>Decide to emulate the original dothack series because I felt

PS2 emulation is just pretty shit unfortunately.

I thought there are guides on setting specific games up on the forums

>>380588047
What's wrong with PCSX2 anon? IMOQ runs fine, I completed the first three emulating them in PCSX2

>>380588283
there's a wiki page for most games for config too, although it's down for the last few weeks
i've not emulated .//hack but most ps2 games emulate to a playable level in my experience with only a few exceptions

>>380588047
Use software mode.

>>380588719
Try and find a cached copy from Google.

The only people who have a problem with PCSX2 are those who can't read a wiki.

>>380588047
Daily reminder that PCSX2 is good and objectively better than Dolphin.

>>380588047
My first piece of advice for anyone trying to use pcsx2 is to download the latest dev build instead of using the stable release that's almost a year old

>try to bump the resolution in PCSX2
>lets try native 2x
>horrible ghosting

T-thanks.

>>380590758
What game?

All games emulate at acceptable level.

>>380590908
Yeah I'm emulating Yakuza 1 at the moment and I get ghosting and extreme bloom. I settled on using the blurry as fuck softwarre mode.

>>380590758
You probably have to use offset hacks and such to remove it. Something if it is a post processing thing messing with skipdraw can also remove it.

>>380590758
This is because a lot of PS2 games use shit effects like that, increasing resolution just makes it even more obvious.

I haven't had too much problems with most PS2 emulation. Only one that absolutely refuses to run is the Ratchet and Clank games because of the texture thing.

>>380591610
Check the enable HW hacks button and then it will enable the configure hacks button.

Has anyone here emulated Alundra?
I'm trying to do it on EPSXE and the sound keeps glitching every 10seconds.

>>380591613
You have to enable mipmapping somewhere in the configuration files, google around for it and you should find the github issue and how to enable it.

>>380591247

>>380589918

I tried Ace combat zero and God hand with it. Both went great. I even played them on my toaster.

>>380591610
That's outdated as fuck. Learn to read.

>>380591389
Use software mode in DX11.
I played it and enabled some of the settings to make it run at a more constant 59.whatever. It seems to run just fine without any glitches aside from slowdown when a lot of shit is going on but I think that's also a problem under normal circumstances on PS2.
I'm not exactly using the newest high end cpu either though it is 4c/8t

I'm still waiting for PCSX2 to have the Armored Core 3 series playable in hardware mode without stupid amounts of slowdown. Software at least runs great. And Armored Core 2 is wonderful in hardware mode.

>>380592481
the majority of wii and gc games are playable whereas ps2 emulation is ripe with graphical glitches and outright incompatability.

Can happen with some of the speedhacks for games that fully utilised the PS2 hardware, since things like negative EE cyclerate values basically emulates a slower clock speed.

Can anyone help me with this? I'm on 1.5 and I'm trying to get Ace Combat 5 to work, but I'm getting the terrain issue. I looked it up and a bunch of people are saying enable mipmapping, but I don't see that in my UI for some reason and I'm definitely on the latest build. I also tried adding the line directly to the gsdx ini but that didn't work either.

I've had pretty much zero issues with it aside frm ghosting in Tales of the Abyss on non-native resolutions which I eventually fixed. It really isn't that bad aside from the input lag which make the DBZ games much more annoying to play.

Or just an intel CPU. AMD CPU's suck for PS2 emulation unless you just got the latest ryzen shit which can actually perform on par with intel single core performance.

Also for some games you have to look up what settings to use, like ZoE for example I believe pretty much has to run in software mode to even be playable at all.

Dude, you have it setup correctly, just read the damn text in your picture, it loaded the 1.5.0 plugins. PCSX2 doesn't even install like a regular program, you can have multiple versions that are in different folders in your programs, documents, desktop, etc, as long as you name the shortcut "1.4.0 , 1.5.0 , etc" you'll be fine since you'll know what version you're running if it isn't obvious enough from the startup.

>>380597504
Make sure to check the right settings, there are some that majorly improve the framerate without much cost and are commented accordingly in the menu.
The weird graphical glitches for R&C are probably due to mipmapping issues that should be fixable under the D3D11 mode. I experience some slowdown in R&C when a lot of objects are on screen but it's probably nowhere near as bad as the default settings that you're likely to be using.

PC port is awful, setting it up to work with Windows 10 and a 360 pad or any modern controller is terrible, emulating it is way easier, only downside now is that the M4 and AK are harder to aim because you can't lightly press square without a PS2 controller.

Let me save you hours of headaches: completely disable ALL Steam controller profile bullshit in big picture mode. Only let games detect a controller like normal like it has been before the big picture updates came out. Big Picture and how it saves all your configs to the cloud and not locally can mega-fuck your controller up when not running Big picture or when running other programs that use your controller.

So completely uncheck everything in Big Picture mode for detecting ANY controllers. Download and install DS4 Windows (may have to legacy install), and exit Steam whenever you're running an emulator or playing a non-steam game that uses a controller.

The Atlus games have always been easily playable. You can go though all of Nocturne, Raidou, DDS, and Persona 3 and 4 easily. The only major problem was shadows and that's fixed now.

You have no clue at how hard emulation used to be for consoles. N64 and PS1 emulation used to be a deathrace with switching settings in multiple different plugins until you found what was bearable.

9/10 ps2 games you can check the wiki for good settings and play. My pre-built 500 dilly dollar comp with a GTX 750 TI and 3.5ghz amd can run Metal Gear Solid 2 with 60 fps despite it being one of the more demanding games. Get a real system and git gud

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING IN YOUR PICTURE

PCSX2 does still have some problems with some big titles. At least I think it does, I can't remember if the Jak and Ratchet issues actually got ironed out recently like I vaguely remember reading or not. Generally speaking if you follow the wiki you can run most things without issues. Unfortunately the wiki's been down for a long time.

>No point in this, games look much better emulated.

Well I guess to each their own, but I think emulated games lose their charm. Some games look way to clean and the shadows and colors you get from a TV are completely gone. Plus via network there's no loss of framerate and load times are fast. But I can see why you'd emulate instead if you don't have a nice TV.

>>380601963

there's a custom PCSX2 version that adds mipmapping to hardware mode fixing the graphical bugs in ratchet and clank. It plays fine.

Jak II is graphically still a bit fucked but it's more than playable.

What are some games that play like MMORPG but are not online?

>>380602006

>>380589918
PCSX2 not only runs more games (due to the nature of having more available games) but also runs a larger % of its library than Dolphin(95%+ library playable compared to the 89% of Dolphin). PCSX2 also runs a higher % of games to completion or near to flawlessly than Dolphin. Considering how Dolphin counts shit like Skyward Sword, Red Steel 2(constant wii mote disconnections) and Tatsunoko vs Capcom(stuttering to the point of unplayability) as playable I wouldn't put much weight behind its lists.

PCSX2's software renderer will run some multiplat games at a higher framerate than Dolphin's hardware renderer, at the same resolutions.

Dolphin has removed multi-core support, whereas PCSX2 will support up to one less core than your CPU has.

Dolphin also STILL stutters for every game.

"Playable" means the same thing for every emulator: "can be played from start to finish regardless of speed and glitches"

>>380602485
Shitty shader and texture caching has nothing to do with your CPU. You can't not stutter using Dolphin, hell you can't even fix audio problems in some cases.

I don't think you understand what 100% accuracy means. Dolphin and pcxs2 rely on hacks to make most games work, which is why you have to configure each game separately.
Though dolphin has a higher number of games that work out of the box, but it's nowhere near 100% accuracy.

That's not how it works, either the emulator is accurate or it isn't. If it is then every game runs perfectly.

>>380603183
pcsx2 has a software mode so you're wrong.
>Though dolphin has a higher number of games that work out of the box,
This is wrong as well. You don't have to change anything in pcsx2 for most games, and the pixel offset is usually the only thing.

Dolphin on the other hand is different for virtually every game.

PCSX2 sucks as an enhancing emulator. But most games run fine in Software mode without enhancements.

The only real reason to use PCSX2 over the real thing, assuming you already own a PS2 and whatever game you're trying to emulate, is to enhance the regular experience by playing the game at a higher resolution. I literally have no idea what you're saying.

Remember that if a ps2 game has the gc port, it's better to emulate it on Dolphin.

Also remember not to act like a retard when using PCSX2. It's not perfect but it's pretty much works. It's not a program where it can run perfectly in a single go. You need to find out how tweak it and it's pretty much works.

Exactly. To the point where he sabotaged his own emulator because fixes for other games would benefit Pokemon. There's melonDS in development, but it will take quite some time until it's usable.

The Tag Force games are generally considered good I think, but I never played those. I tend to prefer the "spinoff" titles for some reason. Duelists of the Roses, Capsule Monster Coliseum, Forbidden Memories. Sacred Cards is good, but Reshef is so incredibly grindy. I liked Legacy of the Duelist too. Only other one I know is Duel Transer which is okay I guess.

>Tfw still can't play Destory all humans without some ui glitch

>too retarded for PCSX2
last tiem i tried games ran slow as fuck with audio errors

>>380611492
Oh right. Forbidden Memories is super grindy too. I don't really get why I like it desu. I think it's the fusion system. The rest of it is very very simple and spell cards other than equipment cards are almost completely unviable, because you can only play one card per turn. Traps can be okay if you don't have a way to get a stronger monster than the enemy. I think the game is actually really poorly designed. It literally does nothing right and is still somehow enjoyable. I guess it's a guilty pleasure.

it's on PC noob

no wonder it has spikes if you are retarded nuff to run the emulator only on the cpu side

>>380595627
>Framerate drops

You know it emulates a PS2 right? You know the PS2 dropped frames like crazy all the time on a lot of games right?

It sounds like you're just retarded. PCSX2 is by no means perfect but it can play just about every game with minor or no glitches.

>>380612098
You can probably find those at portalroms.

>>380611891
No it's not

bawjwajjwajwajwajawjwajjwa

What's wrong with PCSX2? Only game I've had problems with is SotC, Okami and Ace Combat 0 work fine.

>>380612098
wait, when that happened?

>>380591610
Wow nigger. Don't complain about your shit problems if you aren't even using a semi recent build. I can understand not using the latest since gregory is a faggot who blacklisted AMD drivers but that was only recently. You could easily get a more recent version still.

How's ZoE 2 emulation?
Last time I tried, FPS tanked heavily during the first enemy encounter.

>>380612686
Not that anon but Ninetendo finally got off their asses and sent a C&D to emuparadise

>>380593474
Dark Cloud 2. I still like it but making towns is so fucking limiting that it's not fun. I guess it was fun at the time since nothing like that had ever existed to my knowledge at the time but today, it feels arbitrarily limited and the monster pictures are a bitch and don't even work some of the time.

>>380610354
Explain the performance increase I got over my NVME M.2 SSD then.

Oh wait you can't because you're talking out your ass.

Well since you didn't say which one was you lets go through all of them
>>>Emulators can and do reach 100% accuracy
>Yeah
>Just admit ur a total liar
That one can't even read
>Let's see you give a counter-example
Like 99% of all emulators?
>either the emulator is accurate or it isn't. If it is then every game runs perfectly.
No, as explained in the link

>feel like playing a rhythm game
>play parappa 2 in pcsx2
>audio is a fucking mess, so much lag, terrible fps, visual errors everywhere, completely broken
>load up guitar hero game on dolphin with vulkan core and 3x native resolution
>just works and looks great
Why is Dolphin so good compared to everything else?

>>380600865
He wasn't arguing.

>>380612924
So that's why I can't download ocarina of time iso

>>380599065
Why not make profiles for every game, so you just click on the iso and the profile and you're good to go?

>>380614232
cuz gc, wii, wiiu just runs on pcs like architecture
they are to easy to emulate while ps use an custom architecture that is more hard to emulate

dude i emulated dothack games 5 years ago on AMD cpu and everything is flawless.

today you shouldnt have a single problem with it and it should run 10000% all the time, especialy if you have intel cpu.

>>380612098
i have booth games do you want me to upload and give you the links?

>>380614935
By that logic the Xbox must be easy to emulate.

When will we have a windows 10 emulator?

So how's normal ps1 emulation these days?

I'm getting the itch to replay the lunar games.

>>380609614
I've been using it since at least the .9 versions and that has always worked for me.

Maybe you are just retarded.

It's time to up your game retard. I don't blame you. I remember when emuparadise was my only source too but it's not the only source and it's not even the best source.

There are places with what you're looking for. Especially those popular games.

>>380615664
I emulated them fine a decade ago.

Haven't used PCSX2 in a long time, but if that's true, that's pretty crap

It's not true. The other part isn't true either.

>>380612178
You're fucking stupid. The only time an emulator is going to drop frames when you're running it full speed is when some shitty 20fps vsync lock is in play. Like in MGS3 and SOTC both of which have 60 FPS fixes.

>>380615664
It's basically 100%.

Even the weird jitter and shaking you could sometimes get is gone.

I tried this and when I got to the fountain, the game crashed.

>>380615047
Yeah that would be pretty cool anon

>>380595627
you're a retard if you're using the 1.4 stable and not a dev build
