Greetings all! First off, I want to say thanks to all the support and communication on this fourm. I'm really excited to have a chance to come back the NCAA franchise thanks to RPCS3 (my kids basically steal the console these days, so I'm stuck to PC in my "office"). Maybe relive the glory-days for my beloved Semi-NOes, or take a powderpuff team to dynasty glory.

QUESTION: Anyone have any initial startup recommendations?

I've got RPCS3 up and the game loaded to my PC (Specs below). I've only booted just a few times, but experienced lots of choppiness, terrible audio, and freezing after only a few downs. From what I've read:
- It seems like the best approach is trial-and-error, one setting at a time, to get a smooth game
- Also looks like an older RPCS3 version might be more stable...people have had success in the past, even on an i5.
- This game and emulation is CPU-heavy and my PCU runs at 100% according to MSIAfterburner; might best consider popping in an i7 (Black Friday is not too far away).

MY RIG SPECS:
Intel i5 4460 3.2GHz (liquid cooled)
GeForce RTX 2070 Super
16 GB DDR3 RAM
1TB WD SSD (in motherboard M2 slot)

Thanks! I'm enjoying troubleshooting so far since I'm learning more about PCs.
