SNES station can't emulate some games properly

I have a softmodded ps2 and use open ps2 loader to boot into snes station. (It's an iso that lets you click a link to either sega/nintendo/super nintendo games with 500-1000 roms). So anyways, a few games are laggy and not worth running (super mario world 2 yoshi's island and rockman and forte, for example).
 
Which version of SNES-Station? There is not one but plenty.

And yes, emulation on PS2 is not very well. All emulators have issues. High quality emulation You can found only on Xbox Classic, Windows, Linux, macOS and Android (maybe also on some handhelds but I have only experience with PSP and PSV, and those are meh...).
 
I have the latest version (0.2.4) that can load games from a usb device. I recently tested it with Yoshi's Island and even on the first level there's several spots where it freezes for 5-10 seconds that makes the game unplayable.

some cheap USB sticks are slower than they should be. try a different one.
 
I don't see a reason why to use such an outdated emulator.
But I don't think Snes Station can even run Yoshi Island properly because of the FX chip.
 
Try "SNES-Station (2016-09-06) v0.2.4S". It is unofficial, yet superior. Also try different USB device, just for sanity check.

And try less demanding games (not like i.e: Start Fox, Star Ocean, Yoshi's Island etc. ;p).
 
@jcorrea Thanks I'll look into that. It looks like there's an elf for Retroarch. I don't load the game via usb btw, the emulator just has that capability. It's uploaded onto the HDD as a video game through the network adapter in the back so it plays as if you installed the game on your hard drive for your PC. That should be the fastest access of data (although it's an internal hard drive).
 
Never launch any homebrew using OPL/HDL from disc image, written as partition. In most cases, they are incompatible introducing new issues. Some emulators support PFS, so put them on partition with this file system (i.e SNES-Station if I'm correct).
