Why can't i turn off the speed hacks in pcsx2?

You might be unable to turn off speed hacks in PCSX2 due to specific settings or configurations that have been applied in the emulator. Check the "Emulation Settings" under the "Config" menu and ensure that "Speed Hacks" are either disabled or set to their default values. Additionally, make sure that you're not using any external plugins that could interfere with the emulator's performance. If problems persist, consider resetting your PCSX2 settings to default or checking for updates.
