Title: PS2 Emulation. Post by: schild on May 03, 2008, 05:11:42 PM So, despite having a couple PS3s and PS2s, I decided to start futzing around with PS2 emulation. Specifically PCSX2 - which is the only emulator that matters. To those wondering, I can run pretty much any RPG (haven't tried FF12 yet) at about 60 FPS with an 8600GTS and the Q9450. I get between 60 and 63FPS with a rare slight few second dip to 58 seconds. If I can get all of this working flawlessly with FRAPS (having issues at the moment), I might make some PS2 videos. Possibly maybe with commentary read by an old man wearing a sunday dress and a really smart hat.
Anyone else futz around with this emulator? Any tips? Their official forums are total shit. Title: Re: PS2 Emulation. Post by: schild on May 04, 2008, 12:04:48 AM Even with the Q9450, it seems to have issues running some games. It didn't seem to be using all 4 versions either, maybe it's because I'm not in a 64 bit environment, who knows. I really badly want this to start working flawlessly though. :\

I had some problems with some games, but it was mostly fixable if you got the correct plugins and configured them correctly. I didn't get 60 FPS on a lot of games though, but that was expected, the computer I used back then was a single core P4 with a half decent gfx card. I really like playing a lot of games on emulator, love me some quick save / load abuse and fast forward.

Considering the insane architecture of the PS2 it's impressive to have a working emu at all. Title: Re: PS2 Emulation. Post by: Yegolev on May 09, 2008, 08:13:55 AM I will try a recent build, but I think I need a better video card than this 7900 GS.

Post by: Sky on May 09, 2008, 10:25:30 AM Are you v-synced? That will feed you ~60 fps no matter what the actual rendering is giving you, which might account for the tight fps spread across many games.
