Bee, I noticed that you've got your fps locked at 60, however when I do that the games run way too fast so I have to set it to 50. Any idea why that is?

the game doesn't run at a constant 60 by any means, when its running around the limit its bouncing around 58-62 but theres periods of big slowdown and a few sound glitches, that 60.00fps is just pure luck
i certainly wouldn't say its fully playable for nowrun limit in cpu frame limiting and not vu skip + custom frame limit and it auto detects what your game should run at max, always worked for me

both zerogs and gsdx gfx plugins work great for this game it really is the poster child game for it. i finished the game start to finish using this emu, using zerogs select 4xaa or 8xaa or if you use gsdx ramp up the internal resolution to fairly insane levels although there's another way to force aa with gsdx, bit complicated though read it HERE

Really? I remember reading a long time ago that x64 builds on a proper x64 OS would yield better results as the code could take advantage of the chips archtiecture or some such.
Is Kingdom Hearts II Playable? That game looks like sex on the PS2, with the AA and what not that would make it look awesomely awesome on the PC.

Oh ok then, thanks.
I just tried Kingdom Hearts 1 and my framerate really sucks on it. Then I noticed that only around 15% of my CPU is getting used, same with every other game. Is that normal?
Edit: I enabled patches and it works a treat =D

Wow, that really cleans the graphics up nicely. Any word on whether or not there will be an emulator for PS3?
I couldn't get this to work at all - it spews line after line of numbers into a DOS box and hangs. I tried following the guide, updating the plugins, etc. As someone with a decent PS2 collection and a BC-less PS3, this could be amazing.
Are there any obvious issues I might be overlooking?

I have a 2.4 Ghz processor and 3 gigs of ram, plus a 8800 GTX, will this run good?

running on a phenom 9950 black edition (4x2.6ghz), 4gb ram, gf9600 gt
ffx at stable 50 fps (pal 50) with the playground release and sound is fluid too.
tried: dq8 runs fine but not as good as ffx, we love katamari pal crashes at the beginning of the video, soul calibur2 runs at 70% cpu speed, shadow of the colossus runs at 25 fps but looks more fluent as on original ps2 but a bit slower due to 50% cpu, gta vc crashes at loading screen or takes very long, disgaea 1 &2 dosnt boot anymore.
thats all i tested oh and the emulator uses only 3 cpu cores which arent even at max usage.

All this talk about FFX makes me wanna play it. I've never played it before is it good?
Also, anyone tried Ridge Racer V and OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast? How do they run?

Has anyone got God Hand working? I swear it was working yesterday but I must have changed something and now my fps is laughable.

Yeah, Persona 4 is another game I'm thinking about playing via this emu. I'm not sure I'd want to play it on the PS2 simply because the PS2 doesn't have save states, and I hear P4 is an extremely long and challenging game. I'd definitely need to save often

Put your snobby liquids into my mouth!
Don't worry, P4 allows to save very often. You can go back to the save point and then continue from the same floor using just a cheap item that's sold at the grocery shop.isamu said:Yeah, Persona 4 is another game I'm thinking about playing via this emu.

like people said, dependent on games. the emulator was built with specifically playing Final Fantsay in mind so FFx, FF12 and such all run good. anyting fastpaced with lots of explosions and full 3D will run slow, so say goodbye to most shooters. anything slow paced like JRPGs, survival horror will run ok.

I would be able to run the emulator at good speed?

Just a heads up... Fantasy Zone Complete Collection? Runs full speed with full sound on my AMD 5200+ dual core 2.7 ghz and Geforce 8800 GT and 4 gb ram.
Mushihime-sama and Ibara seem to run full speed, but with a really annoying audio glitch that repeats every sound effect. So you hear "Aaah, kakate-goy!" the whole time while playing Ibara :lol I could probably fix it if I screwed with settings. Playing with no sound is also an option.
Dodonpachi-daioujou is just about perfect though.

Meh, looks like it (the new "playground" version) doesn't want me to play from my Jak&Daxter disc.
He says something like "can't find ROM1/ROM2/eROM" etc, then launches a black screen and goes on blabering "IsoReadBlock 138837287237828>>9Z8E7Y8UIHAHAjkdjsasqll > 83" (or something) until I quit.

Should Persona 3 be a hard game to run? I've got a 4850 and a Dual Core at around 3ghz, but as soon as the game gets to actual gameplay everything is in slow motion; voices included. Is this something a tweak should fix; I admit I'm ignorant as to what all those speed options do.
