Emulation is go-

Where does one even get a ps2 now-a-days your best option is an emulator.

Several emulators are really good. PCSX2 is just not one of them.

literally 90% of the games I've tried just work

literalry unpreayeabre

It's because the original video files were interlaced. They look kinda like that on a lot of modern TVs, too.

You can also fix it in the emulator pretty easily.

Why is PCSX2 still not as good as Dolphin in 2019? Are the devs just dumber/lazier?

Are Intel CPUs still much better for emulation than AMD, or has Ryzen leveled the playing field a bit? I need to upgrade soon and it'd be fun to fuck around with some of these new emulators that really chug on my current machine

>not spending 5 seconds to fix this

console plebs are shit.

Yes, PCSX2 isn't nearly as well designed as Dolphin.

Ryzen has closed the gap some, but Intel is still supreme in terms of per-core performance.

Ryzen cpu's are good for emulation, it's the gpus that aren't as good in emulators that don't utilize vulkan.

cheers anons

I think emulators are Best for 3d games but 2d games are better played on the original system

PCSX2 is built for very old PCs, has very old code, built on very old design philosophies, and it's full of hacks. The software renderer is actually pretty damn good though.

>PCSX2 is built for very old PCs
I couldn't even run PCSX2 on my old PC.

I remember playing PCSX2 on a core 2 quad q6600 2.4HGz. Some games ran ok. The emulator has so many hacks you there was always a way to make a game run at least semi decent.

Yeah. Framerate is still subpar and much of the environment turns bluish-purple after a while, never mind the audio being trash

Na, Citra is very good indeed. Cemu's a BotW machine though

>Interlacing is emulations fault

zoomers don't even know what interlacing is

PCSX2 is old and the PS2 has weird hardware.

it is good in the latest builds and if you have anything better than a turbo toaster, you poorfags just want it to work on anything like dolphing

Citra can barely emulate all three MH on it properly as-is. Call me back later when it doesn't have to rely on specialized builds for them.

Good, interlacing should dissapear 240p better than 480i any day

Interlacing isn't even an issue if you're playing on a CRT

Because there's more autism in the nintendo fanbase than in the sony fanbase.

There always some flicker

did the new pcsx2 fixed the black backgrounds in Burnout 3?

It is in 60 FPS 480i games. The error is less visible on CRT but each 1/60th of a second only delivering 240 lines to the TV inevitably causes artifacts compared to 480p (which most CRT TVs don't support but monitors do) for example

two shining examples of emulators designed to run 1-2 games well enough for hype youtube videos while being fundamentally shit

literally just press F5
mongoloid

of course they do Yea Forums loves to cherrypick

the videos are encoded progressively and were just shittily deinterlaced beforehand iirc

you also trade off shadows and whatever effects scale awfully with resolution

Isn't this the difference between rendering on a modern TV vs a CRT TV?

PPSSPP will be a good emulator when danganronpa 1 stays playable without regressions

Gotta love that deinterlacing ghosting

Tbh I just prefer the emulator side to side it just looks better, its the truth no discusion on 3d games, lose minimal to none important things to actually see clear crystal? I dont even doubt kek

Interlacing artifacts occur on real hardware too. Your TV, if it is not a CRT, just uses a deinterlacing filter - which PCSX2 can also do if you choose to.

If you're going to criticise emulation, at least criticise it for something that makes sense.

The cpu aspect will change with Zen 2

I'm running the latest dev version of pcsx2. I have this weird issue where the "Ready" text doesn't disappear from the screen. Is there a way to fix it?

>PS2 has the best library of all time
>best selling console of all time
>only one barely not abandoned emulator

Like yeah the hardware is weird but the PS3s is even worse in that regard yet it has more development.

Emulation is amazing, honestly. I don't know why people always write it off completely if it isn't perfect in one scenario or with a particular emulator. Look at the SNES and NES scenes and especially the PSX scenes. I love it, even though I prefer real hardware.

Literally any thrift store. I've bought 3 from the same store for under 20 bucks a pop, including one with a legit network adapter.

>PS2 has the best library of all time
>best selling console of all time
>only one, barely not abandoned emulator

Like yeah the hardware is weird but the PS3s is even worse in that regard yet it has more development.

wrong. the ps2 gpu is way more obscure than the ps3 gpu. and the ps3 cpu is just the logical evolution of the ps2 cpu.

imbecile

with emulation, being quick to market and "good enough" often matter more than quality. It's just like n64 emulation. There's not a big push for something better because it's just good enough

PCSX2 is a mess at this point. It's honestly better to just softmod a fat PS2 and install some games to an HDD for it to play. Hell someone just made they're own super optimized video driver for the PS2 so you can have it natively output 1080p with barely any slowdown

Why is it so difficult to perfectly emulate a console that was released 19 years ago?

PS2 can do 1080p now
You should see the amazing if statement PCSX2 has for it's games

because the ps2's hardware is utterly arcane and doesn't really work like any other graphics hardware

The only problem with emulation is people still recommending or using incredibly old and outdated emulators like ZSNES

Age has nothing to do with ease of emulation. Some systems like the Switch have been easier to emulate due to the common ARM chipset and the fact that it's basically an Nvidia that you could already develop stuff for.

How do I make PS1 games look decent on epsxe? And I'm not talking about gay filters and shit, just make the game look like it's supposed to.

shit man, i'm just trying to help. it's not that great.

whats that game?

Intel CPU's are better. Only just very recently in the last year or so with AMD's new mid-high tier Ryzen have they even come close to Intel's core-per-core performance. Also Nvidia is the better choice for GPU in emulation because AMD GPU's have shit OpenGL performance in Windows because the lazy fucks have no interest in fixing their driver performance in that regard.

I'm playing P3Fes right now, and this doesn't happen.

Don’t use epsxe. Use the software version of core in retroarch. I forgot the name but I think it has a b in it?

Back in the days of GBA scene releases games would commonly have a modified intro screen promoting the dumping group, so no-intro was made to preserve the original dumps of games completely unmodified.
Basically it's just a fullset of perfect dumps of cartridge games. Keep in mind they don't release anything technically, these are just backed by no-intro's database.
For CD and up (DVD, Blu-ray, etc.) check out redump.

beetle? Mednafen-beetle?
I'd say stick with vanilla mednafen without retroarch if you're just using the software core, the hardware core is pretty great though.

Okay, thanks. I started playing SOTN for an hour or so already, can I transfer my save and/or save states?

user you do realized they fixed the purple textures long ago. You can play it at 60fps since january

Check out the emulation general on /vg/ their wiki has a good list of emulators for each system

You stop using ESPXE and instead use madnafen instead

pcsx2 is kinda shit I'm not going to lie

PPSSPP is absolute perfection though

Im even more of a retard than this guy, how do I get breath of fire 2 and other nintendo roms?

And even if they don't you can usually just play on software mode and it'll work perfectly

i played through all three xenosaga, wild arms, and suikoden games with no major hitches, baring some shadow issues in the xenosaga games but those were corrected by just playing on software mode

If you connect a PS2 to a tv without a deinterlacer, the picture will be EXACTLY the same.
But that said, PCSX 2 offers several deinterlacing modes on it's video plugin.

PPSSPP and Dolphin are the GOAT of emulators. Made by wizards.

Google "game name ROM" and download it from whatever source comes up.

The PS2 is just as bad, it has a custom chip design which took years to squeeze performance out of. Most PS2 games use legit hacks to the hardware to even squeeze out any kind of performance and it is only thanks to Sony's amazing marketability that the PS2 was as popular as it was because it was a bitch and a half to work with. I still remember how the OG shadow of Colossus implemented it's own frame skipping technique because the hardware was just so limited.

Most likely GPU rendering

Like I said, I have no problems running most steam games
And other emulators like PPSSPP and Citra work without a hitch

Check in your graphics settings.

you're not far off. a ton of extremely simple pixel pipelines running in parallel with insanely fast vram to back it up

Started this game just a couple days ago and it was literally one of the first things I noticed since it occurs in the opening scene.
Will have to try the deinterlacing suggestions from this thread, but was under the impression it wasn't a normal interlacing problem since the gameplay itself obviously didn't have the same issue as these cutscenes.
On P3FES, has anyone made a 'hd' mod of sorts like there are for dolphin gc titles?
Noticed there was a place for custom shaders, but didn't see an option for textures or w/e, only scaling size, which looks smooth but makes the rough parts really stand out.

You are handed a 10-inch thick stack of manuals written by Japanese hardware engineers. The first time you read the stack, nothing makes any sense at all. The second time your read the stack, the 3rd book makes a bit more sense because of what you learned in the 8th book. The machine has 10 different processors (IOP, SPU1&2, MDEC, R5900, VU0&1, GIF, VIF, GS) and 6 different memory spaces (IOP, SPU, CPU, GS, VU0&1) that all work in completely different ways. There are so many amazing things you can do, but everything requires backflips through invisible blades of segfault. Getting the first triangle to appear on the screen took some teams over a month because it involved routing commands through R5900->VIF->VU1->GIF->GS oddities with no feedback about what your were doing wrong until you got every step along the way to be correct. If you were willing to do twist your game to fit the machine, you could get awesome results. There was a debugger for the main CPU (R5900). It worked pretty OK. For the rest of the processors, you just had to write code without bugs.

PC gaming is cheaper than ever.

Because you spent it all on dumb shit, like consoles who end up useless after a few years, even a PS4 is already outdated and a PS5 had to be released so soon because PS4's hardware is shit. Ryzen is a cheaper alternative and a 2600 would get you similar performance. A lower tier GPU will do as well for 4K. It's your own fault for not putting any effort into researching shit. Consoles are are the worst fucking meme to ever exist. Also, highly likely SEGA will announce a Persona 5 port at E3, or at the very least other games. Everything gets ported or can be emulated a few years later on PC so what the fuck is the point of consoles?

Well for me I just have a sort of aversion to ports. I feel like in the majority of cases a lot of ports are poorly designed and annoying. While for ePSXe I've found that the default control schemes and such are extremely well designed and easy to get a hold of.

When playing through RE1 a friend of mine made a bunch of snide comments about the PC port so I assume there's some dumb shit involved there, but I never played it myself.

I really agree, I just wish there were more widely available emulation options for stuff like the Xbox 360 and PS2.

Why are you doing that instead of playing games?

-ing to be the only means of preservation for a lot of games, and though it's not perfect, it's the best that we have. It should only be a means of playing and trying out games and getting a general idea of how they were, rather than being the definitive way of playing them. The more that we strive to improve emulation, the more likely it will be that it is improved in the future.

PCSX2 isn't bad, it just takes a lot more steps and tinkering to get the games working how you want them compared to something like PPSSPP where every game works flawlessly and you probably never have to change settings after the first time.

Playstation and Xbox don't have any worthwhile exclusives so the desire to develop emulators for these consoles doesn't exist. People want to play the latest Mario and Zelda games, which is why Nintendo emulators are generally pretty good.

Emulation is a godsend. Thanks to emulation I finally managed to complete JSRF without wasting money on the original Xbox, and I also played it in HD.

Had you played them through on original hardware to compare?

>emus can't interpolate frames well
WOAAHHHHHHHHHAHOHAHHSDOHSOIHADsd

God i wish i could play Forza 1 again on the emulator.

you'll have to wait for a looooooooong time
CXBX will take months/years to transition to LLE and XQEMU is a half-dead corpse.

1 is a prototype and 2 is generally regarded as the best; save data can be transferred from 1 to 2 so it is not a bad idea to play both. 3 was an okay follow-up because the original creator was involved and everything after that was Konami milking the series to death after the original creator left.

you have the entire ps2 library on your shelf? you can have with a feel clicks on pc

Since I'm not a zoomer I have 75% of the good games because I bought them when they came out.

this sounds like the prime example of projection

I'm 175 pounds
>storing your games in a humid attic
And then you shitpost about disc rot lol dumb cunt
>disc read error
Never happened to me, and I'm still using my launch PS2

>Retroarch is perfect
>Doesn’t have PS2 core

Why

What the fuck is a "RYW TV Set"?

The disc reas error is probably the laser, just change it or buy another PS2. You can never have too many.

I'm still using my Madcatz memory card from 2002, battery hasnt even died yet.

>Retroarch
disgusting bloat

I'm using launch accessories, with launch consoles and I have NEVER had a problem.

>I'm 175 pounds
Fatty

>humid attic
t. Australian

Because perfectly emulating the emotion engine is literally impossible and is why PCSX2 is the best option of bad options

Most of your post is retarded, but I'm most interested in 'disc rot'. Where the fuck did you get that from?

>emulation

Not even once.

Get some muscle in you stick legs
Your attic

I’m an idiot, what’s the emotion engine

Nice bait faggot

Oh, you were actually suggesting that disc rot is a real thing, and not the fact that it was just dust collecting inside of a twenty year old system that you can't easily take apart.
>Canadian
a fornicating frond

Why are some emulators so damn shit? Like the ps2 one for example. What the fucck?

It's the PS2's CPU.
The EE isn't actually _that_ bad, it's the Graphics Synthesizer which is a real pain in the ass.

yikes

PS2s meme cpu that is ridiculously hard to emulate

Name one reason aside from mii games to move to homebrew instead

theres litteraly an option in pcsx2 that switches from hardware to software when it detects video and then back to hardware when its over for games that look like OPs.

>GameStop
For every 1 GameStop there's like 50 EB games and for every 1 EB games there's like 5 independent game shops so I don't know why you'd waste time with GameStop

IS TE FRAMERATE LOW? LET ME INTERPOLATE FOR YOU!

Playstation doesn't have updates you dumb fucking zoomer it can't even connect to the internet

>For every 1 GameStop there's like 50 EB games and for every 1 EB games there's like 5 independent game shops
really, they still exist? in the city im living thers not a single store appart from gamestop. gamstop/amazon allreydy destroyed them all.
its a really small city though

When did I say that? For an average male who's around 6 foot 175 is pretty normal, I like beer too much though so I could probably be 170 if I stopped drinking it

>6 foot
>175lb
Like I said, fatty
And muscle weighs less than fat you absolute retard

I'm in Toronto, I don't live in some Hicksville like Barrie

oh wait, the instead let me use these

>order used shit online, risk that its broken
>wait weeks untill they finally send it, since you cant get them in stors anymore
