You will also need to adjust the system settings on your PC and on PCSX2 to make the emulator run faster.
To get the best gameplay, it’s advisable to get a powerful laptop or to upgrade your system to meet the recommended specifications to run an emulator. Especially if your laptop has low specs, the emulator will be sluggish if it has to compete with other tasks, like debugging. Without a mid to high-end laptop, you will only strain your system and PCSX2 will be unusable.Īnother reason why PCSX2 runs slow is because there may be too many background programs running. Laptops with low memory will also have problems with performance.
If your laptop has a slow processor, an outdated graphics card, or these will result in slow speeds and lagging. After all, the PCSX2 website describes the program as hardware intensive, so it will be best to learn the minimum system requirements. If your connection is working fine, then your problem is with device compatibility.Ĭonsole emulators can be demanding on your laptop, especially if your device doesn’t meet the minimum requirements to run emulators in the first place.

For the sake of time I won't go there though. Ico*, Shadow of the Colossus*, Persona 3-4, Devil Summoner(Pretty much all Shin Megami games for that matter.), Timesplitters, FF series*, Indigo Prophecy*, MGS*, Okami*, Valkyrie Profile, Mark of Kri, God of War*, King’s Field, and many, many mores. Unfortunately, only some of them have been ported to more recent consoles, and even few - if any to PC. Because most of the best games ever created were made on the PS2 and can't be found others.
