I don't understand the meme about it being shit. Every PS2 game I throw at it works flawlessly with very minor glitches which is expected from emulation. What's the deal guys?

That's cool and everything but are you going to beat any games or just talk about how it plays the first level of every game?
On pcsx2 I've beaten klonoa2, all the Jak and daxter games ,Ratchet and clank trilogy. and also Harry potter and the chamber of secrets.
2 outcomes from this,
I'm batshit crazy
or
You are all fricking liars
You've played the most entry level PS2 games imaginable, are you going to play any more fricking games is what I'm asking. Play some fricking games. Do it. Don't bullshit here, just do it and come talk about them for fricks sake.
>n-no not THOSE games!!
Stfu moron, moving goalposts isn't an argument
Also R&C is infamously CPU intensive
I don't fricking care, play some fricking games already not shit you already played 20 years ago, everyone played that shit, play some fricking games. Just play some fricking games.
>everyone played that shit
I've never touched Klonoa, Jak and Daxter, or Ratchet and Clank.
Pretty sad but that's as entry level as it gets on the PS2. When are you going to start playing more PS2 games? After this thread? A week from now? You aren't getting any younger.
What an obnoxious tryhard.
Playing more and more games isn't really my endgame in life, anon. I play plenty of other games. Right now, I'm sitting down and eating while reading through some threads on Ganker. Would you like me to also inform you of when I go take a shit later so you know exactly what I'm up to when I'm not playing video games? have a nice day.
>ugh...playing games? Why would I ummmm play games? On a board about playing games? Hello??
What inspires this sort of feminine passive aggression? Men of passivity, not of action. Those who do not play games talk like this.
stop being a homosexual
Start playing games.
You are an impressive breed of schizo. Godspeed anon. Keep on doing whatever it is you're doing.
Literal schizo behavior, take your meds.
Really tapping that PS2 library. What's next, Madden 05? "Fear the D!"
>Also R&C is infamously CPU intensive
works on my machine
Yeah, that's why I'm saying it's impressive it runs so well.
Jak 2 was known to be broken and it has since became near perfect. Take you meds
Clean it up jannies
Frick off I needed to test my FFMPEG!
How do the ratchet games Run? Can they do 60 FPS? If it helps I have a decent computer 5800 X 3070
They run near perfect.
But I can only speak for windows version
Linux I still havn't tried.
MacOS on M1 is totally broken.
I 100%'d Bully on PCSX2 with no problems.
That's what people who "emulate" are doing: they take a 4k screenshot of some Mario game running on xbox series x and then post it on R-eddit and write something stupid comment like "This is so MINT and runs PERFECTLY" just to get more upvotes. In reality these are morons who have no idea what they are doing and if they actually played the same games (on that platform) they'd know it doesn't even run that well.
Most people who emulate don't have any fricking clue what they are doing. This is one of the reasons why people call a software "shit" or "bad"...
The biggest issue with the PCSX2 is the dev and how nasty he is irl and the second issue is there are no alternative emulators.
I completed Ace Combat trilogy (in software mode, but I don't care, just put more threads to renderer and it's fine), Project Zero trilogy, Siren games, Shadow of Memories, and Shadow Tower Abyss about 5 or 6 years ago.
Played Odin Sphere, DMC 1-3, God Of War and SRW OGs. Had very few problems
>played
>but not beat
Dont be autistic. Out of those listed i only dropped Odin Sphere on the last book, rest i played to completion
I beat Shadow of Collossus with it
Ganker hates effective programs
Ganker is full of armchair programmers who have never made anything in there lives, criticizing code or apps for the way they look, rather than their functionality
and now it also looks great
I'd bet most of the problems were with the UI and being a pain to set up per-game settings compared to Dolphin.
You'd be right.
Back when Pcsx2 was a thing, I only would play like one game at a time so it didn't bother me. I wasn't trying to have a meme library of every PS2 game
That's mostly true, except completely invalid in the context of PS2 emulation where 99% of all complaints have been about its functionality.
Emulating PS2 and ps3 games are probably the most soulless things you can do.
Lmaoo have fun trying to boot up those old games and consoles in about 20 years
>cope
>I wont buy a 30yo game for $70
Emulating is the best way to experience and archive all game
>moronic animeposter doesn't know what you are supposed to greentext
every time
That's just it, it's a meme. It's not shit and works great
Try Spider-man 2
>play it in dolphin
That's not the point.
If you're using the nightly builds, it's getting into a pretty good state now. The past couple of years have really cleaned up quite a few of the major issues that plagued the emulator. It got a bad reputation because it was so terrible for so long.
Granted, things still have a lot of problems depending on the specific game. Fatal Frame 1 is a great example, where ghosts don't render properly in hardware, and the game locks up on the final boss if you look in a specific direction. It's still got a long way to go in some places.
I prefer the sequel, RPCS3
Speaking of. How does that work for mid tier builds? I have a few games in mind that I would like to playthrough again, mostly HD remasters like MGS, God Of War... and trophy support I gotta know about trophy support
Define mid tier build. I have a i5 6600 and GTX 970 and it runs the games I care about (Armored Core, Dragon's Crown, Demon's Souls) reasonably well. I say reasonably because I don't know if Demon's Souls can actually run any better.
GTX 1060 6gb ryzen 5 5600.
I'm mainly just looking to replay some of those HD remasters
Should be fine for those, just make sure they're compatible https://rpcs3.net/compatibility
Oh, and yes, there is trophy support. It lists all the trophies for all the games you own, and you can even see hidden ones. I'd post a screenshot but I'm rangebanned.
>I don't know if Demon's Souls can actually run any better.
it's literally just
>lmao the devs are incompetent still no x64 support
>lmao no vulkan support
>the UI looks like shit lol
*all these things get fixed
>t-they took too long!
>they had to bring duckstation devs to help them and this is somehow bad!
>so what if 99% of games just werk, some shitty niche game that can be played elsewhere still needs workarounds!
it's just a bunch of morons with a personal grudge
>mid tier
my old ass 4770k and 1060 6gb ran demon's souls and folklore at 4K 30fps with very few issues at least a year and a half ago, i assume it's only gotten better since then, there's patches to make them run at 60 but i never tried them because i just assumed they'd be too much for my pc so i can't speak for those
It's interesting that the ones that constantly criticize and shit on PCSX2 are never able to name a better PS2 emulator.
what's the best emulator to play this game
what's the best version of this game
what's the best romhack of this game
It works with any of em, but bsnes is best for everything.
The released official version is probably the best since it has an official translation and some glitch fixes.
Romhacks exist of Star Fox 2? That's news to me.
>I don't understand the meme about it being shit
It's literally just one schizo.
>It's literally just one Russian psyop.
Fixed that for you.
dont care still using opl
Of course it is. Playing PS2 games at 4K is amazing, some of them look very good and aged well. PS2 version of Shadow of the Colossus at 4K is amazing, I pity anyone who plays the garbage Bluepoint PS3 Shitmastered or the utter dogshit PS4 Demake.
I honestly believe it's getting worse these days. The new blood have made the emulator unstable and the new UI annoys me more than anything and it feels buggy and unintuitive as shit compared to other QT emulator frontends.
Play AC4,5,0 and SRW OGs.
>What's the deal guys?
just autistic hardware purists crying about "cycle accuracy" for literally _no_ reason
Cycle accuracy is one thing, broken textures and post processing effects is another.
How do I make this shit work without lag? I can use Dolphin without prob but this shit is always slow af
99% of the problems people have with it would disappear if they just used Software rendering.
>b-but I can't increase the resolution
So the game looks how it's supposed to? What a shame.
99% of the problems don't even need software mode to fix. And the reason software mode isn't advised isn't because of the resolution but because of the performance cost. It's extremely demanding on your hardware in most cases.
>still no QT for linux
What a hell.
The Emotion Engine, prior to 2011, was a tad difficult to emulate with Your average home CPU.
More powerful CPUs today, not as many complaints.
Upscaling will always look like shit
ur dumb
also that image he's posting looks like some kind of a bug, he somehow disabled alpha blending or something like that.
im about to try playing persona 3 on this, hope it doesnt let me down
I've literally never had a game run poorly on this emu. Are there specific games people refer to as being fricked up on it?
They are just mad because you have to tweak some minor settings between games. Nothing that 14 seconds reading a wiki won't fix.
When you're over 30, have a job, and can only run one game at a time, this isn't a problem.
>have a job
That's offensive to us NEETS
There are some but they are far and few in between. Mostly, it's either shovelware or stuff like Beyond Good and Evil and Manhunt but there is no reason not to play the PC versions instead. Rare instances for exclusive games include the first Fatal Frame as
talked about or Eternal Ring, one of the older obscure From Software titles.
>one of the older obscure From Software titles.
Echo Night Beyond needs a remake
Or revert to dolphin for the more janky games.
It's a weird meme. Nothing really fricks up. It's basically tech from 2008 that got the job done back the. If someone wants to make a new emu, then so be it, but this shit was good for its time
Pretty sure it is just a meme. I've beaten plenty of games on it with zero issues, just finished suikoden V the other day.
Gonna start Suikoden soon actually, is it true I should skip the first game or does it hold up?
I don't know why people recommend skipping the first one. It's still a great rpg imo, even if the second game is better. Only one I'd recommend skipping is IV because it just doesn't have many redeeming factors. And just be prepared for III to have some of that early-gen PS2 jank and for V to be very slow (I used turbo a lot)
Does it play ps1 games? I never beat brave fencer musashi as a dumb kid
wtf just use a PS1 emulator
all the ones I get suck
duckstation
Use a ps1 emulator!
Still waiting on them to fix the gfx issues with Manhunt.
>very minor glitches
your eyes are shit or you've never played a game natively. I tried emulating soulcalibur 3 and it's dogshit
Your PC is shit mate!
I can't get cod 3 to work on it
For some reason, the game "Black" always gave me issues, as did soul calibur 2, so I stopped emulating anything after the psx generation.
If PS would sell them for cheap, I would easily buy a library of ps2 games.
>If PS would sell them for cheap, I would easily buy a library of ps2 games.
Giving SNOY money. GO BACK!
Can you save in Xenosaga yet?
>crickets
Yeah that's what I thought.
Wiki says it's been fixed.
Damnnn they actually did it.
actual non-troll answer: because for fricking YEARS the PCSX2 homepage only showed you the "stable" version of the emulator, which was years out of date and well before the devs got their asses in gear and made it actually worth using, and hid away the actually good "development" version behind a menu that no mexican idiot trying to emulate king of fighters would have ever found. therefore it got this reputation as a shitty emulator when in fact the website itself was hilariously shit for its entire lifespan.
same shit happened with Dolphin until they updated their website with the "beta" versions
>CAPTCHA: RXG TRY
Do the GTA games work well on PCSX2?
Also how well do the Xbox versions play on xemu?
Last I checked the trails effect (that's missing on PC) for San Andreas is still busted unless you use a setting that gets rid of it or switch to software.
What are the best settings or API for Ratchet 2? I get some slowdowns
