PCSX2 Ico, Colossus, and Fatal Frame

[deathneko11]

Ok, decided to throw a few games into the bunch and see what yall think. Ico and Shadow of Colossus, and Fatal frame 3 are all having the same issue. I have a speed drop and cant get the frame rate up to play normal. any other game I've played I can play on normal speed though, with the exception of a few spots. Also, in Fatal frame 1 I can hardly get a light on the camera circle to take a shot with for enemies, and for normal no threat shots I cant get a blue circle for a photo at all.

Another weird thing is that the buttons dont seem to work right in all of the Fatal Frame games. For example, I have to hold down the LB button to use the B button (O on a ps2 controller) to bring the camera up, and the RT in order to use the A (X on a ps2 controller) to take a shot. The controller I am using is an XBOX 360 controller, hardwired, microsoft brand. so if anyone can help me figure this one out that'd be great, if not, then it's not that big of a concern I suppose. all the other games i've played function just fine with it.

I do use Game Booster to speed up my system for gaming.

Hardware: Toshiba Satellite, i-7 quad core, 3.20 ghz, 6 gigs ram, nvidia 540M.

Software: Windows 7 home premium 64, DirectX 11.

Emulator version is 0.9.8.
Bios USA v02.30(20/02/2008)
Plugins are whatever default that comes with the emulator.
I use the speedhacks EE Cyclerate on 2 and VU Cycle Stealing between 0 and 1 depending on the game.

I can't think of any other relevant information. got any ideas for either of these 4 games? the help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
