optimizing Persona 4 to it's very best

[sofakng]

Has anybody tried the very latest SVN GSdx plugin? It sounds like it might fix the rainbow floors problem...

I'm at work right now but I'm going to go home and compile it...

it working great with the new pcsx2. i have the pal version so its only 50 fps. but i got one issue when walking trough your house and in town.

yea, at those places it shows a bit sps, but not always, I don't think it is a gsdx error. (ralph9994: just noticed the screenshot "here", that's fixed in the svn build)

I have some problems with the slowdowns.

I am currently at the Kanji's bathhouse and every fight has a slowdown. In some fights the fps I get range from 45 to 56-58 (this is tolerable) and in some of them it's from 39-40 to 51 (this becomes very very annoying because the screen starts to blink like hell and my eyes start to hurt lolol). I also had similar slowdowns in Yukiko's castle. Only fights with normal FPS were first few fights (mysterious silhuete from the dream, first two monsters that attacked me and Yosuke's shadow). I'm using Pcsx2 Playground 1.0.0395 with these settings

except that I'm using gsdx 1.4 and "nearest" for the vu recs roundmode.

A also tried the game (but only the first dungeon, Yukiko's castle) with Pcsx2 720 I found on this forum and it was also slow in the fights...

Can I fix those slowdowns somehow?

btw. my PC
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz
GeForce 98000 GT 1 gb
4 GB RAM
Win XP 32-bit

Wabius:
Use the latest beta of pcsx2. We fixed a slowness problem that triggered in Persona4 (and Tekken5) some time ago.
Playground release still has that problem.

Oh, and get rid of vuskip, you don't need it and it causes more trouble than it fixes.

Edit: You don't need any hack for that matter. Default pcsx2 settings will play this game fast on your rig.

and than use it with pcsx2 0.9.5 or I should also use the newest pcsx2, the 0.9.6 version?

Download 0.9.6 and extract/install it,then follow the beta installation instructions in that thread

anyone know how to fix the flickering/flashing textures during some of the dialogue parts?

first screenshot is what its supposed to look like and second screen you can see the messed up textures on the door in the background, during the scene it constantly flashes back and forth to normal and messed up

ive tried messing around with different settings and nothing seems to fix it at all...i think i tried running it in dx10 software and that actually got rid of the problem but the game doesnt run too well so not really a good fix...

The persona engine has a few path3 masking issues left (you'll get missing geometry like this occasionally).
But if software rendering really fixes this issue for you, then this is a normal case of imprecision messing up the graphics.

In both cases there's not much to do, and common, you can live with that, can't you?
