    Is this seriously some dumb meme I'm not aware of?

    Everyone always says PCSX2 sucks, but I've never had any problems with it other than occasionally fricked up shadows. Games run great, look great, widescreen patches work great. Whole thing works really well.

        Admittedly, I'm not the most technically adept person out there, but as long as the games play fine and don't look super fricked then I don't really care too much if they're inaccurate in places, so long as I can play them easily.

      Things have been getting better at a pretty fast rate since there's a lot of knowledgeable devs now working on PCSX2 who want accuracy & preservation instead of hobbyists who are only interested in hacking the frick out every game with CPU & plugin hacks to single games to work properly. They finally started showing the nightly builds on the official site which everyone should be using over the "stable" builds. Transparency was finally fixed in MGS2/3 like 6 months ago so while it's still slow, shit is actually getting fixed in a proper way these days.

            Most people don't know what "accuracy" means in term of emulation.

      Depends on what you're after. If you just want to play the games it's fine almost all the time. If you want an experience matching what you'd get on original hardware or a completely artifact/bug free experience + upscaling it's not as good but getting better. It's not up to snuff yet to be a preservation-tier experience like mednafen or even dolphin can be but that's nobody's fault but the autists who designed the original hardware.

              I'm kinda pressing X on that, but even if so, how many hundreds of dollars do you need to spend for a converter that isn't some Aliexpress garbage, with simple bob/blend deinterlacing and filtered non-integer upscaling to max 720p/1080p, so the TV still has to scale it once again and blur it even more? And for what? For the same inauthentic experience as PCSX2 in software mode, but with 5x the hassle and extra fuzziness from the analog conversion?

                $120 for a RetroTink x2 and it's plug and play. $300 if you want up to 4K resolution and deinterlacing (without lag, mind you) with the RetroTink x5. If you have two braincells to rub together, managing to plug in some cables, it's less hassle than setting up PCSX2 to work for specific games, and I guarantee it looks better, without the bugs that come with emulation.
                Is emulation comparatively "free" compared to paying 120 - 300 doll-hairs? Duh, but so is buying a lemon off ebay with shit geometry

                You obviously haven't used it in a decade. You don't need to do any per-game stuff, and everything works just fine in software mode. So $300 to have two more crap lying around the TV, more power bricks, take up another HDMI slot, for no benefit.

      Just FYI if you weren't aware, Rainbow Six 3 console is kinda dogshit, play the PC version instead. There's no reason to play Pandora Tomorrow or Chaos Theory on PS2 unless you specifically just want to see the neutered levels. Play it on PC instead, it has better graphics and gameplay.
      Double Agent is only worth playing if you play the Xbox version, and xemu is now good enough to play that (if you have an Nvidia card. AMD has shit performance on xemu). On PS2, Wii and GC the levels are all cut down, and you can't OCP or shoot out like 2/3rds of the lights which makes it play terrible.

    I prefer it now, mostly because of CRT shaders and having all older consoles unified through Retroarch.

      I just tried it and got completely broken rendering on the first game I tried and then a crash on the second. Gonna be a while.

      >software mode fricking sucks and loses all the benefits of using emulation,

      You should only be using software renderer with integer scaling and a CRT shader.

      Never upscale any emulator for old consoles.

      >zoomers and their shitty crt filters
      >as they play on LCD screens
      lmao "it's l-like i'm really in th-the 90s". you will never experience culture.

        Zoomers don't even understand why crts are best for older games

      Just put on someone else's glasses and you'll get the same effect.

    Yes? There isn't an alternative to it and nobody is autist enough to build a new ps2 emulator.

        It looks like it's the same emulator, but with some modifications and implementations.

    It’s actually good. There are some issues, like Xenosaga 3, but most games can run well if you tweak them a bit.

    I have no issues with the people who use this emulator.
    I tried it three years ago with Ratchet and Clank, I thought that the game ran fine, but then I looked at gameplay online, turned out the game ran slower and didn't know.
    Now a days I don't bother with PCSX2, I just use my ps2 on my 25" crt with scart output

      You probably download the wrong build, AVX for modern CPUs, SSE4 for old, also new Qt UI probably doesn't work on windows 7

    I have had zero problems emulating any games on PCSX2 since the 1.7 updates. My moron friend couldn't get Berserk to work on it, however.

    Only game i've come across with a legitimate issue is onimusha 4. This bpss doesn't fight back, same with the flying dudes. This doesn't occur on actual hardware. fricking strange since this isn't even documented on the pcsx2 wiki

      So all the lighting, bloom, dof effects work fine now?
      Old builds had issues on top of AI frickups.

        I find the AI frickups to be top priority, everything seems to suffer in some way with the behavior of enemies and partner AI. but yes, the post processing is still broken with 1.7.
        But one thing that did get fixed recently is that the genma general attacks shake the screen now like it did on ps2.

        Any games with heavy post processing is fricked on PCSX2 especially if you upscale.
        I tend to defend PCSX2 because it's indeed better than nothing but holy frick if your game use full screen post processing effects like this you're better off disabling it with hacks and add it back with reshade.
        You wouldn't have to do this if the emu was actually good.

        I really liked newpixie-crt, but after a while it's just way too cluttered. Still probably my favorite for ultra-low-res, but otherwise I'm just using guest. Not mega bezels though, shit takes way too much space.

    Anyone who thinks it's terrible either uses a laptop from 2013 or they don't know about the nightly builds and are still using the "stable" release from 7 years ago
