I honestly feel there's nothing wrong with it.

I don't have my ps2 hooked up and don't plan to, I buy discount ps2 games from (nothing more than 5 bucks), and it all works fine and I get to keep the game and run it whenever I want with the current version of an emulator I have.

What's the issue? Is there some sort of news?

Last game I played was Gran Turismo 4, which ran exceptionally well. It used to run like garbage for me until the last year or so.

I have an old 2011 Sandy Bridge at 3.3ghz

You can't. PCSX2 was built to just quickly get everything in a vaguely playable state, which is why every other game has compatibility/accuracy issues. It's probably not something that can really be fixed without big work being done on the core parts of the emulator.

Kind of like N64 emulation, albeit on a decidedly lesser scale.

Rebuild the whole thing from the ground up same as N64 emulation.

Chances of that happening are close to 0% though since we already have a "good enough" emulator with PCSX2 and no one with the expertise/skill/talent/ect to do it wants to waste their time/effort actually doing it.

for anyone still wondering

it's not an accurate emulation of the hardware at a lower level, it instead relies on hacks and certain settings for most games in order to get them working

the main issue is that pcsx2 sees less development of the actual emulation and more creating hacks/settings to get games working

Windows/Linux OS
CPU: Any that supports SSE2 (Pentium 4 and up, Athlon64 and up)
GPU: Any that supports Pixel Shader model 2.0, except Nvidia FX series (broken SM2.0, too slow anyway)
512MB RAM (note Vista needs at least 2GB to run reliably)

Recommended

Windows Vista / Windows 7 (32bit or 64bit) with the latest DirectX
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.2 GHz or better OR i3/i5/i7 @ 2,8 GHz or better OR AMD Phenom II @ 3,2 GHz or better
GPU: 8800gt or better (for Direct3D10 support)
RAM: 1GB on Linux/Windows XP, 2GB or more on Vista / Windows 7

>pretty good thing this doesn't happen then huh.
That's just wrong, and if you think this then you haven't played PCSX2 enough.
Some games can't be fixed no matter how much you tweak. e.g. Ace Combat 4. Nothing will fix the glitched plane textures except running in software mode, which brings performance back down to PS2 levels while also requiring a stupid expensive CPU.
PCSX2 isn't even close to flawless. It's nice when it works, but too often it doesn't work.

Depends.

A lot of the JRPGs and eariler titles (2001-2003) work very well.
Some effects heavy games (like Okami in particular) loose effects on HW mode and have slowdowns on SW modes.
Other games that use hardware trickery (like Jak series, Primal, Rachet and Clank series) are even harder to emulate.
And later games (esp. the big ones like DMC3SE, God of War II, Ace Combat) have problems with even beefier PCs.

I really wish more people would get involved in PS2 emulation scene. I believe that it's still possible to bring it near Dolphin level.

i hope anyone complaining about ps2 emulation is at least using the nightly builds. pcsx2, like dolphin, has horrible build number practices where they go from 4.0 to 5.0, meanwhile the dev builds had 10k changes over a year in between. member when dolphin was spamming 5.0? it was no different than 4.0-9999 basically.

2. Stuttering was fixed recently with ubershaders.
3. Audio has been perfect for years.
4. It has a software renderer. But it's hardware renderers are actually good, so there's no reason to use it.

Do the Ratchet and Clank games work on hardware mode yet without broken textures?

If not the emulator belongs in the trash.

You two are fucking idiots. PCSX2 is pretty much at where ZSNES is in terms of accuracy. It plays the most popular games well enough to be acceptable, but it's not accurate and struggles with lesser-known games.

Is PS2 even playable on HDTV?

>>386925161
you are such a fucking pleb god damn

>>386931146
It looks a lot better with component cables if that's what you mean. Still terrible resolution though.

>>386931146
Of course, why the fuck wouldn't be?

>>386931146
Yes, I have a PS2 plugged into one now. There are plenty of HDTVs around that can use component cables.

"good enough" emulators really do seem to have this sort of detrimental effect on that platform's emulation. You get something like ZSNES, Project64, PCSX2, DeSmuME, ePSXe and when the majority of the people are content with it being "good enough" it can take a decade or more before someone actually decides to do something better. Meanwhile you have the PSP floundering with JPCSP for years and then out of the fucking blue we get PPSSPP, same shit when down with the Capcom CPS-3, for years it was unemulatable, progress was slow, then all of a sudden someone got fed up with it and we had a fully working emulator in like 6 months.

Isn't it fascinating that one of the highest selling consoles with tons of popular exclusives only has one emulator? If PCSX2 doesn't work, why does it not have any competition? It's almost as if it works and people are successfully playing through games on it, and /v/ is being retarded for no reason.

>>386934259
It's not like the PS2 has ass-backwards architecture rivaled only by the Saturn and PS3 or anything.

I can't complain, PS2 emulation is wayyy better than previous these last few years. I can play Way of the Samurai so I'm happy. They need better profile management on PCSX2 tho

Parallelism isn't the issue here. The 360 has three cores and no developer complained about that platform. The problem is that the extra processors weird architecture. Nobody knew how to use the VDP2 in Saturn, few people could write optimal microcode for the VUs and fewer people could write optimal code for all the Cell SPUs. PS2 has the additional problem of having a really weird GPU with next to no VRAM and an unusually short pipeline but insane memory bandwidth.
The machines just aren't built like other platforms.

"PCSX2 will automatically store all settings, memcards and new files generated in general in your Documents folder if you used the installers, or in the same folder pcsx2-r5875.exe is located at if you used the binary version." - https://pcsx2.net/config-guide/official-english-pcsx2-configuration-guide.html

ctrl + c them shits and drop them in a folder with the name "default." then when you change your settings for some fucked up ass japanese garbage, you go back and ctrl + c them shits again and drop them in another folder with the name of your weeb ass game (both these folders live in a folder named "Profiles" because fucking duh).

Component inputs are becoming rare (my 4k set doesn't have any) but they make make HDMI adapters that plug directly into the console so you don't get lag.

I really don't get all this hate for PCSX2. I mean its not perfect but its workable, you can find settings in the internet. granted i only played a couple of games from it, it worked fine from my experience

>>386907384
Works for me. You have to tweak the settings depending on the game. It's not like every single game will work flawlessly at default emulator settings. Tales of Destiny Remake for example crashes during every FMV cutscene unless you enable the ToD hack in the settings.

>>386937863

>>386930807
>Lesser known games
>Jax and Daxter has issues

SNES emulation is near perfect for the reasons that the console was hacked to shit during it's hayday still. It's not very complicated.
However EmotionEngine is whole nother bag of shit and PCSX2 is open source, therefore has no solid development team behind it and therefore is a buggy piece of shit that we're luck works to a degree of about 40% of games work perfect and about 20% more with adjustments with a remainder of 40% that completely shit out unless you have a monsterous cpu to completely fuck it to death in software mode.

Dolphin is closer to being perfect before PCSX2 and that's because it has a dedicated development team that isn't based around open source fuckery.

People hear open source, but the reality is much more grim of open source projects. They tend to take forever or go nowhere in general because they are passion projects. Rule of thumb this is why Linux will never be for consumer grade shit.

>>386937583
I really love when that almost NEVER happened new friend. Soul Calibur III was the worst offender on PS2 and Namco released a whole new version on disc to make up for it.

>>386938762
You might actually have a point. I've always felt like the controller was designed for midgets, it's way too small.

>>386938734
Dreamcast controller is nice and big with good grips to make it comfortable to hold and has a very accurate stick and good triggers.
However, both the stick and dpad are fairly uncomfortable because of the hard plastic used and there's a serious deficiency of inputs.

You should probably kill yourself honestly, no girls will date a 5'10

>>386938821

Once you set them up correctly they're fine. I had some issues with 1, but 2 ran perfectly.

It's pretty stupid to wait for PS3 emulation to get good enough for a game nobody really cares about (the devs are only focusing on fan favourite exclusives like Demon's Souls and Persona 5), when the originals run perfectly fine on the PS2 emulator.

>>386940223
The issue is that some effects end up having a sort of trippy echo effect. Think of like clipping into somewhere you shouldnt be in a FPS or the old Windows XP error dialogue you could drag around the screen and have it follow.

Its pretty annoying, but the game looked fantastic besides that. I assume the best way to play it now is Kiwami.

>>386940383

Part of the experience from Yakuza comes from playing 1 in all its shittiness, too. Going from 1 to 2 felt amazing, and I feel like some character moments are ruined in Kiwami (like Majima, he was played really well in 1 but the remake went a little overboard with the fanservice).

Also, nobody should be denied the right to play dubbed Yakuza. Hearing Mark Hamill harass you throughout the game is amazing.

Worst part is that the delay varies from game to game. I could be playing Budokai 3 and it's be fine but if I switch to Yakuza 2 there's 500ms of latency.

Is there any evidence towards the input lag on PCSX2? I've never noticed it.

pcsx2 was designed from the start to be hacky and patchy with billions of disparate plugins that barely work. it is unsavable. im holding out a sliver of hope that the mednafen guy or rpcs3 or similar swoop out of nowhere with a brand new emulator but you'll be putting up with controller lag for the next century at least.

>>386940080

>>386941104
The project is open source, you can contribute if you believe you can do better.

This is what people don't understand about PCSX2 it's entirely open source. It does not have an internal team managing it, like say Dolphin, Cemu, or Citra or even the PS3 emulator.

>>386941324
They're not fixes, they're workarounds; meaning they're trade-offs. You trade one problem for another. Yakuza emulation is known to have problems and is frequently discussed. No point in pretending otherwise and giving PCSX2 devs a pass for their incompetence.

>>386941237
Windows Vsync is fine for input lag. Its +1-5 frames, depending on how badly your app is setup.
That PCSX2 can't sync or input for shit, is the Apps own fault.

Pic related. I was always triggered by how fucked up the GTA3 fonts in PCSX2 were (look at the zeroes, they're glitched).

Was that shit ever fixed? Haven't tried PS2 GTA3 in ages.

Then get one, dumbfuck

Have you actually emulated the games, though? They're completely perfect aside from one or two minor bugs, and that's only the first game. I've played 1 and 2 and only 1 had any problems, 2 was completely flawless.

I don't know why you're even bothering emulating PS2 games if you're not expecting a few hiccups along the way. If you can do better, then do it. We'd all appreciate a perfect PS2 emulator, and since you think the PCSX2 devs are incompetent that must mean you can do better, right?

It isn't even up and coming, it's been around for 10+ years. It's a meme.

there's no point just get gta 3 for pc and download ginput from gta garage

>>386940969
The amount of people today using redundant versions of emulators that are years old and complaining about shit not working is fucking startling.

>>386918846
Who the fuck cares about Fap and Shitster? It's a garbage meme game with horrible graphics, literally 1990's gameplay and awful unfunny writing. Just forget about it, damn.

Every time.

>>386942056
What? Those statements aren't really contradictory, dude.

One game runs flawlessly, yes, but that's not the same for every game. Get your head out of your ass.

>>386942035
18+, kid.

>meme game
Why out yourself as a dipshit like that? Your whole post is buzzwords that you learned here. Stop being a a parrot and form your own thoughts.

>there are still people who have trouble getting games to work in PCSX2

That's really fucking embarrassing.

>>386942164
/v/ is filled with casual drones who screech at emulators because theyre brainlets with ADD who got frustrated 3 seconds in.

>>386942164
it's almost like it shit or something

>>386942164
I found ePSXe to be a lot more annoying to set up, but that's just because some versions of it kept deleting my plugins and game saves for no reason and I had to redownload everything again multiple times

I usually find it's the other way around and if you mention vanilla hardware on /v/ that you already own anons screech at you to "just emulate". As if you are invalidating the emulation or something.>>386942314

>>386942164
How did you get Burnout 4 Revenge working without horrific latency Einstein? Also how did you fix the graphical glitches without resorting to software rendering?

>>386942462
Well emulators do have the benefit of removing some restriction so its not completely baseless.

>>386942462

post-proc mostly, and various games can have their fps unlocked safely.

You mean the operating system developed and maintained by Google?
Next you're gonna pretend Chromium isnt 95% Google Devs.

The most common server distros arr also maintained by large companies, et RedHat, CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Suse..

Dont let /g/ memes get to you. /g/ wasnt able to make anything beyond a logo. That should tell you everything about their credibility.

Except your GPU can also play a factor in whether a game can have texture issues or not. I noticed that Ape Escape 2 in particular had a shit load of texture problems like everything looking transparent when I was attempting to run it on integrated graphics that actually went away when I played it on the 970

>>386943373
This is the kind of arcane bullshit that gives PCSX2 a bad rep.

>>386943373
Were you using opengl? The intel opengl driver probably sucks ass.

>>386943590
>using IGPUs for emulating
nah

>>386942506
I just downloaded it. I didn't have to change a single setting. Not only are there no graphical glitches, but I'm playing it at 105 FPS.

I think it's time for you to do a little bit of introspection.

>>386907384
Do you dears anon think some honor 6x tier smartphone can manage ps2 emulation?
I'm too lazy to try by myself right now. Fatal frame 2 on the go would be dope

>>386942117
>>386942125
It's not my fault the two of you are so blinded by nostalgia you can't see just how overrated the whole thing was.
And yes, it's a "meme" game. Its whole shtick was that there were no loading screens. Well whoop-de-fucking-doo, something Soul Reaver had managed half a decade prior with actual interesting graphics, gameplay and writing in a console with half the power of the PS2.
Naughty Dog died after crash team racing, admit it. You literally cannot be this blind. I was 11 when I first played this garbage and I already knew it was derivative shit. But if you really like catching fish and floaty platforming with bad combat then be my guest.

>>386943884
>J&D sucks because it's a tech demo

>Crash is good

>>386943806
>thinks FPS is the same as latency

really makes you introspect

>>386943884
Why do you think anyone would take you seriously after you said "Fap and Shitster"?
