Hello, all. I'm new and looking for a little help getting games to a playable state using the latest PCSX2.
I just got the new release, with the updated plugins. I'm using GSdx SSE41, in DX9 mode using mostly default values. I'm using a small amount of frame skip, yet I can't seem to break past 25fps in any game I try.
My specs are:
P8400 Core 2 Duo @ 2.49GHz
4GB DDR2-800 RAM
GeForce 9800M GTS 512MB
Now I know the CPU isn't an extreme edition, but I thought it should perform better than this. One thing I noticed is that according to GSdx my CPU usage is never going past 25% or so. I'm not running background tasks, and I'm in dual core mode and everything. Are there any tricks to getting PCSX2 to use my processor correctly?
FYI, the games I tried so far have been NTSC versions of Smackdown: Just Bring It, Final Fantasy X, and Gran Turismo 4.
