newbie question

[Mabpwnu]

hey everyone, sorry if these questions are kinda dumb but im somewhat new to the ps2 emulation world. The problem i have is playing Marvel Vs Capcom 2. I load the game up by using the load cd/dvd option. the game starts up fine. i notice thta the audio sounds a bit slow. So i press start to continue. And then i come to the character selection screen. It gets choppy here. Im getting 60fps then it jumps down to 38 fps. and it goes up and down continiously. So i continue and choose my characters and when the match starts up i notice its still a bit slow and choppy and that the characters look a bit blocky. looks like someone cut the character and pieced it together. So i searched the forums to try to find the answer and tried a couple different option in speed hacks and graphics option. but still nothing. Anyone have a solution to my problem? here are my comp specs

Windows Xp pro
2GB ram
2.4ghz Intel Core 2 quad
NVidia GeForce 8800 GTS

get the latest public beta of pcsx2. use gsdx-ssse3 and set it to "native". run the game as an iso image with linuziso as your cdvd plugin. try the "vu cycle stealing" speed hack. no idea how demanding this game is and your cpu is a bit slow for most ps2 games, so don't expect too much.

Ok so i did all that and when i go to load it through iso option is says "error opening cdvd plugin". and also when i click configure an error screen pops up saying "this application has failed to start because the d3dx_41.dll was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem" and then it opens the configuration screen. any solution to that? or just ignore it?

You did a ISO of the game? I suggest you use the ImgBurn app to make the ISO.

About the dll file missing I suggest you use the directx web installer from here: http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-3031.html

ok il dl the web installer. but i dled a copy of the game and its in iso format. what i was doing when id run it cd/dvd i mounted the img to a virtual drive. but since i was told now to run it as iso i got that problem. il try what you suggested also though. thanks

EDIT - I have the actually ISO of the game. and when i click File>run iso img. i get that error saying it cant open cdvd
