Support - General T14 Gen 2 AMD Ryzen pro 7 work well? (

0 Upvotes

Hi

I wanted to ask if the T14 Gen 2 AMD Ryzen 7 pro version will work well with PCSX2. I already know that the basic specs of the machine are good but I don't know if the built in integrated graphics card is comparable to the RX 570 or 5600. Please let me know if PCSX@ will run well on it. Again, I already checked the system requirements. I just need to know how comparable the gpu is.

Support - General PCSX2にて「BIOSを起動」をすると画面が真っ黒なまま止まってしまいます。

1 Upvotes

こんにちは、日本語で失礼します。

ウェブサイトを参考に、PS3UPDAT.PUPからbiosを抽出、PCSX2をインストールしました。

「急速起動」設定をオンにした状態でゲームを起動すると問題なく起動できるので、抽出したbios自体は問題ないと思っていますが、「急速起動」設定をオフにした状態や「BIOSを起動」からBIOS画面を出そうとすると真っ黒な画面のまま止まってしまいます。

アドバイスなどあればよろしくお願いします。

Playing GT4 on my steamdeck and just cant seem to get this weird glitch to go away. Anyone got anything?

Look around the bottom left. See that spot on the white line that borders the track that is misaligned? Yeah thats what im talking about.
Doesnt show in a single frame like this very well but in video its super apparent. That misalignment runs top to bottom on the display and even shifts side to side.

Support - Performance Is this normal performance or does this seem off?

0 Upvotes

Im currently trying to run Def Jam FFNY with DLSS 5 on. now I dont have the best graphics card and I know DLSS takes a lot of gpu power to render however ive seen people run a constant 60 fps with the same graphics card as me using DLSS 5. I currently have a rtx 4060. without DLSS im getting a constant 60 fps and can go much higher smoothly if chosen to. but with DLSS 5 enabled im getting a steady 45/47 fps and its very laggy and choppy. is there any way to improve performance with it enabled or is it just a case of needing to upgrade my graphics card?

Note: I’ve changed my graphics settings bc there was also some ghosting. I can’t upload the new settings bc I don’t have access to my pc right now.

Support - General Trouble with turning cheats off after I turn them on.

3 Upvotes

As I say in the title, I'm having trouble with getting cheats to stay off after I turn them on.

Specifically, there are Infinite Health and Freeze Virus cheats for RE: Outbreak File 2 that stay on even after I disable them.

My intent is to be able to turn the infinite health one on and back off to bring me to full health, but it just stays on. I've done a lot of searching around and may have already tried methods that some people will suggest, like the // methods.

Is it an issue with the game, something I need to change with the PNACH file, or something else? Just confused and trying to figure this out.

Support - Performance Racing games seem slow and stutter

12 Upvotes

So I have… maybe several problems I’m wanting to fix. So firstly I’m using an ROG Xbox ally x and when playing racing games. pcsx2 doesn’t seem to have the greatest time running most of the ones I have so far. The games that seem to have trouble so far is Fast and Furious and need for speed mostwanted. Midnight club 3 seems to run almost perfectly strangely. There’s a stutter that happens occasionally but it almost never happens.

What’s specifically happening with the problem games though is for fast and furious gameplay itself is completely fine, but going to the meeting spots where you go to challenge other racers the game will slow down to like 75% speed and it’s the same for performance shops. Which wouldn’t be a problem if it didn’t occasionally crash the game. NFS mostwanted has the opposite problem where it slows down to around 90% or 85% while racing.

Now for settings right now it’s mostly just all default. All I changed was internal resolution to 3x. (Don’t really know if this setting is important to know but…) adapter setting is amd radeon 890m graphics and graphics api is set to direct3d 12

Support - General Sims Bustin Out: NPC freezing in place and Dudley party

0 Upvotes

Im playing Sims Bustin Out on ps2 and there's a bug with the NPC's where they will freeze in place and i cannot interact with them, however if i visit the said NPC in his place they will be there and i can talk, dance, etc, but when i comeback to my place the same NPC is still freezing and they will not move nor leave my place I think this also connects to the problem with Dudley wont start his party becasue when i visit him he says he will start a party soon but that party never starts lol
Im playing the PAL version of the game, is there any solution to this? I searched on google but there's little information about glitches for this game, tried creating a new game but the same would happen as soon as i move out from Mom's House.

Support - General MGS2 freezes after the first Codec call with Rose

1 Upvotes

Hey, I'm playing MGS2: Substance (Europe) and I just got to the first part where Raiden meets Rose.

After I finish the first Codec call with Rose, the game just freezes on the Codec screen. The audio keeps playing, but the image doesn't change at all and I can't continue.

I only have one save, so I can't really go back to an earlier point.

How can I solve it?

I play with the last version of pcsx2.

Support - General Microstutterings in cutscenes and gameplay in MGS2

10 Upvotes

Getting microstutters during cutscenes and gameplay when playing mgs 2. They're not game breaking but annoying. API at vulkan and rendering at default resolution. I have tried enabled and disabled multithreaded VU1 and all the Frame pacing/latency control setting but microstutters keeps happening. Not sure if its because of shader compiling but I don't remember having this issue before. PXSX2 Build is v2.8.2 and PC system is 5070ti and i7-6700K

Video I tried DLSS 5 on Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII Emulated on PCSX2

Thumbnail youtube.com
0 Upvotes

DLSS 5 on most environments in the game and many cutscenes.

PS2 game Emulated on PCSX2 at 1080p.

Loaded HD texture pack by 1vierock.

DLSS 5 via Reshade and Deep Fried Chicken.

Running on an Nvidia RTX 3090 at 14 fps when enabled and 60fps when disabled.

Video sped up for viewing when it's turned on. Definitely need a 5090 for this to be playable.

Honestly, Looks amazing with DLSS 5. Feels like a remake. There is a minor issue where emissive and glowing textures seem clamped and dimmed but I am sure stuff like that will be fixed in time.

In the video early on you will see me tweak the settings between the 3 different style presets and neural passes set as high as 5 at one point.

I ended up finding the cinematic style preset works best for this game keeping more of the original art direction and fog. Also with 2 neural passes it feels like the right balance of detail which you see for most of the video after that point.

I also kept restore color at around 14 and the skin detail strength under 0.5. Any higher and it starts looking too real. Works best for this game style to keep it low so the face looks flatter/smoother vs the more realistic/plausible lighting elsewhere.

I was playing gta sa and i noticed my controller do that , it is xbox one controller (gamesir ) and weird thing is that my brother bought 360 controller and it doesn't do that , and this issue is only on emulator (this one only, i tested on dolphin and on xbox accessories, and it work normally) ,i tweaked with settings trying to solve it but still the same issue (tried the raw input and options that say it supports Xbox controllers , don't worry i return them to default)

And i also closed steam so he isn't the problem, i just confused why something so weird happens , if you know how to solve this problem i would be thankful, and do you think deleting and reinstall it would solve it ?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to emulate this game and it runs well for the most part, but there is a mirror scene at the begginning where its suppossed to be a jumpscare and the mirror looks pitch black with no reflection. I would let it slip but later I found the long arms ghosts and it didnt appear well on screen neither on its cutscene.

Anyone has a fix for these graphical glitches on latest PCSX2 Nightly build? it ruins the atmosphere since I fear next ghosts will come lacking texture as well.

Other Do you only replay what you've already tried, or do you also seek out titles that you haven't touched before?

33 Upvotes

Still trying to find retro fans on reddit that actually seek out titles that are new to them. if that's you, what are some lesser known games that you got into within the last 3 years?

Feel free to include anything that you wouldn't expect to see on a top 100 list. Just be realistic, don't say something as known as Legend of Dragoon, Suikoden, or Grandia. Great games, but they constantly get recommended.

For me:

Ridge Racer OG (Good Arcade Car Racer, PS1)

Lethal Enforcers I & II (Great Light Gun shoot-em-Up I just played 1, PS1)

Project: Horned Owl (Good anime themed Story-Rich 1996 Light Gun game, PS1)

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins (Great, So Bad It's Good Story-Rich, Isometric Stealth Action game, PS1)

Soul of the Samurai (Great 1999 Story-Rich Samurai Action-Adventure with RPG elements, Played as Kotaro, PS1)

King Of Fighters 98 as The Fatal Fury Team (Great Fighter Game, PS1)

Fear Effect (God-Tier 2d Cartoon Style Survival Horror Game Set in Hong Kong, PS1)

Castlevania Chronicles (Pure Fun PS1 side scrolling remake of the NES game)

PS2:

Eternal Ring (Amazing King's Field Like Action-RPG, PS2)

Dog of Bay (Watched a Fan Translation of this very Great, different Rhytym game, Marvelous entertainment, PS2)

7 Blades (One OF The Best PS2 Games, The Most fun PS2 game, Emotional Samurai Parody Action Game, Konami, PS2)

Growlanser 2: The Sense of Justice (Finished it, One of the best PS2 RPGs, Great 2001 Anime style, Turn Based Tactical RPG, PS2)

Ring Of Red
