There's a lot of people out there that has successfully emulated FF12 to perfection. I've upgraded my CPU and GFX card to match what they use, but only managed to make the game playable rather than perfect. The reason is cause DX10 is so much more CPU-efficient than DX9. How close to perfection can I get? Perhaps you can help me out. This is what I've got.
DX: DirectX 9.0c (XP)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ (dual core, hyperthreading, 3.2ghz)
GFX: Nvidia 8800 GTS
Game: Final Fantasy XII (PAL)
BIOS: USA 1.60
Controller: Logitech Dual Action
Fresh install of PCSX2 0.9.6. With stock settings the heavy movie sequences (intro, consul's speech, battle after first meeting balthier) are a bit choppy (a flicker every ~1-4 seconds). Shorter sequences are perfect. In-game playing is fine, although it does slow down by 5-15 frames every once in a while. Menu navigation seems slightly less responsive. I steal from every monster and am able to rapidly move through the menus to steal from the closest monster in under a second. It moves like quicksilver on the PS2, but seems to lag slightly on PCSX2.
So what do you recommend? Need any more info?
