Heres what I did

I opened PCSX2, placed the game in my computer's cd rom drive, then loaded it into the emulator.

After it finished loading it opened to the System Configuration / Browser screen of the PS2. But I cant figure out how to start the game. Im not what what i did wrong with the emulator

cd rom???
if u don't have dvd rom, u can't get PCSX2 run

 

[Mesden]

Yeah sorry it's a DVDRW Drive. The disk in there is a DVD Rom.

 

[G!lg@me$h]

try using EFP Polling CDVD v0.4.0

if u still don't get it, read here

 

[Mesden]

Now it's a recognizing the image but it's very slow

Either that or very fast but with sound and video

 

[skoreanime]

Might be because of your computer. Want to list us the specs?

 

[Mesden]

Motherboard: A8N SLI SE
Geforce 7950GT Graphics Card
Sound Blast X-Fi Fatal1ty
Roughly 3070MB Ram
Running on Windows Vista with Compatibility Mode for Windows XP for the Emulator
AMD Dual Core Processor, 4800+ (I think)

 

[metalgamer2008]

do you have dual core mode / mtgs enabled?

 

[Mesden]

Well I tried fiddling with all the controls and options and Im still getting a slow response from both sound and video.

Yes those are enabled.

 

[metalgamer2008]

it might be the game then, 'cuz your rig should get at least 30-40 FPS

 

[skoreanime]

Yes, what is your average FPS?

 

[Mesden]

Average is about 35 FPS

 

[skoreanime]

Yeah, sounds about right. Try OC'ing your CPU a tad, it'll help a tad bit.

 

[Mesden]

Im not sure how that's done.. Any easy-to-use Guides?

This is probably your biggest bottleneck. Find out and tell us what kind of RAM sticks you're using.

Go to Start->Run and enter dxdiag. In the page that pops up look at the line that says "Processor:..." and tell us what it says.

How is that his bottle neck? I thaught pcsx2 didnt rely on RAM much.

In which parts is it 35fps? FFX frame rates change alot.

 

[Hatman]

It does not. But it is STILL his biggest bottleneck. The CPU and GPU should go very well together. But any 3GB RAM config, wich probably involves mixing older ram sticks with newer ones, is bad. Slows your whole system down, not just pcsx2.

Yeah, as we found in another thread, it makes a LOT of difference whether ram is in "dual-channel" mode or not. "Dual channel" mode = 2 or 2 pairs of identical ram sticks.

3GB in dual-channel is possible, if you have 2x1GB and 2x512MB. Or, if you're using 4x1GB in a 32-bit pc it will cap up to 1GB off the top to allow direct access to graphics ram. My work pc does this, 4GB of ram, 3GB picked up by Windows, 768MB (3/4 GB) is graphics ram DMA and the other 256MB is reserved by the chipset for I/O buffers (hard-disk DMA etc)
