Performance worsened in the last few weeks, games that ran at full speed now are unplayable due to sttuter.

First, I know that my computer is no gamer PC at all, but the games I play, I can play fullspeed with PCSX2 at 1980 resolution. I mention this, because people with more powerful machines might not notice any change, but it's very noticeable on my system.

I was happy to know the ps2 core in RA was updated and after trying it out, I made the change to it about 2 months ago.

All my games worked at fullspeed, using native ps2 resolution plus a lightweight shader preset on top. Could even fast forward, which I used to test how good a game ran. However, a few days ago I launched it to find games stuttering, GTA liberty City Stories ran fullspeed all the time, for example, now stutters during regular gameplay.

Tried changing video drivers and testing a clean RA setup to no avail.

Is there a way to get a previous core version, from a month or so ago to test it out?

we don't keep old copies of cores around beyond the bundles we make with the stable releases, so someone would have to build it for you.
