kingdom hearts 2 final mix help

[luckyseven67]

so not sure if answer is somewhere its the middle of the night while writing and have been looking for an answer. so i can basically run the game fine with decent fps but, recently whenever i acces the menu after going to another world or area the gs goes down a lot and when i exit the menu it stops and goes back to normal. any advice would really suffice right now. also im not really good with advanced stuff

Is this the original game of patched to English?

GS doesn't have to do as much on menu's as it does on 3D geometry and effects.

Looks like you are not using the default settings for EE/IOP and VUs...try using them

well i tried but the same result for some reason going into the menu makes it lag. along with getting black screened on xigbar's boss fight which is probably a different problem. man why now it worked so well before.
