Why this emulator works bad now?
#1
I have 1.7 nightly and it's been a while that i didn't play it, now i updated it and i realize that a lot of games that worked great with the resolution at 6x they are stuttered and unplayable, i have to go low with the resolution to get them good

why? what they broke? how to fix it?

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

that cheats are the interlacing codes for get rid of that horrible blurriness of some games

but games that don't use that also works bad
#8
Which games ?
What did you set your internal resolution at ?
Can you share the statistics when it's slow ?

for example gauntlet seven sorrows works ok, but gauntlet dark legacy is unplayable with the same settings, and seven sorrows looks like a more complex in graphics...

dark legacy was working fine before with this same settings

Ouch.
What if you set internal Res to native?
What about the stats ?

Edit : ok. You already answered.
Probably pcsx2 became more accurate, and rendering all effects is more taxing now.
Can't test those games since I'd it own them, though

Maybe disabling hardware redabacks could help a bit
The stats will probably tell your GPU is struggling.
I didn't see anything wrong with my rig and my games, but I don't try to go past 4x anyways
