PAL games on PS2 ran at 25 FPS, but at higher resolution.
PAL = 576i/576p 25 FPS
NTSC = 480i/480p 30 FPS

The emulator on PS4 is so shitty it's incapable of rendering PAL games properly and tries to force them into 30 FPS which causes all kinds of fuckups.

Of course it does. It's emulation not a port. If they're going to work on this they might as well just port the games over from PC that allow that.

What's wrong, your semen rations weren't delivered today?
>>
>>319519223
I don't know what that means. You're saying there's some reason Sony can't just put the US version up on European PSN? The language options might be an issue but that's either easy to fix or people in Europe would probably care more about having the game not being adhering to a shitty ancient standard than being in their native language.
>>
>>319517862

Can the PS4 not output in 50Hz?
>>
This is really shitty. A lot of euro games had 60hz options though.
>>
>>319519291
You're showing how self conscious you are considering people were talking about how inadequate the PS4 is and not how inadequate Europe is.
>>
>>319518969

Framerate is the only downside to the PAL standard. Res, colour encoding, audio quality is all better than any other system.
PAL60 a best for Composite video though.
>>
>>319519402

European psn caters to France, Germany etc. it just makes it easier to throw up the one copy of the game rather than tweak the us copy to accomodate these countries.

You can set your monitor to 50Hz at least.

>>
>>319520354
lol who cares it's europe
>>
>>319520412
Pretty sure that wouldn't help because the PS4 isn't outputting 50Hz, it's converting the 50Hz games to 60Hz and fucking everything up before it outputs it.
>>
>>319520413

It's simple, we just need a eurofag to buy a PS2 emulation (kek) and photo his TV saying whether the signal is 50 or 60hz.
>>
>>319519005
>LET'S IGNORE EVERY LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD BUT ENGLISH
>>
>>319520508

Your PC can be set to output 50Hz just fine. Can the PS4 not?
>>
>>319520604
What kind of shit logic is this?

Can you make Ocarina of Time run at 144 fps just because it's being played on a PC?

Surprise, the engineering is different!
>>
>>319517862
Was anyone surprised by this at all?
>>
>>319520583
I'm sure most people would prefer the game in English than the game with fucked performance. I'm not even sure how hard it would be to change if Sony weren't fucking lazy.

>>319520604
Don't think so. Same as the resolution. Even if a game runs at 720p on the PS4 it's upscaled to 1080p before it's outputted. And even then it wouldn't matter because the emulator is apparently (I'm not sure I'm just guessing) built to convert it so even if you could set the PS4 to output 50Hz the game would be running at 50Hz, converted to 60Hz, and then output at 50Hz which I think might be worse.
>>
>50hz

For what purpose?
>>
>>319520887

PAL games ran in 50Hz for all of 1st-5th Gen. Some 6th gen games did 60Hz too but 7th gen is when ot was standard.

>>319521087
Huh. Would a Gsync/Freesync monitor help with this?
>>
>>319521321
It doesn't matter what your display can do as the PS4 is converting it to 60Hz before outputting it. The emulator is the thing fucking up. There's no way to fix it if you can't modify it yourself.
>>
>>319521321

No, it's because of hard encoding. The PS2 emulator fucks up because of it's internal scaler trying to output a 60htz video feed from 50htz content.
>>
>>319521321

Euro TVs have always supported plain 50Hz and still do, so there's no point. The PS4 just doesn't output that.
>>

I should probably mention this - but Dark Cloud in EU territories doesn't seem to have any sort of frame pacing issues, at least at a noticeable level.

This is coming from someone who can't stand frame pacing issues, has a CRT just for native PS2 gaming AND I've emulated the US version of Dark Cloud before on PC.

It's as smooth as every other version. It just seems like GTA:SA is more affected because of it's constant drops below 25/30.

Because the games are programmed to run at 50htz, you fuckwit.

These are games from the early 2000's.
>>
>>319521973

Stutter's not the problem, a PAL game and NTSC game will get framedrops about as severe as each other in the same circumstances.

PAL was really shitty for 2D gens though. For everything that isn't gaming and everything 3D it's fine.
>>
>>319522010
Like others have said, it's so they have the language support. This is emulation, not ports, so they can't just bundle all the languages into one game, they're putting up the different areas' versions of the games from when they came out and Europe got shafted in the past in regards to framerate because of PAL. It's even worse with this because the PS4 is trying to turn the 50Hz game into 60Hz to output and it fucks it up even more.
>>
>>319522107
ps4/vita version isn't 2k tho, that and emulated version is free whereas it costs $15 to buy a decade old game from sony.
>>
>>319522157

No, PAL is awful because nobody gave a shit about converting things right. Slowdown and borders everywhere.

Games like the Final Fantasy series run at 5/6th the speed of the US version. FFIX was already slow enough, it's actually noticeable when you play them both.
>>
>>319522312
But I got it for free via PS+
>>
>>319522358

Borders and slowed down gameplay were a necessary consequence of 2D conversions, in 3D it's just lazy devs.
>>
>>319522163
So Sony didn't think this through, or did but is being incredibly lazy?

>>
>>319523492

I don't know if you're joking or not.

The only thing stopping a 50htz game running on a NTSC console is a software lock, same thing with a 60htz game running on PAL consoles.

I play USA games on my PAL PS2 all time time using a swap disk or FreeMcBoot.

when the games were originally made for NTSC standards a whole lot of other downsides crop up. Lazily made PAL ports simply run 1/6th slower than the original game, and the change in resolution can seriously fuck up aspect ratio and other aspects of the graphics.
