I'm currently trying to play my all time favorite game, Final Fantasy X, on the PCSX2 emulator and I'm constantly running at around 35-40 FPS, about 70-80% of optimal performance.
Does anyone know what sort of settings I should be looking into configuring to optimize game performance?
My specific specs are:
OS: Windows 7
Motherboard: XFX Nforce 680i Sli
CPU: Intel Core2 Quad Q6600
Memory: ~4GB RAM
DirectX Version: DX11
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5800

Getting PS2 emulators to work is largely about finding a good video plugin and bios. Aside from that, Final Fantasies are notoriously picky and often you will need to turn up or down hardware acceleration in your drivers.
You can also try running the emulator using XP Compatibility mode if you still have issues.
I recently got a PC rig capable of entry-level VR, so I assumed I'd be able to play PS2 emulated games easily enough. Boy was I wrong, Shadow of the Colossus (the only game worth playing in my book ;-) ran up to 70-80% performance, and dipped down to 10-50% performance when I looked at high-poly regions, depending on the graphics settings I chose. (On Windows, with PCSX2 1.4, you can see the framerate % in the window titlebar.)
Then I found this Reddit link: https://www.reddit.com/r/PCSX2/comments/3bjpos/is_pcsx2_running_slow_on_your_knowingly_highend/
Pnach Files For Pcsx2 Slow Windows 10
The gist of that advice is: A modern gaming PC is likely having trouble with PS2 emulation because it's overperforming on some calculations (magic?), not underperforming. In many cases one key setting will get your PC's behavior more 'in sync' with what the game needs, and then everything is super smooth. So that would mean you can 1) pick a graphics level default, then 2) uncheck 'preset' and play around with settings one by one until you find a marked improvement.
I was a bit skeptical (I thought I'd tried all the relevant settings anyway) but I gave this a shot, and it worked... and more than worked. In my case, for whatever reason, one setting made all the difference:
Set presets to 3, then uncheck the 'preset' checkbox (allows you to fine-tune)
Under VU settings (something to do with the virtual machine?), change the VU0 setting from 'microVU Recompiler' (default) to 'Interpreter'.
After making this one change, I can now ramp up the graphics and texture settings to near their max, then switch to 4x the native resolution, all with 98%-105% framerate. This also resolved the stuttering / 'metallic' quality to the audio, though again I have no clue why.
Next step: make it work in VR with VorpX...

Pnach Files For Pcsx2 Slow Down
To improve performance in PCSX2 you need more processor power than GPU power.
Also be away the XFX motherboard is a CRAPPY brand.
So, how do I get more processor power, you ask? Buy a faster processor, Core i7 or at least a Core 2 Quad Q8xxx or better yet a Core 2 Quad Q9xxx.

Why? Because the Core 2 Quad Q8xxx and Q9xxx support MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3 and SSE4.1. Q6600 don't support SSE4.1, that extra is going to give you a bit more power to run PS2 games.

Just to inform you, as you may know Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks was playable with PCSX2 with lots of graphic glitches. Finally last week some PCSX2 coders managed to fix the game and is now fully playable in all its glory without the glitches.
I'll try posting some screens tonight, maybe do a video. Also I'm using a widescreen hack (from the PCSX2 forums) made especially for the game, which forces 16:9 ratio with proper rendering, without stretching the image.
Gambid, I'm posting couple of shots from Goro's Lair. I can confirm the missing textures and lighting rays through walls are all fixed. Edit: And here's a clip from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU9aUcwfhk0 (not mine recording)

Hi, where is the wide screen fix? FYI, I am downloading PCSX2 just to play this game I have played this in my friend's house several years ago and now, finally I get to play this again. Very excited
Unfortunately, it has been several months since ze1t has opened his account and so, I didn't get any reply. But I was able to find the fixes/patches myself by searching in the PCSX2 forums. I am posting the links if someone else wants it. Lighting and other game bugs: https://code.google.com/p/pcsx2/source/detail?r=5404 Widescreen fix: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-PCSX2-Wi ... #pid221642 With this, the game works without any flaws. But unfortunately, my system is not powerful enough to run it and so, the game lags very much. I get only 15-20 fps and with some speedhacks/tweaks, it goes up to 25 fps but not more than that. It is not at all playable in even a moderate system and requires a powerful system.
It says extension pnach is not allowed when trying to upload the first file. So, you have to download the widescreen fix yourself. And I am not able to upload the SVN too, for some reason.
Could not upload attachment to ./files/11188_348df36fbf3d8ba53c9603ea13b39ae4.
But the SVNS which come after r5404 all have that fix. So, downloading any of them works. Here are the most recent ones: http://pcsx2.net/download/development/svn.html
It takes a long time and still doesn't get uploaded
