try other games, or try enabling/disabling some of the various game hacks.
google can be helpful when you search for 'gamename ZeroGS'

That was Tales of the Abyss, so I know it should work... What settings did you use for it?

crazy, I just started playing this game ( on windows partition).. It works amazingly on the windows side, on the mac side however, it's not even comparable. I have less graphical errors than you do just with the default settings devilhunter setup for us! However, I still have graphical errors , and I haven't tried to play beyond the loading screen because the flickering movie is so obnoxious! If I gather up the patience i'll let you know..

robotriot,  I assumed that it was a problem with my graphics card, but since you have a way better card than mine (GMA X3100 is mine) and are having a similar problem than it must be an issue with configuration. I had pcsx2 running on my windows partition a while back, and games run pretty well so I know that my computer is at least capable of running games slowly.

Awesome, wonder how this compares to the X11 build of PCSX2.

[devilhunter]

X11 build is much faster, but currently more incompatible with games.
(See the discussion between hansi and me on the first page. )

NIS games run amazingly well on this.
Does anyone know how well Dance Dance Revolution and Pop N Music work?

Yes, the Disgaea Games can be emulated nearly perfectly, but 3D Games have slow frames.
But I'm having trouble getting the Ar Tonelico and Atelier Games to run (argh, i need Ar Tonelico 1 & 2 on this....  :P )

Can I successfully run this on a GMA X3100 Card? 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

It's the black MacBook (not the pro).

it doesn't run any games on my gmax3100. Let me know if you get the same issue as in my screenshot in my earlier post.

There are a few specific Final Fantasy X hacks you need to enable in order to advance. Don't ask me which ones (bec i don't know lol), you'll get more info in the PCSX2 forums or a quick google search.

I wasn't kiddin' when i said the minimal requirements were a 8600GT and a 2.5+ GHz CPU...  :D

Just did a quick test of WIn vs CrossOver vs MacX11 versions in FFXII with all possible speedup tricks I could find. All versions running in 800x600 with zeroGS plugin and did the same 15 minute playthrough in each:

Win: 40-60FPS
CX: 20-30FPS
MacX11: 30-40FPS

All a bit glitchy and MacX11 has random segmentation faults which can cause crashes. Also it's based on a svn build between 0.95 and 0.96 so it's not a stable build.

Oh yeah and this is on a 2.6Ghz MBP with 8600 w/256MB VRAM.

Windows with the DX plugin runs a stable 55-60FPS with all speed tweeks that don't brake gameplay at 1280x800 on machine if anyone cares.

Oh and if anyone needs a gamepad to play some 2D games with zeroPS2 (which should work fine), this pad is working great for me: http://ibrain.com.ua/redirect.php?http: ... gaming.php (top one)

thanks a bunch, I wouldn't mind hitting up some ffx. I am running the most recent of snow leopard and neither this nor the wii emulator will start up.

It's because of incompatibility against X11. You'd need to downgrade X11 or use Crossover 8

thanks for the reply hansi how do I downgrade my x11, also on a side note i have crossover 8 installed.

Actually, try installing this instead:
