All of a sudden PCSX2, and other emulators like dolphin, began lagging on my gaming laptop. When I play modern pc games, they work fine. I tried playing Sonic Heroes in PCSX2 which was working fine the other week. When I resumed my save state I noticed fps drops in the 40s and 30s. When i reset and went to title screen it lagged too. When the window is in small mode it works fine at full speed. But when I double click to do full screen it slows down. I installed PCSX2 0.97 beta and it is working properly on full screen at full speed. But how can I fix the current build and/or my other emulators? When I flipped over my laptop i seen quite a bit of dust in the fans and got off what i could with a sock. But it hasnt shut down from overheating or anything else like that, and the modern games are running fine. Any help would be great. I know it's a complicated process. I know you probably want screenshots and log reports. I just don't understand why it went from working to running like crap seemingly overnight. I am on a Dell G7 7500 with Nvidia Geforce RTX 2070 Max-Q.
