Vampire Savior having all the characters instead of arbitrarily cutting out Phobos, Pyron and Donovan for one, the Alpha collection has a bunch of dumb extras I enjoy too.
I'll play the regular ones on fightcade but I'm far from an arcade purityfag. If Alpha 3 Max got put on there I'd drop the CPS2 version in a heartbeat.
RetroArch has custom branches of most emulators that differ from mainline, including DuckStation, which is called SwanStation on RA. It made sense. You just lack knowledge.
Retroarch is horrible. Cores are not updated and hardly work plus nobody really likes them. Just use individual Emulators or use Emudeck,launchbox if you are desperate for a front end.
it's been working fine for me outside of that one game. not sure what your problem is. I was recently reading the RA hate is because of Reddit drama. couldn't care less.

also thanks, anon. turns out my problem was legit RA, as both Beetle HW and Swanstation failed to load my bins. standalone DS did. no problems with the 3 other bins I checked.
>I was recently reading the RA hate is because of Reddit drama. couldn't care less
It is not even due to Reddit drama, it is due to fanatics praising this shit as the 2nd coming of christ and people then whining like you do about how nothing works and blaming the emulator when it's RA that is at fault.
Bully, Liberty City and Vice City Stories, Dark Cloud 2, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Dragon Quest VIII, Legacy Of Kain, Manhunt, The Warriors, RE4, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, Devil May Cry 1 and 3, Lots of racing shit if you even like that, like Midnight Clubs, NFS, Burnouts
DA2 runs well now ? No setting up a bunch of settings to makes sure it runs properly ?
I am aware there is a PC port now, just mostly curious now if there's been proper updates.
that wasn't me. I'm playing a few like Dark Cloud and ChoroQ and some I've tried and haven't really enjoyed but haven't deleted and like half of them are just for multiplayer when friends come around like KoF, Soul Calibur and THPS.
I've noticed my interest in emulation has been waning. I think part of it is, I see someone's library and it's full of games that are on Windows anyways. I wish when people discussed emulating or old games the discussion was about the way to get the best experience with a game and not libraries like where over half the games are best played on PC or emulated elsewhere.
The titles you refer to are only in my library because of Retroachievements. Sorry I triggered your autism. In a few cases, I'd rather play the PS2 version over PC ports though, like Bully for instance. Scholarship edition sucks. Same goes for DMC, FFX and arguably the GTAs. I don't like the PC ports or remasters for one reason or another. Like ya, Max Payne and Half-Life are obviously better on PC but retroachievements, and in the cases of games where Gamecube ports are better, it's not supported yet. Did I ruin your day or something?
In you're in opinion what games should I just emulator of playing PC port? I keep hearing the PC version of bully is the best one. But you seem to think otherwise.
Oh my god it's you!
I'm sorry if you specifically felt called out, I just wanted to share a point of view I don't see represented much that's about getting the best version of a game instead of emulating a random version you remember offhand.
my steam deck. the only thing I hate about it is modding on it is near impossible unless you're going for basic tweaks, and slight gameplay changes. it's the best device for emulation though, because of all the controller configuration settings available, and the fact it has gyro so it can emulate a game like BotW, and mimic the switch's gyro. I have been playing a lot of my emulated games on deck, and the only time I've ever had an issue emulating ANYTHING was dreamcast games. something about them is mad fucked, and only a handful of them actually work on emudeck. Otherwise all 6th gen, and below can either be ran through vulkan, or software rendering.

Keeping it simple. Worth mentioning that i'm running shit that i really shouldn't be running. A shitty laptop was not meant to play PS2 i guess. Oh well, at least God Hand runs consistently at 30 frames.
Any other recs for semi obscure niche and janky ps2 games?

How about.... you know.... playing and enjoying the fucking games with your complete attention on them instead? No?
ps2 emulation is still a good 5 years away from reaching ps1 levels of emulation (as in 99% of games work nearly flawlessly)
until then, i'll keep using a real ps2 with opl
PS2's hardware really pulled a number on pcfags and the whole emulation argument. How the fuck it took so much time to make it when it's one of the most popular consoles of all time?

Anon you're acting real smug considering you know next to nothing about it. It doesn't matter how well you're taking care of your shit unless you LITERALLY have your discs vacuum-sealed, and away from any source of light. It's already happening to Gamecube games.
Okay well I'm going off of science, and based on the concept of oxidation, and real life examples already being presented of DVDs experiencing disc rot I am going to have to say that unless you're vacuum sealing those DVDs they are NOT GOING TO LAST. I don't give a fuck if your CDs/DVDs do, or don't last it's just a fact that they will rot due to oxidization.

GC mini-dvds are the first to go, because production of those mini-dvds weren't made with the best materials meaning they're very vulnerable to oxidation. after GC mini-dvds it will be any dvd disc from early 2000. CDs are pretty tough. I don't expect CDs to rot as early as dvds.

GC discs in particular have tons of issues. They're thinner than standard dvds, the laminated labels peel and that's even less protection. GC consoles are very unreliable too with their proprietary drives.

I thought PS1 disk were made different than normal CDs? So they would end up breaking or rotting way faster.
try emulating the HD version on Xenia, they changed the control scheme for the 360 due to it's lack of pressure sensitive buttons
Doesn't mgs3 require pressure sensitive buttons?
only on the PS2 and PS3 versions, also, the pressure sensitive mechanics aren't really essential to beat the game, you can easily do it, as I have, it's just that it makes for a clunkier experience
>PCSX2 fixed Ace Combat series btw
How fixed is fixed? I've been thinking about a replay. Software mode with the no-interlace and black plane patch was perfect; did they just roll that patch into the main hacks menu or did they fix hardware mode too?
I already played all those games you posted in 2005 you fucking zoomer.
Learn to be born earlier, and learn to fucking pirate. I played a new PS2 game every week or 2 depending on how long each game was.
There's literally a single fucking good game on that console that I haven't played, you absolute zoomer. Emulating 20 year old consoles is literally a zoomer hobby.
hey frens, what is the best way to emulater mgs2 & mgs3? rpcs3 hd collection or pcsx2?
same question for ico & shadow of the colossus, pls helb.
oh one more thing, if anyone has emulated mgs4 what kind of annoying issues did you experience?
PCSX2 probably, it runs better and you'll have a variety of .pnach files and hd texture mods etc if you want those.
RPCS3 requires a beefy computer so you'll essentially brute force everything and yeah whatever just not fan of that software.
Last thing I was playing on PCSX2 was the Digital Devil Saga games and SLAI. Great time for emulation right now. Probably the best it has ever been across the board.

Nope. My first post mocked you for telling people to "learn to emulate," asking if setting up an emulator was so difficult for you that you felt accomplished enough to formulate it the way you did. Then you responded with "99% of people don't know how to emulate," and you posted the article you only read the headline off to reinforce your worldview. That formed a concrete view of what kind of dipshit I'm dealing with.
You insist that everyone else is too dumb to even operate computers, let alone follow basic instructions to set up an emulator, and that it's a learning process beyond most people.

Nope, that's just your legendary reading comprehension on display again. You don't "learn" emulation as a user in the vast majority of cases. You follow the most simple developer instructions. It's not a complicated process. Not emulating and being unable to do so are entirely different things, and the latter is virtually exclusively hardware restrictions.
You could've said from the start that what you meant by "learn to emulate" is that more people should use emulators, but then you immediately went down the road of people not having the mental capacity to do so, and here we are.
You're the type of dipshit retard to read headlines and just run with them. You're lucky I even gave you the time of day after you posted it in the first place, lmao. Maybe because I find it so amusing to go back and forth with a willing schizo retard.

Depends on the emulation environment.
Unpacking encrypted ROMs for citra was pretty tedious for me. Most average gaymers couldn't figure it out or put up with it and would probably get lost the moment they have to download something from a github page.

no one who has played god hand thinks demon elvis is a good boss he has the same problems all the big bosses do where it's too much dodging and very little interaction with the player. god hand is at its best when you do an attack, an enemy reacts, and then you react to that enemy. the fluidity of the combat is what make its cool the bosses like demon elvis or the fly guy go against that design and are just dodge at the right time

Let the adults talk champ
Old news. Im always speeding the PS2 library.
God Hand, some armored cores, some Fighter pilot FEELINGS. uhhh... does KH2 work on it? Only game i think might not mesh. Original plays fine. Great program. Worried i would never get a shot at God Hand. It took alot of tweaking (earlier versions) but now its superfluous.
Budokai Tenkaichi 2/3 is another must... what else?
>all the KH games are on PC
yeah but in like 50gb bloated HD collections and two of them are just the cinematics. you might as well emulate the originals on PC (in japanese) much more easily.
Lies. Just recently, I've been playing all kinds of racing shit from early 2000's, even ancient NFS and Test Drive.
Have you checked PC gaming wiki / widescreen gaming for patches or work-arounds and such?
The more popular games have unofficial installers or config utilities made by fans, posted on github that are foolproof and work really well.
NTA, but Gun on PC has extremely obnoxious mouse acceleration that you can't deactivate. Unless I'm wrong, but I couldn't find the option or anything in the .ini file
There's also GTA in OP's pic, but for some reason I remember playing Gun with mouse acceleration disabled back when I pirated it new, or there was something fucky about its vsync that made it seem like mouse acceleration was on and I managed to disable that.
It supports directInput controllers anyway, so playing it on an emulated console is just a performance hamstring.
Can you use PS2 controllers for these? I fucking HATE the DS3 and anything after. Those piece of shit DS3s in particular must've been made of chinesium because they always wore out and died in less than a year.
I won't be doing that. I will be playing my games on a jailbroken ps2 that I own instead of buggy emulator garbage developed by a discord cabal. same with the switch. Also I will use WINHIIP and not your buggy alternative. now can I opt out of the target ads?
>people are playing totk at 4k 60 fps
how "many" though? you gays always gloat about the switch emulators as if they're snes or some shit, the average pcfag is clearly not playing Pokemon at a locked 60 let alone TotK.
If you committed to a 5800x3d you can play basically anything at a locked 4k 60 on yuzu because the cache actually does matter for it when it normally doesn't for emulation. Graphics cards matter a lot less.
Steam Deck can handle TOTK at 30 and with a hack that boosts it form 720p to 800p (steam decks res) so I imagine anything above like a 1000 series card that's good is probably getting 60fps and/or 4k
Switch emulation isn't SNES tier but it's also not nearly as lacking as it once was.
I'm trying to find more obscure RPGs to play on PS1 and PS2 besides the usual stuff. Right now I'm playing through the .hack games and enjoying it enough
I think it's ridiculous that zoomer hating millennials whine about the news being biased but then go on to parrot some retarded clickbait article using anecdotal evidence as absolute truth, you're more retarded and fucked in the head than we are by a mile. Literally everyone knows how to use file explorer.
It's another anecdote but my works as IT support in a school and is genuinely mortified at how tech illiterate kids are now and says it's directly related to lack of classes teaching students how to use their devices since it's just assumed knowledge now.
the only thing missing now is 21:9 uw hacks for the steam deck and UW monitors alike, similar to the 16:9 hacks which are already on by default on pcsx2
Best way to mention this is ever since 2019 thanks to Stenzek(creator of Duckstation for PS1) and a few extra contributors it has been getting massive overhauls to the point of fixing issues that were around for almost 10 years now and it's virtually way more playable now and near flawless.
I see uncharted 1-3 on pcsx3 is listed as "Games that either can't be finished, have serious glitches or have insufficient performance" but I could have sworn I've seen anons on here say they play fine. Has anyone tried em?
I finally got around to installing a switch emulator, but holy shit the random level up stats in FE are infuriating. Why the fuck did they give you a turn back time feature and not let you reroll for stats with it? It's making me so angry that I'm not sure if I can handle a full playthrough.

you can reroll level ups by changing the RNG - to do this you have to do something different, i.e. if you attack a unit from the front, and you get a bad level up, turn back time and attack it from the side. Because you did something different the level up table is rerolled and you get different stat level ups.
That Fixed Mode is often unlocked by beating the game once or playing on the hardest difficulty is kind of BS for the average player, so I feel you anon.
>a lot more confusing to jump into
It's really not >download emulator >google "[console] bios" >download from internetarchive.com link >move it into the folder that it tells you to move it into
You literally just download one additional file and move it into a different folder. Which you can press an "open bios folder" button in every single emulator that requires you to download a bios if you can't find it manually.
If they're smart enough to find ROMs and download them and then path to them in an emulator, they're smart enough to find BIOS and download them and then path to them in an emulator.
It's the exact same fucking process.
You'd think that but Ganker literally has the lowest IQ of all boards on Ganker. Once I learned this, it altered what I posted on here a lot now understanding who I was talking to.
>Ganker literally has the lowest IQ of all boards on Ganker
You have no way of knowing or proving that.
And again. It is quite literally the exact same process between downloading and "installing" ROMS, and downloading and "installing" BIOS.
The only difference is the folder you put the files into. That's it. You don't have to go into the menus and config the bios or any of that nonsense anymore.
3DS/PS3 and maybe Vita are arguably only at that level of barrier. But you're honestly just lying if you're claiming that WiiU/Switch emulation is remotely plug and play >TWO fucking emulators for Switch >Games stored in mutliple file types because of console hacking mixed with emulation piracy >"File type doesn't matter for Switch emulation (Except when it does)" >Files are a nightmare to come across because of the Nintendo gestapo shutting down anyone reputable willing to host gen 8 content >Tertiary programs, fixes, and mods just to get the games loading and in working shape
CEMU being the worst of all of them. CEMU is a dogshit pain in the ass of a program where nothing fucking works without an afternoon wasted on your part hunting down the solution to shit.
Im not even trying to claim it's truly hard. But they're objectively on a different level of execution barrier to SNES emulators where you can just download any piece of shit and it'll give you super mario world working just fine.
CEMU has deep issues but one thing i will say is when you get it to work, their graphics packs are absolutely a godsend i wish Ryujinx and Yuzu had it. Also Dolphin has cheat codes and other things like this. PCSX2 sadly does not for games and you have to try to go off site and hope it works which it does not.
>PS2 versions tend to be the worst by the way
PS2 was usually the lead platform - you'd know if you were alive back then. So they are typically the most fine tuned for both visuals, performance and controller. Some exceptions lean Xbox, but GC ones are almost always must avoids. SSX3 for example removes half the tricks to compensate for the awful controller. That's not a visual downgrade, that's making the game *worse* for a console.
>PS2 was usually the lead platform - you'd know if you were alive back then.
lmao no it wasn't.
xbox blew out the PS2 in nearly every single multiplat title available that generation.
YOU would know this if YOU were actually alive back then.

I'm 35 years old
PS2 had the biggest library
Xbox had higher technological wise advanced games
Gamecube had the higher variety of games
t. owned a PS2 but neighbors and friends had Xbox and Gamecube so I experienced them all
>lmao no it wasn't.
It was, developers even used ps2 controller adapters to test on other consoles - that's how closely tied the PS2 was to being the lead platform. The concept of a lead platform faded away last generation so it's no surprise you don't know about it.
>PS2 was the lead platform because it had the biggest install base
That's basically it, combined with the bizarre architecture and unique capabilities developers often put the most effort into the PS2 version. Spec sheets don't make up for this, Xbox versions are usually great, PS2 also great, Gamecube often the odd one out. The proliferation of Dolphin gave the audience most interested in older games a skewed perspective on this, but the reality is a different story.

This is entirely true. The problem is PCSX2 was bad for so long that people gravitated towards Dolphin and Dolphin basically sort of became the one that made everyone think Nintendo had a huge base on Gamecube which is not true. PS2 dominated heavily and sold 158 million it is the highest selling console with the widest exclusives and AA and Indie games ever. The only thing that is close in this generation is Switch. Hopefully PCSX2 can somehow figure a way to get cheat codes working on all their games like Duckstation and Dolphin have plus some nice graphical tweaks like ubershaders.
I was alive back then, I started with a Genesis. PS2 dominated in sales and had a lot of exclusives, as well as versions of games with exclusive content but it was the worst hardware of the 3 consoles out at the time and most multiplatform games prove it. Lower framerates, resolution, shittier textures. Have you seen RE4 compared from GC to PS2? Remember when Tales of Symphonia had to be capped to 30fps for the PS2? What is this revisionist ass history you're trying to pull? The PS2 was great because it was a safe bet you'd be able to play almost every game that gen but as a user in 2023 with a gaming PC, is it the best way to play most games? Fucking no.
Not to mention, with rapid advancements in the PC space there are now so many games that are best run natively. Especially with mods, it's like a free HD remaster made exactly the way you want it.
Lot PC games during the PS2 timeline runs like shit or to much of hassle to get working. May Payne, suffering, obscure. Not all games have mod support or good mods.
im finishing majora after having played ocarina after the zelda craze started. theyre incredibly overrated, minus the age even, very tedious at times. the topdown 2D games are the only ones that deserve its praise. but i'm still having fun all around. i'm not sure what to play after this.
nah, but you do have to adhere to one tricky thing. you need to find the hardest games to emulate. >GoW >Sly >Ratchet >GTA SA
and then you have to tweak the pcsx2 settings to accommodate said games, based on user configurations, and you're set. that's if you want ZERO issues.

The netplay version of Duckstation has the same error, and freezes indefinitely the same way. Older version of duckstation however, launches and works without a hitch. Dunno what the issue is

>fixed Darkstalkers and SF Alpha collections
I'm going home. I kneel PCSX2.
Why play collections of weird ports instead of emulating the arcade games?
Vampire Savior having all the characters instead of arbitrarily cutting out Phobos, Pyron and Donovan for one, the Alpha collection has a bunch of dumb extras I enjoy too.
I'll play the regular ones on fightcade but I'm far from an arcade purityfag. If Alpha 3 Max got put on there I'd drop the CPS2 version in a heartbeat.
Ganker unironically doesn't play games and Ganker is a poorer dumber version of Ganker.
>that much blood on the brain
that bothers me
Those particular collections have a bunch of extra content that isn't in the arcade versions.
What was the issue?
Duckstation finally got Fear Effect working properly for me after RetroArch was throwing infinite loading screens. good shit so far
Xemu also fixed Gunvalkyrie
Recently? I know there was a patch some time last year that helped a lot with the slowdowns.
Yeah you couldnt boost at all without it slowing down intensely or all together crashing, now you can do all of the movements at full speed
retroarch is a frontend, what you just said made no sense.
RetroArch has custom branches of most emulators that differ from mainline, including DuckStation, which is called SwanStation on RA. It made sense. You just lack knowledge.
a standalone being "better" just means the core is outdated, bud.
You're dumbass should been using duckstation not retroarch. The game been working for since I used DS years ago.
>You're dumbass
>The game been working
>for since I used DS years
here's your (You) ESL
Retroarch is horrible. Cores are not updated and hardly work plus nobody really likes them. Just use individual Emulators or use Emudeck,launchbox if you are desperate for a front end.
it's been working fine for me outside of that one game. not sure what your problem is. I was recently reading the RA hate is because of Reddit drama. couldn't care less.
also thanks, anon. turns out my problem was legit RA, as both Beetle HW and Swanstation failed to load my bins. standalone DS did. no problems with the 3 other bins I checked.
>I was recently reading the RA hate is because of Reddit drama. couldn't care less
It is not even due to Reddit drama, it is due to fanatics praising this shit as the 2nd coming of christ and people then whining like you do about how nothing works and blaming the emulator when it's RA that is at fault.
Post 'em
How do i get this UI
https://pcsx2.net/downloads get the nightly release
Why is the stable only 32-bit
because they converted to x64 only and dropped x32 only during 1.7 like Dolphin did a long time ago
new stable when
Never, they're pulling a Dolphin. No one wants to bother with a feature freeze.
Then I will use the old stable forever and keep making threads about how bad it is
there's nothing wrong with the nightly
Nightly version 1.7.4
You need to set covers manually
am I missing anything?
Bully, Liberty City and Vice City Stories, Dark Cloud 2, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Dragon Quest VIII, Legacy Of Kain, Manhunt, The Warriors, RE4, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, Devil May Cry 1 and 3, Lots of racing shit if you even like that, like Midnight Clubs, NFS, Burnouts

DA2 runs well now ? No setting up a bunch of settings to makes sure it runs properly ?
I am aware there is a PC port now, just mostly curious now if there's been proper updates.
Yes it does but only with nightly, I know the pain of trying to run it before I used nightly but now everything is fixed
so anon, how many of these games have you a) played and b) finished?
I haven't played any of them
i already knew that. i'm the same with emulation. all those free games are very fun to "collect" and then I never do anything with them.
That's why I only download one at a time. I play that, and then download another.
that wasn't me. I'm playing a few like Dark Cloud and ChoroQ and some I've tried and haven't really enjoyed but haven't deleted and like half of them are just for multiplayer when friends come around like KoF, Soul Calibur and THPS.
I've noticed my interest in emulation has been waning. I think part of it is, I see someone's library and it's full of games that are on Windows anyways. I wish when people discussed emulating or old games the discussion was about the way to get the best experience with a game and not libraries like where over half the games are best played on PC or emulated elsewhere.
The titles you refer to are only in my library because of Retroachievements. Sorry I triggered your autism. In a few cases, I'd rather play the PS2 version over PC ports though, like Bully for instance. Scholarship edition sucks. Same goes for DMC, FFX and arguably the GTAs. I don't like the PC ports or remasters for one reason or another. Like ya, Max Payne and Half-Life are obviously better on PC but retroachievements, and in the cases of games where Gamecube ports are better, it's not supported yet. Did I ruin your day or something?
In you're in opinion what games should I just emulator of playing PC port? I keep hearing the PC version of bully is the best one. But you seem to think otherwise.
Oh my god it's you!
I'm sorry if you specifically felt called out, I just wanted to share a point of view I don't see represented much that's about getting the best version of a game instead of emulating a random version you remember offhand.
For anons who have both a desktop and steam deck. Which platform do you guys prefer as an emulation device
Whats a good ace combat and armored core for new fags
>a good ace combat
Start with 4.
my steam deck. the only thing I hate about it is modding on it is near impossible unless you're going for basic tweaks, and slight gameplay changes. it's the best device for emulation though, because of all the controller configuration settings available, and the fact it has gyro so it can emulate a game like BotW, and mimic the switch's gyro. I have been playing a lot of my emulated games on deck, and the only time I've ever had an issue emulating ANYTHING was dreamcast games. something about them is mad fucked, and only a handful of them actually work on emudeck. Otherwise all 6th gen, and below can either be ran through vulkan, or software rendering.
I prefer my steam deck, being able to go from the sofa to the bed with my emulated games is pretty comfy
I like that not even tendies will know this feel. They're stuck with Splatoon, Bing Bing Wahoo, and tablet Zelda
you can easily hack a switch to emulate too
Too lazy and looks complicated to do that, maybe later.

Sheer library size
so you dont have to suffer through 360p or 480i
Instead you get blurry as fuck >1080 and hardware renderer bugs.
looks good to me
Depends on the game. Looks awful if there isn't a working de-interlace patch.
I dont really notice. The deinterlacing they do works well enough. If it looks blurry you just hit F5 until it doesnt.
To play the game at a real resolution/fps and not 640×480/30fps
Looks great on a crt.
But yeah, if you dont own one, emulate.
Upscalers are an expensive hobby
same, but I also have 38 inch CRT tv with RCA connectors. why would I emulate a trilogy that's I've had physical copies of for over a decade?
disc rot is a real thing. if you're not burning your discs, and playing off the copies you can 100% expect to not have it last in the future.
I keep hearing this but have PS1 games from the 90s still working. Take care of you shit.
>I keep hearing this but have PS1 games from the 90s still working. Take care of you shit.
Anon you're acting real smug considering you know next to nothing about it. It doesn't matter how well you're taking care of your shit unless you LITERALLY have your discs vacuum-sealed, and away from any source of light. It's already happening to Gamecube games.
Okay I'm going off experience. I take care of my shit and it's never happened. Stop being idiot with your tech. Don't store your games in 100+ room.
Okay well I'm going off of science, and based on the concept of oxidation, and real life examples already being presented of DVDs experiencing disc rot I am going to have to say that unless you're vacuum sealing those DVDs they are NOT GOING TO LAST. I don't give a fuck if your CDs/DVDs do, or don't last it's just a fact that they will rot due to oxidization.
>science, and based on the concept of oxidation, and real life examples
Lmao.
Some retard left his games in 100+ temperature room for year. No!! My games are rotting. Stop acting you even know the first thing about science.
You are such a dumb fucking moron holy shit. You must fare from a third world favela.
Hurts being wrong. No, need sperg out over it.
Hurts being a moron. No need to be all brordly because someone spotted you being gorilla moron uppity.
I understand my friend. You did not take care of your GameCube games. Disk rotting got to all of them. It's not you're fault, you live in you're mom basement.
I don't own a gamecube, or gamecube games lmfao. Maybe if you pray to your god Harambe you can ask him to take something I really do own.
My point exactly. You don't know what you're talking about. Never experience anything, but the sound of you're mom getting fuck by muipltle black men and cube midget.

What happened to everyone saying PS1 game's were all going to stop working by now? Because of disk rot.
I just bought lose PS1 games ofd ebay that work fine.
GC mini-dvds are the first to go, because production of those mini-dvds weren't made with the best materials meaning they're very vulnerable to oxidation. after GC mini-dvds it will be any dvd disc from early 2000. CDs are pretty tough. I don't expect CDs to rot as early as dvds.
GC discs in particular have tons of issues. They're thinner than standard dvds, the laminated labels peel and that's even less protection. GC consoles are very unreliable too with their proprietary drives.
I thought PS1 disk were made different than normal CDs? So they would end up breaking or rotting way faster.
But that sucks for GameCube fans.

Is MGS3 capable of running full 60fps patch on a decent PC now? If so my main gripes with this emu are dead and buried.
Doesn't mgs3 require pressure sensitive buttons?
Yeah
try emulating the HD version on Xenia, they changed the control scheme for the 360 due to it's lack of pressure sensitive buttons
only on the PS2 and PS3 versions, also, the pressure sensitive mechanics aren't really essential to beat the game, you can easily do it, as I have, it's just that it makes for a clunkier experience
360 has pressure sensitive buttons you dumb retard
360 doesn't, original xbox, ps3 and ps2 do
>ps2 do
I recall reading this once, did a game ever use it?
not that anon but MGS2 and 3 used it for pulling the trigger, if you lightly pressed it and let it go you'd ease off the trigger instead of firing.
I also think GT3 or 4 might've used it for the throttle?
MGS2 and 3. Best version of those games are ironically the Xbox 360 HD remasters due to having a button modifier for the pressure sensitive actions.
A little known series called grand theft auto did.
Explain how I played DOA: Extreme 2 pool minigame then.
you explain it fuckhead, he's right, the 360 only had analog triggers not facebuttons
you could years ago
>PCSX2 fixed Ace Combat series btw
How fixed is fixed? I've been thinking about a replay. Software mode with the no-interlace and black plane patch was perfect; did they just roll that patch into the main hacks menu or did they fix hardware mode too?

Hardware mode didn't have clouds. Who's gonna play a plane game without clouds?

Orta, ran like shit a few months ago and no word if it's improved.
According to the discord it's been improved again
I already played all those games you posted in 2005 you fucking zoomer.
Learn to be born earlier, and learn to fucking pirate. I played a new PS2 game every week or 2 depending on how long each game was.
There's literally a single fucking good game on that console that I haven't played, you absolute zoomer. Emulating 20 year old consoles is literally a zoomer hobby.
retard
Which one is it?
Ok but is the input lag still shit
input lag was fixed years ago
How many years ago and what build.
why dont you just dl the nightly and stop asking retarded questions
You made the assertion it is and I want a question answered you stupid moron.
>WHAT SPECIFIC BUILD HURR DURR
what the fuck does that matter when you can literally look at the input lag reduction in the menu you SPERG

Does it have exclusive fullscreen yet?
yes
what about champions of norrath?
I beat CoN in 2020, ran pretty well.
I should get myself a controller

Why doesn't the flatpak on steam deck update nightlies anymore?
Why are you using flatpak instead of appimage?
OK but, what are some easy to emulate games?
I would love emulate PS2 but my computer is pretty shit.
How shit of a PC do you have? Because I ran sotc on a i5 3570k a decade ago. if you're even close to that decade old processor you'll emulate fine
>i ran super popular game once so the requirements must be low!
Bro, stop.
? Sotc is one of the hardest games to run, bro
ps2 emulation is still a good 5 years away from reaching ps1 levels of emulation (as in 99% of games work nearly flawlessly)
until then, i'll keep using a real ps2 with opl
literal autism
Same. I hope emulation makes some leaps and bounds before I need to switch to it.
>99% of games work nearly flawlessly)
Already a thing
>opl
based. there is really no point in ps2 emulation. costs like maybe 100 bucks for the full kit to play ps2 games from hard drive.
Cringe. Not everyone wants to play in 240i like autists.
>ace kombat
I rather play the real ace game
Bro. This is superior. But the STORIES and FEELINGS of ace combat are what they are.
They also dropped the the game after it was stable too... not long after.
AoA Delimiter is that high octane shit though.
>But the STORIES and FEELINGS of ace combat are what they are
Maybe but Ace 7 was fucking shit. It was Ace 5 for zoomers.
This shit was kinda ass, man. would've much rather held on to my money for ACE8
>devs ditching the game instead of making expansions
Wasted potential
Somebody answer my fucking question
hey frens, what is the best way to emulater mgs2 & mgs3? rpcs3 hd collection or pcsx2?
same question for ico & shadow of the colossus, pls helb.
oh one more thing, if anyone has emulated mgs4 what kind of annoying issues did you experience?
>ico & shadow of the colossus
PCSX2. the ps3 collection of those games are fucked up, as usual by Bluepoint.
Based retard
Cringe retard. They fucked up the grip and physics
>le grip is fucked
It's completely fine, moron
But if your retarded moron ass can't somehow handle it you can just look for lizard tails
>Im a dumb gay who doesnt know what hes talking about
Kek every time. they fucked up MGS collection too. they are a trash developer
No idea about MGS but you'd be shitting on the original team too, since they worked in tandem for SotC and ICO HD
I'll never understand people who defend trash remasters. What the hell is the point?
Straight up downgrades are brushed off by shills
Yeah we know PS2 fog and lightning is hard to replicate on other consoles, but at least the PS3 version is not a slideshow.
PCSX2 with 60fps patch but make sure you downclock the EM so you don't drop frames(happens near the end of the game)
PCSX2 probably, it runs better and you'll have a variety of .pnach files and hd texture mods etc if you want those.
RPCS3 requires a beefy computer so you'll essentially brute force everything and yeah whatever just not fan of that software.
I'm most interested in PS4 emulation at this point
Why would I want to play PS2 shovelware? Any game worth playing has a PC version.
>any game worth playing has le PC version
Where is Monster Hunter 2 then?
I just want gbo3
ps3 emu when
why the fuck are they porting gbo2 an outdated ps2 gundam game to steam 30 years later
>PCSX2 fixed Ace Combat series btw
even ace combat 4?
For me it's aethersx2
>zoomers need to learn how to emulate old ass games
JUST
>mfw playing them on ps2 with the rest of the chads with zero worries
Last thing I was playing on PCSX2 was the Digital Devil Saga games and SLAI. Great time for emulation right now. Probably the best it has ever been across the board.
>learn to emulate
kek, you're a user, not a developer. Was "learning to emulate" so difficult for you that you consider it an accomplishment that separate you from the rest?
are you retarded? 99% of people dont know how to emulate
Are you? You don't learn anything. You follow basic instructions. It's like saying you're learning something by putting together Ikea furniture.

You're living in your own little reality where everyone other than you is an idiot. Anyone with a brain can set up an emulator. You don't have to learn anything. It's not emulation development. You don't need to compile the files yourself. You're more smug about being able to use emulators than emulation devs are about fucking developing them, lmao.

You. You're implying that there is a learning curve to basic instruction. Your response to this notion getting ridiculed was to point out that people can't even use computers, posting a screencap of an article you only read the headline of. You've spent however many posts now arguing that people are stupid and you are not. It's hilarious.
In short, dumb gay feels good about having overcome the "emulation barrier" and thinks his own stupidity means people have trouble setting up emulators.

Which one? You're the one who suddenly asked for a link in response to something that wasn't quoting anything.

You're dumber than I thought. You posted the screencap of the article to make it seem that most people can't even use a computer, let alone follow basic instructions to set up an emulator and that it was a learning process. I've corrected you and told you that it simply states that zoomers use computers differently and would be able to follow the same basic instructions. It's not a learning process. You're braindead.
>You're the one who suddenly asked for a link in response to something that wasn't quoting anything.

>You made up a schizo argument in your head.
Nope. My first post mocked you for telling people to "learn to emulate," asking if setting up an emulator was so difficult for you that you felt accomplished enough to formulate it the way you did. Then you responded with "99% of people don't know how to emulate," and you posted the article you only read the headline off to reinforce your worldview. That formed a concrete view of what kind of dipshit I'm dealing with.
You insist that everyone else is too dumb to even operate computers, let alone follow basic instructions to set up an emulator, and that it's a learning process beyond most people.
>I know schizo anon it really must suck
You should be known as self-awareness-kun. I suggest finding a rope.
>99% of people don't know how to emulate,"
True. They don't. Then you conceded here
Thank God you're projecting about your suicide though, I've got prayer hands right now
Nope, that's just your legendary reading comprehension on display again. You don't "learn" emulation as a user in the vast majority of cases. You follow the most simple developer instructions. It's not a complicated process. Not emulating and being unable to do so are entirely different things, and the latter is virtually exclusively hardware restrictions.
You could've said from the start that what you meant by "learn to emulate" is that more people should use emulators, but then you immediately went down the road of people not having the mental capacity to do so, and here we are.
You're the type of dipshit retard to read headlines and just run with them. You're lucky I even gave you the time of day after you posted it in the first place, lmao. Maybe because I find it so amusing to go back and forth with a willing schizo retard.
>um actually users just don't know how to emulate

Stupid moron. They would have to learn emulation either way. You getting on your soap box about it is so cringe. You're the one who freaked out about three words to begin with, and then conceded here. Actually have a nice day. Freak.
The gaps work from opposite ends. Your argument whatever it is, self defeats.
Generalizing mankind to make it seem like you stand above due to having "learned to use emulation" is one of the funniest things I've seen on this board.
Quit looking up at me then bitch
no one who has played god hand thinks demon elvis is a good boss he has the same problems all the big bosses do where it's too much dodging and very little interaction with the player. god hand is at its best when you do an attack, an enemy reacts, and then you react to that enemy. the fluidity of the combat is what make its cool the bosses like demon elvis or the fly guy go against that design and are just dodge at the right time
Just shut up. I will be God damned a skid tell me how to enjoy God Hand. Its a fucking meme
the fact god hand fans can't accept any criticism is really funny. you guys treat the game as basically a cool movie rather than wanting to actually discuss the gameplay

Have you checked PC gaming wiki / widescreen gaming for patches or work-arounds and such?
The more popular games have unofficial installers or config utilities made by fans, posted on github that are foolproof and work really well.
You should stop PC gaming altogether. I was just playing sudden strike game from the 90s just fine.

I can boot up Command and Conquer Generals right now and it will work flawlessly
No it dose not.
NTA, but Gun on PC has extremely obnoxious mouse acceleration that you can't deactivate. Unless I'm wrong, but I couldn't find the option or anything in the .ini file
no fixes for it, its a pretty bad port. way better to emulate it
There's also GTA in OP's pic, but for some reason I remember playing Gun with mouse acceleration disabled back when I pirated it new, or there was something fucky about its vsync that made it seem like mouse acceleration was on and I managed to disable that.
It supports directInput controllers anyway, so playing it on an emulated console is just a performance hamstring.
Can you use PS2 controllers for these? I fucking HATE the DS3 and anything after. Those piece of shit DS3s in particular must've been made of chinesium because they always wore out and died in less than a year.
Ps4 dualshock and a dongle converter work fine. Dongle is just for BT

how "many" though? you gays always gloat about the switch emulators as if they're snes or some shit, the average pcfag is clearly not playing Pokemon at a locked 60 let alone TotK.
>how many
Who gives a shit?
If you committed to a 5800x3d you can play basically anything at a locked 4k 60 on yuzu because the cache actually does matter for it when it normally doesn't for emulation. Graphics cards matter a lot less.
Steam Deck can handle TOTK at 30 and with a hack that boosts it form 720p to 800p (steam decks res) so I imagine anything above like a 1000 series card that's good is probably getting 60fps and/or 4k
Switch emulation isn't SNES tier but it's also not nearly as lacking as it once was.
does Advance Wars run any good?
Didn't even know it was released.
Seems like it.
Yes. Literally every game except bayo 3 runs great on ryujinx and/or yuzu.

Literally everyone knows how to use file explorer.
It's another anecdote but my works as IT support in a school and is genuinely mortified at how tech illiterate kids are now and says it's directly related to lack of classes teaching students how to use their devices since it's just assumed knowledge now.
My mate*
Well as gen z I've been family and friends tech support enough to know normalfags in general don't know how to computer.
How good is android emu?
Grabbed a nice tablet recently, haven't touched emu outside pc since ever.
Hell, haven't updated my emu choices. My folder is straight outta 2003 with nesticle, kega and zsnes.
Whats the top tier emu shit now?
Can do PS2/GameCube and up to ps Vita/switch
Ha, i was gonna say "but how" with regards to the switch, but then i remembered it's hardware.
Wish we got another kings field game
Never will. Could you imagine all the idiots complaining about KF not being a Souls game?
using playnite grid view
Good stuff, Carl. Can I call you Carl?
i wish my name was carl
Is this also Playnite? Does it also work with Steam library?
I have a PS2 and a GBS-C
the only thing missing now is 21:9 uw hacks for the steam deck and UW monitors alike, similar to the 16:9 hacks which are already on by default on pcsx2
then it would be truly perfect
>PCSX2 was stuck in the 00's all this time
>All of a sudden there's an update every day
What happened?
It's always been getting updates
Not like this.
Best way to mention this is ever since 2019 thanks to Stenzek(creator of Duckstation for PS1) and a few extra contributors it has been getting massive overhauls to the point of fixing issues that were around for almost 10 years now and it's virtually way more playable now and near flawless.
Just played some tony hawk, did some tricks, almost threw up, love being old, can't even play a 3d game no more
>Still demands software rendering to not run like shit
lol
lmao
I see uncharted 1-3 on pcsx3 is listed as "Games that either can't be finished, have serious glitches or have insufficient performance" but I could have sworn I've seen anons on here say they play fine. Has anyone tried em?
its rpcs3 not pcsx3 you Fucking. Miotgher Fucking/. Fuick9ijng . RETARD!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I combined the ps2 and ps3 emulators in my head.
Idk I tired Uncharted 1 last week. Could barely keep 30 fps.
I finally got around to installing a switch emulator, but holy shit the random level up stats in FE are infuriating. Why the fuck did they give you a turn back time feature and not let you reroll for stats with it? It's making me so angry that I'm not sure if I can handle a full playthrough.
Can't you use savestates to reroll, or is the RNG locked in or something?
you can reroll level ups by changing the RNG - to do this you have to do something different, i.e. if you attack a unit from the front, and you get a bad level up, turn back time and attack it from the side. Because you did something different the level up table is rerolled and you get different stat level ups.
Okay, that's something at least. I might be able to stomach it for Bernadette.
That Fixed Mode is often unlocked by beating the game once or playing on the hardest difficulty is kind of BS for the average player, so I feel you anon.
That's part of the game dummy. There's a reason they give you a billion units
It's kind of interesting exposing old game's tricks with emulation tricks

Conclusion: Demon Conversations in Nocturne were always just unfair bullshit
some demons won't join you no matter what, or take multiple conversation tries, same as in any MegaTen
this is why i'm glad i don't play garbage games.
pcsx2 is a garbage emulator
What else should I play based on these?
FF9
Played it long ago on ps1 I think? Had like 3 discs. Don’t think I ever beat it though so I’ll check it out
Please tell me you're not emulating GTA2? If you are at least do the dreamcast version.
Why not? Dreamcast version better?
I thought was the PS1 version. If it's the dreamcast version that's alright. But the PC version is the way to go.
On steam deck though and too retarded to set up the non emulation version
shadow of colossus on ps2 emulator or ps3?
Why does Tekken Tag run so bad? Is it just impossible to fix?
>"Learn" to emulate
????
Everything up to gen 7 is literally fucking plug and play. Find rom, find emulator, set up controls. Done.
I will admit that 360/PS3/WiiU/3DS/Switch/Vita is a lot more confusing to jump into, but finding a SNES or Gameboy game is retard proof.
Never overestimate Ganker's intelligence.
>a lot more confusing to jump into
It's really not
>download emulator
>google "[console] bios"
>download from internetarchive.com link
>move it into the folder that it tells you to move it into
You literally just download one additional file and move it into a different folder. Which you can press an "open bios folder" button in every single emulator that requires you to download a bios if you can't find it manually.
Stop overestimating Ganker's intelligence. Rule of thumb.
If they're smart enough to find ROMs and download them and then path to them in an emulator, they're smart enough to find BIOS and download them and then path to them in an emulator.
It's the exact same fucking process.
You'd think that but Ganker literally has the lowest IQ of all boards on Ganker. Once I learned this, it altered what I posted on here a lot now understanding who I was talking to.
>tfw to intelligent to post on Ganker
Open the front page/catalog and you'll understand how true this is.
What went so wrong with this board?
>Ganker literally has the lowest IQ of all boards on Ganker
You have no way of knowing or proving that.
And again. It is quite literally the exact same process between downloading and "installing" ROMS, and downloading and "installing" BIOS.
The only difference is the folder you put the files into. That's it. You don't have to go into the menus and config the bios or any of that nonsense anymore.
3DS/PS3 and maybe Vita are arguably only at that level of barrier. But you're honestly just lying if you're claiming that WiiU/Switch emulation is remotely plug and play
>TWO fucking emulators for Switch
>Games stored in mutliple file types because of console hacking mixed with emulation piracy
>"File type doesn't matter for Switch emulation (Except when it does)"
>Files are a nightmare to come across because of the Nintendo gestapo shutting down anyone reputable willing to host gen 8 content
>Tertiary programs, fixes, and mods just to get the games loading and in working shape
CEMU being the worst of all of them. CEMU is a dogshit pain in the ass of a program where nothing fucking works without an afternoon wasted on your part hunting down the solution to shit.
Im not even trying to claim it's truly hard. But they're objectively on a different level of execution barrier to SNES emulators where you can just download any piece of shit and it'll give you super mario world working just fine.
CEMU has deep issues but one thing i will say is when you get it to work, their graphics packs are absolutely a godsend i wish Ryujinx and Yuzu had it. Also Dolphin has cheat codes and other things like this. PCSX2 sadly does not for games and you have to try to go off site and hope it works which it does not.
PC is truly the patrician platform.

But those are all the good games

You are the exception and not the rule on the lowest IQ board of all of Ganker.
Not much of an obsession, takes maybe 2 minutes tops for most games. PS2 versions tend to be the worst by the way.
>PS2 versions tend to be the worst by the way
PS2 was usually the lead platform - you'd know if you were alive back then. So they are typically the most fine tuned for both visuals, performance and controller. Some exceptions lean Xbox, but GC ones are almost always must avoids. SSX3 for example removes half the tricks to compensate for the awful controller. That's not a visual downgrade, that's making the game *worse* for a console.
>PS2 was usually the lead platform - you'd know if you were alive back then.
lmao no it wasn't.
xbox blew out the PS2 in nearly every single multiplat title available that generation.
YOU would know this if YOU were actually alive back then.
I'm 35 years old
PS2 had the biggest library
Xbox had higher technological wise advanced games
Gamecube had the higher variety of games
t. owned a PS2 but neighbors and friends had Xbox and Gamecube so I experienced them all
>lmao no it wasn't.
It was, developers even used ps2 controller adapters to test on other consoles - that's how closely tied the PS2 was to being the lead platform. The concept of a lead platform faded away last generation so it's no surprise you don't know about it.
PS2 was the lead platform because it had the biggest install base and because it was the worst running hardware they'd have to develop for.
>developers even used ps2 controller adapters to test on other consoles
Citation needed
>PS2 was the lead platform because it had the biggest install base
That's basically it, combined with the bizarre architecture and unique capabilities developers often put the most effort into the PS2 version. Spec sheets don't make up for this, Xbox versions are usually great, PS2 also great, Gamecube often the odd one out. The proliferation of Dolphin gave the audience most interested in older games a skewed perspective on this, but the reality is a different story.
This is entirely true. The problem is PCSX2 was bad for so long that people gravitated towards Dolphin and Dolphin basically sort of became the one that made everyone think Nintendo had a huge base on Gamecube which is not true. PS2 dominated heavily and sold 158 million it is the highest selling console with the widest exclusives and AA and Indie games ever. The only thing that is close in this generation is Switch. Hopefully PCSX2 can somehow figure a way to get cheat codes working on all their games like Duckstation and Dolphin have plus some nice graphical tweaks like ubershaders.
Owned both and Xbox beat out ps2 on graphics and it would've been an embarrassment if it didn't. You could hardly go wrong picking either though.
I was alive back then, I started with a Genesis. PS2 dominated in sales and had a lot of exclusives, as well as versions of games with exclusive content but it was the worst hardware of the 3 consoles out at the time and most multiplatform games prove it. Lower framerates, resolution, shittier textures. Have you seen RE4 compared from GC to PS2? Remember when Tales of Symphonia had to be capped to 30fps for the PS2? What is this revisionist ass history you're trying to pull? The PS2 was great because it was a safe bet you'd be able to play almost every game that gen but as a user in 2023 with a gaming PC, is it the best way to play most games? Fucking no.
Not to mention, with rapid advancements in the PC space there are now so many games that are best run natively. Especially with mods, it's like a free HD remaster made exactly the way you want it.
Lot PC games during the PS2 timeline runs like shit or to much of hassle to get working. May Payne, suffering, obscure. Not all games have mod support or good mods.
Sometimes it's easier to just emulate thr game
I guess I can't relate to brainlet mentality. I'll put in the 2 minute trip to PCGW.
>I'll put in the 2 minute trip to PCGW

Is the revisionism in the room with us right now?
Yes anon, it's all around me. Make it go away
Yes. Learn to read
Learn what revisionism is
Yes you Niggie.
Take your meds
Stop being angry.
But that's you tho
GC re4 is actually higher quality than PS2 re4, and the same can be said about GC viewtiful joe.
True but PS RE4 has the gangster outfit and infinite chicago typewriter
This is not the "gotcha" you think it is, anon...
Anyone got some co-op recs?

You mean type into google best "settings for X emulation" and then follow the guide?
Thats not exactly a skill one has to practise.
You'd be surprised by your average Ganker poster.
im finishing majora after having played ocarina after the zelda craze started. theyre incredibly overrated, minus the age even, very tedious at times. the topdown 2D games are the only ones that deserve its praise. but i'm still having fun all around. i'm not sure what to play after this.
>Go to youtube
>Type "how to set up pcsx2"
>Follow tutorial
>???
>Play games
Is setting this thing up that hard?
nah, but you do have to adhere to one tricky thing. you need to find the hardest games to emulate.
>GoW
>Sly
>Ratchet
>GTA SA
and then you have to tweak the pcsx2 settings to accommodate said games, based on user configurations, and you're set. that's if you want ZERO issues.
How about just learning to read instead watching tiktok all the time? No wonder why the collective IQ is declining.
PS2 has no games.
anyone still have a link to that yuzu/ryujinx guide that was circulating before totk's launch?
It's also illegal
You are a criminal
Can't wait for companies to crack down on emulation, hopefully sooner rather than later
No u
You retards fall for this bait everytime.

yeah okay retard 🙂
have a nice day.

The netplay version of Duckstation has the same error, and freezes indefinitely the same way. Older version of duckstation however, launches and works without a hitch. Dunno what the issue is
Dude I don't know how you fucked that up I did it as a 16 year old shit head 10 years ago on some shitty alienware laptop I got at a garage sale you should absolutely be able to follow a YT vid, and step by step do what is provided in said vid if it's this much of an issue.
so by the end of the century we can expect 100% functional emulator?
Took those morons long enough. Now we just need OPL to not be such an unnecessarily complicated piece of shit.

Ah, fellow man of taste and gameplay
Don't have covers set up unfortunately
I play on a real PS2 with CRT tho
You can use a computer on a CRT setup even if it's a pain.
Have fun with the overscan
Where can I find one for cheap?
