No, I've got Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 running in VMware Fusion on my Mac with decent speed.

Fifo, FRAPS isn't anything related with the lag during the emulation. I can guarantee you this since I also played RR in the emulator without recording and there is lag in some areas of the game (and my computer isn't a fossil, at least for now). It is the graphical plugin that needs extra tweaks to run it perfectly.

Windows 8 runs on VMWare good too, but trying to use GameCube Emulator on it sucks. VMWare cannot emulate emulators good since VMWare is emulator itself.

I know, I've got Windows 8.1 in VMware. Emulators actually work well in VMware.

Yeah, you're right. Even SSF works there.

I know. But using the PCSX2 built-in recorder won't record the lagging. It'll still lag, but you won't see the lag on the final video. And I know that your computer isn't a fossil. I know that it's a GSdx problem.

Fifo, no double post please, and to reduce recording lag, go to task manager and disable two CPU's for PCSX2 when recording. This works if you have 4 CPU's

Sorry for double-posting, and yes, I have a quad-core i7 CPU in my Mac.

Well for TurboBoost users this will be an improvement because by disabling some cores will let you run in a higher frequency. However acording to my tests with PCSX2 that software doesn't give a shit to turboboost and stucks at the stock frequency. I'd suggest to let the program run in all available cores by selecting only the first core in taskmanager and then afterwards select all other cores. It works well with Flight Simulator but I haven't tested it out on PSCX2. Although I doubt that the Plugin cooperates mainly with the CPU.

I've got Turbo Boost up to 3.3 GHz (2.3 GHz i7).

Hm, whenever posting, always check who posted last, as it stands, you've double posted again, I know it seems like a measly rule, but it's one that is valued by many forums, do you need help on how to deal with such scenarios? I'm willing to help out if needs be.
