Thanks for the guide! Very informative indeed.Start here : PCSX2.net - Guide
I will watch the temperature as it gets pretty hot if I'm running on high performance.Running it as an ISO is more ideal to prevent skips whenever the game may need to load from the disc and the disk may be stopped, but it won't magically make the frame rate itself better. It'll just eliminate the skips and hitches during loading.
The problem is both the CPU and GPU. They're both too slow. It's probably the GPU that's holding you back a bit more though.
Also, as this is a laptop, beware of temperatures. Make sure it's not freezing due to overheating.
Well that gave me hope.Give up on what? You're already getting good speed considering the hardware.
All I have to say that may help are these two things.
1. Window mode is slower than fullscreen (but 800x600 fullscreen on an LCD is going to look like utter rubbish, so you make that call).
2. Check your power profile configuration (in both the OS and the BIOS). It might be clocking you down.
