    Im playing kh2 and getting like 40 fps in the beginning intro, then in gamplay it slows to about 25-30 fps.

    here's my cpu: [​IMG]

    Ya i know it's slow so i need to change some settings on the emulator. However, I've clicked almost everything and have noticed no reasonable difference in speed. I know I probably didnt give as much info as you guys would have liked, but i am more then willing to add more. Thanks for any help.

    Even if you change some settings in the Emulator you will most likely see little to no gains.

    OCing it is the sure way to get more FPS BUT you have a laptop soo I cant really ask you to do that.

    Better luck next time or build a gaming PC even a Athlon II x2 240 will give you BETTER results.

    Are you using the beta build? The beta build is somewhat faster, and I used it to get 60 fps on FFX while on the normal build I got like 30 fps. It probably won't work for every game, but it never hurts to try.

    Looking at that CPU-z scfreenshot it looks as if you are in power saver mode in the windows power profiles because your CPU is clocked at 800mhz. Make sure its in high performance when you play the game for higher performance. I think oyull struggle to get more performance out of that cpu though. With a desktop i5 650 i struggle to get gran turismo 4 running smoothly in pcsx2

    Try increasing VU cycle stealing. It is also pointless clicking everything unless you know vaguely what they do since changing the wrong setting can reduce performance or increase glitches.

    He probably was just idle when he took that screenshot. @ 800mhz he would probably be in single digit fps even at the title screen :D

    True, it was normally 1600 that day, but it was also up to 2000 at times. I switched to high performance but i did not get a difference. As for which filed i'm in, i think it's beta but im not 100% sure, i'll check
    Anyways, I have all the speedhacks on, i tried disabling some, but saw no difference.
