I can't get this to work.
I went to this page, http://www.pcsx2.net/guide.php?lang=en_US#Cdvd where they tell you how to configure reading the game from the DVD.
They say to "Select EFP Iso CDVD v0.6.0 and hit Configure," but there is no EFP Ico CDVD to select! Anyone else been able to get this going? Any help would be appreciated.

the 4mb edram has 48GBs of bandwidth which has no equivalent on a PC GPU like the 6800, there is no real way to emulate that bandwidth easily and accurately
the hardest parts to emulate quickly and accurately are the Vector Units (VU0 VU1) as these don't really have an equivalent on the PC
Do you really need to post this kind of comment in every thread remotely related to homebrew and anything that can be somehow used in an illegal way? You know, the internet, your computer and your steak knife can also be used to aid illegal activities. Yeah, I was shocked and appalled too when I heard it.Tideas said:

Eagerly awaiting the day when I can overclock the virtual PS2 so SotC runs with a perfect framerate.

I wondered if the EDRAM might be to blame, the bandwidth on that stuff is just silly. I presume that's also why they leave the GS in software-driven BC PS3s even after removing the EE?dogmaan said:
Nice. I had no idea there had been progress on this front. I don't like having to keep my SDTV hooked up, but most PS2 (and Wii) games look terrible on my HDTV, so this is one step closer to me being able to retire my old TV.
I do own 2 PS2s, and a PS3, so I have plenty of legal ways to play. None of them just currently meet my standards for satisfaction.

there's no difference whether you used backups or a game image, or simply reposted some 3rd guy's pics from another forum to display the progress of the emulator, so why bring this originals thing up in the first place?Mamesj said:

Even better, if posting screenshots is seriously raising ethical concerns for people, why bother to post screenshots at all? We all know it upscales, and that compatibility is hit and miss. Save us the shitstorm and just describe your experiences. Not that it really changes things, but maybe it will keep some people from bitching.
Going by the logic in the quoted posts, people should probably be posting images of their legit games, with themselves in the picture, with a little sign indicating who the person is every time they post impressions or screenshots of games. That's stupic bullshit. Fuck the stupid people saying WE CAN TALK ABOUT EMULATION NOW? OMG! It's usually pretty clear when lines have been crossed, and 95% of people here probably own PS2s in the first place. There are no ethical issues here unless people go about trying to create them. I suggest people that are offended by the discussion here go to some other thread and talk about shit that doesn't matter, like sales numbers and what not.

Back on topic, I'm currently spending my not-so-free time at work investigating how to install Ubuntu via Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro for the sole reason of trying this out. The possibility of portable PS2 emulation makes my privates tingle.

Well that one guy got banned a while ago for posting a topic about the CPS3 emulator, even though before that there were plenty of topics talking about CPS1/2/MVS emulation on the PSP, so if you don't enforce the rules regarding emulation consistently there's going to be some question as to what we can and can't talk about.White Man said:
Shadow Hearts 3 isn't the most popular game, but I played some of it recently and it's a mega jagfest on the PS2 and just screams "please upscale and give me AA."
Unfortunately, there are way too many glitches with this game using ZeroGS, so these screens were made with GSDX9. So maybe it'll look better if it's ever supported by ZeroGS.
Aspect ratio may be off, as the original screens were 1024x1024, but everything looked squished. So they've been stretched a bit.

thanks for those screencaps
I always find what these emulator developers do amazing (regardless of legality), I have been following pcsx2 from the beginning, and the progress they have made in the past 18 months is nothing short of amazing, you have to remember these guys have no official documentation for the ps2, so a lot of the developing is trial and error and talent.
Sony should seriously take a look at what these guys are doing, and take a leaf out of their book, if FFX can be emulated at full speed on an incomplete ps2 emulator at 1280x1024 with ansiotropic filtering and anti aliasing, there is no reason why sony can't do something similiar with the PS3 and all the neccesary technical documentation for the PS2
also here is an image I quite like, i found it on the PCSX2 official forums (ngemu.com)

Also as for legality of pictures, we could say anyone posting screenshots of PC games could potentially be using a pirate copy, I think this is a bad road to go down as people will end up having to post a picture of themselves holding the game and the receipt to prove they have the game, just to post screenshots, the people who should be reprimanded are the obvious pirates e.g. if someone posts "I just downloaded the BIOS for the emulator, where does it go?"

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I need to find my copy of the Japanese version of Victorious Boxers 2 so I can test this out.

I'm not really deeply invested in the ethical concerns about the subject, I just don't want to get banned. I know Eiji and Fatghost got banned in a CPS3 thread, so I didn't want to cross the line.
but since you're a mod, I'll take it that it's okay to discuss games and post screens.
well, on that note:
I cut off the right black bar to make the pic more postable. man, I wish I could play through the whole game with it looking like this. It was improved a lot since .9.3-- the audio sounds much better, and there aren't as many graphical glitches, though still a ton, particularly at school.
oh and that frame rate is with heavy skipping on. I wish it played at that speed!

Is there anyway I can play the PS2 remake of Phantasy Star II with a translated script?
Persona 3 looks good this way!
I really regret that DC emulation doesn't allow you to use the actual disks... I was able to disconnect my Saturn because its emulation is pretty great. I turned all of my actual games to disk images, and can load any game on a whim.. whilst leaving the original games unscathed and safe from harm. Its bliss! I wish it upon my Dreamcast as well..

I wish to God PS3 BC looked like this. I remember seeing surveys and such by Sony where they guage what people want to see in the upcoming firmware updates. Has there been anything on improving BC? I need a place where I can show these sample shots and tell them "hey, we want our games to look this good.". If the 60gb PS3 is the "premium" model, then having BC that looks like this would definetely boost sales, imo.
I want this more than in-game messaging.

I'm not booted into windows right now... but I'm pretty sure its called SSF. It has accurate emulation for most games I play.. and it allows me to use Sega's USB version of the Saturn controller with no problems.
The only Saturn game I really frequently still play is Digital Pinball: Necronomicon.. and that works great! It doesn't enhance the visuals in any way, but I don't need that.
Edit:
You can find it here: http://ssftribute.emuunlim.com/faq.php#what is SSF

If you have the broadband adapter, make your own backups. If you don't, you can do it with a serial cable (but it takes a lot of time).
If you don't want to make your own backups, consider the option of downloading the games via bittorrent and making sure to turn your upload speed to 0; downloading a 3rd party copy as a method of format shifting is not legally ruled on in any jurisdiction I'm aware of, but ethically as long as you're not uploading and you do own a copy of the game I don't see how you could have any problems. Obviously, though, if you have the broadband adapter, it's vastly preferable that you make your own rips to ensure the highest possible quality.

So who's going to do SotC?
dogmaan said:
Vertex Shader 3.0 units should be able to easily handle everything VU0 and VU1 can do (vertex shaders are just fancy vector processors) PS2 could actually do more than VS1.x and do quite a few VS2.x effects just as well as graphics chips can do them. Problem is they were tasked with 100% of the graphics work, and there werent resources left to USE alot of those effects. As for edram bandwidth, there wont always be a need for the full amount of that bandwidth, and unless you are using an interpreter instead of a recompiler, other methods can be used to emulate the required amount of bandwidth without actually HAVING that amount of bandwidth (it would have to be done nearly on a per-game basis in the emulator code itself).
gcfan2k5 said:
vertex shaders aren't vector units, i dont think vertex shaders, or most GPU's are turing complete, I doubt you would be able to emulate a VU efficiently in a shader program
as for the bandwidth for the GS, that can be gotten around by hacks, texture compression etc, but the goal of PCSX2 is to make the most accurate PS2 emulator available.
