PCSX2 - Excellent PS2 emulation, support improving all the time!

Hey guys, having a little trouble getting my Dualshock 3 controller to play nice with PCSX2. I have Motion Joy enabled with Playstion 3 settings enabled, and lilypad recognizes the controller and all of the buttons when in test mode, but when I try to map certain buttons like the analog sticks and R2 and L2 it doesn't recognize it or just generally confuses games during emulation. I noticed that in the lilypad plugin "native dualshock 3 mode" (I think thats what it's called) is greyed out. Is there a place I can find the libusb driver for Windows 7 64 bit, or is this not necessary? I'm booting the OS to load unsigned drivers as well. This is pretty frustrating. Thanks for any help!
I'm using a PS2-to-USB adapter from Speedlink:ACE 1991 said:

I still had an old DS2 kicking around and the usb adapter can be found for 5eur. Works like a charm under Win7/64bit, it came with a signed driver that also supports rumble. The DS2 is now permanently connected to my PC. Its d-pad is also godly for indie games, etc.

Copy your PS2 save to a flash drive. Hook that up to your PC, copy to game save location. Profit?TheExodu5 said:

I have, even with bluetooth, but I had a problem similar to this because I had my PS2 controller to USB hub connected, I had to remove it to get the dualshock working. Maybe it has problems when you have more controllers connected.
After removing that hub, I used even 3 controllers at the same time (1 BT, 2 by USB cable).

You'll need either Codebreaker or ActionReplay for that.
I recommend Codebreaker. AR's memory card manager is kinda untrustworthy. It corrupted my memory card and apparently it's not a rare occurrence.

I don't see why not, as long as you have the appropriate BIOS. I've been able to play both PAL and NTSC discs using PCSX2, with no problems.

can this emulator also play PSone games? I'm looking to play my copy of Policenauts, and would like to see it in higher-resolution.

Is there any reason you don't want to use a PS1 emulator?Superblatt said:

I was looking forward to replaying this but unfortunately the cutscenes are buggy and part of the interface is missing (switching to software mode fixes the cutscenes and makes the full interface appear but it looks like crap). Aside from those issues, the game runs great at 1920x1080 with a constant 60 fps.

How can you even look at this without immediately noticing how shitty the stretched aspect ratio makes it lookROBOKITTYZILLA said:

It honestly doesn't bother me that much, though some games are worse than others. This screen should be kinder to your sensibilities:

I wish that game got an english translation
Same here. I wish Atlus or some other company would have jumped on that one. On the bright side, most of the menus are in English and Japanese and if you read the Manga you pretty much know what is going on.

cool. thanks.
I keep getting "the graphics plugin has failed to initialized/open" error message, and I don't know why. Also, pretty much all games I try to run run slowly. Could it be my laptop? Here are my specs:
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1gb
4gb DDR3 RAM
Core i7 Q 720 @ 1.60GHz

Could you post what settings and plugins you used for this?

hide your water-based mammals
GSdx 4336 for the GS/graphics. Sound and other stuff matter less so I won't list those.LocoMrPollock said:
The settings in the individual plugin are DX11 (hardware), 3x native scaling, texture filtering and allow 8-bit textures. There really isn't any special magic happening. Sorry for the late response.
Start from scratch and add the 1 plugin you need at a time. I had a hard time getting things going but it worked out with some trial and error. you on .9.7 (r3878)?ACE 1991 said:
The most important one is probably the GS one. It won't even load it so it's not really your laptop causing that. Get it to run first then see how to play with it.

Did you configure the path/s?ACE 1991 said:
And I assume you have all the necessary stuff like the bios and such?

Alright GAF, so it seems like older games are pretty much all that my laptop (look a couple posts up for my specs) can play. I tried Okami and Viewtiful Joe 2, and both have major slowdown when a lot of things are going on on-screen. Is this fixable? It seems that when my FPS counter drops below 40, significant slowdown occurs. FFX seems to be the most playable game I own, but even still some combat sequences drop below 40 and have some highly noticeable slowdown. Wish I could fix this, my laptop is pretty decent so I feel like some PS2 games should be more than playable.
EDIT: Also, changing the resolution, higher or lower, doesn't seem to affect FPS at all. Weird.

The problem is all the focus on multi-core, which is why CPUs aren't *that* much better at doing PS2 now than they were a few years back. Had we had some 4GHz+ single core CPUs, they'd easily be able to do PS2 games at full speed IMO.
infinityBCRT said:
Actually, PCSX2 uses dual-core.
Furthermore, getting 4GHz+ CPUs isn't that easy. It's really not much easier now than it was 4 years ago. There's simply a frequency barrier that is hard to pass at this point. Electrons become too unstable in these tiny transistors at such high frequencies unless they are very cool, and have sufficient voltage.
But either way, CPUs today are much, much faster than they were a few years ago. Sandy Bridge is far more efficient than Core 2 Duo. Clock for clock, Sandy Bridge is about 40% faster than Core 2 Duo. They also run very cool, which means they can be overclocked quite a bit. 4.6-5.0GHz will give you a processor that's over double the speed of the first generation overclocked Core 2 Duos.
Decided to finally try out how Final Fantasy X runs on PCSX2 but I'm running into some issues. Everything works just fine, game emulates perfectly, but there is a slight sound desync during cutscenes, or at least it looks that way.
And I don't really remember it being noticable on an actual PS2 so.
