Baz_Rock Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi there, For some reason when i go into launchbox, and every emulator i go through (even dolphin) and play them in big box mode, they run at exactly the same speed as if you would launch them in your normal windows desktop folder. But for some reason with the launching of playstation 2 games in big box it slows ALL games down. Does anyone know why this is please?

DivinityCycle Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Does the same thing happen if you launch a PS2 game from LaunchBox (not in BigBox mode)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Or more to the point, is it slow if you just use pcsx2 by itself? Sorry @DivinityCycle didn't mean to undermine, just curious.

DivinityCycle Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 No worries, my question was mostly the least-worst "shot in the dark" thing I could think of to look at in trying to isolate the issue to something specific. I'm guessing @Baz_Rock probably is getting "full speed" outside of BB, but you're correct that it's not specified in that post, so actually is something worth establishing. PS2 emulation is actually very demanding, and even my "big fancy gaming rig" can have issues with it depending on the game and stuff I'm trying to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz_Rock Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 I triedI using pcsx2 on it's own outside of bigbox and it runs normally. I run 3200x1800 background images for each game in bigbox for use on my 4k screen, and I thought to myself that maybe it is worth creating the same image for a ps2 game in bigbox but with much lower resolution, so I tried that and that didn't make a difference in slowdown when running pcsx2. So it is just bigbox causing pcsx2 to run slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 @Baz_Rock I'm sorry but I'm confused, are you trying to run ps2 games at 4k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz_Rock Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 No i thought the bigbox with the 3200x1800 image running in the background might cause pcsx2 to slowdown but it hasn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 You are right, a bigbox or launchbox image will have no impact on your emulator, so I would look at task manager when you launch. What's using more ram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
