It really blows that I found this thread about 4 years too late. Needless to say it was a God send, and really helped me understand just what my computer could and could not play.
I have a Dell Lattitude E6430
Intel® Core i5- 3230M
CPU 2.60 Ghz
As far as I can tell, the following games were never mentioned so I decided to try them out, and the following are my results.
I'm not sure anyone would even see this, but if you do I can provide proof if needed, just didn't want to make extra work for myself.
My base Speed is at the baseline 100, and 225% otherwise.
I'm running PCSX2 V. 1.2.1, as I was having issues with 1.4.0
Anyways, here's the Games:
-Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie Boogie's Revenge.
(I turned the sped up to 135% and it played almost flawlessly, a little slow down here and there but definitely did not hinder the game play too noticeably)
- XIII
This one actually surprised me, a sit ran just fine at the base 100. Does chug when a lot is going, but usually holds around 55-60 FPS steady.
- SpongeBob: Battle For Bikini Bottom
When in closed off spaces, the game runs at a solid 58 FPS. Out in the overworld It chugs pretty bad at times, however as a huge fan of the game, it's not unplayable by any means.
.....And Thats it for now. I'll be trying more the next 2 days, if there is any response to this, I'll post when appropriate
