* This game is mainly CPU-limited, but already an Intel Core2Duo at 2.0GHz (probably even lower) or similar is able to emulate this game at playable speeds.
* Your graphics card shouldn't be slower than a NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT, though, as this might hurt your fps pretty badly in a few scenes of the game.

|Comments=Try to avoid any combination of '''EE Cyclerate''' and '''VU Cycle Stealing'''.
Most of the time this will lead to false FPS readings and slowdowns instead of more speed.
Running the game as an ISO image directly from your hard drive is also a good idea. If you have Windows Vista or later use the "DirectX10/11 (Hardware)" renderer option in GSdx,
it's usually faster and more compatible than the DirectX9 one. The '''VSync''' option in the settings of "GS Window" settings should be deactivated,
use PCSX2's '''Frame Limiter''' to keep your game from running too fast. Many reaction-based minigames are easier if you use the '''Slow Motion Adjust''' toggle (Shift+Tab),
as the speed of the gameplay will be slowed down by half (or what you have set in the GS tab for the toggle). On the other hand, if your computer is able to run this game at considerably more than 60 FPS, you can fast forward long conversations or your level grinding with either the '''Turbo Adjust''' toggle (Tab)  or by disabling the '''Frame Limiter''' completely (F4).
Recommended to disable '''Allow 8-bit textures''' in GSdx.
Speedhacks/Settings: '''EE Cyclerate (2):''' Noticeable speedup, setting it to 3 causes problems in FMVs. '''INTC Sync Hack:''' Small if any speedup, no issues. '''Idle Loop Fast Forward:''' Noticeable speedup, no issues. '''VU Cycle Stealing:''' Noticeable speedup, but have issues if set higher than 1 (slight). '''MTVU:''' Noticeable speedup in quad(4)core CPUs.

Final Fantasy X is one of the most compatible games for [[PCSX2]]. It's not very picky about the choice of plugins and also doesn't need a high-end PC to run smoothly. There are some known issues with it, but most of them are easy to avoid or very minor.
Try to avoid any combination of '''EE Cyclerate''' and '''VU Cycle Stealing'''. Most of the time this will lead to false FPS readings and slowdowns instead of more speed. Running the game as an ISO image directly from your hard drive is also a good idea. If you have either Windows Vista or Windows 7 use the "[[GSdx#Hardware requirements|DirectX 10/11 (Hardware)]]" renderer option in GSdx, it's usually faster and more compatible than the DirectX 9 one. The '''VSync''' option in the settings of "GS Window" settings should be deactivated, use PCSX2's '''Frame Limiter''' to keep your game from running too fast. Last but not least: try the latest development build of PCSX2 to see if you get better performance.
Many reaction-based minigames are easier if you use the '''Slow Motion Adjust''' toggle (Shift+Tab), as the speed of the gameplay will be slowed down by half (or what you have set in the GS tab for the toggle). On the other hand, if your computer is able to run this game at considerably more than 60 FPS, you can fast forward long conversations or your level grinding with either the '''Turbo Adjust''' toggle (Tab) or by disabling the '''Frame Limiter''' completely (F4).
==Speedhacks/Settings==
* '''EE Cyclerate (2):''' Noticeable speedup, setting it to 3 causes problems in FMVs.
* '''INTC Sync Hack:''' Small if any speedup, no issues.
* '''Idle Loop Fast Forward:''' Noticeable speedup, no issues.

Game description: Enter a fantasy world where humans are on the brink of extinction. In this all-new Final Fantasy RPG, you must stop a powerful force called "Sin" that destroys cities and lives. Along your journey, you will meet Tidus--a star blitzball" player--and Yuna--a young woman with who is skilled in summoning and controlling aeons - powerful spirits of yore. Final Fantasy X is the first Final Fantasy game to feature voiceovers with advanced facial expressions. Travel to uncharted seas and treacherous lands in a quest to save mankind.

? ?
  • Intel Core2 Duo @ 2.00 GHz
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
pre 0.9.7 beta Try to avoid any combination of EE Cyclerate and VU Cycle Stealing.

Most of the time this will lead to false FPS readings and slowdowns instead of more speed. Running the game as an ISO image directly from your hard drive is also a good idea. If you have Windows Vista or later use the "DirectX10/11 (Hardware)" renderer option in GSdx, it's usually faster and more compatible than the DirectX9 one. The VSync option in the settings of "GS Window" settings should be deactivated, use PCSX2's Frame Limiter to keep your game from running too fast. Many reaction-based minigames are easier if you use the Slow Motion Adjust toggle (Shift+Tab), as the speed of the gameplay will be slowed down by half (or what you have set in the GS tab for the toggle). On the other hand, if your computer is able to run this game at considerably more than 60 FPS, you can fast forward long conversations or your level grinding with either the Turbo Adjust toggle (Tab) or by disabling the Frame Limiter completely (F4). Recommended to disable Allow 8-bit textures in GSdx. Speedhacks/Settings: EE Cyclerate (2): Noticeable speedup, setting it to 3 causes problems in FMVs. INTC Sync Hack: Small if any speedup, no issues. Idle Loop Fast Forward: Noticeable speedup, no issues. VU Cycle Stealing: Noticeable speedup, but have issues if set higher than 1 (slight). MTVU: Noticeable speedup in quad(4)core CPUs.

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Reverse controls in some places (will move right to left)
  • Workaround: For the NTSC-U version, go to Config > Emulation Settings > VUs tab, and set Clamping Mode to "Extra + Preserve Sign". For the International version, go to Config > Emulation Settings > EE/IOP tab, and set Clamping Mode to "Full".

Pixelated pause screen

  • Type: Note (not an issue)
  • Description: At higher than native resolutions the pause screen displays a pixelated version(snapshot at original PS2 resolution) of the game under normal gameplay.
