Can anyone actually run Snake Eater and Shadow of the Colossus at acceptable frames, or is ps2 emulation just a meme?
>>387897949
>MEME
haha wow!
>>387897949
You kidding? It runs much better than it does on the PS2, my dude.
Don't ask for settings, I can't remember what they were when I was playing it.
>>387897949
I can run both of those games at real 60fps. You might want to upgrade your PC or stop being a retard.
>>387897949
PCSX2 is just a piece of shit emulator, it never gets any better, and nobody else is doing PS2 emulation (which is strange since the PS2 was like the most popular console ever, and most of them aren't working any more because they were built of paper mache and they destroyed discs even when they worked)
Fucking PS3 emulation is already outpacing PCSX2
>>387898159
>>387898027
A whole fucking 60fps while I can barely manage ~20. What're your PC builds?
>>387897949
>SOTC
>Acceptable frame rates
That shit runs at a silky smooth 12 FPS on a PS2.
>>387898228
i7 from 2012 and a 1070.
>>387898213
Imagine posting something this wrong.
>>387898264
I guess I kind of worded that wrong. I just don't want the constant distortion of sound and slight slowdown. Could be my PC is just shit.
>>387898363
GHz? My 2500k is at 3.3
>>387898228
4690K overclocked to 4.1 GHz. GPU barely matters for most emulation. I have SLI 970s, but that's irrelevant.
You want that beefy processor son!
>>387898213
>Fucking PS3 emulation is already outpacing PCSX2
>yfw emulated PS3 HD remasters have better FPS and less glitches than the emulated PS2 originals
>>387898213
I have two sealed ps2s from a police auction that i got for $10 total right before the ps3 came out. Shit sells for $500 on ebay, gonna sell em before ps5 comes out and pay for it with the profits
>>387898529
sweet
>>387898445
> My 2500k is at 3.3
Why wouldn't you OC a k series chip? It's time to upgrade anyhow, you won't hold 60fps with those. You clearly didn't set up the emulator properly if you're getting shitty FPS though.
>>387898469
>GPU barely matters for most emulation.
It matters for high resolution especially for these two games.
>>387898527
But none of the HD remasters are playable without glaring issues, and most of them just don't work. I keep up with all these emulators and RPCS3 is a joke compared to PCSX2 even for the games that are completely playable. And they will most likely never run faster because the system its emulating is more complex. Just look at Okami as an example of a game running almost twenty times slower.
>>387897949
What's with all the PCSX2 threads lately?
>>387898529
>PS5
You mean PS4 Pro 2
>>387898648
No idea how to overclock and I'm kind of intimidated by it. Are there any places you can point me towards that tell me how to set it up? I tried multiple videos off of youtube, but I guess they didnt really work
>>387898662
I personally started this one because I saw SotC being remastered and wanted to play again.
>>387898662
ps2 is the most popular system ever and it can be played on pc with increased resolution
figure it out
>>387898662
some dude installed it lately and found out it doesn't run for shit
>>387898823
Lurk more.
>>387898690
>>387898846
>some dude installed it on his shitty AMD laptop and it didn't run everything at 4K120fps so he thinks the emulation is shit
ftfy
>>387897949
I played Snake Eater from start to finish twice. Step it up.
>>387898662
Maybe it has something to do with RPCS3.
>>387898967
yeah i know, should have specified "on his toaster"
Can someone post a screencap of their settings?
>>387898990
>upping resolution increases the distance between offset alpha layers used for blending/blurring
This effect is pretty noticeable in FFXII but I have never been able to fix it.
>>387899167
MGSV:
partial CRC
half-pixel offset to fix misaligned bloom
60fps patch
30fps for cutscenes patch if you have a toaster
MTVU
SOTC:
bit more complicated to get visuals right since it's always misaligned somehow
MTVU
overclock the EE for 60fps if you have a good cpu
>>387899235
Yea nobody made a patch to remove the DOF in FF12, I don't think the emulator guys can fix it either. You can disable it in some of the other Square games though like KH or FFX. And some games you can force/enable progressive scan or use skipdraw which helps a lot.
>>387899235
oh yeah i noticed that too during cutscenes in ffxii. Regular gameplay was okay though
>>387898990
>Tried DeS on RPCS3
>had ~20 fps
It's still dogshit, what's all the hype about?
>>387899697
Some people have better CPUs than you do.
>>387899785
>3.5ghz CPU isn't enough
True, not everyone owns a fucking supercomputer.
>>387899975
I may be just a network engineer but I'm still triggered that you think the clock speed is all that matters.
>>387899975
>>3.5ghz
>high
You're probably AMD too.
>>387899975
3.5GHz isn't anything impressive nowadays, besides it means nothing without knowing what CPU you actually have. In any case, even first-gen i5s and i7s could hit around 4GHz.
>>387899975
You have to be joking. That's lower than my base clock.
>>387898159
>21:9
How do I get that Cinematic Gear Solid, anon?
>>387901027
MGS3 has letterbox I just cropped it out for the webm.
>>387900290
i love this game. I chose to be a racist human lover fuck ridley that cunt
>>387901867
>>387898823
>No idea how to overclock
It's not hard at all my man. Here's a good guide I used to get my 2500k to 4.5
http://www.bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/cpus/how-to-overclock-the-intel-core-i5-2500k/1/
I have a 4790k at 4.4 ghz and still wasn't hable to mantain 60fps on MGS3
>inb4 b-but you didn't setup it right
>>387903145
You literally didn't.
>>387903145
Is there such a huge difference in requirements between different PS2 games? I only ever emulated P3FES so far but my 4.7GHz 4790k only hits like 10% load and the game runs perfectly at 8x resolution.
>>387897949
Meme does not mean "things I don't like", so no, it is not a meme.
>>387903683
Yes. The difference between MGS3 at 60fps and Persona 3 is literally a decade's worth of hardware.
>>387903683
>playing at 8x
>not using shaders to slightly but profoundly boost IQ
For what purpose?
>>387903889
I mean, that's not all that much in terms of CPU, considering how slowly things have been improving in terms of IPC and clock.
>>387904014
Didn't bother researching shaders I guess. 8x resolution is just a single setting and it was well worth it on a 3840x2160 monitor.
>>387903683
It's the emulator that doesn't work right with some games
Armored Core 3 runs like ass, even though MGS3 is fine (when set up right)
>>387897949
It's a meme, I have a fairly powerful gaming laptop and still can't run any PS2 games at an acceptable speed.
Dude even a PS2 cant run SotC at acceptable frames.
>>387903683
Some games tax the PS2 to the max so that even when played on hardware you will get frame drops. Also some game engines can do hacky shit (normally to get more out of the hardware) that ends up less optimised in emulation causing more taxing requirements.
>>387904334
>gaming laptop
Gregory Horror Show sound bugs PLS FIX
>>387904334
>laptop
>>387904310
Armored Core 3 is a weird beast. In hardware mode it runs like dogshit unless you turn off depth emulation which gives 60fps at the cost of being able to see effects through buildings.
Software though I've been able to run flawlessly. Armored Core 2/Another Age is also perfectly playable in hardware mode, even runs better than the console in some areas (notably destroying that giantass tank).
>>387897949
Most of the games I emulate have acceptable frames; I just wish that textures would quit glitching and vanishing.
>>387904334
>i5 dual core @2.5ghz
>740m
>gaming laptop
I hope you are just baiting.
And even with that setup you could still run some of the more optimised games at 2x native with no real frame drops if setup correctly.
>>387904014
With the static res HUDs it's going to look like shit with anything other than native res and an accurate CRT shader, which we'd have to wait for a libretro core to have.
>>387905474
>accurate CRT shader
oxymoron
get a better pc, the games run awesome
>>387897949
I played SotC just fine like 5 years ago on an emulator, so sounds like your PC is shit.
>>387905824
What were your specs 5 years ago? If my fucking PC is that outdated, I'm killing myself.
>>387905271
What are those games and what's the correctly set it up?
>>387906795
Games like Persona 3/4, FFX, Gust games etc. As for the general correct setup, just download the latest dev build and set the speedhack presets to aggressive or aggressive plus while enabling MTVU and the GPU settings to 2x native and either hardware DX11 or OpenGL. Is also good practice to check the wiki for specific settings for games in case there are hacks you have to enable or their is a specific setting it doesn't like.

How could those three words be used together?
Anyone got a link to the translated FFXII IZJS?
