I wish I could sum up my problem in just one question, but here is a few complaints, I have been noticing of lately that maybe some of you can help me with :
1. I upgrade from PCSX2 0.9.6 to 0.9.8 only to find FFX going from 60 fps to 30 fps (see the problem) on my nice 1920 x 1200 monitor. Now, I know size is not every thing, but I tend to like my fullscreen picture. Even if I cant get it with surround sound.
2. Upon noticing this huge drop in fps I realize that the reason for it is not the emulator but the video plugin upgrade instead so naturally, I downgrade the plugin back to 0.1.14[ssse3]. And naturally, the next thing breaks like the "ESC" key no longer gets me back to PCSX2 window (lets caulk this one up to just plain annoying, where is that next save point), so say goodbye to clean exits, or maybe pausing the game surfing the net then getting back into it. you know the usual cool stuff. Now I get to do a hard crash with ALT+TAB.
3. Oh so now is when I talk about why I did this to begin with and what annoys because it still happens from time to time. At random some time after I start the game but sometime before I finish exiting the game, the game decides to just crash, and black screens / purple screens on me and everything is frozen can't do a thing (Any you thought the BSOD was bad look out now the PSOD is rolling out). Nothing works. Oh but get this I can remote desktop in and I can kill everything and work on my desktop just fine, so I think PCSX2 just took out my video card. Just a minor detail. Who needs video anyways. Not like you really need that to work. So in order to fix this I have to reboot my computer which is a server board from 06s mind you yeah its made it past its expiration date.
If your still here and got any ideas or think you can help this is some shot and specs:
CPU: Dual Processor 5160s
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 (Driver Version 8.17.12.6658) [Because someone is going to ask]
I don't know if this slows things down but I use Daemon Tools to mount an .iso and then read from there. Instead of reading direct. Dont ask why just do. Or I read direct if I have yet to make the iso. I usually make the .iso so I don't have to spin my own disk.
I was using keyboard for input but will try using a gamepad shortly but doubt that will add issues.
Ahh now for the show if it matters ... see looks normal to you that's what I thought so any suggests, thoughts, ideas, anxieties, yeah, well, whatever just leave them in the box, below right there, yep right there!
