Performance loss over the years

[Glyphoid Globular]

Hello,
Well, today was the day. After going to 1.4, (it almost did the job), i went back once again to 0.98, and... it Worked!! i mean really worked!, near perfect emulation!. I am so happy, it is silly, but man i was  long time trying  :`)

i think the key was using direct x 9 hardware, the ss4 gs plugin, no speed hacks but multicore hack  enabled (i guess this were the elements that made all work). Before that i was getting there but with flaws. After this, all worked well.

Well , we mac users with mid 2012 macbook, can still do it lol.

Thank you for your answers anyway, and for the disposition to help.

well, i to specify, this worked with only 2 games (ffxii, macross), the others worked but kinda slow (silent hill 2,3, okami). Anyway i just play those , but the performance really improved. But i cant reach the previous level.I will keep trying, just for the lolz. I am trying to do it in the mac partition (high sierra), but i dont know if the mac install is worth it.

PCSX2 is absolutely an anomaly. The only emulator I've ever seen to actually decrease performance with every subsequent version. I could play 1.4.0, 1080p 60fps no problem. 1.6.0 is totally unplayable. 1.7, with the removal of plugins, has also lost compatibility with some games that needed USB extensions.
