!!!What to do when games run too fast!!!

[Raven800]

Ok, I'm about to get VERY technical here, so if i loose anyone, let me know and I'll try to dumb it down a bit.

First I'll state the issue:
when trying to run "Einhander" on epsxe the sound, video, and game ran extremely faster than usual. This was very odd because before the emulator would play the game just fine.

Second I'm going to state my observeation:
the problem didn't seem to occur until after i updated my graphics card. Before this, the Emulator was running as smooth as silk.
As far as correcting this problem, I've taken into consideration that the problem may be relevant to the "frames per second" issue everyone seems to be encountering, so I've tinkered with the Frame rate controls and found that my theory was correct. unfortunately, when I lower my frame rate to about 50-60, the emulator starts to get rather choppy and broken. When razed to about 65-70 it would appear as though the emulator can't make up it's mind weather or not to run smoothly or accelerate to 80-90 for a split second.

Ok now I'm going to lay out my computer specs:
Manufacturer: Dell Computer Corporation
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
Memory: 1278MB RAM
Hard Drive: 119 GB
Video Card: Radeon X1300/X1550 Series
Monitor: Dell E176FP
Sound Card: SoundMAX Digital Audio
Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236)

Simply put, I just want to know is what settings and/or configuration are needed to make the emulator run smoothly again.

Well after further investigation I think I can honestly state that I feel like an IDIOT. The resolution was actually very simple and I think I'll just go ahead and state what they are so that i can save any troubleshooting staff/technicians time and patience in trying to figure it out.

Resolution:
While running epsxe, to ensure you receive the best performance passable with ANY video or sound configuration you must insure that you deactivate/turn of/close out any and programs that drain most of your Virtual Memory (RAM). Most of these programs can consist of messenger programs such as MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger, AIM, X-fire, etc, as well as any web browsers you may have opened. If you still have problems with the choppy game play you may want to configure the epsxe video driver and set it to automatically detect the best FPS/Frame Rate. This should also fix the "accelerated" FPS/Frame Rate problem everyone might be having. If not then you might need to manually set the FPS/Frame rate level to what ever might be suitable.

i went to video options in epsxe 1.6 config video then clicked the nice button at bottom of the screen

i foumd presing the NICE button on the graphics page in video fixed my problem like that

epsxe is just that good of an emulator for a newbye(my first atempts at emulation years ago)you still can make it through without help(i had no internetz back then)

What do I do if my PCSX2 is running way way to slow and cracks with sounds.

[fedraljack]

I heard about this problem. When PB released Gothic 3 they warned about such bug.
This is because of Dual Core CPU which works faster than usual one. And they took care about it releasing the patch. What about your case unfortunately I don't know what to do, but the problem is too fast CPU.

[thuxmeister]

what kind of pc are you using... fast game indicates that your settings does not agree with your PC. It means that you Pc is faster than the default set up.
Try to increas the graphics set up the emulator. . .

I just downloaded MGS 1 and seems to be sort of nudging, twitching all the time. The graphics aren't in time with audio at all. And it seems also that you cannot start any game at all, no VR Training or the actual mission.

I run Pete's Open GL2 Driver 2.9
Audio P.E.Op.S DSouns Audio Driver 1.9

My specs are:
AMD Phenom(tm) 8650 Triple-Core Processor
8,00 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4650
64-bit

I've previously played FFVII, with these setups and has worked with no complaints.
