It is a free and open-source project that runs on Windows and Linux. PCSX2 is a PlayStation®2 emulator capable of running commercial games. If something in this guide seems confusing, please feel free to ask for help in the official PCSX2 Discord. Keep in mind that the guide was written for PCSX2 v1.6.0 and v1.7.0 but can still be used for other versions of the emulator.

It will also give some tips on how to use PCSX2 more efficiently. This guide explains how to download, install and properly configure PCSX2 on Windows. 6.4 Emulation Settings (Core configuration).That's it, if you need any more info feel free to ask, I wanna cooperate in fixing this as much as I can. Dynamically toggle Vsync depending on frame rateĮnable manual game fixes ( I tried enabling this with the 'VU Clip Flag Hack' but it didn't fix anything) It either makes the overall performance better or worse, but nothing fixed/alters the random slowdown/drop to 30fps.ĮmotionEngine: Recompiler (enable EE Cashe disabled)

I've tried changing the video plugin settings (GS), changing the renderer from hardware to software, disabling extras that might slow the emulator down a bit. I've noticed the game runs the smoothest on 1.0.0 but the slowdown issues seem to be entirely unrelated as they happen on all 3 versions. I've tried playing with a lot of speedhack options and the manual game fix. It doesn't seem to matter what state the game is in, the slowdowns happen wether I am doing something or not, and it usually takes around 30 seconds before the slowmotion suddenly ends and I can run the game fine on 60 fps again w/o any trouble. Even in-game while standing stationary doing nothing every 20 seconds the emulator slows down back to 30 fps like it's having a hard time. After starting up a new game (after the main menu) the game randomly goes into slowmotion, running at about 30 fps, then after 20-30 seconds of so it restores back to the full 60 fps again like it doesn't have a problem with it at all.
