The Third Age battle slowdown

[Ajensen]

Im trying to play LOTR: The Third Age but everytime I get to battle (the transition) my fps drops to 1 and there is sound pitching. Everything else in-game runs nice and smooth, I can't figure the problem.
My specs

CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 5450
Memory: 6 GB
Operating System: Win 7 64

Using PCSX2 1.0.0 r5350 playing it from and .iso

My config:

that CPU is way too weak

Using PCSX2 1.0.0 r5350

that version us way too old and unsupported.
and finally setting speedhacks thathigh isn't a good idea, and will probably bring more slowdowns that helping

I know, but I only have that peculiar problem, everything else is working fine.

I didnt know this, I got the link from a post and didnt check the date lel. I'll lower the speed hacks then. Thanks for the reply

Alright, I installed the version 1.2.1 r5875 and disabled speedhacks, setting to 1 and some other values but I dont see any improvement in any case. Do you have another idea what it might be?

[jesalvein]

your CPU.
as I said, it's way too weak, and won't handle some effects correctly.
Some effects my be removed by setting skipdraw to 1 (i see you already did it.
remove msaa since your GPU isn't very good either and untick texture filtering.

apart from that, not much you can do expect playing on your PS2 until you can afford a better machine

[Ajensen]

Well I guess I will deal with it until I upgrade my rig, do you any recommendation for a vidya cpu?

[jesalvein]

mine isn't bad.

anything equivalent or better will perform well.

My GTX 650 has served my nicely. I only get the occasional drop to around 53fps at 3x native on Burnout 3
