Raiden DX PSX slowdown?

it290 · Post by **it290** » Sat May 09, 2009 3:56 am

Apologies for the somewhat daft question, but I've recently been playing the PSX version of Raiden DX via emulation (epsxe), and it seems like the game has a fair bit of slowdown, with even the music sounding a bit slower than seems correct. Is this normal? I've played Raiden Project on the same PC and it doesn't slow down at all, so I'm wondering if this is an emulation issue or just a characteristic of the port. I don't have a JP-capable Playstation to check it on, so I have nothing to compare to.

I've emulated it on my PC without any problems. What's your PC's specs?

This particular machine, IIRC, is an athlon xp 2600 with a radeon x800gto. Not blazingly fast, but should be able to handle a 2d playstation game without issue. This is my dedicated vert machine, so I don't do a lot of psx emulation on it, but as I said it handles Raiden Project without issues. I may try it on another (faster) machine, but if anyone who has played both Project and DX could comment on their relative speeds that would be sweet.

Nevermind, tried it with another emu (pSX), and it runs fine. Apparently epsxe just doesn't like this game, which is a shame, because pSX can't run it in low res like epsxe can.

you know you can get this game for fairly cheap and play it on your playstation properly? im sure ive seen it floating around for like £20 or something, worth it to play it on a tate'd tv imo

I'm playing on on a tated RGB monitor, but as I said above, I don't have a PS1 that can play imports. Seems to be running well enough for now, though.

I just got DX and am wondering what the emulator your using to play it to have it run at normal speed?

Thanks in advance

Try one of the following emulators, they greatly support Raiden Project (US and PAL version) and Raiden DX (no slowdown, no gfx glitches) :
- pSX
- SSSPSX
- PCSX rerecording
- PCSX Reloaded

SSSPSX, PCSX rerecording and PCSX Reloaded are plugin-based like ePSXe.

thanks leeloo for the info.

I've always used ePSXe because people say it's the best PSX emulator available that is free.

The slowdown you mention here seems to be normal with ePSXe 1.6.0 and it also happened to me for that's the version I've been using since... ever?

Anyway, today I saw they're going to release version 1.8.0 and I decided to give a try to ePSXe version 1.7.0 just for luck. Well, the slowdown isn't there!! True story: all these years playing the splendid Raiden DX bugged just because I was just too lazy to try a new version from 2008... At last I'm able to play this little jewel on the best (IMHO) PSX emulator out there.

And now I see you made this post back in 2009... err... you know, better late than never?
