Performance problems

[LunaMoo]

You keep repeating it's fps problem not a speed thing, but never specify what you mean by that?

Did you actually activated FPS counter(on the bottom of the graphics settings) setting it to "Both" and saw decreased FPS for example 30/60 with 100% speed or what?
Because such thing would mean you're using frameskipping as that's exactly what this feature does and you want it on if your gpu is not powerful enough to render everything.

There are also some dangerous/game breaking settings like:
- multithreading,
- timer hack,
- emulated psp cpu clock set to anything else than 0(which is auto/let's the game decide),
~ probably some more ini-only ones.

Which all can cause many problems including incorrect fps in which case fps would display for example 24/24 or some other weird value basically making affected games skip frames internally and unless you restore default settings or remove your ppsspp ini they will be kept between versions.



If you didn't checked fps counter you might think it's running at full speed while it doesn't. ~ Which is easy to imagine since while it's popular "internet truth", it's actually total BS and 2D games aren't "easier to run" from 3D ones, in fact FFIV is graphically way more demanding than most prettier "AAA" games, not only modern hardware is optimized for 3D graphics and handles it much easier, that particular game also runs at 60fps natively and your integrated intel graphics while fairy modern and reasonably fast still has many limitations most notably lack of dedicated fast vram that make it suck at rendering games, even more when it comes to emulation.
