slow games

[Kerberos]

Hey. I have a problem with the emulater. It runs slow on my computer. As far as i'm corncerned a CPU intel core duo 2,4Ghz should be enough to run most games. But all the time the emulater uses 99% of my CPU and it still lags / runs slow a lot. Anyone know what to do?

It is especially when there is a lot og graphic.. but i have a good graphics card (geforce 7950 GT) it shouldn't have any problems runne these games. Anyone know whats wrong?

thc for the help

P.S. i have overclocked my system for 84Mhz, but it hasn't helped

What games are you trying to play? 2.4 GHZ processor isn't fast enough for a lot of games.

The 7950GT is pretty slow for emulation purposes, and it doesn't have DirectX 10 capabilities, which will hold you back.

damn it! i have a duo core, so i got 4,8Ghz in total, i think that is good.
I thought my graphics card was good
I have been trying to run Crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex and SSX tricky.

damn! time for a new pc

84 mhz !!!! Thats insane
Personally, I would go 90, myself, should make the mouse pointer move a little faster
And 4.8 ghz ? lmao

omfg so i have 6.4Ghz???? so why i cant render my files in 3ds fast??

xDDDDD

ps check with search u can find a lot of info in that way

hmm, laugh at me i dont know a lot about this and overclocking
yea my pc is a little old, but should be strong enough to run even older games

no, u should't compare the pc games with the emulation of the ps2, thats two different things... u can try with speed hacks and oc ur cpu and gain a few more fps.

ps the fact that u have two cores doesnt make that each one have 2.4ghz, thats the total frecuncy.

ps engrish ftw... right? XD

Yep, don't compare running PC games to running a PS2 emulator, too many people here have a habit of doing that.
I can run PC versions of GRID, NFS Shift, Burnout Paradise, FlatOut Ultimate Carnage all max details 1440x900 and 60fps, yet I struggle to get 60fps on PS2 Gran Turismo 4 on some tracks.
You're not actually running a PS2 game, you're running a PS2 emulator where your PC mimics the PS2 hardware, and that then runs the PS2 game, in a way.

Uh...that's not how it works at all. You have 2 CPUs that can run at 2.4 GHZ independently. They don't combine or whatever for 4.8 GHZ.

hmm, allright. I need more general info on computers then is it possible to get a single processor strong enough to run the simulater smoothly?
