PS2 Emulation with PCSX2 - share your game configs!

Yes it does.
Do you run the emulator through a shortcut, then add the information to the command line? I try doing this with the Dolphin emulator but Steam always runs the original file.
Nevermind, figured out you have to add the command line in Steam.
I figured it out!
How did you manage to change the icons on Steam to custom ones? I can't figure it out.
Oops just saw it

Im gunna post these screenies a friend showed me of Twisted Metal Black Online (yes the online version) running at high res and with a field of view hack/widescreen hack cuz they sure are purdy.
(And no, the emulator version does NOT work well for online play using LAN tunnelling trust me)
Thats like over a 2K res I think.

This is the first emulator that I just can't get used to... I think the main problem is not with emulator itself, but how the PS2 hardware works, with the majority of the games using an interlaced video mode.
Consequently, the picture needs to be deinterlaced, introducing artifacts, and this is a major problem for me. That's because the movement of the picture is not the same compared to the real hardware.
If you are playing a 60fps game, for example, and keep spining the camera around, you will eventually get a jerky movement. The movement is not smooth as it should be.
Anyone experimenting the same problem?
By the way, my PC hardware is a Intel i5 3570k running at 4.5ghz + Geforce GTX 670 and I'm using Bob deinterlacer, which seems to be the better one.

This emulator is VERY much optimized. Just because PCSX2 is now 'v1.0', don't think the core system has been mostly fully emulated to a degree where most games work. It's not. Things are still hit and miss. Each game reacts differently, and some don't function well enough to be playable.

It seems like my CPU is not worthy enough to run PCSX2 smoothly.

That should be powerful enough :/.
Going to guess once were rocking cpus around the 8-10GHz mark (double+ the speed of highest oc cpu now) speed shouldn't be much of an issue and then more fine tuning and fixes will be the final icing on the cake.
Merely speculation. That said it's pretty damn phenomenal how far it's come!
Whats the pnatch file for p3 fes? I've tried the p3 settings from the "profiles" from the widescreen helper, but it doesn't seem to work...
Or maybe i'm just doing it wrong? I followed the OP's instructions onward from make a file named GameCRC.pnatch, save it in Cheats folder, and enable cheats in pcsx2. Anything im doing wrong or missing?

You want to copy the actual corresponding pnach file for your game into the cheats folder. Go to Misc -> Show Console and look at it when you boot up the game. Should report that they loaded.
I tried out Xenosaga Episode I last night. I can't believe it's running at 60 fps solid. I've used pcsx2 off and on since they first released it and Xenosaga always ran like crap averaging at best 20 fps every time I tried it.
Now I have to rip all my other JRPGs and see how well it can handle them. Anyone have a program they've found that rips PS2 games reliably?

This made me excited since I have an unplayable Persona 4 copy. Can you tell me your CPU?
I'm running an i5 2500K @ 4.2 GHz.
I'm surprised you're having trouble with Persona 4. I've never played P4 on anything but pcsx2 and it always ran alright except in those beatle fights that had 5+ enemies. I think I was using a C2D e6600 the first time I played through it.

No from what I understand it can only utilize two cores so frequency is more important that overall power. Sucks :/

First and foremost, my specs (which I have had for 1.5 years now)
2500k@4.8ghz
6970 OC@950/1450mhz
8GB RAM
W7x64
Tried 1.0. Not really expecting much but needless to say, I will be using this for the future. I took some random shots of DQ8 and VP2 Silmeria. Unfortunately VP2 still retains the slight screen shaking. I know how to fix it in the video settings but it doesn't produce the best effect. Still definitely playable. The still screens do it more justice than in motion
Everything running at 4x native with no AA added. Adding 8x actually bring my fps down so I will take that as a memory issue but as you can see, the games still look stellar and as good as ever minus some minor glitches.

Fair enough, id much rather they emulate the different components accurately especially since by the time they are done, we would all have systems that can run it well-enough.
With that said though, the 1.0 news does state they feel theyve emulated all the major stuff, guessing now its a case of ironing it out?

Shame the Mac version seems to be such a problem.
Most popular games are full speed, but the Ratchet games not working well is a real shame.

Wow, I just scrolled through the OP. Looks
GREAT!! A definite sub!! Where have I been not seeing this thread!?
Will read later, since I'm at work.. lol
EDIT:
What game is that? It looks like Shadow of Colossus, which I've never played.

Something is wrong with your setup. I am running it on a Dell Latitiude D630 with an intel core 2 duo with an nvidia quadro NVS135 and 2gb ram, and I can run GTA vice city and San Andreas at around 45fps.
Yes 45fps with full audio and full screen.

Runs great with those settings, but shadows are missing. Haven't checked the game with more recent builds of PCSX2 though.

Hey guys. Pretend I'm stupid.
How do I get my wireless 360 controller to work with this? I see it in the config menu (Wireless Receiver for Windows) and when I "test device" it registers button presses and everything but when I try to use it on my game (In this case, Tales of the Abyss) it doesn't register button presses.
Edit: I figured it out.

Took a screenshot of Radiata Stories, which is criminally underrated and is a gorgeous game

Except they didn't look like that back in the day. High Definition LCD displays make PS2 games look significantly worse than they did running on CRTs in their native resolution.

It's playable, though there are some graphical glitches.

I tried Urban Chaos - Riot Respons, but it's all glitchy after starting the main game. Anyone has any suggestions to improve the compatibility?

Can someone tell me what the circled resolution refers to and how I can change it. I can't seem to find the setting.

Ok, thanks. I'm not quite sure why it doesn't change though. No matter the setting. Oh well.
