Hello all.
First of all, thanks for your hard work. Being able to play PS2 games on PC is an achievement thanks to you guys.
Now, recently I remembered that there might be some good games on PS2 I'd like to play on my PC but since I never used PCSX2 I wanted to test it first. I borrowed Persona 3 from my friend and downloaded PCSX2. I had no major problems with configuration but it boggles my mind that the game can run awfully slow sometimes (especially when there are more people on the screen). I tried everything, previous versions of PCSX2, different plugins, CPU/speedhacks and other advanced things configs and still nothing.
I thought it was weird because I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om6bOBvQ14Y and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKQcIsb-bHg on youtube. In these videos the game runs flawlessly and they were done almost a year ago. Especially the second one surprised me because its author is able to run it on over 200 fps while I sometimes get 30 max and the game is really slow then.
So I think the only problem here can be my PC.
My specs are:
AMD Phenom 9650 quad-core 2.3GHz (this might be the problem)
3gb ram
Geforce 9800gt with the newest drivers.
Am I correct to think that it's the CPU's fault? And if so, can it be fixed?
