Meanwhile ps3 emulator is as advanced as being able to run the ps2 emulator ps3s used to have. What the fuck?

this is like how n64 emulation used to be. we really need a new ps2 emulator...

been a while since I've seen the anti-pcsx2 sperg

>>drops to 5 fps during jungle in mgs3
actual PC issue. played it this year and I had a flawless smooth experience with hardware that isn't from 2005

>>714699749
you mean like pgs?

>>714700415
Been a while since I thought about how much I also hate PCSX2, I'm glad he's here to remind me.

>>714701121
Why does it drop to 5fps on my i5 2500k and ATI radeon 7850 then?

sucks but the latest nightlies worked ootb even for games that are typically a pain to get working (ace combat, gt4)

>>714701957
somethings setup wrong i dunno what to tell you

its been 25 years and you still don't have a PC good enough to emulate PS2 games?

>>714698705 (OP)
It sounds like you're not reading the wiki. Each game has a wiki page where you set certain parameters for the best experience. MGS2 and MGS3 have been perfect for a while now. No issues.

works on my machine

OP having massive skill issues it sounds like. I've been playing MGS3, GT4, Tales of the Abyss, and Tales of Destiny Director's Cut over the last month with zero unsolvable issues. You still need to turn on advanced settings for GT4 and set rounding mode to nearest, clamping mode to full to get the AI demonstrations, in-menu video, and ghosts to work right. But retarded chimps can figure that shit out so idk.

>>714698705 (OP)
update to nightly you fucking sperg

It just had a stable release. Feel pretty good

>>714702367
you never really did, people just never enable mtvu lol

every time i feel bad about myself i can just remind myself that there are people out there still using pre-qt pcsx2

>>714698705 (OP)
Stop me when you see one of these game breaking bugs you seem to think are an actual issue lurking out there

>>714701927
Go fix it then. Or make a new better emulator. All the rest of us peasants can hope for is geniuses like you saving us

>>714704876

>>714698705 (OP)
They ever make Digital Devil Saga not run like total ass outside of software mode?

PCSX2 is great in general. 90% of games run more or less perfectly now after v2.0+. My only gripe is some of the default settings like letting games slow down on FPS drop, including the audio, rather than just letting the FPS drop naturally like on original hardware. This happens in MGS2 if you run into the hallway lasers and blow up the tanker.

Are the emulations in the room with us right now?

>>714706015
That just means your hardware isn't fast enough for your cpu setting. Lower that setting, I forget what it's called. In the CPU tab, the under/over clocking setting.

>>714706843
>In the CPU tab, the under/over clocking setting.
The moment you touch those, enjoy the rollercoaster of unstability. 25 - fucking - years

>>714707634
just kill yourself you lying faggot

>>714706843
>>714706015
This setting.
Overclock = in some games you can get higher frames like in SOTC where it defaults to 30fps but if you overclock, and have the hardware, you can get 60fps.
Underclock = If your cpu is slow games will start moving in slow motion but if you underclock then hey will run at full speed but have regular frame rate drops like they would on a PS2.

>>714698705 (OP)
Some of you niggers overcomplicate the simplest of shit.

I was gaslit for the longest time to believe it's a power issue or a skill issue "works fine on my machine idk bro" but no the emulator is just fucking shit.

I'd argue it's doing active damage to the legacy of PS2 games because many people only expeience them in this weird kinda janky sterile way with missing effects everywhere.

>>714708680
you're just retarded

>>714708680
It literally gaslit me about MGS3. I was pretty sure the game had yellow tint with some bloom effect when I played it on ps2 back then. And PCSX2 directx plugin simply didn't provide the effect for at least a decade, which brainwashed me into thinking that I misremembered. Same for patchy trees. PCSX2 presented mgs3 trees with black spots on them for years.

>>714709120
this fucking autist is shitposting about things that have been fixed for ten years

I had a good laugh when the retards cried out "IT'S FIXED FOR REAL THIS TIME I PROMISE" for the 10th time only to run into the same documented glitches that had been around for over a decade.

Never thought of it that way. You might be right.
