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).
