PS2 Tech Demo

[Aggressor22]

and you can run this in fullspeed on pcsx2? afaik it only runs sort of in software mode.

Cant seem to run it att all, theres some TLB-miss error. Possible to get 1/10fps too.

What does this mean, is it a performance problem afterall? It certainly uses the PS2 architecture as it meant to be, lotsa polygons/particles, low res or no textures etc.
Similar demo, not from sony but some ps2devs that made it.

I dunno. But some parts of the demo are more intense than others so it seems.

You can see me lagging in the latter half. My cpu was hitting 70c-80c and therefore throttling.( using sh*t stock cooler) Switching between HW and SW seemed to have no improvement on the framerate. My log is filled TLB misses. 245mb emulog.

Yes its not a performance problem, something else is going on. I have the exact same 'framerate' on my old 920 as on another pc with i5 3570 which should be much faster.
Why your cpu is hitting those temps for this particular demo is abit strange lol, both my cpu's dont even elevate more then a couple degrees from the idle temps playing this demo, the 920 having a aftermarket cooler (never reached above 55c). A warm country could explain your temps

The TLB misses disappear when you change the IOP interpreter, but result is same.
