All my games run flawlessly on pSX, even at the highest resolutions and everything turned on.

- Processor: Intel Celeron CPU 1.00GHz - RAM: 512 MB PC133 SDRAM - Video: ATI Radeon 9250 PCI (256 MB) - Sound: Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1 (24-bit) - OS: Windows XP Pro - SP2 - Input Device: MP-8866 Dual USB Joypad - Connects my *other* standard white PSone Dual-Analog controller
All my games run flawlessly, except the occasional lag on an FMV...

I sort-of figured people would wonder at that . This newer computer I only got recently, so it has all original parts (except for the sound card... it has an integrated sound card that is very good, but the computer one day decided not to acknowledge its existance anymore, and I don't know how to work with integrated cards, so I had to put in my old SB16 PCI card). And I like being able to play games like Morrowind and Fable on both machines, since my roommate also likes those games and we often play at the same time. So putting all the better parts in this newer machine would leave the older one unable to play hardly anything. The older one has an 8 MB integrated video card, so even playing Final Fantasy 7 (PC version), is rough using that integrated piece of crap.

I now present my two PCs: First, meet Phoebe: (Yeah, she is a girl, ok??) - Processor: AMD Durom 1.1GHz - RAM: 256 MB DDR - Video: N-Vidia GeForce MX 440 with 64 MB - Sound: some crappy On-Board sound chip, using the AC97 tecnology - OS: Windows XP Pro - SP1 (I don't like SP2) and Windows 98 SE -CD drive: LG 52x cd-reader -HD: Samsung 40 GB 7200 RPM Ok, she is a bit old, and the worst part is that she is getting weaker at each passing moment. Sometimes, it refuses to turn on. Also, sometimes it only reconizes 65 MB ram, making Windows XP very slow. But she isn't dead yet!! pSX runs ok with her. Its faster on Windows 98, and I don't even need to turn frameskip on. But I have to turn V-Sync off, or else the FPS drops like crazy. On Windows XP I need to turn frameskip on in some games. Now my second PC (and the one that I'm using). Meet Sarah! (PS: don't mind the cat) - Processor: AMD Athlom 64 3.0GHz - RAM: 512 MB DDR2 - Video: N-Vidia GeForce FX 5200 128 bits with 256 MB - Sound: Board sound chip, using the AC97 tecnology (yeah, the same as the above) - OS: Windows XP Pro - SP1 -CD drive: LG DVD Recorder -HD: Samsung 80 GB 7200 RPM This one is quite good. It may be outdated, but I can play anything that I want. The video card isn't that great, but it can play FarCry at full speed and with great graphics. pSX runs fantastic with her. With vsync on and 1024x768 resolution, and with frameskip off, every game runs at full speed.

( psicomaniaco: heh, me amarrei no(a) gato(a)! Qual a raça dele(a)?) My system: - CPU: Athlon XP 1800+ - RAM: 384MB - GPU: onboard SiS740 video card, 64MB VRAM (¬¬) - SPU: some onboard sound card, supporting AC97 - OS: Windows XP SP1 I only had two problems concerning speed: Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Bloody Roar II. I even thought it was some kind of compatibility issue (it seems I've understimated pSX capabilities, huh...), once I only get ~35FPS during battles on Bloody Roar II, but now I don't think so anymore. Truth Unknown told me to check the Task Manager while running these two games, and I indeed noticed pSX was using almost 100% of my CPU, with just the vital applications running on the background. psicomaniaco himself has reported he could play through SFA 3 with no slowndowns, so that kind of solve the mystery - it's probably my machine. Other than that, I'm able to run the rest of my games at full speed (VSync enabled/disabled; frameskipping on/off - it doesn't matter).

Here's your problem: you have an on-board video card. Even though in pSX it doesn't make much difference if the video card is good or bad, the problem with on-board video cards is that they don't have their own video processor. This means that your main processor has to do all the job: has to act as a CPU, as a video card and as a sound card. This is too much for it. SFA3 and BR2 has good graphics for a PSX AND also have XA audio. This is just too much work for your processor. I'm sure this is it, because a friend of mine has an Athlom XP 1800, but with a GeForce FX card, and SFA3 work at full speed on his rig.

Raça?? Ja ouviu uma raça chamada "Rasga-sacola"? É parente da Vira-lata! Meh, ela é uma gata de rua, mas pra mim naum faz diferença naum. Ela jah tem 5 anos comigo. (Hmm... Esses são os melhores! Já tive onze deles simultaneamente... Not an easy task, so they had to go...) Yeah, I never had much doubt about being my video card the responsible for that (and for a series of non-working PC games), since I've seen pSX running on a inferior processor (Athlon 1500GHz) with less RAM (320MB) at full speed, while emulating Driver 2 (I sometimes have a slowdown while on the menus, here) - this other PC had a GeForce with 64MB VRAM.

seems to work fine on this secret magic box of trickery and illusion. the rest you do not need to know EXCEPT it has a 4 way psx/2 controller usb addon and using a charcoal partially transparent dualshock controller for ps1, and an original ps1 dualshock with the 2 analogue modes with concave thumbsticks! K amd64 3800, audigy 2 zs, 1gb ram, other stuff not necessary

And why is no other information necessary?
