I love Dragon Ball Z manga and anime. So having DBZ BT 3 running on my PC is a dream come true. As far as I know there is no Dragon Ball game for PC, right?Here’s PCSX2 best configuration (at least for now) for playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (DBZ BT 3):
- PCSX2 0.9.4, the latter beta versions PCSX2 0.9.5 flicks on opening movie and no faster,
- Graphic Plugin : GSdx 0.1.4, the latter versions make the background flicker and gives you headache, trust me I’ve tried. See the picture for configuration.
- Sound Plugin, there are two choices:
- ZeroSPU 0.4.6 – robotic voices, but better timing. Use the default configuration.
- GigaHerz SPU2 (Public Beta) 1.9.0 – better voices with echo effect, click the picture below to see its configuration.
-
With this setting, DBZ BT 3 runs in full (or more) fps on movies and menus. On fighting part it runs 15-20 fps, hey that’s good enough, I think the original fps is 30fps (update: it’s 60 fps, thanks Vedant for pointing it out).
Super Saiyan 3 Goku
Note :
- Since no PC built equal, your FPS may vary.

winxp e4300 7300le 2g ram

thanks for your info,really appreciate it. so people with same specs as yours could use this valuable info.

HI!!! firstly i want to say that the original speed of the game is not 30 fps but it is 60fps.
Secondly, see my PC configuration:
windows XP sp2, 512mb ram, 128 mb graphic card of intel, 2.20Ghz.
sounds a little low to run ps2 games? Well it's not.
With the configuration settings you have provided, my game (in the actual battle) is running around 35-45 fps!
on the menus, the speed is more than 100 fps!!!
I JUST WANNA REALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT!
AND I APPRECIATE IT!

Thank you... very usefull information. Also for those who get error messages in Windows 7 (like i had) get the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)here:
http://pcsx2.dyndns.org/vc10/vcredist_x86.exe
and update your DirectX (dxwebsetup) here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
then do all the configuration shown in the picture. It WILL work fine in Win7.

Allright If you all need the bios, here's how to get it:
Download frostwire from frostwire.com(its free)
and in the search option, type :- PS2 bios. Hit enter. After sometime(or less, depending on your net speed), bios files will come up and you havta download "SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12-PAL_200"
If you are running a NTSC game, just download "SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12-NTSC_200". Thats it.
Plugins, you could try this site :http://forums.ngemu.com/ps2-plugin-questions-plugin-troubleshooting/97657-gsdx.html

this game does not work in windows 7 x64...it loads up...and you can play it but only if you want to do pushups or eat a million meals and pull more swords out of a stone then king arthur
in fact WINDOWS 7 X64 SUCKS!!!!
it won't play gamecube
it won't play any game...hardly at all that is!!!
when i try to boot any ps2 game or gamecube it loads until loading screen and runs at 60fps and seems fine but does not go any further...
i have tried all troubleshooting but could not get any help...
all anyone ever told me was that i needed to convert from pal to ntsc and that i had a dark screen that was flickering...i did not!
i had vegeta doing 1000 pushups.. at 60fps ... i changed to directx 9c and got 125 fps of vegeta doing pushups
i troubleshot dif plugisn, and dif versions of pcsx2...the game does not want to boot past loading screen..
at first i thought it was cuz game was a dud game...cuz some files apparently missing in info log..
but then dmc 1, dmc 2, final fantasy x, and metroid prime and re remake 2 for gamecube do same thing..
what is wrong..
i have core i5 2.25 ghz ht duo
2 gb video card geforce gt 230m
4 gb ram ddr 3 533 mhz
win 7 home premium x64
can someone please help me..
i want to play pcsx2..and truth is this emulator ran fine on my desktop core duo 512mb video card..
what is the issue..
i have way better computer now..and it won't even load..
on my old pc from 5 years ago, it booted into games fine..but was really slow...
now no games will play and i got better pc..
mind you back then i was using xp...but it was in 64bit..
goshinkisfang@hotmail.com
please help..
and if you don't know ..don't bother...
cuz i don't want to hear about dark and flickering screens..
i want someone to help me with my isue..which is game will not play... games that are supposed to be 100% playable (cept re 2 remake but it should still go in game..)
thx
