It's also a testament to the quality of SE artists. The textures, as low res as they are, are really flawless. I try not to think about how amazing FFXIII is going to look like because who knows when it'll be out. But wow.

HOLY COW!!
The modeling and detailing is so intricate in FFXII!
God, my computer is so underpowered to handle this in any capacity, these pics are so hot!!

Wow, the DX10 plugin is quite a bit faster. Played a couple levels of Killer7, performance is much better. Though I tried to take some screenshots, and they came out poorly. Don't know why. Colors are wrong and textures are missing, even though that wasn't the case when I was playing the game.
I don't know how you guys are getting FFXII to work smoothly- I've got an E6400 (still on stock speed), 2GB RAM, and an X1950 Pro, and I get major problems with the opening movie. The one with the SE logo and clouds and things. It plays for ~ 2 seconds, lags for 2 seconds, and continues like this ad infinitum. I've changed settings, changed graphics plugins, set it to no AA, and even turned off sound emulation, and I still have problems. Ideas, anyone?

Are you using GSDx10?
Have you tried the newer public beta version of PCSX2?

Hm. Performance with this emulator varies greatly from game to game. Shadow of the Colossus is so slow as to be unplayable. Some graphical glitches too. MGS3, SH2 & 3 have big problems also.

Sounds like faithful emulation to me.

As I said, FMV is totally f*cked upright now using GSDx9/10. I don't have a DX10 card yet (scheming on an 8800GT), but those screenshots looked so awesome I had to post them here for NeoGAF to see.
Either way, use GSDx9/10, preferably GSDx10 if you can. Its much better for FFXII, and many other games. Also, its best to ISO up your disc and run the emulator off of the ISO.

Hell yes, you have a better CPU than kidling did, who made the screenshots I posted. I believe he had the same GPU, but his CPU was a Core 2 6550. Just do what I said in the last post. Also, he set the internal res in the plugin to 1920x1080.
Other than that, you should be good to go.
That depends on how SotC is written, but it's very likely that it will run at locked FPS with the right hardware and a mature emulator.Mamesj said:
Yeah, that's what I said a page ago. Merely thinking about FF13 makes me tingly.painey said:
This really is the best reason to upgrade to Vista.

Mamesj said:What part of "Work in progress" do you not understand?
its made by people who dedicate their free time to it. "sloppy" is a word better suited for $60 retail releases that suck ass. and sound is an issue in most emulators from the nes and snes to the PS1, and now this.
Yeah thats what I said :lol
I'm loving the progress they're making and realise it's a long way to go but right now the sound emulation is what separates this from being an usable emulator, no sound plugins is even near the great graphics plugins which is kind of strange imo. But perhaps sound really is harder to emulate for PS2.

Put your snobby liquids into my mouth!
Yeah, FFXII was really jagged and pixelated and that was because there was so much detail in the game, constrained by resolution. I mean, a flat surface would look OK in low resolution, but if you try to cram tons of little details there and then downscale it it will look like ass.painey said:

I've tried all of those except Espgaluda. They are plagued by slowdown and graphical glitches. Mushihime is the closest to playable. I don't think you'll get very far with that processor-- I was using a 2.66ghz core 2 duo w/ a 8800GTS 640mb and was getting bad results with those games.

Would be awesome to see God of War, SotC or SSX3 ( I have a feeling it would look amazing).

the gsdx10 plugin is the solitary reason for me to boot into vista right now, its marginally better than the dx9 version with less crashes and bugs and i think this must be the 1st time in history where dx10 is faster than dx9
final fantasy 12 is totally playable barring some sound looping and a few other bugs, awesome stuff.

I just finished having a bit of a conversation in the GSDx9 thread that revealed a tidbit of information I think some of you would be interested in hearing. Some of you have mentioned after I posted kidling's screenshots of FFX/FFXII using GSDx10 that there was finally a reason to run Vista and DX10 for some of you. I guess many of you forget what it was like when XP first came out and PC gamers were hanging onto 98, because it performed better.

Well, someone by the name of 'tuanming' on the GSDx9 thread about half an hour ago, did a comparison of XP x86 and x64, vs Vista x86. He only posted the XP64 pictures because he claims the performance was pretty much the same between the two, but Vista's framerate was much higher. At first, I thought the Vista screenshots were using GSDx10, not realizing he has a DX9 card. This shows a performance increase, even in DX9, under Vista.
I don't want to get into a whole tangent about XP vs Vista, DX9 vs Dx10, but the subject was brought up earlier by a number of you, and I thought you'd be interested to see this.
IMO, as I said, its all the same as it was when we transitioned from 98 to XP. We've yet to see a PC game made from the ground up for DX10 and Vista, and with Gabest's plugins being pretty recent code on recent compilers, this only shows what we are bound to see in the future.
BTW, he's not even using an Nvidia card, so there you have it. Higher performance no matter what.
Edit: tuanming just edited his post to show some Vista x64 numbers, and they are slower. The PCSX 2 devs did say the 64bit version of their emu was slower/broken, and even removed the download from the website, so thats probably the reasoning for the lesser performance.
Also, I've been posting a lot of screenshots of FFXII looking so great, with high fps on the counters, bu don't think everything about the game on the emu is as rosy. The FMV are al screwed up, and some places like Rabanastre and the liscense board drop the fps tremendously.

played through first 2 hours of ff12 seemed pretty dam good to me , dont care about the fmv i skip it all anyway it was just the sound looping that was annoying, ff10 is practically perfect.
also tried okami, last time i gave that a go it managed to get the title screen run at 5fps then crash , tried it this time and the sound is 100% perfect so far and the game runs 60fps locked with a few graphics glitches, mighty impressive.
