VU stealing

[ShadowMan]

Hi I playing Dragon quest 8 now. When i set VU stealing to moderate, emu says that i have 60 fps all time but the game much slower than expected ( i feel it when i fighting or walking). Can anyone tell me why this happen?
I used latest revs with recommended settings, only VU stealing was set to moderate coz of my week GPU.

This is one of the potential and likely side effects of VU Cycle Steal. It is not compatible or useful in all games.

VU Cycle Steal doesnt work well with DQ8.

So, there nothing i can do. Anyway, "arigato" for quick reply

flow.of.soul this happen not only in DQ8, Dark cloud 2 has the same problem.

Nearly any game you use VU cycle steal on with "moderate" or higher you'll have this. Some games (like katamary damacy) will have massive slowdowns even with it set only to "slightly" on some levels. This isn't a bug, it's just the nature of the speed hack.

Dark Cloud (the first) works perfectly with VU stealing set to moderate, If that matters at all

it might just be the games I have played, but I haven't really gotten an increase worth note on games like P4, FFXII, Soul Nomad, and SRTZ so I just don't use it. The other speed hacks are more useful, so is trying the newest beta or revision of gsdx.
