Maybe, maybe not. Just try it out.

FF10 is one of the "friendlier" PS2 games that runs well even on relatively underpowered systems. Just remember to download the latest version of PCSX2 (currently 0.9.6) and turn on some speedhacks/frame skipping if the game is running poorly with the default settings.

 

That video card is really underpowered.

 

You should be able to run ffx with no issuses. make sure if your playing the pal version of the game that you run the latest pcsx2 beta. there is a crash fix that will really help you out. (the beta is 1190). also just a reminder that you may have to limit your fps if your cpu renders the game too fast. if you do customize the frame limit to 60 fps>skip frams if slower than 50fps> skip 1 frame and run 3 consecutive frames. i have a core i7 920 and have to limit the frames because my processor runs the game at 150+ fps. which changes all of the dialog to mice. causing the game to be funny sounding but unenjoyable.

Thanks a lot! Now I just gotta figure out where to download everything! I'm new to ps2 emulation...is help too much to ask?

 

pcsx2.net and the latest betas are on forums.pcsx2.net.

 

If by 1.8 you mean 1.8GHz then pcsx2 will run very slow for most 3D games. Best is to overclock the cpu to gain more speed.

I guess? google the processor and I've always been interested in overclocking but... no idea how to do it / : Thanks again!

If you're interested in OC, you need to know very few things before you even try it, you can damage your HW if you aren't sure what are you doing.

Also you need a "compatible" HW for OC like a mobo that let you play with the voltages, etc.

With your current settings your CPU and VGA will hold it down the performance of PCSX2, OC the CPU around 2.5GHz will help you with the fps, but still many games will be slow.

Also PCSX2 doesn't benefit with quad cores, only uses 2, and that's the cause why PCSX2 recommend dual cores over the quads.

First I have to change the power supply, my comp only cost me 428$ in best buy rofl...not a bad deal tho but it did come with 300watt PS

Other than that, I'm downloading FFX.PAL file and I already got the 0.9.6 version of the emulator so....I'll post here the results before changing the hardware.

And as I said at first, I run a HD game, Half life 2, with all on max and its at 40 FPS in open enviroments...very playable...

I already have the game but my PS3 can't play it....They all say its illegal UNLESS you already bought the game...is it not?

 

thats a good question. i would still call it piracy. because that is not your copy of ffx.pal. you can use nero or any other program to copy an image of the dvd to your hardrive if you have the cd.

ps. i know you said you have0.9.6, but make sure you use the beta 1190. your going to hit some really hard graphical issues with ffx.pal. and the problems were fixed in the beta. the first one is at djose temple when you exit the temple.

if you dont use the beta then you will not be able to get past this part.

good luck.... and good game choice!

 

Its illegal regardless. if you already have the game THEN RIP IT TO YOUR COMPUTER

 

yeah... sigh... as stated above they are not fond of piracy. good luck in your endevours.

kinda of a side note.... i would rename squal leonharts alias to head master cid kramer. as he was the rule mandator of final fantasy 8. :drool:

 

>.> actually, that was the garden master party..... Cid was never too into rules....

 

hahaha. squall does have a sense of humor. good then i will be like seifer and keep dreaming of my romantic fantasy with a witch. bwahaha

0.o .... Well still downloading... 4 gigs >_< ... FF7 and 10 ftw!!! 8 was OK...

 

You're gonna get a strike if you keep it, and possibly get your account erased, and POSSIBLY a banhammer. So, stop it.

Rip the game or get out.

 

yeah dude chill. im excited for you, but they will lay that pipe if you keep breaking the rules. squall posted the link to the conduct rules.

Well the download was taking too long so I decided to do the right thing and I read up how to burn the image off of my FFX CD...was hard tho....ran into a lot of walls...but finally figured it out...ok guys, so now i have the iso image...now what?

 

download daemon tools lite. mount the image. set the plugin in pcsx2 to read whatever virtual drive that you mount the image on. and viola. your ready to play. or so you hope.

 

Play...it.
Assuming you did it right, of course.

Tell us if anything happens.

All right, so I mounted the image and on the PCSX2 0.9.6 , when I hit run CD/DVD, says it cannot create gsLog.txt, GSinit error: -1, Failed loading MemoryCard from file: memcards/MCd001.ps2, same message except with MCd002, again the cant create gsLog.txt, the error message again, and error opening CDVD plugin.... I hate errors -.-

-Thanks again for all the help *.*!

 

right click the pcsx2 icon. select properties. under compatability tab select always run as an administator.

Ok, now it did open, started to shake 0.o and then after like 4 seconds it stopped working.
