PCSX2 Game Statistics Index
This is an emulator performance index to track PCSX2 game performance and computer specifications. This is complementary to PCSX2 Game Troubleshooting Guide.
Data compilation for FPS Prediction Subsection Project cancelled [Out-dated]: Use for reference only.
The theory behind this thread is to create a unified statistical analysis of the many data fields gathered from the Screenshots Thread and other sources to aid in the developers' and end-users' analysis of the emulated experience. For a practical example, the Specification to FPS analysis should help reduce the spawning of "Is this PC powerful enough to run game X at decent speeds" threads.
The setup and layout are as follows: the first post (this post) will act as the primary indexing page whereas all future STATS posts or screenshots thread links will be linked to in an organized manner. That is, by means of categorizing each game in alphabetical order, and general articles in the respective order of importance. Each link will have by its side a brief detail of the peak FPS for the game, and the link to its corresponding KB article, if any.
If the same title exhibits similar performance despite the region, then a single STATS article will be linked for all. If there is more than one STATS entry per game, an advanced STATS page will be made for that game. This STATS page may contains benchmark with specifications and settings to assist with performance expectations.
By default, the setup will be such that individual games that have little data will be linked to the Screenshots post directly while those with more data can be analyzed specifically with specific STATS articles.
For complimentary purposes, attached is the indexed Screenshots Thread, GameStats.xls with 437 manually made entries with fields of:
GAME, REGION, STATUS, EMU_VERSION, OS, FPS_MENU_MIN, FPS_MENU_MAX, FPS_INGAME_MIN, FPS_INGAME_MAX, CPU_BRAND, CPU_MODEL, CPU_CLOCK, RAM, GPU_BRAND, GPU_MODEL PLUGIN_GS, PLUGIN_GS_VERSION, PLUGIN_SOUND PLUGIN_SOUND_VERSION, PLUGIN_CDVD, PLUGIN_CDVD_VERSION, Disable Forced ABS, EE/IOP Sync Hack, and REFERENCE.
The data was collected manually from the first 420 posts in the screenshots thread. Posts without FPS were analyzed based on the screenshots: for those with few screenshots, the FPS_INGAME_MAX is the highest value for the ingame screenshots. Those with multiple appropriate screenshots were evaluated with minimum and maximum. Those without any FPS details were dropped. Posts of games with menu problems while having minimal data were dropped. Posts claiming "full speed" were not recorded, as this was a relative opinion. Multiple reposts were accumulated in the analysis.
Caution: Playable in the file adopts a different meaning than the one in the compatibility list.
The meaning implies the game seemed to work fine for the player at the time of testing, which may not be a complete testing, unlike in the compatibility list.
Due to the indexing, any posts in-between are welcomed as they will be disregarded when browsing through the actual index.
The format is below the index. A sample report is shown below this post.
Contribution will be much appreciated by anyone who finds a new means of analysis via a particular approach.
Do not ask performance questions or report bugs here. This thread is for the access and creation of STATS articles. Use the appropriate forums instead.
(Though suggestions for improvement would be appreciated.)

. All I can say is kudos man. Not sure if it's necessary, but we haven't seen someone so enthusiastic about the project for awhile now
