The fuck you smoking? I was playing it last night and it never crashed once.

I don't get why people think PS2 emulation is so bad.

I've been playing games on PCSX2 for years, and the worst thing that's happened yet was Spiderman 2 acting up, but even then that game is a bitch to emulate.

I'll give you a hint

>>274696979

Because a few games don't emulate well?

It's the same with every other emulator, there will always be some games that just don't emulate.

truth: No one wants to buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, so the emulators are worked on harder. The same community behind the emulators at the same time are dedicated Nintendo fans that dont want to give up on their favorite shit. The playstation community and Xbox community are far less dedicated, Xbox moreso (too many retarded dudebros) but you get my point. It took 10 years for EPSXE to be a decent emulator, just imagine how long until we get a working PS3 emulator.

>>274700706

Listen here bub. I'm not looking for 100% accuracy. I would just like an emulator that doesn't have random as fuck texture glitches like PS2. Let me not forget to mention how most of the PS2 library is unplayable on PCSX2 due simply to the fact the grafic plugin has fucking interlacing built in that you can only remove by making the screen jitter or smearing vaseline on the image.

Seriously. I'm testing these games the anons posted. Why not post some proof of your own?

Be more objective and less like a snarky fuck. It feels like you're trying too hard to fit in.

Also I tried to emulate Monster Hunter Tri, Wind Waker and F-Zero and they all crashed every 12 minutes. It probably depends on the hardware.

>>274694715
There's a thread on /vg/ for emulation, check settings there if you can't get it to work properly.
Or better yet, play something that isn't furryshit.

People who make emulators are as whiny, petty, cancerous, and autistic as scanlators.
If you're aware of just how awful scanlation groups are then you know it's pretty bad.

Try not having a toaster. Perhaps then you can actually be objective about all these.
I have no issues with framerate, or speed in either emulator, but PCSX2 is just so shit and ripe full of render issues, texture errors, overlay corruption. It's just full silly.

Seriously Dolphin is pretty top tier for what it is. It's almost as good as ePSXe with Pete's OpenGL2 driver.

Sorry if I'm not a broke ass nigga like you, I don't used speed hacks for any of these so accuracy should be good, but it's not.

PCSX2 core is great, almost everything runs great in software mode

Problem is GSDX, Gabest designed it poorly from the get go & didn't bother to fix it, also his code is a mess & no one wants to clean it up

Best bet is for someone to make a new Graphics plugin for PCSX2, maybe one day

PCSX2 isn't bad, it's just hard to use.

You can literally get a ps2 for a price of a big mac these days why the fuck even bother?

>>274696430
Only issues I've seen with emulated PS2 games were these:
>DQ8
- Shadows only appear in software mode, important for one small part of the game
>Super Robot Wars Z
- Cutscenes flicker unless you're in software mode
- Pilot portraits are transparent if you're running the emulator with DX11 instead of DX9

I don't emulate a ton of games but I really haven't had any major issues

When will a PS2 engineer defect from Sony and make the perfect emulator?

>>274709716
I didn't have that problem.
This means that it's not a problem with the emulator itself as much as it is a problem on your end (most likely due to bad settings).

>>274701606

you should question why people make emulators

so people can play games, or are there expecting e-fame and gratitude?

Seriously. Go try it for yourself. I have tried this almost bi monthly hoping that each new pcsx build I download would be the one to fix it.
It's only noticeable when moving.

ps2 emulation is existent unlike xbox emulation

at this point any newer consoles will take fucking forever to be emulated if they are ever at all

>>274694715
Gamecube and Wii have fairly basic hardware. Its pretty similar to a PC (minus the DSP audio chip). The PS2 is a completely different best with a crazy hardware setup that is not even close to anything else on the market. The Emotion Engine behaves much different from the Gamecube's PowerPC CPU.

If you're using the same goddamn settings on three different computers of course it's going to look the same. Either google recommended PCSX2 settings or stop being retarded.

VisualBoyAdvance hasn't been updated in years and VBA-M still has issues with a few games here or there.

It's not only a matter of settings, it also depends on your hardware. No matter how powerful your rig is, it might not be compatible for emulating PS2.

>>274711001
Because for some people, noticeable graphic, sound, and performance issues are still "good enough" to be played. So therefore, it must be perfect.

I don't agree with that sentiment, but I understand what they're saying. I think there needs to be terms for emulation that looks perfect, emulation that's "good enough", and actual, perfect emulation. Too many people say shit is perfect when there's clearly problems or it's not technically perfect.

I forget which hotkey it is, but cycle the different deinterlacing settings, PCSX2 doesn't have any sort of REAL vsync to speak of, so you have to find a specific mode for a specific game unfortunately, and it looks like you have the one that does interframe blurring

>>274708583

Software mode on PCSX2 is more intensive than hardware mode right?

Pcsx2 runs like shit on intense games.

>>274709495
>VBA

Hell no. BSNES comes the closest but even it's not because it only....copies cycles instead of some other shit, because if you tried to perfectly emulate that other shit, it would be far too resource intensive and so no emulator (or very few) has done it.

I read about it on wikipedia or something.

>>274712305
Yes.
Not in software mode, you'll need moar cores for that. Might be okay in hardware mode.

>>274712156

Hasn't that always been their shitty excuse though? No major games run well on the thing, audio issues up the ass, and they always squawk about CPU cycles and all this shit.

Yeah, no. Intel has objectively better IPC so it runs nearly every emulator better than AMD. There's usually benchmark threads on emulator forums if you wanna see how much better Intel CPUs are than AMD for stuff like that.

>>274713416
No, AMD is shit either way. Or, at least, shittier. PCSX2 has serious issues with the graphics plugin and hasn't made any major progress in compatibility or accuracy in months, if not years.

Dolphin is at least progressing, albeit, it's still not perfect, but is on a much better track than PCSX2.

My $60 G3258 outperforms every AMD CPU.

Wow that's sad.

I'm happy that PS1 emulation finally got out of the gutter thanks to Mednafen,i still need to rely on SSF for that Saturn emulation since Yabause is making progress too slowly.

>>274713416
Nah, I have an Intel CPU and I've played through KH2: FM, Nocturne, Raidou, Million Monkeys and FF12 with no real issues.

nintendo just released a gamecube adapter, so of course theres more people emulating

Seriously though. Speed isn't an issue for me since I can run both of these at 60fps at the same time.

PCSX2 is still shit tier though.

Ps2 uses a custom Japanese made graphics chip not 100% understood by hackers.
The GC and WII use ATI grafics chips making it easier to map and emulate because its esencialy similar to other older ATI GPUs.

Since this is an emulation thread, I might as well ask.

The only Nintendo console I've ever owned was the NES (and the GBC, if you can count that). I've never played any N64 games, never played any SNES games, never played any Wii games. I've never touched a Zelda game outside of the first one, never played a Metroid game.

I've had a PC from a very young age and just never bothered with consoles apart from NES and PS2.

What would you recommend me to play? What have I missed? Has my childhood suffered?

>>274715895
Buttmad PCSX2fag spotted. Good luck running any games that don't work with GSDX on your shitty hardware.

What are the recommended settings for DQ8?
I'm running at a silky smooth 30FPS pace and it's driving me crazy

>>274715949
does mednafen run tron bonne without freezing? does mednafen run a particular japanese title called neorude (it's nothing special but XEBRA's the only emulator that runs it)

if mednafen can do these things then mednafen is runing the xebra core

>>274716405
>does mednafen run tron bonne without freezing?

I believe it should,it runs even the most obscure titles so i don't see why not.

Reminder that Mednafen is the best PS1 emulator and is practically cycle accurate.

You can even use original gameshark dumps by quickly swapping out ISOs.

Pic any Zelda or any Metrid game from any system and you are gonna have fun.
How man you play depends on how much you can tolerate retro grafics.
Its usually best to alternate.
Play one 2d Zelda than play one 3d Zelda and than one GB Zelda.
Same whit meteoroid.
Zsnes is used for SNES games.
Visual boy advance is used for GB and GBA games.
Don't play the first meteoroid you have a better remake on the GBA.

We have literally perfect SNES emulation now if you use bsnes but if you've got a toaster use Snes9x. ZSNES is an ancient, shitty emulator from the 90s that has no reason to exist anymore.

How? Gabest doesn't work on gsdx anymore and the codebase is a complete fucking mess. There hasn't been any improvement in the emulator in months because they have no idea what anything does anymore.

>>274716656

It depends,some titles require certain fixes to work as they should.I can agree that the complexity of the game has a big part in it,i remember having some slowdown while playing Front Mission 3 with Mednafen on my old PC due to one distortion effect being very CPU heavy.

It's nice to be able to play all your games on one machine. I have a HTPC in my livingroom and have almost 1400 PS1 iso's on there. I have a PS1, a PS2 and a PS3 but having all the games on that one machine along with thousands of games from other systems and PC games too makes it a better option for me.

>>274721293
Laggy doesn't mean inaccurate. And in emulators resource usage doesn't necessarily correlate with eye candy.

>>274696326
OH SHIT

>>274694715
dolphin actually has a competent bunch of developers that are striving for accurate emulation.

>yfw there will never be a team like this for any other emulator and every other emulator will be shit forever.

Be glad that the wii emulates other systems because you'll find better emulators on there than on majority of other current developed emus.

Get an aftermarket cooler and OC your CPU heavily and you'll still be able to get good FPS in intensive PCSX2 and Dolphin games.

Maybe not for the most intensive like Shadow of the Colossus though.

>>274722194
Pretty much any console before the 5th gen has a good emulator. PSX is fine, and Gamecube is decent as well. We need a better DS, PS2, Saturn, and N64 emulator. We also need an Xbox emu period.

>>274723476
I've no idea if your CPU is good enough for those games.

Still, the $60 G3258 is the best budget CPU you can get if you want good performance on emulators.

Just stick with the fx 6300 and OC in the future if you need to.

It was great at the time, but pretty much every other emulator has surpassed it. Also, back then a lot of people didn't have the cpu for something cycle-accurate like bsnes since it required a core 2 duo which was cutting edge, but now that's ancient history.
