particular situation you have lol
formating, installing windows is not gonna help btw (but i think you knew that )
i know one last solution.
post the specs, and all the settings of pcsx2.
post the temps you are getting too when you are playing games on the emu.
this way i can check every possible solution for you
