Hi, I am a bit new to emulators.
I just followed the steps in the guide to set my settings in PCSX2, the new beta version.
I can play, graphics are okay, but my playing speed is so slow. If it helps, these number are displayed in the title bar
FPS: 40-45
EE: 98%-100%
GS: 45-50%
UI: 0-3%
I am playing Final Fantasy X

These are my plugins:
GSDx 3693 (MSVC 15.00, SSE41) 0.1.16 [gsdx-sse4-r3878]
LilyPad svn
SPU2-X r3702m 1.4.0 [spu2-x-r3837]
cdvdGigaherz
USBNull driver
FWnull driver
DEV9null driver

system hardware on my sig. (Asus Laptop)

I am a bit new, so please help me. thanks.

Are you running from a DVD or ISO?

I tried both. same results.

you have a weak GPU.
set gsdx internal res to native to get a little speedboost

now i tried all games that i have. kingdom hearts 2 is running good. grandia III slows on gameplay. around 3-40 fps too. but on cutscenes, fps hits 55-60. i dont know what is worng but i can't play correctly. please help me.

Graphics card is weak. It can't play very well on high graphics games.

i also tried on my PC, same results
Core 2 Duo e8400 clocked at 3.8GHz
4GB RAM
1GB GeForce 9400GT
windows 7 64 bit

Hehehe, it's just so odd thinking that 2 years ago people where posting "wait a few years" to get a game like Final Fantasy X at a playable speed. Unlike those DS emulators, pcsx2 actually improved =P

You'd have to have a pretty weak video card to not run FFX at full speed, it's one of the most processor friendly games out there.

Just a quick question though...did you enable the speed hacks? They won't affect the compatibility for the most part.

I thought it's the EE thats his limitation and therefore his CPU, not his GPU? Although that sounds odd given his processor so I'll just shut up now
