so when i load the game and in load screens it goes very fast up to 60 fps. but when i actually play the game for example pickup mode, it goes very slow and drops down to 20-30 fps which is unplayable

i have amd phenom™ ii x4 955 processor (4 cpus), ~3.2GHz
8 gb ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 TI graphics card
windows 7
newest pcsx2

ive also looked at youtube videos for ways to remove lag but it doesn't work. i am able to play games like dbz perfectly this is the only game i have trouble with.
any help would be greatly appreciated

what are your ee & gs % when getting slowdowns ?
are you playing from disc ?

ee ~75 GS ~15
not playing from disc im playing from ISO i made from my disc

hm.
speedhacks don't change anything ?
did you try software mode & 3 extra threads ?

nope speed hacks do not help
tried software mode how do i add 3 extra threads

you should have an "extra renderer threads" box you can tick & the bottom of gsdx options window.

adding 3 helped a little bit but it's still a little laggy

if i were to add like 30 would that mess anything up?

you could try, but i don't think it'll help since you have only 4 cores

still very laggy

Hmm, could this be a CPU intensive game? I don't have these games anymore (no idea what happened to my old discs, lol) so I can't test them myself right now.

I guess all you can do is try overclocking your CPU or getting a new CPU altogether.
