What are your Computer Specs? CPU and RAM specificly (GPU has little effect on this emulator)

I guess it's not that, actually. I can run other games normally, but this one (and Bloody Roar II) offers some great slowdowns especially during battles. Anyway, just not to leave the question without an answer, I have an Athlon XP 1800+, with 384MB RAM.

I just confirmed with a friends copy. The game seems to uses alot of CPU. while running Metal Gear Solid i get 50% of usage, in this game its 65% and higher. To help rid of Video Slowdown (In windows 2000/XP/2003) open taskmanager and got to the processes tab find the name of the pSX application (psxfin.exe is default). Right click and set the priority to Above Normal (try this first) or High (Set this only if you don't have other CPU intensive applications).

Try running fullscreen, also try switching off "Sleep while idle" if running windowed. That might help a bit (fullscreen is best in general).

Sure, my report was already based on fullscreen gameplay... Anyway, I did what you've suggested, Truth Unknown, but the FPS gain was very subtle - even setting the priority to "High", running just the vital applications on the background. I could rarely get 58 FPS at the menus and the battles kept running at a maximum of 50 FPS (out of 60, of course).

I played SF3 using pSX1.5 and 1.6 with the default settings and I had no problem with slowdowns, maybe you can try turning off vsync

Well, if you could play it with no problems, then the problem is with me (or my machine), not with the emulator. And, unfortunately, your suggestion didn't solve it, astrogordon, but thank you for reading anyway.
