Will we see some love for Juiced 2 HIN

That game has been suffering for as long as i can remember. The streets are completely and utterly pitch black in hardware rendering (no idea about GL rendering because i can't use it), and the videos stutter constantly as if the audio and video are constantly changing framerates and are unable to sync with one another.

The game gets a decent enough speed in hardware rendering but due to the black road it's extremely difficult to play, and software rendering is quite freaking taxing unless i turn all the speedhacks on. Even then i might get full speed but it seems like the game itself is designed to skip frames to compensate.

Just wondering if some GSdx guru would feel like taking a look at what exactly is going on with the road textures being the only game-breaking bug this game exhibits (besides the stuttery videos).

The reason it is GSnull is because I got some error that it wouldn't load, so I changed it from the default (?) to GSNull. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have Burnout 3, started up fine, did a crash junction, got this http://i.imgur.com/kOaXU25.png

Cannot move car, just wobbles back and forth, can't see anything unless I go first person, still can't move.

Another little side thing, I can never start a game on reboot (full). It'll just take me to my memory cards, when  I click on the disk it just keeps me in the mem area

Gsdx texturing option

$
0
0
I think it is time to revisite the gsdx texturing option (which is a mess currently).

The state of the art: the option has 3 states
* disable linear filtering <= very bad quality, intended as a speed hack I guess
* enable linear filtering when the PS2 request it (typically on triangle but not on sprite)
* always enable linear filtering



There are 2 ways to do the filtering
* SW filtering done in the shader. The texture is sampled 4 times and manually interpolated. Better to emulate PS2 behavior but slower.
* HW filtering done in the fixed unit of the GPU. It is quite faster for the GPU as you only need to sample the texture once.

Currently the way to select between HW/SW is kind of automatic (aka a real mess Wink ). I want to remove the automatic detection and propose an user option. So we can choose between speed or accuracy (instead of none of them Tongue2 ). We could add another option, or extend the texturing option to a multi state combo box (yes I love adding new option). Something like that

* disable linear filtering  (the fastest but ugliest too)
* PS2 linear mode HW (less accurate but fast)
* PS2 linear mode SW (the most accurate)

* Forced linear mode HW (for people that want extra filtering with limited speed impact)
* Forced linear mode SW (for people that want extra filtering with a better accuracy)

Actually I'm not sure all steps are useful. For example linear HW must be as fast as no filtering (or close enough).

Feel free to share your opinions.

Found this at local game store. Not the first time but the funny thing is people actually purchase these. And yes it works and yes it contains PCSX2 along with Bios. I removed the link written on the cover.

So....while saving up for a new gaming PC, I'm curious to know how well GT3 and GT4 run on pcsx2 on a high end machine these days?

1)Has anyone completed either game to their full completion without any crashes or game breaking bugs? Any parts of the game where you couldn't proceed due to either garbled graphics or it crashing to desktop?

2)Can they run at 100% full speed all the time on an overclocked Intel Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell or Skylake CPU @ 4.0Ghz or higher?

3)How do the games look in comparison to running them natively on a real PS2? Does the image, particularly when upscaling the internal res via HW mode, make the games look 10x sharper? Does the picture still suffer from aliasing problems and other artifacts?

4)Has the in-game brightness problem been fixed?

60 FPS, 4x native, Anisotropic on, GT4, Burnout 3?

Howdy!

First things first, my GREATEST thanks to the devs for this fantastic emulator! Holy crap, this is amazing!

Anywho, I just wanted to pop in with a quick question:

Is anyone able to get a reliable 60 FPS in GT4 or Burnout 3 (or any other intensive game) with at least 4x native and anisotropic filtering on (ideally at least 4x)? Is such a thing possible to achieve on today's hardware?

I installed PCSX2 1.2.1 on my workstation computer with the following specs:

Windows 7 Pro
i7 3930k 6 core (12 hyperthreaded, overclocked to 4.2 GHz)
48 GB RAM
AMD Radeon R9 270
SSDs for all software and OS.

I'm able to get fantastic performance up to about 2x native but as soon as I step it up to 3x or 4x native I just can't maintain a solid 60 FPS. As a result, the sound quality goes to hell and it's just all-around not such a nice experience.
I remember playing Burnout 3 on the PS2 console and always having trouble seeing what was ahead on Burning Laps because of the poor resolution of the original game. I'd LOVE to rock that game in 1080p so the idea of getting 4x or even 6x native running full speed is wicked to think about! I can get it up to about 2x native but that's about it.

I've played with the speedhacks a bit.
I have EE Cyclerate at 2
I have VU Cycle Stealing at 2
Everything else is turned on except fast CDVD.

With those speedhack settings, it's *ALMOST* stable at 3x and 4x native but there are still a few stutters here and there. With EE and VU both off, I can only get it stable-ish at 2x. Really gotta run the speedhacks!

I can see that one really needs some serious 2-core performance so my 6-core isn't doing me much good in this context. I'm curious though, if a big monster modern CPU/GPU combo could get those intensive games stable at 4x or even 6x.

Say, an i7 5960x with a GeForce 980 Ti? Would that do it? Is it possible on modern hardware, ideally without speedhacks (because they just don't work in every game).
Would a GPU upgrade help me achieve that? Is my CPU enough to handle it or would I need a new CPU as well? This CPU is a monster at multithreaded stuff but its single-threaded is probably getting outshadowed by modern 5xxx CPUs at this point. Would I gain anything from a GPU upgrade?
