Try to avoid any combination of '''EE Sync Hack''' and '''VU Cycle Stealing''', most often it will lead to false fps readings and slowdowns instead of more speed. [[MicroVU]] can be faster in some game areas, so try it if you get low fps somewhere. Running the game as an ISO image directly from your hdd is also a good idea. If you have either Windows Vista or Windows7 use the "[[GSDX#Hardware requirements|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 [[GSDX]] should be deactivated, use the '''Frame Limiter''' of PCSX2 to keep your game from running too fast. And last but not least: try the latest public beta of PCSX2 for more speed.

Many reaction-based minigames are easier, if you set your '''Custom FPS Limit''' to a value of 30 or even lower, as the speed of the gameplay will be slowed down by that. On the other hand you can fast forward long conversations or your level grinding by disabling the '''FPS Limit''' completely, if your computer is able to run this game at considerably more than 60 FPS.
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 you can fast forward long conversations or your level grinding by disabling the '''FPS Limit''' completely, if your computer is able to run this game at considerably more than 60 FPS with either the '''Turbo Adjust''' toggle (Tab) or disabling '''Frame Limiter''' completely (F4).

Game description: Final Fantasy X, the tenth installment of the Final Fantasy series, 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 fluently. There are some known issues with it though, but most of them are easy to avoid or very minor.

Test configuration on Windows:

PCSX2 version: 0.9.9 r4878
Graphics by GSDX: r4873
Sound by SPU2-X: 2.0
Pad plugin is LilyPad: 0.10.0
BIOS version: any

Comments:

  • See issues section below
  • EE CycleRate (2): noticeable speedup, setting it to 3 causes problems in FMVs
  • INTC Sync Hack: small if any speedup, no issues
  • IOP x2 Cycle Rate: small if any speedup, no issues not available in PCSX2 0.9.8+
  • 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 quads, depends on scene in dual cores

Try to avoid any combination of EE CycleRate and VU Cycle Stealing, most often it will lead to false fps readings and slowdowns instead of more speed. MicroVU can be faster in some game areas, so try it if you get low fps somewhere. Running the game as an ISO image directly from your hdd is also a good idea. If you have either Windows Vista or Windows7 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 GSDX "GS window" settings should be deactivated, use the Frame Limiter of PCSX2 to keep your game from running too fast. And last but not least: try the latest public beta of PCSX2 for more speed.

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 you can fast forward long conversations or your level grinding by disabling the FPS Limit completely, if your computer is able to run this game at considerably more than 60 FPS with either the Turbo Adjust toggle (Tab) or disabling Frame Limiter completely (F4).


Test configuration on Linux:

PCSX2 version: untested
Graphics by ZZogl: untested
Sound by SPU2-X: untested


PC specs used to test the game:

CPU: Intel E2200 @ 2.2ghz, AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3GHz
GPU: Nvidia 8600GT 512

Comments:

  • 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.
  • Recommended to disable Allow 8-bit textures in GSdx.


Known Issues

  • Affected Game Versions: All
  • Description: During fire based magic casts or gravity attacks like Demi there's a big slowdown and EE/GS/VU% usage don't get high.
  • Solution: Reduce the internal resolution. Also disable Allow 8-bit Textures.
  • Comment: It occurs only if your video card is not fast enough.


Mi'ihen Highroad FPS

  • Type: Slowdown
  • Affected Game Versions: All
  • Description: Although the rest of the game runs fine, Mi'ihen Highroad slows down significantly.

  • Type: Slowdown
  • Affected Game Versions: All
  • Description: Although the rest of the game runs fine, the menu slows down significantly.

  • Type: Minor
  • Affected Game Versions: All
  • Description: Small black lines and dots visible at the edges and corners of texts and images.
  • Solution: Unavoidable side effect of using a custom Internal Resolution and/or Texture Filtering. Either set GSDX to Native or disable Texture Filtering (see GSDX page).


Fixed Issues

Missing Geometry

  • Type: GFX Glitches
  • Affected Game Versions: All
  • Description: Huge amount of missing polygons with ZeroGS/ZZOgl.
  • Solution: Activate the FFX-Hack in the settings of the GS-Plugins (only for older versions of this plugins, newer versions have it activated by default).


Auron Look!

  • Type: Crash
  • Affected Game Versions: Unknown
