so the games running a lil laggy, sounds off a little bit, its playing but i havent even reached the sin spawn or the save sphere, any ideas on how to make it run better?
im using ZeroGS .97.1
linuz for the iso
and im getting a plugin error
"PLUGIN Load failure" its the SPU2-X.dll file
(sysliberror message <NULL> )
now i made it too fast -_- , anywho is it to slow if im running on intel core 2 duo P8600 @ 2.40ghz?
OK, first put the portaudio and w32 v3 dlls in the folder of the PCSX2. (For the "(sysliberror message <NULL> )" error)
Try the gsdx plugin, is better.
In CPU put frame limit: limit. (if it runs too fast, or press F4 during the game to change that option)
I had problems with the audio when I use the VU cycle stealing, disable it. Try the different speedhacks and see how the FPS change.
Setting the "Clamping Mode" (both) to "None" will also give you some fps. But I haven't played the game much yet, so I don't know if this break anything. But it's working fine for me until now (finished Besaid). Just make sure to change this to "Extra" when you reach the scene of Yuna's first sending in Kilika. The game will freeze if it is set lower there.
Out of curiosity and possibly not related to thread (an apology in advance for the OP), what does the Rounding and Clamping mode really do in general to the emulation pipeline?
The only difference I've ever noticed is when I set the rounding both to Chop/Zero, the character I controlled in Ar Tonelico 2 when walking on the fields will "sink" whenever it's nearing a treasure chest; it's fixed by setting both the rounding mode to Nearest.
Aside from that, setting it to a higher than defaults is generally a fix for hangs and crashes at some games.
Any insights?
Well, regarding Clamping,
this might help you. And I guess Rounding is somewhat related to this, but I'm just guessing.
After reading that one and
Nightmare on Floating-Point Street, I'm more motivated to kick people on their g'nads for being grumpy on how slow PCSX2 can be on mid-range CPUs.
Doesn't care for infinities and having a knack of using a big-ass number; nice.
Maybe in case of AT2, when the game calculates the range between the character and the box to show up an exclamation mark icon over its head, the Chop/Zero rounding mode made the result having the entire field's plane shot up relative from the character's position.
...BIG maybe. =b
