Hey guys,
I got a question which is hopefully not that noob-like: I once played through Persona 4 with this emulator. And recently, I started again duing this. And now, I discovered the page of the pcsx2-wiki about it: http://pcsx2.wikia.com/wiki/Shin_Megami_..._Persona_4
But there is one fact confusing me: I experimented much with the different speed hacks to finde out the ones working with this title. And I was always nerved, because the INTC Sync Hack doesn't work with it, since it seems to provide a nice speedup. But now, I read in the wiki, that this hack is working with the game. Also, the tester there said to have played the game with an average of 60 fps with an Intel Core 2 Quad @ 2,20 Ghz. And his comment is, that only one boss causes framedrops. But I had framedrops with about every boss and some of them were not that small. Also, I'm playing the PAL version of the game, where the maximum fps is 50, and not 60. I would never have reached that as an average, since the framerate went down in the end, when all party members are staying in front of a dungeon or at the foodcourt of Junes. And I have an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2,66 Ghz. Since quad processors have no advantage, I'm quite confused about this result.
The only difference is, that he used the INTC Sync Hack. But for me, I doesn't have any fps gain, it even makes the game a bit slower. To make a long story short: Do I have to configure something to make the INTC Sync Hack work or do I have to meet other conditions? And how is it possible, that there is a that big difference in fps? How should I configure the game to have it running that smooth? I'm using the latest version of the old gui, and the latest version of GSDX, SPU2-X, CDVD Gigahertz and Lilypad. I used older ones before, but this ones are faster for Persona 4.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this, since Persona 4 is my most favorite game and I'd love to play it smooth on this great emulator!
To make things easier, here are my configurations:
GSDX DirectX 10 Hardware Mode
MicroVU on
EmotionEngine Sync Hack 1,5x
IOP x2 Cycle Rate enabled
Idle Loop Fast-Forward enabled
Status Flag Hack enabled
EE Recs and VU Recs Clamping Modes are both to none.
P.S.: My grafics card can't be limitating, since it's a HD4870^^.
