I don't know I've been trying to run Tales of the Abyss for awhile and whenever I load it up I get a windowed white screen and then the whole program freezes. using R3765. gonna try another game like ff12. Edit: Nope same deal, I think it might have something to do with DirectX but I can't get a 100mb Redistribute download right now so gently caress it. 4000 Dollar Suit fucked around with this message at Sep 16, 2010 around 20:53 |

A little off topic but Gyrou was posting about it earlier so I will too! Actually, I need help with Dolphin. I'm trying to use my PS2 controller as a Classic Controller, but the right joystick is being read all wrong. Dolphin reads it as the right joystick being both rotated and inverted. I can't figure out how to fix this. Any ideas? edit: And I thought LKS had classic controller support, whoops! Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at Sep 17, 2010 around 06:25 |

El Cid posted:I'm having trouble getting my settings to save. I'm using Windows 7. I've moved the folder all around seeing if that was the problem, running as administrator, changing the folder sharing and security settings, etc... but I still have to reselect my addons, BIOS, and speedhack settings about 90% of the time. I had this exact same problem. It appears that for some reason, the settings are being dumped into a .tmp file, and then moved into pcsx2.ini. The problem I was having is that pcsx2.ini would be deleted every time the emulator tried to write to it, so I ended up with no pcsc2.ini file, and a couple dozen .tmp files in my documents directory. I was able to fix it by renaming the last written .tmp file to pcsx2.ini and write-protecting it, the deleting the other .tmp files (cuz they're useless). But, I need to repeat that process every time I change a setting now.

Just wanted to say that I ripped Global Defence Force and I am pleasantly surprised to see it run at a reasonable framerate, considering that the PS2 itself could barely handle the non-stop action. The slowdown is mostly constricted to the menus between levels. I'm using the latest version with an intel i5 quad core and radeon 5780.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I was waiting for them to move on from the ZZOGL commits. Alright maybe it had something to do with Civ V.  r3845 Full Update - ZZOGL: lots of work on this plugin that I don't care about - IPU optimizations and fixes (minor speedup) - Game database heavily updated: lots of game fixes - Enable patches is now on by default

I'm not exactly sure why, but I always wind up using the old r2655 build of pcsx2 and using the Legacy 1932 exe. All the new builds don't run quite as well. I'm not exactly sure why. I'm guessing the settings have a lot to do with it, but it's been pissing me off really. Any ideas how to get the news builds up to speed??

I can't answer your question very well (at all), but I was having troubles with crashes and such until I turned down the VU cycle stealing to 1. (Was at 2 the whole time) I also use a program called "GameBooster" which gives me an overall framerate boost. Basically, it shuts down non essential Windows features which frees up my CPU and RAM some. edit: Thanks Gyoru for staying on top of things, helping us, and keeping us informed!

I just switched to Win7 64bit and am using r3845. When I try to change the graphics plugin I get a ton of messages like this: "Some kinda plugin failure: C:\Users\Floor is lava\Desktop\pcsx2-r3845 (Full)\plugins\GSdx-SSE2.dll [wx] Failed to load shared library 'C:\Users\Floor is lava\Desktop\pcsx2-r3845 (Full)\plugins\GSdx-SSE4.dll' (error 126: the specified module could not be found.)

You probably need some C/C++ runtime library or a more updated version of directx. Read the requirements on the site carefully and download whatever it says. It sounds like it's finding the dlls fine, but it's not able to process them, which would be missing a system library.

Could someone tell me a good way to get a Dual Shock 3 working with a Windows 7 computer? MotionInJoy is apparently recommended, but the download page has a big warning that it could permanently disable all USB connections if done wrong, and I want something less risky.

Hmp. Run r3878. All numbered versions of GS plugins cause a crash-out with no explanation that requires a process hunt to completely shut down PCSX2, all non-numbered ones hang(or seem to) at the Playstation2 screen. Back to 2425m. Thank god I didn't delete that executable as I first intended. If it matters, I'm still Windows XP, DirectX 9, 2gig Ram, NvidiaGT240.

Well AMDs in general are less effecient at running PCSX2. And quad cores don't matter since PCSX2 only utilizes at most 2 cores. That said, my Phenom X4 overclocked to 3.3GHz runs most games I've tried just fine. I haven't tried anything especially demanding, though.

Jetsetlemming posted:What kind of cpu master race are you envisioning that this last gen console emulator would require that exceeds a 2.8Ghz quad core? Yes, it will run fine. It runs fine on my dual core 2.6Ghz. Just make sure you have a real video card. A 3.4 GHz Phenom II? (At least, Front Mission 5 demands this, and probably other things too. 2 cores are fine if you're doing hardware rendering mode, but software rendering doesn't really stand on its own below 6 cores. Intel's different, but I still haven't heard anything about below 3 GHz, and the i5-750 doesn't count because it can push 2 cores to 3.2 if the others are under light load.)

Right now most of their commits seem to be focusing on a branch called newdmac (meaning that until that branch is merged into trunk we don't see the changes). Basically they're rewriting from scratch some large important bit called DMAC. I have no idea how close they are or when it'll be done. They sayquote:The hopeful goals are: It sure sounds nice. We'll see. The one guy still continues to do a bunch of commits on zz-ogl (the cross platform graphics plugin that's still leagues behind the windows-only one)

I apologize if this has been brought up already in the thread, but I have a problem with my sound and controller. I just downloaded and set up gyorou's r3845 SVN and I only have one game to test the emulator on (Zone of the Enders 2nd runner). Whenever I have an in game cutscene the sound would stretch out like it's moving in slow motion and it's really annoying. Additionally the game seems to think I've tilted my left analog stick to the right a little bit because when I'm not touching the controller at all I keep turning right uncontrollably. I got an Intel I7860 with an ATI Radeon 5870 and 4 gb of ram. The lowest my FPS goes is about 40 but it usually sticks to ~60fps for most of the game so I don't understand why the sound fucks up on me during cutscenes like that especially when the rest of the game runs smoothly. Maybe my Xbox 360 controller is broken? EDIT: I tried fiddling around with the settings including disabling time stretch. Doing that caused the sound to move ahead of what was going on in the actual game even though FPS was still moving steadily at around 60. Audio sync is currently the main problem I'm having and I'm not sure how to fix it. EDIT2: Well I managed to solve the controller problem, but I'm still having sound issues with ZOE2. Correction, the root of this entire sound problem is actually just ZOE performing poorly as I progress further into the game. Basically the game is unplayable because FPS drops so low everything moves in slow motion. I didn't think that despite buying one of the best CPUs for my mobo I would still be capped by it. EDIT3: Hmm I also have problems with Front Mission 4 where it freezes once I jump out of the plane. DerDestroyer fucked around with this message at Oct 12, 2010 around 07:35 |

DerDestroyer posted:I apologize if this has been brought up already in the thread, but I have a problem with my sound and controller. Do you have any speedhacks on? It is highly recommended even with a fast CPU to enable a few basic speedhacks. The description will tell you what is generally recommended for compatibility vs speed. Unless those games have known problems, your CPU should be fast enough.

I have no speedhacks turned on for FM4 and I can get full FPS out of it, the problem is that it locks up on cutscenes. I did a google search and found out that due to the major code changes in the latest version of PCSX2, FM4 is no longer compatible. As for Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner, I've tried everything to keep it from lagging and nothing works, the frame rates take a massive plunge even with speedhacks on.

I tried playing 24: The Game on my Phenom 2.6 (overclocked to around 2.76) and although it looked far far far far far better than it does on my PS2 (I mean a loving world of difference) it ran at 10fps in-game. If I were to upgrade my CPU to something beefier would PCSX2 performance raise exponentially? 10fps to 60fps seems like quite a jump. It was pretty hilarious though, first thing said on the first mission: "Weeeee neeeeeeeeeed tooo geeettttt onnnnnnn thhheee boooooaaatt! Taaaaake iiiiit sllloooooowwwwwwwlllllyyyy".

It might be the game's fault for running slow. The reason varies from how the game was coded or just general lack of compatibility with PCSX2's engine/drivers. This is especially true for Zone of Enders 2. Game compatibility/speed is always being worked on though. Try running some other games in your possession before deciding that your processor is too slow.

I'm having a small issue with Radiata Stories. There seems to be a weird 'filter' or something on the screen during some cutscenes and after battle (but not all the time). Basically, there's these vertical 'stripes' where the screen will alternate clear and blurry. Here's a screenshot of it happening: Click here for the full 1280x720 image. Is there a way to fix this? It can get pretty distracting in some cutscenes.

I think Tri-Ace games in general are completely broken. They've finally gotten to the state that Valkyrie Profile 2 runs flawlessly on my system but it doesn't matter cause the graphics glitches are too terrible to play the game with.

I assume the games that don't support being forced to run at higher resolutions are unable to do so because they are rendering to a texture in order to to post processing effects or something. Anyone with any knowledge about that kind of crap know if it would be possible to change this with some kind of hack?
