 #''Base Framerate Adjust'': This option will allow you to adjust the base framerate for your games by a percentage. The emulator will limit the game frame rate by the base NTSC (59.94 FPS) or PAL (50 FPS) frame rate increased or decreased according to this value. Again, this option will not speed up the slow game it may only limit the frame rate of a game performing faster than needed on your PC.
 #''Slow Motion Adjust'' and ''Turbo Adjust'': PCSX2 has two additional frame rate modes that you can freely switch to while playing a game. ''Slow Motion'' mode can be switched (on and off) by using ''Shift-Tab'' and ''Turbo'' mode be switched by just using ''Tab'' key.

 #''NTSC Framerate'' and ''PAL Framerate'': These boxes indicate the base frame rate to limit the speed of NTSC or PAL games. The default values are 59.94 FPS and 50 FPS respectively. These values can be changed only by editing the ''pcsx2_vm.ini'' (in ''inis'' folder of PCSX2, see ''FramerateNTSC'' and ''FrameratePAL'' variables in the mentioned file). It is not recommended to change them because it will break a number of games (but still note that decreasing the values can speed up a few games).
-*''Frame Skipping'': The options in this group can be used to control how frame skipping works, a technique which skips drawing some frames of a game to make it feel like it's running smoother when full speed cannot be achieved. As noted in the GUI, this feature can and will cause stuttering, flashing or other abnormal behavior depending on the game. Toggle it ingame by pressing ''Shift + F4''.
+*''Frame Skipping'': Frame skipping is a technique which tells the emulator to refrain from drawing some frames making it possible to increase the perceived game performance when the normal game speed can't be achieved by other means. PS2 internal design (the way GS output and communications are implemented) does not allow for the precise frame skipping. Although this feature may help some slow games to work smoother, it will certainly cause stuttering, flashing or other abnormal behavior in other games, so use it with cation and do not forget to disable it when you're about to switch to another game. Frame skipping can be toggled while in game by pressing ''Shift + F4''.
 #''Disabled'': When selected disables Frame Skipping, recommended if you are getting adequate speed.
 #''Skip when on Turbo only'': When selected, enables Frame Skipping only when Turbo mode is on.
