EDIT 2: 0x, 1x, and 2x work fine but 4x causes the crashing during cutscenes but performance during gameplay is basically the same between all 4.

Huh, interesting. I suppose there's a reason that HW AA is a hack and not a normal graphics option... I'll put a note about it in the Config. I haven't seen any documentation about the setting online, so I'm really interested in other people's experiences with the compatibility and performance of hardware AA in the emulator.

Nice.

subbed for later use. Thanks!~

Awesome OP, has any of you tried Rogue Galaxy, does it work?

Cool got it to work well. Played some of my FF12 Zodiac for the first time lol (I dont know why I import games I cant play -.-)

Streamed a bit here to test if that would work and did.

Any Persona 4 configs?

Excellent thread! Looking forward to seeing the various recommendations.

Great thread. Looking forward to a nice MGS3 Subsistence config.

Anybody got a good config for DarkCloud 2, in the town i get some massive slowdown.

Great thread. Not sure if I'll be posting any configs myself, but I will definitely check this thread from time to time, to help out where I can.

Default settings should do fine.

Is it widely known that GT4 runs like shit? There's crazy slowdown everywhere :(

However, Virtua Racing from Sega Classics runs fine. If one runs well, so should another!*

*Sarcasm, gents :)

Incredible op!

Most games work great provided you have a reasonably new pc and are willing to fiddle around, so the config settings will help alot of people, bravo

I assume this thread will work for config problem too? I got graphic glitch with San Andreas. I'm not changing the config or anything. here's some pic
[IMG]http://i53.************/1z5rb02.jpg[/IMG]
you can see some ghost like image overlayed on top of the game. any ideas how to fix it?

Why not play the PC version of San Andreas instead of spending energy on setting up a non-stable emulated version?

I bought san andreas from steam and mapping the control to my dualshock is quite annoying =(

haha, so fiddling around with an emulator is not? Does not fempute.

Too bad though. Unfortunately I cannot help you. If you want to give your PC version of GTA: SA another try, download Xpadder and assign the appropriate buttons.

Could definitely use some help with Def Jam: Fight For New York.

Running a i7-920 @ 3.5ghz, 6gb ram, ATI 6950, and even though fps says 55-fps, the game feels really slow and jerky.

The defaults worked fine for me and the person above me.

THIS

and cant wait to get home and post my awesome (IMO) setup for 1080p Okami!

This isn't subbed, this is bookmarked! Thanks OP will be experimenting with this soon.

Try the basics: disable frameskipping, and activate the speedhacks, starting by the recommended ones and slowly increasing them until you're good.

Very nice!
As soon as I get a better PC I'm using the shit out of this thread.

great op.
i'm going to try P4.

Nice! Are you planning to patch the image with English text? The patched IZJS works in PCSX2 just as well as any other version of FF12.


No prob, enjoy P4 and FF12, they run great and are awesome games to boot. :P

Y'mean upload a Lilypad config or something? It's pretty easy to set up a controller with either PAD plugin, and I'm not sure how useful a config made with my converter would be...


Is there ghosting when running it at native resolution? What about with a software renderer?

Maybe try running it on the newest SVN possible and seeing if any of the GSdx hacks, like Skipdraw, help at all.

Holy shit it has english text patch now? Guess I'll do that once I get home. Thanks

Any tips for getting Ridge Racer V running well?

It seems to have a lot of issues when I attempt to use it. Would love to see the game running in high resolution at 60 fps without any odd hitches or other issues.

It has for quite a while, lol

Can anyone post a config for Tekken Tag please?

So what is SSE4a? I have SSE4.1 and 4.2. Is this an AMD and Intel thing?

I have a SB2500K and I have MMX and all the SSE's except that 4a I seen in an earlier post.

well, I haven't fooled around with the emulator too much. I just try steam version, have hard time changing the controller so I tried ps2 emulator, leave it to default or standard setting and found the graphic glitch. just wonder if there's a fix for the glitch.

I'll google for xpadder later, thanks

there's ghosting with native res too, I even try the other gpu plugin, zero something plugin and it still have ghosting

hmm, i think i may have to try this emulator. any configs for RE4?

Subbed. My current card (gt9600gso) can handle a good bit, but once my 5870 arrives can't wait to try it out.

I have speedhacks enabled, and the other recommended hacks as well. Everything else is default settings I'm pretty sure. Oh, and I'm running 1280x720 internal resolution.

The game runs badly for the initial village scene but after that runs full speed most of the time. If your CPU is better than mine (and it probably is) you should have even better results.

Got the translation working tho, not bad. Makes the game interesting now haha.

Good to hear

I have that game and it's the buggiest game of all that I've tried. Artifacts and odd glitches in opening cinematic. When I go into a race, it runs at like 10fps and slow motion.

Speaking of Persona 4, how do the Digital Devil Saga games run? I've been thinking of picking them up since I never played them.

why is there a PS2 emulation but not a PSP emulation? been looking for one and only found JCPSP. sorry if off topic

My laptop (i3 330m, 4gb ram, 5650m) is just good enough to run Persona 4 perfectly with speed hacks turned on. DDS2 however, isn't there yet and goes down to ~40 fps in towns. Since my laptop is pretty crappy, you should have no problems if you have a competent machine.

OMG, just read about the ability to patch FFXII Zodiac with an English patch!! Anyone done this? I'm 30 hours into a second play-through of vanilla FFXII, but would turn right around and start another one if this works well. I'd need to buy a copy of Zodiac edition (Play Asia?) to do it, but would LOVE to try out that version of the game.

Yes, the patch works. I have a couple friends that played through the entire game with the patch on pcsx2.

As for the massive amount of info from the old thread, hopefully that all comes here in a more organized fashion.



It's......been a mess. They HAD such support, but it didn't work out. And actually, if I remember correctly, was actually slower. These days, CPUs are so much faster per core, that it's not so much about throwing more CPU cores at the problem. However, the GSDX plugin has made good use of quad core CPUs for a while now, via the software mode. This requires a quad core CPU.

But isn't gsdx usually better in hardware mode?

I tried the DDS games and Nocturne, but the movie cut-scenes don't play so I decided to just play them on my PS2. I don't know if its just those games or my laptop, because Persona 4 works fine and plays its cut-scenes fine.

The screen just turns black and I had to manually skip the scenes. I unfortunately don't have the disc on me so I can't go into more detail and I already deleted the iso I made of it, due deciding to just play it on my PS2.

I'm using the "Balanced" preset and 3X native resolution and I haven't had any problems yet. i7 920 and a Radeon 4870 512mb.
