Insane For Sony
Perhaps the physics are running at only 30FPS or something.sp0rsk said:

Wow, I wasn't aware there was a PS2 emulator so far into development
Does anyone know if it's possible to transfer save files between the PS3 and the Emulator on the PC? With my PSX emulator I transfer my saves between my PC and my PSP (since I mostly play PSX games on my PSP) without any issues simply using a converter and an exporter out of pops.
Since I often times lug my PS3 around with me on trips and not my PC. I'd hate to have my saved files tied down at home on my desktop computer since my laptop couldn't dream of emulating PS2 with its video card.

This seems to act a bit weirder than older versions. Old versions slightly slower than normal, but it was at a constant slow. This runs incredibly smooth at points, then suddenly slows down at random points.

Try changing the graphics plugins and bios, usually one of those thats the problem.

it's because of the gsdx plugin. you need to have the latest gfx drivers and some directx dlls.

So what's the excuse that Sony uses on why we don't have Software Emulation BC? This emulation here seems pretty good and I'm sure they don't have the know how of the machine that Sony engineers have.

PCSX2, for good performance, requires both a better video card/GPU than the PS3 has, and just in general, more general CPU horsepower than the PS3 can provide. However, Sony is able to 'cheat' since it is their hardware, they know everything about it. But consider where their software emulation is now, and where PCSX 2 truly is. There may be lots of high res high framerate shots in this thread of games running well, but many more games don't work acceptability even if you had a CRAY supercomputer. God of War seems to only work in software mode in GSdx.
You tried messing with the plugins settings yet? Maybe the BIOS is wrong. I'm curious to see how FFXII runs on that PC. Please make pics if you can get it to work!Jirotrom said:i cant get this to run...

I just made a post at the forum, but I'll post it here in case one of you can offer some tips.
As you might remember, I posted a bit back with help on getting the PS2 emulator to work. Well I'm coming back to you months later with some upgraded system specs as well as updating the emulator and plugins, so hopefully I'm just a few clicks away from getting a nearly perfect PS2 game running off this thing.
First, my system specs:
OS Name Microsoft® Windows Vista Ultimate
Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001
System Type x64-based PC
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, 3000 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date Award Software International, Inc. F5, 7/16/2008
SMBIOS Version 2.4
Windows Directory C:\Windows
System Directory C:\Windows\system32
Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume1
Locale United States
Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.0.6001.18000"
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB
Total Physical Memory 4.00 GB
Available Physical Memory 2.25 GB
Total Virtual Memory 8.22 GB
Available Virtual Memory 6.31 GB
Page File Space 4.29 GB
I downloaded the latest version of PCSX2 (0.94). I'm using the following Plugins:
On the graphics plugin I'm using the following settings (the resolution is 1920x1080, with my PC hooked up to my '40 LCD):
On the CD/DVD plugin I'm using the following settings:
I tried Silent Hill 4 and FFXII and actually managed to get them running, but with a few issues that I hope you can help resolve.
Those issues are:
1. Inconsistent FPS: The PS2 boot menu moves at an extremely fast speed, over 100 fps. Once a game starts, it varies between moving super fast (SH4) or a little under 30 (FFXII). Is there a way to lock it?
2. FMV: All FMV is all static-ish and messed up, forcing me to skip it.
3. Windowed: Even though I can have the emulator fill up the screen, is there a fullscreen option that removes the top and bottom info bars?
The framerate is pretty much the biggest hurdle, so please offer me all the advice you can.

I don't like supporting "illegal versions", but since PCSX2 is freeware, I suggest people to try to find the svn377 build of this emulator, it's a private build, but it has some speed hacks which makes the emulator very fast.
There's not much you can do, either get a better gpu or try that version I just talked about.SOLDIER said:

I doubt many people at all would pay $100 or near that, but many people did pay $50 for Connectix VGS back in the day. Enough that Sony felt they had to quash it.

turn dual core on in cpu config, you should be able to run ff12 full speed i know i can and get one of the latest svn's as it fixes the fmv

no its not, its an official build, get it here

svn 390 is the latest though

It's not as hard as it seems, you'll basically need the emulator and plugins from the homepage, from there you can find tweaks from the forums. The most important thing in the end is a good CPU and GPU, although these last few versions with the speed hacks have made things alot faster.rod said:ok, so im about to dabble into this thing, can i get a noobs intro on 1.what to get 2.how to get it 3.how to tweak it 4.what addons to use? it seems a lot of work is needed to get games running well, i want to try sotc

sorry to bump this thread but id like to know
C2D 6750@ 3.2ghz.
Vista with 4gb
Radeon 4850 with a little O/C
can i run some ps2 games at full framerate ?
I really would like to play my Zoe 2 DVD in the 1st place....some tenkaichi too !
but im lost. too many plugins, versions...

Ive personally played Tenkaichi 3 full speed on a weaker 2.6GHz C2D, 2GB Vista Geforce 8600 GT system on an old build perfectly. That was around Playground pre-100 (About 75)f@luS said:
Theyre now on revision 671 and have gotten an incredible smattering of games working perfectly. Tons of speedups. Tons of bg fixes. Much more accurate emulation
I've heard that about 60-75% of the more popular games are perfect now.
Picture from the emu running @ almost 100% speed

Hmm, I had no idea that there was a PS2 emulator that ran any games at all. Think I'll check it out.

Try as I might, I can't get my copy of FFXII to work smoothly in PCSX2.
I have a Q6600, 4GB of Ram, nVidia 9800GTX+ and I'm running XP Pro (32bit).
Has anyone been able to get it running at 100%? And if so, what settings are you using?

works perfect for me, use latest Gsdx HERE set to hmm dx10, internal res i think 2400 x 1350 and vsync on. get the latest playground build and play around with the speed hacks, make sure dual core is enabled and set denormals to zero etc

its getting there slowly, 1st one has come along way, think it works at around 40fps now but is still very buggy
-MB- said:
if you read their comments its far from easy to implement in a way that would gain you more than like 0.5fps, the software renderer on gsdx uses it though and provides a much more accurate emulation of some titles although obviously a lot slower for now

Anyone got any recommended settings for FFX? I've managed to get it running but the sound is a bit glitchy.

Thank you!bee said:
You guys should download the playground version, not the official download. Awesome performance increase.
http://www.pcsx2.net/files/12025
Games run great with it. No more need for a backwards compatible PS3 or a PS2, using this and buying only the PS2 games for the win! You need a decent rig, but nothing ginormous.
Visit their forums, and you can download the SVN releases for the Playground. DO IT NOW FOR MAXIMUM POWER.
Edit: Erm, I'm not sure if it's safe for me to recommend an emulator, but then again I remember that emulator discussion is fine as long as it doesn't link to warez or roms/isos.
