The inevitable happens... and everything changes

0
0
So I haven't posted a wall of text in at least 3 days and that's unacceptable. Tongue2 The fact that I just made a joke like that feels really weird... I feel really weird. Something basically inevitable and very ***** happened today but somehow for the first time in my life I know exactly what I have to do. Even though things are worse(seriously), somehow I'm more calm. You'll see why if you read this post.

Today I had a tremendous amount to do. I had to go to Cullman and go to my Suboxone appointment, go to the pharmacy, go to the courthouse to get marriage/divorce certificates that Medicaid wants for their investigation of mom's finances, go to the health department for a death certificate for the same reason and lastly go to Wal-Mart and by mom a cell phone. Actually writing it out it doesn't seem like that much... but I've only been holding on by a thread these last few weeks and I've been dreading today. On top of that I didn't know where either the Courthouse or the health department was and my GPS doesn't want to work. On top of that of course it's ridiculously hot and I have no A/C in my car. And lastly on top of that I know my car could tear up at any time.

My car could tear up at any time. Yep, that feeling was right because it basically has. I made it to my appointment okay and got my medicine, and I made it to the courthouse. I was only able to get one of the documents they wanted(the divorce certificate for my mom's marriage to my dad). By that point I was fried from the heat and the inevitable finally hit. My car is basically fragged. It will go, but barely. Anytime you have to accelerate it just completely cuts out and dies. I stalled at literally about 20 different intersections today and nearly caused accidents several times. Every time I had to stop when I went to go again it stalled and I just basically had to randomly mash the accelerator, let off, mash it, let off until I could get back up to speed. I knew there was no way I could make it to the health department which was way out of the way but I did go to Wal-Mart and get mom's phone because it was on the way home anyway. Coming home wasn't as bad because there is less stop and go but I still stalled on several hills and dropped to like 25MPH in a 55 zone several times.

So at this point I can't make a trip like that in my car anymore. I could drive it around my local town which is only like a few blocks but that's it. Going any further would be tremendously dangerous both because I might have an accident and because the car might tear up completely. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, there is some things I'm going to check but this car is forever old(1993) with 250k miles and it's never been in good condition. I think it's basically just done.

I think though that I would have reached the conclusion I've reached even if that hadn't happened. I'm not cut out for this. I'm not good at the things that make the world go round. I never have been, not without help. On top of that I have to deal with SO MUCH MORE ***** than average people do. Every five seconds some catastrophe is happening. I'm very surprised I've made it this far. There is really only one thing keeping me going at this point and that's the support of my friends and Saki. Hell, that's the only thing that's been keeping me going for a while now.

I can barely keep my own ***** together and do the things I need to do to keep my own barely functional life situation intact. I mean just barely. You've no idea how many close calls I've had with almost not paying ***** on time, not getting to where I'm supposed to be, not having the house clean, not doing XYZ stupid thing I must do to avoid winding up on the street or worse. I've realized it now. I can only just BARELY keep my own ***** together. I'm not even sure if I can do that. But I do know this - I can't deal with anything but my own stuff from now on.

I can no longer be the "Medicaid Sponsor" for mom and drive all over the ***** world finding esoteric documents they want. I can no longer try to help my sister or my niece with their problems. I can no longer source things that mom wants bought with her money or manage her finances, or any of that *****. I can't make promises to anyone to do anything for any reason. It's as simple as that. Doing so has been putting way too much stress on me and it's a miracle I haven't broken by now. But I finally see today - it will literally be a ***** miracle if I manage to keep my own ***** together and nothing else. There is simply no way for me to succeed if I continue adding more work for myself the way I've been doing.

And you know what? I don't feel bad about it at all. As far as mom - I put in my time. I took care of her alone for five ***** years. I'm really sorry if the others don't do as good of a job as they should but I can't be responsible for that any more. I know you guys have told me that 100 times but I just couldn't let it go. But I have now. Beyond that it seems like it should be really simple to keep my own ***** together. It should be. But my pain has gotten so much worse that even going to the ***** grocery store for 20 minutes wrecks me. I can't keep my house straight, I can't cook for myself, half the time I can barely get through a bath. And my sleep disorder on top of that means most of the times I have to commit to doing X at Y time I won't have slept at all because I can't control when my body lets me sleep. Of course that makes things 10 times more difficult. And for whatever reason the world wants to constantly ***** on me far more than it does most people. I know everyone has problems and a lot of people have ***** lives but God damn. I cannot deny at this point anymore that things are just legitimately extremely unfair for me. Moreso than others. I don't know why. But they are. I've never said that before and I hope you don't take that as some sort of "pity party." Surely you guys can see the same truth.

So from now on I'm only going to focus on me. I'm only gonna worry about the things that directly affect my life and nothing else. Some people are gonna be pissed at me for that but let them. I dare them to be after I took care of things alone for 5 years. I'm sorry that my sister is having a legitimately difficult period in her own life right now but you know I had a LOT of difficult periods during those 5 years and I still had to do it. I'm sorry if she decides that she just can't do it either and so it doesn't get done and mom suffers. That's all out of my hands. If I continue like this I will certainly fail at my own life and then I wouldn't be useful for anyone else anyway. So now my base goal is simply to ensure that I have my own place to live and the bills are paid and my pets are taken care of. That's it. Everything else is out of my hands. I just can't do anymore than that.

I know I've been legitimately trying my very best and harder than I ever have. That's why I can say this now and not feel bad about it. I've never truly put my entire being into holding things together by myself before and now that I have I've seen firsthand that I'm just not very good at it. It's not my fault, I definitely didn't choose to be this way. I hate that it's like this, but I don't hate myself because I know if I could make things different I would. Fundamentally I know that in order to be remotely mentally stable and okay I need my own place to live that belongs to me(not somewhere like a jail or hospital or group home or any of that.) I have to hold on to that. I have to put all my focus in to that one thing to make sure I stand the best chance possible of holding on to it. Because if I do lose it my life is effectively over. I can't let that happen.

As far as my car I don't know what I'm going to do. There are a few things I'm going to check but it seems likely that it's not a cheap fix and putting any decent amount of money into this car is a bad idea. It's just too old and has too many things wrong with it. At least for now I don't have anywhere to go that's not really close by. Well, I guess I technically do but that's for other people and it's just not gonna get done. I'll explain the same stuff to everyone involved and they can get mad or hate me or blame me or whatever they wanna do. I know what I have to do. I will have to figure out something by the 23rd of next month when my next Suboxone appointment is. I can't miss it and I know driving this car to Cullman again is the stupidest thing I can possibly do. But that gives me a month to figure things out.

So yeah, through all this I feel surprisingly calm. For whatever reason I know exactly what needs to happen so I stand the best chance of keeping my life intact. That's a rare thing for me. I guess I've learned a lot about life in the last few months. Partly thanks to experience, partly thanks to you guys, and partly thanks to Saki.

Hi, I know my pc it's not in the high end nowadays but i though it was enough to emulate properly ps2.
I tried every posible combination of settings and speed hacks and the most i get is 20-50 fps in Xenosaga I, 30-50 fps in Dragon Quest VIII, both of them with slowdowns and basically unplayable. Note: even if I play native or 1080p is the same speed, not better or worse, the same
Once I put the original Kingdom Hearts disc on my pc dvd drive and it was running smooth 60 fps 1080p with everything maxed.
Is the dvd speed improvement a real thing?
It's my pc just not powerfull enough or what?
Thanks for you time.

Downgrade to Windows 7 and save 35 bucks or keep Windows 10?

0
0
For a few months now my system has been randomly freezing and I could never figure out as to why until now. I am almost certain its my network drivers now.  Its either I go back to Windows 7 and keep my current card (which is 5+ years old now) or buy one that supports Windows 10. The only reason to keep 10 is DX12 support but other than that...

KH2 Final Mix modding - keyblades?

0
0
So I did some searching to see if there is some way to possibly modify keyblade stats. Through cheat files utilized by PCSX2, or maybe an editor of some sort (like FFXED). Other than unrelated patch/cheat files, I couldn't really find anything. Anyone here know anything about this? I want to alter the Ultima keyblade so that it's back to its former glory. Specifically, I'd like to change its ability, even if it doesn't reflect the change in its description.

I've tried using the solutions offered on other threads from a few years back, but to no avail. I really would like to get this fixed, if any of you know how!  Tongue

Hello.

I´ve been trying to run Budokai 2 and 3 on PCSX2 1.4.0, but the games are very laggy and slow.

Here are my specs:
CPU: Intel Core i3-2310M 2.10GHz
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce 315M
RAM: 6.00 GB
O.S: Windows 10 Pro x64

Any help would be appreciated.

So, I need to get into the browser to format a memcard I created. However when I full boot, all the text options are completely blank.

For reference this is on the latest GIT (1210-g7103707)

System specs are in my Sig and Video card is a GTX 1080.
Nvidia Driver version: 368.81

Edit: Tried going into software mode, text still non-existent.
Edit 2: Direct11 mode also has non-existant text.


Edit 3: So I made a change to one of my speedhacks (EE clock rate was set to 2: Increase 180%) and that seems to have been the cause. When I returned it back to default 0 text has re-appeared.

While this might be useful information, I have solved my own problem and this thread may be closed.

Persona 4 issue

0
0
I've had PCSX2 version 1.4 for a while now, and finally came across an issue I'm hoping to get some help with.

Persona 4.. I've tried this two ways, running it as an iso and running it from the cd itself (I don't like running from the cd because my computer likes to randomly eject the cd drive, but I do do it for certain occassions) and both ways, I can not get the game to load past the initial checking memory card screen.. I'm not even at the intro video or start game or nothing, just checking memory card and it stays there (the funny part it's not frozen though because I still watch the fps go up and do some along with the speed on the toolbar, goes from 97% to 99% lol so it's not frozen)

I get this in the... uhmm not sure what screen to call it, but it shows I guess what it's accessing??

It's this padman: *** VBLANK OVERLAP ***, I have never seen that before, it seems to be stuck there for whatever it is doing.

I've done some google searches for that error and people claim to get it while playing Rogue Galaxy, but nobody seems to know how to fix it (plus it's always with an earlier version of PCSX2.. like version .9 or so)

I'd really love to play this game again, does anyone know what this error means? or how to work around it?

MGS 3 weird performance

0
0
So I've been browsing about MGS 3 rendering issues in PCSX2 and stumbled upon topic on Git Hub where it was stated that post-process is finally back in the game with new revisions of PCSX2. I downloaded it, configured and it looks fantastic! Everything is in place in game, the only missing PP part I saw was bloom on the bones in the Cure menu, but it's really a minor issue and nothing serious. Everything else is just like in the original game on PS2 but in much higher resolution obviously(found a glitch in the last revision, by the way - I'm getting random emulator crashes if I use custom resolution instead of scaling). 

 The point is - everything's great, but the performance. Framecounter says it's fullspeed, it plays in slow motion, deeps into 40s in some areas, but when I unlock the framerate I see numbers as high as 110-120FPS and game is running at double the speed(obviously due to frameskipping workaround in the emulator). I don't get why if game can output so much more frames it struggles to deliver full speed when locked to 60 and why I get those horrible slowdowns out of nowhere. Can I somehow fix it or at least understand what's the problem?

PC Specs are:
Core i5 3570 3.4 Ghz
8GB DDR3 1666Mhz
GTX 960 4GB
Win 8.1

Sixaxis ps3 controler detects as bluetooth radio device

I have downloaded this software to play some old games, and I knew I could use my ps3 controller with it, so I connected it and it made the sound windows does when you connect a new device and it installed the drivers, but the software wasn't recognizing it, I tried to use motionjoy, but still it didn't work, so I went to the devices and printers thing and there it says that the controller is a bluetooth radio device.
I'm using windows 10 (not possible to downgrade).

Oh no! We froze again...[The Sims 2 Pets]

0
0
INTRO:

Hello beautiful people, I bring to you an issue of epic magnitude! No not really, but on a serious note, I am having some issues playing Sims 2 pets. Now before we get into troubleshooting and asking all those pesky help me now questions, let me give you some insight on the issue at hand.

Back-Story:

First off, my CD of The Sims 2 is kinda scratched, not like "used my CD as a Frisbee" scratched, but more like, "I didn't know how to handle the CD as a child" kinda scratched. Now this issue first started happening when I played from the CD, so I decided to try and make an ISO image from the disk. To my surprise, it actually created it! So the disk is still readable. Currently I have tried playing from my CD, and ISO, the issue still occurs. I haven't played around with any of the Emulator settings, as I feel like I would screw more stuff up than fix :/

The-Issue:

The issue occurs at random intervals, and I do mean random. It can happen 30 seconds into playing the game, and it can happen 15 minutes of playing the game, but one thing remains the same, my entire game freezes. I have tried waiting to see if maybe its just hung up, but to no avail. I wish I could give you more detail than "it freezes" but sadly I cannot. Due to it being random, I can't explain what causes it. At first I thought maybe I was placing things to fast and it froze it (During building my house), but then it froze during making a meal. So whether I am going into a menu, making a meal, or just letting my sim stand around, the freeze occurs.

System-Info:

I am running Windows 10 with a i5 CPU and 8GB of ram. I always have the latest video driver as I have it set to automatic and it will shutdown my PC in the middle of things. Not the best way to keep something updated but if I don't let it do it all on its own I forget. I did open my software control panel to make sure I was correct and I am, everything is up to date right down to my USB Drivers. I am using the latest version of PCSX2 (1.4.0), as of this post. I haven't changed any of the emulator settings as like I said before, im afraid I will break something before I fix something. To top it all off, all updates from Microsoft are installed on my Win 10 system.

Conclusion:

I know you ladies and gents are super busy, so please if you need ANYMORE info from me do not hesitate to post and I will provide you with the correct information to the best of my ability. I will be patiently waiting for your help. Until then, stay safe out there and happy gaming!

Best of wishes,

Display crashes every few minutes

About every 10 minutes or so, my display crashes while in game. It seems to occur even when the game is performing well and it happens in most games I play.

My specs can be found in my signature and I am using the git build from 8/23. I'm using the OGL renderer in hardware mode.

Issue Starting Modes in Tekken 4

0
0
Hello!

I have been having an issue with Tekken 4 (U), in which attempting to activate story or arcade mode (or, presumably, other modes) the announcer will welcome me to the King of Tekken Fighter Tournament or whatever, turn into a black screen, and an annoying audio glitch will occur.

My setup is the following:

Windows 8.1 Current
GEFORCE GTX 965M (laptop)
Intel Core I7
PCSX2 build 1.4.0 (Stable)

Having looked up this problem to see if anyone else had occured it, I found upon a thread from about six years ago that solved a similar problem using cheats. Unfortunately, this solution did not work for me, and I might imagine the length of time may have something to do with it. I have attempted changing my resolution to native, turning on various gamehacks (EE Timing and OPH Flag), changing various renderers, including both hardware and software (including changing rendering threads), messing about with the frame limiter, and even changing some various clamping settings, all for naught.

Thank you for reading this, and I would be very appreciate if anyone has any suggestions.
