So I got this game.
If i play it on my emulator on my PC, it loads in a second and everything is fine, but the gameplay is laggy. :frusty
But if i play it on my ps2, the sound is messed up, and the loading takes forever, but the gameplay is fine. :frusty
Oh, and it is a great game :)

I suppose the emulator isn't configured correctly, of it isn't the most recent/stable version.
You should ask the people who made the emulator, not us.
Go to their forums (I know there are, since I'm 99% sure which emulator you're using) and ask nicely if they can help you.
Also give you PC specs, the emulator needs a decent PC to work as good as a PS2.
The reason why it loads in a second is because those aren't that heavy operations just like playing ingame movies, they even play on a Pentium 4 if all need be, for the gameplay, you need more processing power.

I hope you get to play the game at a decent fps :D

Thanks, this is the sort of answer I was hoping for.
As for my PC, it is very powerful, so it should have no problem.
The slowdown seems to be related to the sun, If I am riding down the slope, say, the transition between happiness and the green station, I will get 50 FPS, which is what it is locked to.
However, as soon as the sun appears, my framerate drops to a measly 20, and my game starts to run at half speed.
BTW, yes, I use pcsxe, and I just can't find a configuration guide for SSX 3
And I do realize why it loads quicker, but thanks anyway.

Thanks again for your...informative post.

Well you won't find a guid for a specific game (mostly not), just follow the guide on their forums, and btw, don't you mean: pcsx2?

Yes, I do mean pcsx2.

I run SSX3 at 60fps and a ridiculous resolution (2048x1536 I think) on PCSX2. And my bet is my PC is weaker than yours at least in terms of GPU (i7 920 CPU @ 2.8 and a GeForce GTX285). I see no reason for it to not work better in yours unless something's wrongly configured.

What's the deal with the game not working properly on your PS2? Does this happen with more games?
