Global Defense Force (EDF 2) PCSX2 Mission 21

It runs at full speed (PAL, 50FPS) without Hypercam running. To enable the extra features in GSdx, go to your PCSX2 folder, "inis", and gsdx.ini and change "allowHacks" from 0 to 1. You may need to copy the INI to your desktop, make the change, and copy it back, as Notepad cannot be defaulted with administrator rights. You NEED to have the Skipdraw hack enabled or else the screen will be filled with black lines. Also, if the internal resolution is a multiple of 2 it will run much faster. For example, if the native resolution of a game is 640x480, it will be faster to set it to 1024x1024 and faster still to set it to 512x512.

Hello! I set up the emulator exactly how you proposed and the game still runs at 25-30 fps most of the time on my 3 ghz q6600, even at 512x512 internal resolution. What CPU and emulator revision were you using? If you have a 4ghz Sandy Bridge it's no wonder it runs 100%.

@TGCG3DS The main menu is slowest, strangely, and it varies level to level. This level is actually very slow compared to others. Anyway, I have an i7 870 that overclocks (by itself) to 3.5GHz (When cool enough, which it always is. Its 2.97 i think normally.) PCSX2 only uses 2 cores, so the other 2 were used by the recording software so its almost the same exact fps I normally get. I use many different revs, i think this might have been the official 0.9.7 or 0.9.8 though it doesnt matter much

Hello, I was trying to do what was instructed in the description but when I looked in the GSdx.ini It did not have any "AllowHacks". The only ones I saw that mentioned hacks was

UserHacks_AlphaHack=0

UserHacks_HalfPixelOffset=0

UserHacks_SkipDraw=0

Would appreciate the help. Thanks.

@DJRodneyTD There should be "allowHacks=1" right below that, but you can just change the ini to this:

UserHacks_AlphaHack=0

UserHacks_HalfPixelOffset=1

UserHacks_SkipDraw=1

I'm not sure if AllowHacks needs to be enabled or if you can just do it through the ini, either way you might be able to add the AllowHacks=1 line to it. What revision are you using?

@retrotails I tried what you said, it made my game run a bit faster, but there's still times where its kinda slow. What do you mean by revision?
