PCSX2 configuration?

[Cream Soda]

Trying to play some ps2 games on the PC and game is pretty much running in slow motion (even on the lowest settings)

Running an i7
gtx 675m
64 bit windows, etc.

Anyone know how to fix this?

make sure the emulator is forced to use the video card and not the intel onboard CPU
most laptops have a system called Optimus which makes them switch back and forth depending on real video usage vs youtube

It's being run off the video card (First thing I made it do rly)

and game is an iso being run off the SSD

Have also tried 1.10, 1.21, and 1.30 versions of the emulator. Same issue with all 3

Try changing the preset to 3 or 4 if you haven't already.

Preset? how do you do that?

and if it matters at all

Host Machine Init:
	Operating System =  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
	Physical RAM     =  8088 MB
	CPU name         =  Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
	Vendor/Model     =  GenuineIntel (stepping 09)
	CPU speed        =  2.293 ghz (8 logical threads)
	x86PType         =  Standard OEM
	x86Flags         =  bfebfbff 7fbae3bf
	x86EFlags        =  28100000

Plays psp emulator just fine (well the audio is choppy but the games themselves work )

It's a slider along the bottom of the setup gui.

The higher you turn it up, the faster the game should run, but you risk encountering more problems in game. generally up to 3 or 4 is fine on a lot of games.

Preset 4 seems to be going smoothly, thanks

[chiyio]

No problem, it makes a pretty huge difference on most games.

I'm assuming Dynasty Warriors isn't going to work at all?

[hey]

There's gonna be a ton of games that won't work at a decent speed with that cpu no matter what you do.

[chiyio]

Ya, that CPU is pretty low powered for PCSX2. It likes 4ghz+ really to run well.
