Why do I have to fucking optimize this shit for every other game?

new to emulation? That's how it's always been, for just about every console. The reasons simple as well: every game used to be very different.

Better ofv emulating the GC version.
Dolphin is much easier to work with.
Digital Devil Saga's fun

>That's how it's always been, for just about every console
But that's not true.
PCSX2 is literally the emulator that takes most configuration to run games well.
>>332683961
My personal favorites are Black, Seek and Destroy (A little-known weird-ass japanese tank game where the world is inhabited by talking tanks and you go around and buy giant chainsaws for your tank and triple-stack missile launchers, then compete in party games for money with which to- you get the point), and Conflict: Desert Storm 2.
The best of the best
>>332684548
Which PS2 emulators would you recommend?
>>332684453
You need to qualify it with "don't under any circumstances pick to follow that bitch", I've beaten the game 5 times and all 5 were on human path, I tried monster 3 times and just had to fucking stop, it's like they got to it and were just tired of developing the game so they gave it a barebones storyline and shitty teammates and called it quits.

Get a real PS2.
>>332684935
PCSX2. It's the only one. Ps2 is just a bitch to emulate.
>PCSX2 works fine on my old 1080p monitor
>it flickers on my new 4k monitor
I just want to play some FFXII dammit
>>332684935
There are only two PS2 emulators; PCSX2 and Play!.
Play has shitty compatibility so you should use PCSX2.
>>332683961
Patch up KH2. Make it KH2FM. there are websites for this.
Actually if you really wanna test, KH1 is a bigger test, it seems to run slower than kh2, despite KH2 having better graphics.
however, an ACTUAL TEST. GRAN TURISMO 4. The Ps2 even struggled through that one.
>>332684423
>your uncle tricked you into trading Sky Odyssey for Evergrace
Fucking asshole. Evergrace was a fucking mess of bullshit but Sky Odyssey looked cool as fuck back then.
>>332685197
I have a standard $700 laptop and I can play KH2FM in 720p. Feels good man.
>>332685417
ive got a lenovo flex 3, 800 or so, but it has a geforce 940m. that 60fps at 720p is bliss
>>332684548
>PCSX2 is literally the emulator that takes most configuration to run games well.
That's because it's relatively "new" and super complex platform. Wii emulation is better, but only because of easier architecture, and it still requires tweaking.
similarly, plenty of PS1 and N64 games require tweaking or using custom-made plugins or even emulators to run decently.
>>332685658
haha no its because sony is paying them 2 make it hard 2 use so they buy the games instad of pirating them
>>332685116
>ePSXe runs fine with some slowdown on windowed
>it flickers and runs at 15 fps on fullscreen
i know this pain, and i do not like it
Is there a way to save profiles with diferent configs for each game
>>332686918
What game is this?
>>332686918
Use frontends, like PS2Lunch or something.
>>332687071
Haunting Ground
>>332687071
Looks like Haunting Grounds?
That game about running away from a retard trying to rape you
Dolphin is actually the one that takes the most tweaking.
>Fine tuning for Game
>Try Other Game
>Crash
>Muh efb slider
>>332686918
tweaking pcsx2 is basically changing it to software renderer in cases like ace combat and upping settings like internal resolution when games run really well.
how is this difficult
>>332687896
ty anon
i had no idea this existed
>>332684893
Looks good
Is it moonrunes only
>>332687942
not if you have the shit kind of PC you shouldn't be emulating on
t. every anon who complains about pcsx2
>>332688428
>Is it moonrunes only
yes
>>332684085
Are you down?
The only thing you have to do is change resolution or some other dumb shit. Like literally clicking a box or not.
>>332688578
Not entirely correct.
An example would be some of the SMT games, like DDS1 and 2. They have an issue with the newer recompiler and even some higher end hardware configurations need to switch to the legacy recompiler and disable clamping to have an acceptable framerate.

I constantly fight with buying the HD collections on my PS3 until I finish all my other games.

I use PCSX2Bonus, gives it a good frontend and per-game config. I mostly emulate ps2 racing games, from Initial D to Burnout to Gran Turismo 4 and all the weird stuff like Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 inbetween.

>>332683961
Does Burnour 3 finally run well on PCSX2?
>>332689886
I like how you consider it a good thing to be an ignorant failure.
>>332684423
Does Ace Combat 4 finally emulate well?
Jak & Daxter still broken? baka
>>332685112
Why?
>>332684423
>PS2 RE4
>no FFX-2

Shitty CPU and shitty GPU
>>332690895
I'm playing it right now, and it's mostly fine.
Black eyes and weird shadows sometimes, but that's it
>>332691296
sorry senpai I can't stand those black eyes
guess I'll wait another couple of years
>>332684423
>No R&C:Size matters
>No Burnout dominator
Is it shit?
>>332684423
>Ace Combat
I wasn't aware PCSX2 could emulate those games well. They either ran at half speed or had horrible graphical glitches. And I've heard of some collision issues but didn't encounter any during the short time I could stomach to play.

The emotion engine is a very different architecture to desktop processors
Imagine trying to thread a really small needle, that's making a game for ps2 if you're used to developing pc games. Now imagine trying to thread that needle with thick mittens on, that's trying to emulate the ps2 with a pc
Okay, this is a hell of a long shit, but here we go.
The fuck is up with the [Detaches] DX Controler (XBOX360 for Windows) shit? Anybody got a fix for this? I seriously want to keep emulating and shit, but its just a no no with a keyboard, I need the controler to work.
>>332692070
Post effects are shit and look ugly anyway
Only good one is AA and you can render at 4k to do it easy
Someone needs to implement a database of optimal game settings per-game that the emulator automatically loads, taking into account a couple common system specs (like dual core vs quad core, nvidia or amd gpu). It should actually be easy to do and only take one of the experienced pcsx2 devs literally a single day to make, and have users submit the settings. If anyone has an uncommon spec it can just say "wanna try the most common settings? you might need to tweak stuff"
Everyone go ask for this on the forums now.
>>332692975
I have no idea what that jumble of words means but a common controller problem is duplicate drivers activating.
Go into device manager and if you see multiple 'xbox 360 controller' or 'video game controller' entries then stop all but one of them.
I had a problem with windows activating the 360 pad drivers every time I plugged my ds4 in even though the ds4 has its own drivers.
It even overrided the button prompts to display the xbox ones in games that support ds4 controllers, the cheeky cunts
>>332685006

>>332694171
There's already a compatibility chart on the PCSX2 site that has a settings section. It's a matter of people using it.
>>332694197
This anon.
I don't have any other xbox 360 controlers or anything, Im using a ps3 one with the pcsx2 drivers they said to install, but thanks anyways, maybe I can delete the drivers if I find them or something.
>>332694686
Yes I know, but I'm saying it should do it automatically on game load, built into the emulator. It's incredibly easy to do for anyone that knows the pcsx2 framework. The automatic loading would work for ~90% of people anyway, not that many people have crazy hardware configs.
>>332688554
not him but how easy is it to play without moon?
This is the actual game with no vomit smeared on top and bob ttf
This is the same game at the same graphical settings. Interlacing makes no difference, a blurry mess either way.
>>332684085
Because PCSX2 is horribly buggy HLE garbage.
Sure, it's the "best" we've got. But a PS2 is 20 bucks.
>>332685658
Plenty of garbage emulators made in the 90s, you mean. PS1 emulation is near perfect these days if you're not stupid enough to fall for the ePSXe meme, and N64 emulation will always be liquid dogshit because the system is an absolute fucking mess of filters that will never work above 240p.
>>332694171
Except settings and plugins change. A known good config from 5 years ago is worthless.
Most popular games already run fine after a basic set-up. The issue is niche titles that haven't even been tested in 3 years, and have zero documentation.
>>332697362
PS2 looks like shit without uprenderin.

>>PS2 looks like shit without uprenderin.
If only you could plug in your old CRT. Hell, imagine if you could get a professional grade display for broadcast or medical use that cost thousands of dollars new for 5 bucks?
>>332698762
I meant that it looks like shit no matter where you hook it up. You could hook it up the ass and it'd probably look less shit than on the best crt hd in this world.

I have an overclocked i7 3770k and I can't get above 30-40fps on either.

>>332683961
Final Fantasy XII is fucking gorgeous when emulated at high res. Runs really well, too.
>>332683961
are you kidding? you can't emulate ps2 games yet
>>332699925
I'm emulating them right now. What are you gonna do? Call a police?
>>332699925
Yes you can mate.
Only reason Im not is because of controller ballmalarkey.
>>332699168
Have you tried 30 fps mode?
>>332683961
Here's my ISO folder. I don't know why some of them don't have good file names.
I recommend God Hand, any Metal Gear game, Kingdom Hearts (if you're in for a longer game that you missed when it came out), and Gitaroo Man.
>>332701725
Question, ya ever try SMT Nocturne? Been meaning to try it out, and wanted to hear what yall had to say about it.
>>332701990
Im this guy>>332701725
No I haven't tried SMT Nocturne, I still have to sit down and play Persona 4 sometime bc it is my first non FF1 JRPG. My friend loves all the SMT/Persona style games so I'm sure they are worth a try.
>>332702174
Neato, thanks for the answer.
>>332701990
Nocturne's fun as hell, yeah
>>332702419
no problem
>>332702510
Now, the real question, could you technically just use a keyboard and play with it or would it be far too odd to use it?
I always use a controler for ps2 emulating, but shit ain't working. Is it possible and does the game not need massive amounts of smooth movement controlling, or is it just shit without one?
>>332685006
>shader configuration
>>332703092
Controlling the camera might be a bit odd, but other than that it should be fine
You can just push a button to snap the camera behind you anyways
>>332701990
Nocturne is fucking great. All the megaten games on the PS2 are really good.
