Youtube's quality doesn't really do it justice. I took some screenshots from FEAR3, though. This is what it looks like on my end.

40 FPS (during combat) is the best I can manage on ZoE2, I haven't checked with native res.

What other games have you tried, and what kind of framerate were you getting, by the way? Just out of curiosity.

I personally find that setting it to native res doesn't really help at all, but maybe that's just me.

That's pretty much what I paid for it on Steam, IIRC. :wacko:

I prefer the really good codes...like $2 or something. Since I'm a cheap-ass :P

It has minor impacts on the rates. I can get full on everything else I've tried. I've tried Ar Tonelico, FF XII, Shadow of the Colossus, Tales of the Abyss, and Winback.

Huh, seems like your PC's better than mine, then. I couldn't run SotC as far as I remember, and encountered slowdowns in certain areas of FFXII. Although the rest of the game (mostly the tutorial with Reks) ran at full speed.

I have to set constant FS to one to get full speed in SotC, when I play at higher resolutions anyway. Is there a version of GDsx10 that supports SSE4?

I need to upgrade my ram, the CPU has a rated bus speed of 1300mhz and my ram is running at 333.

Local rendering and a physical copy for me :P. Can you backup the installer for games you get on Steam?

Might have to try that with SotC. I haven't really messed around with settings when I tried it. I kinda just gave up after my first try. :wacko:

There might be, Google for it. I can only use SSE2, though.

Frameskipping works pretty well in PCSX2. Only version I can find is .1.4, and it only supports SSE2.

The best I can get for Resident Evil 4 (GC) is 25FPS, using the JITIL recompiler. None of the other settings have any effect.

If you mean you make a backup of the game files in your Steam folder so you won't have to redownload it every time you want to reinstall it, then yes. I've done it myself several times.

Oh, and Shard, you meant the frame skipping under the GS tab? I've tried that and it always makes the game all flickery and shit. :wacko:

Yes. As long as you don't set frames to draw and frames to skip too far apart, it shouldn't cause trouble. Tales of the Abyss didn't play nice with FS on, there were some general graphical issues with that though.

Cycle rate of 2 and cycle stealing at one seems the most stable. I almost had to force my computer off when I tried Zoe2 with cycle stealing at 2 :S.

Just 'cause Black Ops is my last played game on PS3 doesn't mean I actually like it. :wacko:

I'll try messing around with it, though it still causes issues when they're not far apart at all. Not that I need to rely on it too much. I only get slowdown in the more demanding games. Like Valkyrie Profile 2. Or Rogue Galaxy. If you can run battles in that game at full speed, your PC kicks ass. :wacko: Good thing I still have my PS2 for games like that.

You're right, I noticed that it's kind of the sweet spot that seems to give the best results. Speed hacks are awesome. :wacko:

I'm tempted to save up some cash and get a JTAG 360. ;_; I would just get a flashed one again but I can't be arsed forking out money for DVD+R DL.

There are so many games released recently that I'd like to try before I buy (for PS3) like: Alice Madness Returns, Homefront, FEAR 3, Shadows of the Damned, etc. This way I can be a cheap arse and get the XBLA games I refuse to pay money for too. :wacko:

EDIT: A CFW PS3 would've been good but since so few new releases actually work, it ain't worth it.

Had to be said. :wacko:

Wasn't anything 'special' about it, but it was hilarious. They made a train out of a V12 Jaguar XJS, and Rowen Atkinson was on. And it was funny, etc. Watch it.
