Hello PCSX2 Forums,
I have a Quad Core with an 8800 GT and 4gigs of ram (xp only recognizes 2.7 or something). In the opening cinematic of the game (girls going out to sing) my frame rate drops from 50-60 (opening cinematic to menu) to 15 or so and the sound is slowed down as per my instructions in the Config.
I tried using the frame skipping options in the config -> CPU. This essentially does make it run faster but it still isn't as fast as it is on the PS2 (and the VU actually makes it worse). The reason I'm using the emulator is because I don't have a TV/PS2 in my apartment (it's in my parents house).
Should I be using a different BIOS? (I'm not asking where to get one) And if yes which one would you recommend for this game? I will most likely not be playing any other games, since by the time I'm done with this one I will be getting my original PS2. I have a legal copy of FFx-2 but my PS2 tipped 7 hours into the game and tatoo'd my disk beyond recognition, so I've been dying to play/finish this game for quite a while as I am a fan of the series.
The version of the game is Pal Eng. I will try playing it with the Frame Skip in effect, perhaps it's only the Cinematics that run slowly. I read through the detailed Guide on how to configure the thing so feel free to give me simple directions. If I don't understand something I'll just ask. Right now I'm using the default options with my own configurations (I used the guide). If you need to know a precise configuration please let me know and I'll gladly share it with you.
Addition: I played around with some more options and reverted to the old ones and now nothing seems to work. I will try closing all the back ground windows and processes to see if that helps.

PS: Does one save like on the PS2 or outside of the game in the config window? Does the Analogue work with a gamepad?
PPS: After monkeying with it the cinematics are really really slow (12 fps) even with the Frame Skip setting. The gameplay isn't as fun as it was on the PS2... everything's choppy and it slows down and speeds up as it likes. I'm getting 50 fps but it doesn't feel like it. I ordered a controller so perhaps once I have that it will work better/make the game more enjoyable. I will play around some more once that arrives. In the mean time any advice is appreciated.
