I just configured PCSX2 (using http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Official-...ide-v0-9-8 ) and tried playing Kingdom Hearts. I'm using the actual PS2 disc if that matters.
The beginning intro cutscene had horrendous audio stutter with the frame rate fluctuating greatly. I initially didn't have high hopes for running the game.
However when it got to the standard playing parts, the game ran at a mostly smooth 60ish FPS. The game is very playable and the combat feels just as smooth as ever.
The only time that it stuttered again was when it loading cutscene-esque moments and other random times.
Examples include when Kairi first speaks to Sora, when you first talk to Wakka, loading of the Destiny Island graphic, and when you enter the shack (with the save point). I stopped playing after I saved.
I only get the audio stutter during frame rate fluctuations (which makes sense as the audio is synced to the video). My main question is that should this be expected? Is there something I forgot to do to further smoothen out the game?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My Specs:
