Large Framebuffer Only prevents FMV flickering, not useful and can cause slowdown.

So before you go mocking up the devs and claiming PCSX2 is bad and slow, you should thank those people for letting us relive the great titles we play today on our PCs for free, they are really doing their best and no one can deny their hard work.

A CPU with passmark single thread score of 1600 or more is a standard minimum for the emulator, you cant go lower without performance issues.

If you are a notebook user, I BEG YOU CHECK YOU ARE NOT RUNNING ON BATTERYPOWERSAVE before blaming the emulator.

If you are on Windows, its better to have your roms and the PCSX2 directory in the same partition, its preferable but not required.

Dont use presets, one of the skills that you will learn from emulation is How to be A Tinkerer, always have the mindset of toying around with the emulator, and dont fear to test and try, it wont kill your PC really.

Kingdom Hearts 1 Pcsx2 Cheats Software That You

The only software that you should use its stable version is your OS, but emulators progress rapidly that it is not recommended to use an old version of them in favour of fake stability, always get the latest dev.

Consider PCSX2 for exclusivesgood portsbest versions ONLY, anything else you should go for the PCGCWii version if its good or easier to emulate in Dolphin, Sonic Heroes and TJ War of the Whiskers are good examples.

PAD Controller Plugin Choose LilyPAD if you are on Windows, OnePAD 1.3.0 if you are on Linux, OnePAD 2.0 doesnt let me change controls so I wont recommend it.

BIOS Choose USA as most of the roms you would play will be NTSC (60 FPS).

NTSCPAL Framerate You can specify the normal FPS of games depending on the region, like forcing PAL games to run on 60 FPS but it can cause lip-sync or music issues so take care with that.

Kingdom Hearts 1 Pcsx2 Cheats Full Speed Like

EE Cycle Skipping This hack will make the EE intentionally skip emulation cycles, it helps games that were GPU-intensive like Shadow of the Colossus or games that runs in slow motion if not full speed like GTA SA, increasing it can help these games to run faster but can harm other games and run slower, also the constant skipping can decrease accuracy (Graphic glitches) and outputs false FPS readings most of the time, another game dependent option.

INTC mVU WLD Recommended to use and have no negative effects.

MTVU Mostly positive especially if you have a quad core CPU, can slightly decrease FPS in some titles like Shadow of the Colossus and Sly trilogy but mostly helpful for many games.

Software uses the CPU to render, only works at native resolution, less graphic options and slower than HW, its strong point is the accurate rendering.

Renderer API Windows users with AMDintel should use D3D11, Nvidia users have the option to use OpenGL or D3D11.

Linux users are unified under OpenGL, still theres Vulkan on the way coming according to one of the devs so its getting better nonetheless.

For curiousity, B ottom T op F ield F irst is the meaning of bff and tff.

Texture Filtering Its recommended to use the bilinear PS2 mode, less buggy simply (I remember the forced option caused a pixelated effect on light sources for me in Kingdom Hearts).

Enable HW Hacks These are HW-specific hacks and are only used to fix certain glitches, dont enable it without reading the wiki page of the game.

A hack worth a try is the Wild Arms hack which increases the sharpness of interlaced images greatly in some games (Works in GTA SA).

Allow 8 bit textures Mostly negative effect on FPS, doesnt affect visual quality and can hinder performance like in Sly trilogy and WWE games, the only positive one affected for me was Kingdom Hearts II, it mainly tries to direct the 8-bit textures in games to GPU without passing them to the CPU to be converted to 32-bit (Which most games dont have much of them).
