Hi guys,
First of all i'd like to thank the staff who created pcsx2 and the forum community for the support given. I am a big arcade buff and i have recently retrofitted an arcade cabinet with a PC running hyperspin-fe as a frontend and various emulators in the backend to run pretty much the majority of games. I recently built myself a new gaming PC specifically to run the high end emulators (pcsx2, nulldc, demul, mame, etc). From my initial research i thought the specs i have chosen were adequate to run pcsx2 at reasonable speeds however from my tests they run at aproximately 50% speed.
What could i be doing wrong? Could it be because i'm running windows xp rather then windows Vista/7? I've read that vista/7 runs pcsx2 faster then windows xp due to direct x 10 support. Is this true? Will it be a dramatic increase from my 50% speed? I don't want to rebuild it if there is a marginal benefit.
My specs are
Windows XP
Geforce 9800GT 512MB
Core 2 Duo E7600 (3.06Ghz)
2GB DDR3 Ram
My testcase is
Tekken 5
Here is a photo of my setup for those interested.
Thanks,
Alan
