Sonic Adventure 2 - psysfaction - 11-22-2009
I just tried to emulated Sonic 2 on the newest build and sadly it only run mediocer on default settings. But because i used to love that game on my DC i wanted to see how it would look with Anisotropic Filter (8x) and Antialias (4x)... to my surprise with the enhancements it suddenly run nearly perfectly with 55-60 FPS.... even when i put in on high resolution it runs smooth... but as soon as i disable the enhancements it runs slow again... can somebody explain me this phenomena?

Hi im not sure if it depends if your using opengl or dx plugin but i know that if you have a game image less than the computers default screen the CPU has to upscale which uses cpu power. Maybe thats what happening, though im not 100% sure as I read that from pcsx2 forums.
Games for me run slow if I use native resolution, aa x0 and af x0 as aposed to 2x, aa x16, af x16 they run alot better.
