How do you speed up pcsx2?

Answer 1

when you start up, you have to go to configure, and then go to configure again, I am running windows XP home edition 2003. I turned the sound off, and then enabled monotone sound. This caused pcsx2 to be compatible with my system, and actually run. I also installed in the plugins folder, my basic driver that was for my display from windows. Then it ran smooth, and has ever since. If you want even more speed then you need to turn on Asycronous read, for your CDVD drive, and enable the VUI checkbox. if you have any more questions email me at brandon.stevens4@Yahoo.com

hope this helps, and I am still trouble shooting more .dll files and drivers to get super speed out of this thing, so maybe one day I can beat FFX in less than one day.

Answer 2

First of all, you want the game to run faster, not the emulator. To do this, you manipulate the settings in the configure dialog box. Each game has their own settings and preffered speedhacks. Experiment wit it. If you want to make pcsx2 portable, put directx files in pcsx2 folder.

Answer 3

Right click on "My Computer" and select "properties".

If your processor is anything less than 3gHz, there is absolutely nothing you can do about the lag, your computer simply isn't powerful enough to process that much info at once.

The more powerful your computer's "thinking power", the better it can process games.

Answer 4

To speed up PCSX2, you can try the following:

1. Use the latest version of PCSX2 as newer versions often have performance improvements.
2. Adjust the emulation settings based on your PC specs to find the best balance between speed and graphics quality.
3. Ensure that your PC meets the minimum system requirements for running PCSX2 efficiently.

Answer 5

* Faster CPU and/or graphics card(2.5GHz min.) * use multi-thread feature (only on dual core CPU) * a different game with less 3D models :P
