(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I really want to use the PCSX2 Playstation 2 emulator, the only problem is I can't get past 15 fps. I'm using a Toshiba laptop (Satellite L505) with the Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU TS500 @ 2.1 GHz, 3 GB of Ram, and Windows 7 (32-bit). I honestly don't know if it's possible to upgrade the CPU, but if that's the case, I could hypothetically get an old desktop computer and upgrade that. Any thoughts are welcomed, Thanks.

I remember trying it and achieving 30-60fps per game (60 if the frame skipper works properly). I got 60fps on games like crash bandicoot, suffering, psi ops, and jak 3. I got 30 on games like Dragonball z budokai tenkiachi 3 and god of war and some other games I cant remember.

I have a weaker processer than yours (dual core 1.80ghz) and I got 2GB of RAM, also got gt 520 (graphics card).

Should be working better for you, try switching up your settings.

Well, I'm using all the default settings because I honestly don't know what practically anything does. Any recommendations on where to start?

- I tried messing around a little myself. I tried all default presets for the emulator settings. 3 (balanced) seemed to work the best. I tried switching between the sse2, sse4, and ssse3 graphic plugins, ssse3 being the best, but no combination I could come up with would get over 20 fps. Another notable thing is when Configured the renderer to Direct3D10, PCSX2 stopped responding and it gave me this pop-up [ATTACH=CONFIG]16035[/ATTACH]

With the ps3 the ps2 game are laggy so with your pc and your 2 core you never gonna have more than 15fps

I really don't think it'll be the CPU that's letting you down. It's more likely to be the onboard graphics. Not sure though.

do you know if an i5-450M processor and Intel HD Graphics Card with 3GB should be good enough? I tried to run KH 2 on this specs but it was way to laggy

Really not sure man. The CPU is certainly good enough, it's just the graphics that usually lets these down. Onboard graphics is not very powerful for gaming.

Thats what I think, but its a laptop so that means i can not upgrade the graphics

You're probably right. I just looked at the "Windows Experience Index" and the Processor/Ram rating is 5.5 while the graphics and gaming graphics were only 3.3 I too am on a laptop :/
Thanks for the help anyways

How do you get the emulator to work?
It never works for me.
Just got a new PC, might try it again...

Got a 3.6GHZ processor !
