yeah i tried MTVU it did increase the FPS by a little bit....but i was wondering why is PS2 so ahrd to emulate?
I doubt Mercs are so highly graphically advanced that my computer cannot run them at least on 60 FPS

without taking in to account the emulation overhead of translating from PS2 to PC, you would need 3.8Ghz (the speed of the ps2's combined chips if they worked asynchronously as we can't do multiple things at the same time like the ps2 can), then add on the emulation overhead which is anywhere from 2-10 times. That is why it's slow. The only reason modern intel chips are pretty good with most games is because of how efficient they are. AMD's, not too bad at the high end but nowhere near as good for it as intel processors.

yes, but not a very good architecture. Clockrate isn't evrything.

by using software mode and setting 3 extra sw rendering threads, this could help a bit. but that probably won't be neough for this game.
better play it on your PS2 for now if you ask me.
