RPCS3 and emulation in general

Demon's Souls is still broken on RPCS3 with missing geometry issues, it's baffling they prioritized a fucking 60 FPS hack over accurate emulation.

That site is unironically legit, despite how sketchy the name sounds, just use an adblocker and noscript.

It's fine though?

No it isn't, ground doesn't render in a few spots, certain items such as one type of shields (the one Soldier starts with) don't render, Salamanders only half-render, certain bosses have parts of their models not rendering etc. It's a known issue.

Few examples of the problem:
github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/issues/4302

Hold up, which RPCS3 build/version are you using and what's your hardware spec?

What kinda CPU would you need to achieve this?

Latest and the bug is still there you retard, the fucking main programmer of RPCS3 himself literally confirms the bug is still present and unfixed in the link above.

High end from the past couple years.

>Demon's Souls is still broken on RPCS3 with missing geometry issues
It isn't. I downloaded RPCS3 and played Demon's Souls for 3 hours today and it worked great. For the first 20 minutes or so there were some asset streaming issues, which seems to be something to do with unpacking all the assets from the ISO or whatever. After that it was visually perfect.

an r7 2700 or intel's equivalent.

Nigger you don't even know what to look for.
Go create a Soldier character, show me a screenshot of his STARTER shield rendering on your model, you can't because it doesn't render.
That's an easily reproducable symptom of a major problem in Demon's Souls emulation.
WHY DO YOU NIGGERS THAT NEVER EVEN PLAYED THE FUCKING GAME ON ORIGINAL HARDWARE ALWAYS JUST SAY "WORKS ON MY MACHINE" DESPITE SHITLOAD OF EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY
THE FUCKING RPCS3 LEAD PROGRAMMER HIMSELF LITERALLY OFFICIALLY STRAIGHT UP FUCKING SAID IT'S STILL BROKEN AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING SPECIFIC TO THIS GAME'S EXECUTABLE (EBOOT).

Not him but there are some issues like some small shield not rendering, sun's flare being broken, this and a few others but all of these are minor and you can enjoy the game pretty well.

Again, not him but while I do agree with you, the game has some issues, it's perfectly playable and all the issues are very minor.

>DeS
Wake me up when they'll be able to emulate Dark Souls

This is what I meant by "it's fine". Oh no, the Soldier's shield is invisible. Who cares?

I never said it wasn't playable, read my original fucking post.
I merely said it still doesn't emulate properly and that the devs are putting more effort into HACKS instead of emulator ACCURACY which is a fucking fact.

Apparently Dark Souls 2 is playable.

anyone know if sly4 runs well?
i really love the sly cooper series but i have not been able to play the 4th yet. mainly because i didnt have a ps3 and i honestly dont wanna pay out of my ass to buy a hackable fat ps3.

It's not just Soldier's shield.
Have fun with the entire ground in 4-2 first area not rendering at all as if you were noclipping.
Have fun with invisible Salamander enemies.
Have fun with invisible bubble in 3-2 that will make you think it's a death pit when in reality it's a fully passable terrain and will make you confused about where to progress.
Those are only SOME examples out of dozens.

Why the fuck would you want to emulate Dark Souls when all 3 are on PC, including original versions of 1 and 2?

Sure, but you sound very angry and upset about it and it's such a minor thing all things considered. I mean, we're running it at 4k 60fps now with no major bugs, you can play from start to finish with no issues other than a few graphical glitches or some stuff that doesn't render properly, you don't heft to be mad.

PC versions are horrible ports. I want an original experience.

Dark Souls PTDE version is quite different from the original 1.0 version on the PS3/360.

>minor
See Unironically get cancer and die for acting like invisible floor that makes it impossible where you can fall to your death and invisible enemies aren't a major problem.

You're unironically retarded.

so we can finally play the real Dark Souls without all those shitty patches that nuked the difficulty

Yakuza games have been fucking garbage on RPCS3 for about three years now because their weird anti-piracy policy means none of the actual devs test it

This is the only instance in the game where an object not rendering might affect your gameplay. The ground is rendering just fine it's just the heart that is not rendering, other than that there's not a single are in the game where the ground doesn't render so I'm calling that bullshit. I have the game open right now and all areas opened, just tell me where the ground doesn't render and i'll screenshot it to prove you wrong.

Post above yours autismo

The ground is rendering just fine there, what is not rendering is the dead manta rays, have you even played it on the PS3?

Dis game too hard, I think i'm calling it quits bros

Except it isn't, have you even checked the screenshot you paid shill?

Does anyone else have some problems with massive lag when rolling through barrels (physics), and the game freezing for 1-2 seconds when loading a new area (going inside the tunnel in the tutorial area, for example)?
Also have some freezing here and there in normal gameplay, I'm not sure if it's normal, or can you guys play it 100% flawless?

i5 7500, 480 RX. It should work alright, right?

Does Nier emulate well? I actually have both a ps3 and 360 but can't find a copy anywhere in my shithole

Are you retarded? The ground is there, it's rendering as it should, only the dead manta ray bodies aren't rendering. youtu.be/Dxdp3usNyzg?t=383

I'm still waiting for these
>acting like invisible floor that makes it impossible where you can fall to your death
>Have fun with the entire ground in 4-2 first area not rendering at all

don't most emulators have an anti-piracy policy? I think they do it to avoid getting C&D'd

but then again who is autistic enough to care about pirating a game that is not sold anymore, besides nintendo execs?

>with massive lag when rolling through barrels (physics)
A small frame drop is normal but massive lag is too much.
>the game freezing for 1-2 seconds when loading a new area
never happened to me

My system is very slightly stronger than yours and I can play it pretty smoothly in 30fps with some very rare frame drops in very specific areas. I think you should be able to play it without any lag with your system.

Pic related are my settings for reference.

I'd play DeS on PC but I have no idea where to get the iso for it. I played the shit out of DeS.

Weird, that sucks for me. Gonna try your settings, thanks bro

Also, download the latest build and try deleting all your cache, that fixed some issues for me like the black screen flickering.

There's a fix for the flickering.

I had to enable that option the 60fps patch to remove the flickering. It says it reduces performance though

That's way too many unnecessary hacks.

works for me

You're just lying at this point.

Cutscenes won't play with the 60 fps patch, but they work without it

are you guys memeing or what, how can you possibly play demons on pc with it buffering every 3 seconds literally freezing the game, it's quite unplayable

That only happens on your first playthrough. Unfortunatelly it's not a great experience if you never played the game before but after you build your caches the game plays perfectly smooth if your system is decent enough to handle it.

fucking kek, you have to be kidding, just play through the entire game once? i have it on ps3 and i beat it but i wouldn't play it with the buffering

I just tried your settings on my rig multithreaded rsx seems to be causing the crash issue. Disabling it fixed it for me.

>i have it on ps3 and i beat it but i wouldn't play it with the buffering
Honestly the game loads so fast on PC compared to the PS3 you're better off playing it on PC, waiting for a couple of seconds for the game to compile all shaders in the area and maybe even reload the save to fix any flickering and it would still be faster than the loading times on the PS3.

>Sońygger this mad he has to take screenshots from an old af github post
The absolute state

Do you need to put demon's souls on an SSD or does it make little difference?

CPU AND GPU?

that's just pcsx2 in nutsack

This board is just full of mongs, lad. Don't let them get to you. Everyone on Yea Forums is wrong about shit every minute, every hour every day. I've tried to set people straight but it's all so futile.

Please user if you know truths you must tell the world

Nah, just a cheap 7200rpm HDD. Loading times takes 2 to 4 seconds max.

here

2600 and 580 in 4K? Damn, shame nobody compared the 3900X and 9900K in emulation yet.

Thank you

Put preferred SPU Threads to 3-4. I had constant stutter but once I lowered that setting to 2 it was mostly fixed. Try 3-4 first and if it doesn't help try 2.

I can set the internal resolution up to 6k with my gpu averaging at 95% usage with a few frame drops when it hits 100%. I usually play at 5k internal res but my tv is only 4k so it's downscaled obviously.

Alright here's a few things Yea Forums is consistently wrong about
>Resident Evill 2 Remake on PC has forced negative mouse acceleration.
Yea Forums will argue otherwise because they're too shit at games to notice or their mouse is too shit for them to notice
>GTA IV on PC is more than capable of hitting 60fps and runs fine.
Yea Forums will argue otherwise because they turn up the draw distance and bottleneck the engine and call it the "worst PC port" despite the porting being fine, it being an objective improvement over the consoles, and its issues being rooted in the console originals.
>Underground 2 is one of the most boring fucking games ever if you've played it recently and doesn't hold up as well as Underground and Most Wanted.
Yea Forums will argue otherwise despite not touching any NFS game since 2005

Basically, Yea Forums is fucking stupid.

I have an r5 1600x + 1660ti and it runs like shit

How? I'm running everything stock and I even have only 8gb ram running in single channel. There's no way you're getting worse performance than me.

>he fell for the novideo meme

Can't comment on the other ones and I've never played underground 2 but I have most wanted installed here and that game also doesn't hold up very well. It was challenging enough back in 2005 but at my age It's very easy, which takes away much of the thrill of a racing game. Granted underground 2 might be worse.

>not using a controller for res evil 2
>thinking we are just tech illiterate and that gta iv isn't a steaming pile of shit that can't break 30fps stable let alone 60 on a new 2019 pc

nfsug 1 is better though

he just doesn't need them all

If you're playing on RPCS3, delete your RPCS3/dev_hdd1/cache/ folder after you mod a game.

Are even movies cached in there?

Does this crappy emulator still requires a i7?

Already played it but at a local gaming hangout, so I never had completely free time to just go about and discover everything properly. I'm probably gonna have another go if this latest version allows my computer to run it somewhat okay. I'd love to see this game in high resolution, because damn did it feel smeared when I played on PS3.

it seems to be unpopular to say this when it comes to most soulsfags but DeS is easily my favourite of those 4

The game still has some kind of blurry effect even if you play at higher resolutions though but that's kinda part of the atmosphere imo.

How's Red Dead Redemption now? Is it playable?

Thoughts on Ratchet and Clank?

Seems to be working fine so far though performance is shit.

Attached: 1.jpg (1920x1080, 555K)

The console versions drops to SINGLE DIGITS and it's not even 720p. What the FUCK are you smoking

Other than the game running at 15fps making the game run at half the speed it seems to be emulating pretty well so far. You can probably brute force it with a better cpu.

The original 1.0 version of Dark Souls is pretty different from the PC version. It got a ton of patches that made the game easier and changed a bunch of stuff.

Attached: 2.png (1920x1030, 2.82M)

That sounds just fine, turn off the thread scheduler though 'cause apparently it causes performance drops on 6 core ryzens (and the 3900X since it's got two 6 core CCDs).

I do agree with you that AA only makes the image look like shit, upscalling the resolution already cleans the jagged edges.

Are Yakuza 3-5, 3D Dot Game Heroes, and Red Dead Redemption playable yet?

Well I guess Kenzan will have to do. Hopefully that patch gets finished soon.

Is it fully playable?

How do I get more fps? Doesn't matter if I change the resolution or the anti aliasing
It stays 30 fps

Also what to do with crackling audio? I've checked the boxes which should help with it but don't see any difference
Playing p5 btw

>60 fps
It won't feel right.

I dunno man, feels great to me.

klonoa 2 has audio problems with backup loaders on real hardware, it's a fucked game

Resolution won't affect your fps unless you bottleneck your gpu. Framerate is solely dependant on your cpu so if your gpu can handle 4k for example you can and should play at 4k unless the game has some specific issues with upscalling.

For the audio I use time stretching, it's kinda distracting when you get a huge stretch but it's better than the crackling imo.

Post screenshots of what you're playing right now.

If you're talking about the intro cutscene then yes it doesn't work with this patch, as for other in game cutscenes, I had a save already, so I went to 1-1 and the cutscene with the dragon and the bridge worked fine

Multiplayer with bots is actually decent.

I couldn't get this to run on my PC, but it made me want to play Demon's Souls so I took my old PS3 out of the closet and messed around for a few hours.

Got that sweet falchion you can get from 4-1 or whatever, then went to 3-1 and remembered why i quit this game so many times before I finally pushed my way through (and then beat it 15 more times). Really love it, but I've had my fill.

get a better computer. I run at 2K 60fps no problem. I would do 120fps but apparently its more buggy, and I'm just fiddling around. Ive already beaten demon souls, so ill wait a little longer for them to solve the small graphical issues and whatnot first before i do a full playthrough

DS1 original PC version without mods is horrible precisely because it's a 1:1 console port.

I'm using a i5-4690 yet DeS seems to perform flawlessly on 1440p with that CPU.

I actually kinda hate the look of texture filtering on most PS2 games.

I like the big blocky and sharp pixels you get on unfiltered textures.

I use WiiU USB Helper with a patch that makes it still able to function. It even has a built-in Virtual Console injector tool for the 0.3 people like me out there who have a modded Wii U.
Not sure where exactly to get it nowadays, though. Got my copy like 3 days after the patch released.

>It got a ton of patches that made the game easier and changed a bunch of stuff.
It also made other stuff harder. A lot of the lighter armor sets had much better stats in 1.0 that later got nerfed or their weights readjusted. The lighting upgrade path was completely broken as well and again got nerfed. The Dark Wood Grain ring activated from 50% equip load instead of 25%. Enemies and even other players in PVP couldn't target you if you had the Ring of Fog on making it incredibly powerful. The buff to health the mask of the mother gave was huge back then too and it later got nerfed.

The only thing they really made much easier was curses, in 1.0 if you were cursed early on you either had to discover ash lake and grind the clams down for purging stones since they used to be the only source of them or you had to make a suicide run through new londo's ghosts and get cursed by ingward. They patched it such that the female undead merchant sells a few purging stones. Other than that I don't remember much else in 1.0 being changed to make things easier.

Dunno what else changed but between the original Japanese version and the other versions at the very least they increased the amount of souls you get from stuff by a fair bit. Pretty sure there were other things too, not to mention that a lot of those broken things you mentioned likely wouldn't affect the average player who wasn't looking things up.

darksouls.wiki.fextralife.com/PATCHES
Check the bottom of the page, patch 1.04/1.05:

PVE Changes:

Overall increase in souls gained (~2-2.5 times more)
Damage reduced on some mobs?
HP lowered on some mobs?
Reduced acquisition range on normal enemies.
Supposedly reduced poise on some enemies.
Bosses drop Humanity and Homeward Bones
Ghosts and Skeletons give souls now.
Twinkling Titanite drop rate improved.

>Iron Flesh effectiveness nerfed.
Oh right I totally forgot about that one, that alone debunks the whole "they made it easier line".

You could face tank everything in the game before that change.

I recently played through the Underground games recently and had a blast, haven't gotten around to Most Wanted yet though.

I finished all my PS3 games on hardware. So I kind of been using the emulator for same reason. But gundam crossfire is playable, so might play on emu.

Anyone notice the newest build of rpcs3 is breaking some games, that were playable? Fracture is put back into ingame listing again.

anyone know how the Motorstorm or Killzone series runs on RPCS3 yet?

That's kinda normal for emulators especially this early in development, hopefully whatever broke will be for better accuracy in the long run.

Killzone is not playable right now. Motor storm is playable but I'm getting weird graphics glitches with it.

I wanted to play demons souls and asuras wrath but the only controller I have is the steam controller and its the biggest piece of shit I've ever bought that never works right.

using an OCd i5 6700k and a 1080. game is 1080p locked to 30, it mostly stays there but it hitches a lot (yes I have lower SPU priority on). should I be using vulkan with a 1080 or should I be using opengl?

So I just downloaded Nier and it's in spanish with no option to change languages. Did I download the wrong iso or can I change languages? It said BLUS30481, it should be US right?

rpcs3 has language settings

nvm I just realized some stuff is in english so it's probably some translation patch.
