Hello all =D

I am currently playing Kingdom Hearts 1 all has been well untill I have got to destiny island the frame rate drops dramatically from around 60 FPS to around 10 FPS when i get to certain cut scenes.

up EE cycle rate to 3 (if i recall it's one of the few games that doesn't suffer from audio stuttering, if you get it set it down to 2) and enable all recommended hacks, don't use above 2x scaling.

Thankyou very much just give it a quick whirl framerate is still slowish but nowhere near as bad as it was but i can live with it from what i read i can understand it not being perfect + rep to you

and kudos to the makers of this great emulator

is above 2x scaling for the custom res settings? or the speed hacks?

Scaling means that the native resolution will be doubled, so let's say native is 512 by 512, if u set it on Scaling 2x it would be 1024 by 1024.
