    Question ePCSX2 Help-ish stuff.

    I just got this pc and i've tried running epcsx2 and it ran at 60 fp/s on average but hit a few decent drops to 30-40 fp/s. Here are my stats, tell me if im just lucky to get kingdom hearts one to run and wil never get any better games to run.

    Intel pentium dual E5800 @ 3.06 GHZ
    3gb DDR3 memory
    1TB hardrive
    Intel GMAX4500 @ 1.3gb integrated GPU.

    There, that's your problem.

    KH is playable on your computer, with few/major slowdown on some area or battle, which expected to happen.
    You can try maxing out the Speedhacks(EE Cyclerate), and Native is enabled on GSdx. See if there any differences.

    They still make Pentium processors ? Is it a desktop or a laptop?

    You can get a decent video card for $50 - $70. I wouldn't try pushing my luck and going any higher, power supplies in pre-builts are usually as cheap as possible.

    I've had four eMachines computers, and only one is still working (by some miracle). If you bought it recently enough, you may want to consider returning it. I really hope you didn't pay too much for it :\.

    What he said; FMCB is the easiest and the best PS2 mod by far.

    DLC? there is no existing DLC for PS2, AFAIK.

    Are you referring to .ISO?
