Well recently got a new laptop and want to know how well it will run Pcsx2.
The Spec:
Processor: i5-2430M 2.4GHz
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 540M 2 GB
8 GB DDR3 Ram
750 GB HDD
OS: Windows 7 64 Bit
Thanks and how hard is it to configure compared to say epsxe?
I have tried a sucker spec than this one before in a laptop with an intel graphic card and dual core. I tweak the configuration a bit. And I can play games like FF X in smooth speed and FF XII with a decent speed (lagg will happen when many things in a place). But I still okay with it.
In this case, you have Nvidia and i5 processor, it should be okay. Not 100% smooth speed cause the emulator itself is ain't perfect but in your case I believe you will satisfied with the speed.
The best way to find out how well an emulator would run on your machine, is to download the emulator and try it out yourself.
He should be ok,.. my pc is super old (intel core 2 duo with a NvidiA gtx 260 4gb ram ddr3 w7 ulti.64bits) and ima run games like Destrudo`s undub ISOs like Persona 3 FES ,4,Stella Deus,FFX-XII etc,.. I think the -stress test- would be with Silmeria . I`ve been trying to run this game but i really can`t,.. my specs are too low. So Mr. Incubusking,if you like rpgs and manage to run that game with decent speed/frames, plz let me know. thx in advance.
I wouldn't consider that "super old" at all. Maybe a little outdated; but definitely adequate enough for daily use for another 10 years. :wacko:Quote:

I`m using speedhacks,that`s true,and yes,i have inconstant frames sometimes (happens when Yuna summons Shiva in FFX for example, the transparency or chrome effect kill mah frames lol).. I don`t wanna steal Incubusking`s thread so my question is: in order to play games like Silmeria or Shadow of the Colossus at decent frames and native res x3 what would you recommend?, incubusking`s i5 is enough? and lets say,.. a gtx 550ti? and the amd counterpart would be like,.. amd phenom II x6 and ati 6950 and more ddr3 ram ?
What i5 do you have? If you've got 4 core i5, Use Multi-Threaded microVU1 to get about 10~45% speedup.Quote:

I can`t use the Multi-Threaded microVU1 cose my processor is an intel core2 duo(E-6600).
i have a Toshiba satellite/satellite Pro C650 Series with its original components
The Spec:
Processor: AMD E-350 1.60GHz
OS: Windows 7 64 Bit
RAM: 3GB
i tried the PCSX2 0.9.8 version and it works really slow... i tried using the speedhacks and went good but the problem is the animation ( what i mean is that when characters speak in "what you call that movie like part of the game (sorry i forget what its called)" they tend to speak in really slow manner....kind like they are in the contest of "who's really slow in speaking contest".. i also tried the 0.9.6 version and 2 warnings always pops out,,,,, first at the configure: "Could Not Load GS plugins 'plugins':< NULL> " pops out after pressing Ok and trying to start the pcs2 with my games mounted.... another error pops out "MemoryCard From file:memcards\Mcd001,ps2" plz could someone help me on this i really like to play the emu....since i didnt get a Ps2 console when i was in college...plz..
Try to use the new builds you can try 4891 beta (http://www.emucr.com/2011/08/pcsx2-svn-r4894.html) or the latest ones r5100s betas (you can download the lates here )http://pcsx2.net/svn.php use the spu2x in async for audio and what game are you trying to play there are games that can't use vucycle stealing at all
The reason why the emulator running really slow is because of your specs, 1.60 is way beyond the minimum requirement,Quote:

Slowdown during the FMV/scene/"what you call that movie like part of the game" is also normal, especially on your specs,
and you won't be able to fix it by using any means(Speedhacks, etc), as they tend to happen frequently, and can be even worst for some games. Unless it was a graphical/audio issues.
You shouldn't have to switch to older builds, since 0.9.8 has been optimized, so are the latest SVN builds.
Try using the basic settings: set the GSdx to Native resolution, use Hardware mode, and D3D 11 or 10.
Then on Speedhacks, set the EE Cyclerate to 3, and VU Cycle Stealing to 1.
tnx bro.. i already did all what you say but it's still the same..i guess i have to give up then.... i'll just stick to pcsx.... maybe it's really not for me... anyways thanks for the time helping me.... i guess playing final fantasy X, X-2 and X11 will remain a dream..
Holla y'all : ]
So, 'cuz i dont wanna open a new Thread i juz' goin' to post here ^^
See, I get it all wrong or miss something, but i tried pcsx2 wit this one:
Intel Pentium 4
3 GHz
1,50 GB RAM
Windows XP (32, i guess?)
ATi Radeon 9800 XT
----> FFX New Game Intro: 25 fpa. suprise suprise! xD Same as Ingame.
I tried to change plugins and all that. Pointless.
I really dont know a lot 'bout Hardware and all that... anyways, i understand:
so, my 1.50 GB RAM is a joke ^_^ Im sure, my graphic card is crap as well :DQuote:
1.60 is way beyond the minimum requirement,
since you need to have at least 2.6
A Friend of mine told me today, the only way to make it playable is to get a complete new Machine... that means ~ 600 €
But, how 'bout adding some RAM to my system??? Wont that get the job done?
AND
Lets say, i hit the 2.60 GHz RAM - do i still need a new Graphic Card?
Before i spend 600 E'z for emulate FFX im gonna buy a PS2 for like 60 Bucks :D
Thx
Much Luv
No, the emulator uses more resources from CPU and GPU, adding more RAM doesn't give much changes.Quote:
