Oh, I love editors.

>>3427406
How accurate is the emulation itself compared to epsxe and mednafen?

>just downloaded epsxe today
fuck up my shit senpai

>>3427694
You cant really call it accurate since the output obviously doesn't look like a real console.

>>3427406
Didn't mednafen had this feature?
Also i can't see any god damned difference.

>>3427694
considering it's using the plugin system and applying corrections, you can probably guess that accuracy is not high on their feature list

>>3427801
mednafen would not do any corrections, their purpose is accuracy. As for the differences, look at the wall on the front right

>>3427807
I see. That's all?
I meant a shader not the emulator.

>>3427809
Yes, that is all. The whole purpose of PGXP is to correct the zigzag distorted textures at low angles.
And no, a pixel shader cannot do that, on mednafen or anywhere else

>>3427812
It's not much but it's nice, i hope a core comes to retroarch.

>tfw I still use epsxe
this shit never works properly with anything, it feels like zsnes now, I guess I should be on that mednafen kick these days?

>>3427834
give mednafen a try, see if it works for you. epsxe and mednafen have different purposes. Mednafen tries to presevere PS behavior where possible. That includes slowdowns, resolution, stuff like that. Its configuration is largely for the interface, like your controller, and the setup of your screen. You can not tune the emulator as such. Meanwhile epsxe/pcsxr is more about making PS games look and run as good as possible, even if that may not match the original hardware. As such they include a lot of mechanisms to deal with shortcomings of the PS, like its rendering mechanisms, slowdowns, resolution and so on.

>>3427842
You can run Mednafen at higher resolution via the fork in Retroarch.
It's extremely CPU intensive so don't expect more than x2.

>>3427406
Fucking shit says "configuration not OK" after I add the plugins and bios, only link cable is the one blank yet previous versions of pcsxr work fine, what a piece of shit.

Is there a way to correct the geometry but to leave 2D elements alone? I'm trying to play breath of fire 3 with this on a tube TV through a VGA cord & it looks like ass.

Is this only meant for 100% 3D games?

>>3427410
Nice try. The image from the right is from the n64 version.

>>3427406
I still find it odd how Silent Hill 1 wasn't ported to PC, but all the other games were. 5th gen was THE gen with the most console/PC overlap, while 6th gen was the one with the least.

>>3427694

PGXP is a fork of PCSXR. It uses OGL 1.78 and OGL2 plugins found in epsxe and pcsxr. So the accuracy is decent. The main appeal is the new features.

>>3427801
>Didn't mednafen had this feature?

No. Medanfen is just native res + software rendering. It has no enhancements. Beetle-libretro, the fork for RetroArch has some enhancements but no texture perspective correction.

>Also i can't see any god damned difference.

Look at harry's face, the fence, the roof of the building behind him, or the bricks to the right. See >>3427410 for a more extreme example.

>>3427895
>but to leave 2D elements alone?

You mean the texture filtering? It does xbr filtering by default. You can turn it off entirely or use bilinear filtering. It's in the .ini config.

Why would you want to break the original designer's vision?

They knew how the ps1 messed with lines so they designed tye look of the game with this in mind.

>>3427406
Don't like it, doesn't look good in motion, you can see how it struggles to fix the textures.

Plus it's retro gaming, what kind of pleb doesn't like texture stretching and flickering?

I never liked it.

>>3428530
Yeah, in that game it does.

Check out the playlist in OP, you can see black spots everywhere where its trying to fix the geometry, it takes you right out of the game.

It's a product of its time so it doesn't bother me.

>>3428543
>you can see black spots everywhere where its trying to fix the geometry,

That's because it's incomplete. The plugin is being worked on and improved all the time. When a game does not work perfectly with it, some geometry is fixed, some isn't. This leads to black gaps.

>>3428543
>It's a product of its time so it doesn't bother me.
That's fine, but other people want to use emulators to make improvements.

>>3427873

that's the keyword here. It's forked. Original mednafen doesn't do it, and the author made clear they have no intentions to change that

Noooooo, you think?

Is there a ps1 emulator that plays the ps1 intro every time you start a game? This is important.

>>3429897
This has to do with the bios, look for info regarding an original PS1 Bios as there are now generic ones (legal too in a sense for epsxe)

>>3429897
pSX plays the BEEEEEOOOOWWWWWW instantly everytime you run the emulator. It's also a non-enhancement emulator so it's pretty faithful and requires no setup other than controller mapping.

Okay, so how does Megaman Legends look on the emulator? I'm kinda lazy to do the setup right now can anyone compare Legends 1 &2 ? I was gonna play the game on the original PsONE or Ps3 hardware (for upscaling), but you guys just wreked the whole deal so now I need some answers...

>>3430146
this has always been my favorite emulator to use for playstation games, but it seems to get shit on cause its discontinued and doesn't work with everything.

Like every other emulator.

>>3430857
There are two ways to develop an emulator.

One is, to give it the rough functions it needs, then throw a ROM at it. It will break instantly, but that's fine. You fix what's broken, use the ROM again, it breaks elsewhere. You keep doing that a couple thousand times. Eventually the ROM will work fully. So you take the next ROM, see what works. Probably a lot, because the feature set required overlaps a lot between ROMs. So you just fix the remainng broken shit. The advantage of this approach is that you have something running at good performance very quickly.

The other approach comes from a different direction. At first you implement all aspects of the emulated machine as precisely as possible. That is, you pay attention to clock cycles, synching the CPUs, bus widths and all that shit. When you're done with it, your emulator can, theoretically, run every single ROM the orginal machine can handle. However, since the implementation was straightforward, it is not optimized for performance. Unless you're emulating a very old system, you'll likely have issues with running the thing in realtime. You may not like it, but as far as an emulator is concerned, it's "done". Realtime is often not as much a requirement as all the other features. Regardless, once you're at this point, you can indeed invest some time in refactoring the emulator. That is, you keep all the functions it has, but rewrite them here and there to get rid of bottlenecks. What are bottlenecks? You measure them, by running a debug build of your emulator.

The endgame of these approaches is similar, yet not identical. The first approach will run most stuff, sometimes better than the original hardware. It may rely on hacks, but it works, and most of the time, that's the only thing that matters to people using it to play games. The second approach simply relies on host hardware gaining performance over time. Hardware has historically become more powerful, that is likely to last.

>>3430870
what I couldn't fit in that post: The first approach is usually by people who want the old programs to work, that's their goal. If they can make it work better, even cooler. The second approach is preferred by people that want to replicate the hardware. That, of course, such a replication happens to be able to run all programs is an inevitable result, but not necessarily the goal. As such, whether you may like it or not, the realtime aspect, while desirable, is not considered a requirement to these people.

>>3430870
Here is the thing.
ePSXe has interpreter AND dynamic recompiler.
You want accuracy, you switch to interpreter, you want speed, you switch to dynarec.
With epsxe either option provides good compatibility and performance but dynarec provides performance superior to every other emulator on PC or android at the same time being the most compatible and playable emulator on either platform.

You can make the most accurate emulator ever but if its not playable for majority of people then its not worth shit for anyone but you.
As for epsxe accuracy, it can play front mission 3 without crashes and at 60 fps on a tablet I bought for $50.

EPSXE is a scam

>>3430889
>You want accuracy, you switch to interpreter, you want speed, you switch to dynarec.
it's never this simple. You can write a basic interpreter, or a really sophisticated one, trying to replicate the CPU as closely as possible. You can also JIT the code into something that behaves fairly closely to the original. There's no need for a recompiler to be shallow

>You can make the most accurate emulator ever but if its not playable for majority of people then its not worth shit for anyone but you
No, if it's not playable in realtime it's useless to people that use emulators to play, which sucks, but is not the end of the world, or the project. It's still highly valuable to people that enjoy tinkering with the hardware, running a debugger, homebrewing and much more. Emulators are not all about playing games. I personally don't do any of these things on most emulators, though I do use one for development (different system). Just because it won't cover your usecase, don't dismiss it.

>>3430420
I like messing with the register values in the debugger.

>>3430896

Like, here is a piece of software that is arguably the best at what it does and we give it for free, I am not seeing how I am being scamed righ here.

>>3430889
>As for epsxe accuracy, it can play front mission 3 without crashes and at 60 fps on a tablet I bought for $50.
That's not accurate though FM3 crashes on actual playstation hardware

>>3430941
Not once happened to me on actual ps tho.
On other emulators it is crashing constantly or run like ass, on pcsxr there is even some fucking bug where if you destroy wanzer which has legs already destroyed you will encounter a crash, on pcsxr core for retroarch or android version of retroarch FM3 just crashing randomly during battles.
On epsxe, it runs on android or PC on a fucking calculator full speed and not even crashing.

Say what you want but epsxe team did awesome job with this emu and currently there is no better emulator plain and simple.
It has all, stability, performance, accuracy and plugin support, shame they dropped W32 but whatever.

Can someone clarify for me? So the left image is the true resolution of FFT and the right is how it shows up on crt?

>>3432543
lots of different PSX games have different resolutions, so the left isnt always accurate.

>>3432586
Yeah, I was specifically asking for FFT. Do all PSX games get stretched to 640x480 when played on crt?

>>3432543
>>3432597
>518x480 vs 640x480
Aside from that resolution being off of what the PS1 could do, the left looks way too thin. Admittedly, I've played maybe 15 minutes of FFT.

I have a feeling it was running in 320x240 mode rather than 256x240, which even that doesn't match.

>>3432604
Left is supposed to be 512x480. Left may look thin but the pixels are perfect squares. Isn't that how it's intended to be played and not stretched out?

File: DSC03456s.jpg (4MB, 5472x3648px) Image search: [Google]

4MB, 5472x3648px

>>3432623
Pixels are not always implicitly perfect squares, especially when you're dealing with analog video and retro video game consoles.
PS1 apparently has a PAR(pixel aspect ratio) of 8:7 when in 256px mode, and one of 32:35 in 320px mode. That would mean not only would the pixels be slightly wider for the left, but they would also be stretched to fit the standard CRT's 4:3 display aspect ratio. In turn, they'd be thinner for the right

Looking around a bit, the left is indeed the correct technical aspect ratio, but not being displayed as intended. The right in turn is too stretched out.

>Do all PSX games get stretched to 640x480
CRTs don't do resolutions in the same way that digital, fixed pixel displays do.
An SD CRT would take the 256x240 output of the PS1(the proper resolution of FFT) and display it AS 256x240; Only being stretched to fit it's 4:3 aspect ratio. The image itself is wider, but it's still the original 256x240 resolution.

For the proper output as you'd get on an actual PS1 and CRT, you'd want to have the left image stretched to match the aspect ratio of the right. Possibly an issue for fixed pixel displays, and may require some horizontal blurring to deal with the extra pixels required to do that without making everything look like shit.
Using a higher resolution could help to mitigate those issues.

>>3431049
I can't see any difference on that pic. Also, what game is that? Looks like a FF game but that background is ridiculously low res. Is that what it's like?

>>3432543
That ground "texture" reminds me of Mario RPG.

really hyped to play the objectively poorest generation of games when you forgo all the hype of great sales the system had back when gaming was extremely primitive and your tastes in video games were also shit because you were much younger.

You will have a very hard time seeing differences. The only things that can show differences are polygons that are not planar with the screen. That is, any polygons on the characters. However, these polygons are very small, so any distortion is likely minimal. It's a really bad screenshot to show the effect

>>3432865
>>3433247
It's a zoomed in picture of Chrono Cross which uses pre-rendered backgrounds. Admittedly, games that use 3D models overlayed on pre-rendered backgrounds are probably the games that benefit most of all from this such thing, but it's my opinion that in games that use fully 3D environments and models, smoothing the edges of the polygons and correcting the non-planar texture warp only draws attention excessively to the existing low poly and low res assets, while leaving the distortions as they are, and displaying in the original resolution/aspect ratio maintains a sort of gritty surreality that fully absolves the visuals of any sort of uncanny valley or mismatch.

There are a few games that benefit from a hardware improvement however i.e. playing Vagrant Story on a PS3

>>3433271

least. The effects of the fix are in the pixel range, invisible unless you create a direct diff of the images

>draws attention excessively to the existing low poly and low res assets
a lot of people like them. Your post assumes that low poly is shit

>hardware improvement however i.e. playing Vagrant Story on a PS3
where's the improved hardware? Aren't PS games fully emulated on that thing?

>>3433297
>a lot of people like them. Your post assumes that low poly is shit
I think you're misinterpreting what I said? I stated that arbitrarily enhancing the display resolution and making use of better hardware to display the low poly with cleaner edges is a detriment to it's overall aesthetic
>where's the improved hardware? Aren't PS games fully emulated on that thing?
The PS3 makes some subtle enhancements that are impossible on the original hardware. it tends to look okay because they never really go overboard.
>least. The effects of the fix are in the pixel range, invisible unless you create a direct diff of the images
the fact that it's a small difference is what makes it acceptable to me, it seems that it fixes the inaccuracies that show up when a detailed model is significantly zoomed out, which I find to be desirable in this case

>>3433327
>it seems that it fixes the inaccuracies that show up when a detailed model is significantly zoomed out
it doesn't. The function acts on the textures, not the vertices. If your vertices are only a few pixels apart, there's very little this function can do

That doesn't seem right to me. Console/PC overlap was rare in the '80s, began to spread in the '90s (Tomb Raider, Doom, even Mortal Kombat and Final Fantasy), was everywhere in the '00s and is now so nearly ubiquitous that the term "Exclusive" is meaningless.

I'm glad to see stuff like this happening. But I hope accuracy emulation doesn't die as a result. It's important for games to be able to work in their original forms in order to have accurate data about them for future generations and for continued work on other emulators.

That said, it's really nice to see emulation that make older games look cleaner. I would kill for a modern game like Silent Hill 1 again.

>>3430873
That seems strange. I've heard plenty of opinions for the second camp stating that they want games to run realtime properly, but ACCURATELY. As in, at the original speed that the hardware provided.

Usually the first camp is the first to get working emulators because that's the easiest, but most trial and error way of making emulators. But the second camp is far more accurate and stable but obviously requires more overhead by the computers. Most emulators past PS1 aren't possible to be completely accurate as it would require computers years ahead of our time.

But theoretically it's still possible to make emulators of even the PS4 and Xbox One on modern systems if you just use the trial and error fix method because you're specifically running code to optimize for each game instead of truly emulating the hardware.

>>3434693
>I've heard plenty of opinions for the second camp stating that they want games to run realtime properly, but ACCURATELY
indeed. Accurate first, realtime second. They won't dismiss realtime, but it's not their priority. It's almost shades of grey, instead of simple black and white

>>3434535
>IT WAS MEANT TO LOOK JITTERY AND NAUSEA INDUCING

So I should either blind myself or play every older game to death while CRTs still exist. OK

>>3435392
Not really suggesting that (though it really helps if you play the game utilizing the latter choice) but if you think either option is fine, then go ahead. Whatever floats your boat :^)

ePSXe can do that startup thing with the "-slowboot" command line option.

I have ePSXe and it looks identical to the image on the right, no idea what you people are talking about.

Rendered at a lower resolution with the model closer to the screen, and the geometry still isn't right. Plus, look at the textures on the wall on the right.

>>3440346
So how do I fix what you described?

>>3440351
By using PGXP. ePSXe's GTE hack doesn't so as good a job as PGXP, and it doesn't have texture correction.

>>3440356
But I have numerous saves in my games on ePSXe.

The first video in the playlist is not on real hardware. Holes do not happen on real hardware, because vertices are used for multiple triangles. No matter what pixel a vertex snaps to, it affects all triangles using that vertex. Even if a triangle or two disappear, their space is then taken up by the adjacent triangles. The holes are a result of the subpixel positioning introduced in PGXP

So I got my GL2Tweak plugin and everything working but some of the models still seem to be jittering when it's just standing there, is this normal? Is my PGXP thing not working?

>>3443398
Okay nevermind. I just tried it with the untweaked plugin and it's a fucking earthquake in my window. So my question now, is PGXP not supposed to eliminate 100% of the jitter?

>>3443398
I have no idea, I don't know what all that techno babble in the ini is. Is there a guide?

nothing to do with the pgxp emulator, but it's ps1 emulator related.
I'm using a wireless ps3 controller when I'm playing. Are there any programs that can link the escape key to my controller?

>Can I map [keyboard key] to my controller?
Yes

>I want it to be a combo button trigger
No, but just do it like my screenshot and map it to your PS button if you aren't using it already.

It's called DS3 Tool. Remember MotionInJoy? Remember how it's chinese malware? You are meant to download MotionInJoy and use it to install the device driver only then dump it in the trash immediately. Then you use DS3 Tool to substitute it when you interface with it.

DS3 Tool allows you to create from the following templates:
>DirectInput
>XInput
>Keyboard/Mouse
>PCSX2

I highly recommend you to create your preset from the Keyboard/Mouse profile because it includes gamepad buttons, axes AND keyboard keys altogether, oddly enough.

>>3443446
Holy shit! It was just under my nose the entire time. I already have DS3 Tool, but I've followed the guides online and used xinput instead of keyboard/mouse mapping. Thanks alot. I could kiss you!
Also fuck motionjoy. I downloaded only the driver from a zip file and installed it myself

>>3443446
l3 and r3 are button 9 and 10 right?

>>3443495
Yes, but you can make them any number you want, the pool goes up to 20 buttons.

>>3443483
Note that you can also use DS3 Tool to convert trigger axes to digital buttons in case triggers don't get recognized in modern PC games.

>>3443502
ok how to I make the emulator find my controller when it's not xinput anymore?

>>3443513
There's no reason why your emulator needs to "find" your controller, unless you are using an XInput plugin for the emulator. Just use a regular plugin. If shit doesn't work for no reason, close the emulator, open DS3 Tool and apply your profile again to be safe.

Is it me or are rhythm games unplayable on emulator? My timing always seems a bit off and I don't remember having this much trouble when playing on console.

>>3444129
rhythm games suffer the most from lag as their input happens well below reaction time. They rely on the input being "synched" to the output (music and visual clues). Usually the beat maps on rhythm games are tuned to account for any delay the system itself may have. So on an emulator you may be constantly off by a ms or two. You can still beat it by intentionally going off-beat, doing your input just a tiny bit earlier. But that's not the purpose of a rhythm game, so do it on your own risk

>>3444129

Yes. There's tons of ways lag is added in emulation.

LCDs themselves add a lot. People often use wireless controllers. Emulation tends to add lag. etc.

>>3444236
>LCDs themselves add a lot. People often use wireless controllers
both are standard on the actual systems, where the games work fine. That's not the problem. The problem is entirely
>Emulation tends to add lag
and not because that lag is so massive (it isn't) but because the game does not compensate for it

>>3440814
Nice job, anon

>>3444240
>>3444236
>>3444129
>>3444140
I don't know about lag, but since emulators often take shortcuts to emulate a certain function instead of emulating it exactly how the original hardware would do it along with the exact timing of said hardware, there are timing differences that are very noticable with rhythm games.

>>3446159
that's never the case except in very few very crappy HLE implementations. Accounting for CPU timing is one of the first things you do in an emulator, because a lot of stuff relies on cycle counting and synching between components

Does this support increasing the framerate above 60? I like to play games at faster speeds sometimes.

Just tried it on ace combat 2. Visibility is clearly improved at far distances, and normally the entire ground would wobble. It's all gone now. I'm pretty impressed.

>>3447417
Emulation framerates are not like PC game framerates, you can't just push it as high as it will go. Emulation framerates only go up to 100%. Emulator CPU overclocking is for pushing framerates to 100% (60 fps) if it's a variable framerate game that drops all over the place. If the game was made to be locked to 30 fps, overclocking won't push it further than that, and may break the game if anything. At the most basic level you could make games run at 60 fps, but it would make the game run twice as fast.

>>3447798
I'm talking about gamespeed. Took the liberty of trying it and it's possible by increasing the fps limit above 60 in the gfx section. game speed increases. old slow games become fresh again

>>3447802
If that's what you want then sure, but music playback could be an issue.

>>3430961

That's disingenuous. No man works solely by the sweat of his own brow and all that is produced and toiled at is a culmination of a complex network of all men. And that network strives to make life better for all in the network.

Why should one man use the knowledge and support of all men to develop the tools and technology to benefit all men and then tell other men they cannot benefit from the history of mankind and that it is his own to keep?

As for this
>It belongs to everyone!
That man is a part of the group everyone. He is also entitled to the sweat of others brow in kind and he has done so to produce his own work. Almost never is a man isolated from the assistance of humanity.

How do I get this to work?

I already have PCSX-R, use it all the time to emulate PS1 games. I followed the first link in the youtube vid, downloaded the most recent build, then dropped the .exe into my main PCSX-R folder, and the two other files into the plugins folder.

Now I run the game through the PCSXR-PGXP exe, set the gpu plugin to peteopenGL2 tweaks 2.4, and now I'm trying to play but I'm getting really wild graphic errors.

Here's a screenshot of my graphics config.

>>3434238

Lower x/y resolution in increments until it stabilizes.
Lower texture filtering.

So my controller stopped working randomly. When I view my controller layout in the options, I can assign buttons like normal (I'm using a wired PS3 controller, non-official), but nothing works in game.

This controller has worked just fine until now. I've been tearing my hair out trying to fix it, using different controller plugins.

Anyone got any suggestions? I'd like to try out Fear Effect and Silent Hill with PGXP

its kind of impressive how pretty psx games looked beneath the stuttering cat vomit texture shit desu. though I s'pose you're also getting a resolution and anti-aliasing boost.

>>3453329
Either press F5 to get out of analog mode in games that don't use it (or just switch off Dualshock in plugins), or you are using simulated bios instead of using bios/ps-20a.bin like you should be. Most likely that, since it happened to me too in Ridge Racer Revolution.

>>3453423
So, you were right. My bios was set to "Set PSX bios", so I set it to SCPH1001.BIN (which I'm pretty sure was what it was set to before).

Now it hangs on the logo screens (KCET logo for Silent Hill). Any ideas? Thanks for your help before, btw.

>>3453474

Get ps-20a.bin and see if it changes anything. And make the plugin use a digital pad for troubleshooting.

>>3453234

I'm usually not a fan the "the way the developers intended" meme but the before picture looks better

>>3457043
Not it looks differently worse. The perspective straightening is better on the right and the BRx muddy texture filtering is worse. Both sides are bad for different reasons.

>>3457315
Yeah I just noticed the xBRZ filtering can be disabled from this thread. Fixes all those weird 2D issues.

It obviously isn't as perfect in motion but it does go a long way to making many games look much better. Basically any game with a static camera angle looks much better. Dynamic cameras or general camera movement still has wiggle, but it's infinitely less pronounced. It's neat shit.

Know what... i actualy enjoy seeing such things on the web... but it would be great if a team totaly made a remastered of the original SH1 not the crappy reboot called Shattered Memories... a true remastered of the original game... i have a shit tons of gameplay hours on my PSP version of SH1... its an incredible feeling to have your favourite game in your pocket...but also it would be nice to have the game as a total HD remastered..with better graphics and everything

>>3458125

what's everything?
And what's better graphics?

well..idk.. updated soundtrack... ambience...

>>3458129

i mean a totaly new game.. new engine.. new graphics.. a better sound engine..realistic gun sounds...

>>3458134
It's called Shattered Memories.

>>3458134
>i mean a totaly new game
so why drag SH1 into this then?

>new engine.. new graphics.. a better sound engine
what's wrong with the existing ones?


It's incredibly easy to want "new" and "more", until one realizes just how much a game's impact hinges on how it is. You're suggesting so many changes for the sake of change, without even stopping for a second to think if anything is actually wrong with the game. In fact quite often more realism or complexity detracts from an actually good game. Sometimes imagination just provides the better visuals and sounds. Enjoy what you have, it's a good game. You know how many modern remakes, remasters and reimaginations look and play. They're shallow superficial shit that have little in common with the original game. You want that for SH? I'm quite sure you don't.
