I am trying to run SSX on Tour (.ISO) on PCSX2 1.4.0 - at first I had these red lines, but I changed my video settings to OpenGL and aggressive hack level, so that fixed that problem. I now have another problem - the game is running at 30fps, it sometimes reaches to 60fps, but only whilst I'm on the main menu.
Re: pcsx2-0.9.8 Games run slow. I posted in this thread cuz we have similar problem hi all, i just downloaded tekken5 (my first game) and it runs very slow ( on PCSX2 0.9.8 ), its like slow motion. In the menu FPS is ok about 30-40 but when the fight starts it goes down to 10-15 FPS. So I've downloaded PCSX2 both version 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 and tried every single configuration I could find on YouTube and Google, but I just cant get it to run on 60FPS on my PC:/ I tried both Sly 2 and 3, and I even found a video on YouTube where he showed his configuration and then running Sly 2 on 60FPS and I think his specs were worse than mine:S. That's just a sign of your CPU not making the cut for this game. Some games are just more demanding than others. I had this issue with several games when I was still using my dual core processor( that had a better single thread rate than your Q9400). The native resolution varies from game to game (many run at less than 640x480, the PS2's ideal res) so you'll get a different resolution with the same multiplier from game to game, but 4x almost always ends up larger than 1080p. For FF12, 4x will render the game at 2048x1792.

- How do I optimize PCSX2's performance? 3 answers
I've been wanting to play some old games using PCSX2 (PS2 Emulator) but every time I load the games up, I get massive frame drops. I get around 13 frames in game, but cut scenes I get full frames (30-60).
The games I'm testing are Area 51 and Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty
I've researched and tested a few things but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what could cause this?
My specs for my computer are:
- AMD Athlon 7850 Dual-Core Processor (2.8 GHz)
- ATI Radeon HD 4650
- 4 GB DDR2 RAM

While your video card is older, I know I was able to run PCSX2 on a similar generation Nvidia card 5 years ago. It's not time to give up hope yet.
1) IIRC, PCSX2 comes with 2 binaries that look roughly identical. Try both to see if one works better than the other. I had significant problems with one, but the other worked smoothly on my old setup.
2) Emulation is notoriously finicky, and one configuration tweak might save you. Go through the configuration guide and see if you can adjust your settings to match your slightly outdated hardware.

Make sure you're running in Hardware Direct X mode. This is in the graphics plugin settings somewhere. I was getting 10~ FPS in Dark Cloud 2 in software mode at naitive res, now I get solid 60 in 1080p. There are various graphics settings to mess with and it all depends on your hardware, the game and how it interacts with those settings, but Software DX seemed to be on by default and it's a surefire way to ruin performance in 3D games.

You might use an overclocking tool like MSI Afterburner, it's really easy to use and very effective.
