PCSX2 news

[Raghar]

Actually I seen something really funny when I looked through PCSX2 revisions.

// The following if ( 0 ) is probably a misunderstanding, broke Katamari videos

Can you guess what happened year later?

would you hate me if i said the katamari videos were broken long before i rewrote this bit of the dmac?

Also new in this revision which added 0 back into the if.

Found and hopefully fixed a really long standing DMAC bug.
This gets videos working in Katamari Damaci, Baldurs Gate, Tales of Destiny 2,
Suikoden Tactics and others.

I gave me a laugh.

Fucking hell are they going to finally fix the shadows bug from Silent Hill: Origins?

Interdastin. Looks like the Align Sprite hack would've fixed my Dead Aim issues. (I'm using on of the dailies from last week atm)

I'm still kinda miffed that I cannot play Ace Combat 5 outside of the Software mode (for which you have to have a beast of a PC)


EDIT: Hold the phone, I just read that link. Needs testing.

Damn the emulation went a long way

PCSX 2 emulation is now perfect, downloed the latest nightly, i'm running SotC at 4x times internal resolution 16 AF and AA at 100% emu speed

Finaly can play those games

Scarface is unplayble though. The Godfather also has horrible light glitches, and I could go on for a while. Far away from perfect and now they want to get into psx emulation

Does Primal finally run properly?

Both of those are on PC as well, though. Why take a workaround?

For higher resolution and other enhancements(also I love savestates, if I have to quit I can resume from that point) and for possible future compatibility issues, W10 docet.
There are other unplayble games like Shadow Man 2(though maybe it should stay in this state), SH Origins etc.. and the bugs and glitches on the other games are countless. Dolphin is away more polished, but ps2 game are at least playble on average.

A higher resolution?

 

[Walden]

A higher resolution?

Well, yes. If you want to play it on a TV @4k you can't. The pc version also doesn't support 1360x768p if you play it on a laptop or a hd ready monitor, and you have to lower to 1024x768 etc.. But I'm not very interested in graphics, at least it's not the main point.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a big loss, but overall pcsx2 is still unpolished.

Damn the emulation went a long way

I tried to run SH4 couple months ago, shadows are still fucked for me no matter what settings I change.

The build shown in the video is still in development.

The real question is, why would anyone want to play Silent Hill 4?

PCSX2 is great and all, but there's one area of the emulator that turns me off completely - input lag. I have horrible, crippling input lag no matter the build, renderer or input plugin I use. It doesn't render most of the games unplayable, but some (for instance, Gradius V) are completely out of the question.

I've used PCSX2 pretty much since its release and it's never gotten any better, and people don't seem bothered by it. I've been way too spoiled by Retroarch/libretro's next-to-zero latency and can't really go back.
