I can save to a slot with F1 but is there a way to disable that and rely on the game's save function? It ruins any sort of challenge when I know I can just save during a battle and then reload a save from 2 seconds prior. Sure, I can always re-enable it but still. It's easy enough to find trainers for PC games yet I usually don't do it so I can control myself.

Hi i have registered here to ask this since i didn't see an answer for this, currently all i have seen on youtube for gaming 21:9 with PCSX2 are some roundabout ways. But can't you just edit a 16:9 wide patch and make it 21:9 ? And if its hard to do so.

My windows 7 question is related to the recent support drop, most of what i could find on the subject is that just X-Audio was dropped and currently PCSX2 should still work fine on windows 7 via direct audio or using the old X-Audio Plugin with newer releases, is that true ? Or is it a more complex change ? I want to hold on a for a while later to my windows 7 install and was curious about this.


PS: when i saw the security question of "What console does PCSX2 emulate?" i was really tempted to write Xbox/Dreamcast .

Hi, I wanted to report this problem of the bands that occur both in the levels and in the fights, is it possible to fix them?

How can someone re-enable the function to set custom resolutions to GSdx? 
(I've tried to google it for around 40 minutes but I couldn't find anything) 

Please help me. Please!

Hello guys!

So, i have and high-end PC (Ryzen 7 3700x , GTX 1060 6GB and 16 GB ram) but when playing Battlefield 2 Modern Combat or Urban Chaos Riot Response, my FPS in-game is about  40 but slow motion! How can i fix it?

(In the menu, FPS stays on 60 and inside the game too, only when an explosion or fire effect comes that frame drops).

Thx

Hey all, running pcsx2 on a 2017 MacBook Air. When I open, I get up a popup window with "The configured GS plugin file was not found". When I go to the folder, I do indeed have the file. If I follow the popup to the config window and try to config the plugin, the app crashes. I can still run the game I'm trying to play, but performance is pretty jank and I'm wondering if this might help. If it's relevant, I'm still on Mojave but can update to Catalina if that would fix my woes. Thanks in advance! Here's the emulog:

When booting any game, the screen has no video, only audio.

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 TI
16 GB RAM
Windows 10
PCSX2 ver. 1.6.0

This happens when using hardware or software, and when using Direct3D 11 or OpenGL. The weird part is that if I switch the video plugin to use my integrated graphics rather than my GPU, the games show up fine. I also attempted using the older version of the GSdx plugin with Direct3D 9 support, and Direct3D 9 worked (though there were a number of graphical issues, more likely related to the Direct3D 9 being a dated version). And to make things even weirder, when I streamed the application over discord, discord actually picked up the video, despite my screen being black.

Is there any way for PCSX2 to run on a specified resolution?
For now I always have to switch between resolution in desktop because PCSX2 always selects desktop resolution. 
I made a custom resolution 1280x896px 59.946hz and set aspect ratio to fit window screen. All nice and all but I was wondering if there's any way to make PCSX2 always run full screen at that resolution while I keep my desktop resolution at native.

Any idea why these particle effects disappear as i approach them and how to fix it? the white glow on the lifts in this area occasionally disappear too.

it works fine in software mode

Like the title says despite all the efforts i.e. reinstalling all visual redistributable again it still gives me the error. Please forgive me if I have posted this on wrong forum I am new here. Please help me I am using v1.6.0.

So I've been trying to get pcsx2 to play metal gear 2 and 3 and devil may cry 3 for the most part. But it's been running like it's in slow motion and the speed drops in the opening sequences for mgs2 and 3.
It's been bugging me and I've been tinkering around with the settings for a while but I can't seem to get it right.

Can anyone help me?

I'm playing Ratchet 2 and i get low fps . when "emotion engine" go on 100% i get 30 fps or less but the emulator is not using all my cpu (around 30% cpu and 20% gpu)
is there any solution to get full fps using more of my cpu power?

my pc:

cpu: i5 9300H 
gpu: gtx 1650

thank you

In okami when you enter a mission area a line glitch occurs on the ground, In some areas It's hard to notice, In others it's easy to notice.

I'm using direct3d 11 Hw & Sw and crc hack level set to Full
Areas affected: Ponc'tan, Moon cave, Wawku shrine, Yoshpet, Tsuta Ruins, Gale shrine And a few others

It's partially fixed by (disable depth emulation) but it also causes more graphical glitches

In the game the font has lines under it or around it, it's fixed in software mode and can be reduced by setting texture filtering to (Forced)
but changing texture filtering doesn't solve the issue.

<p>Implement basic cycle counting for COP2 operations, implement COP2 detection while not interlocking, implement Mbit, drastically change cycles required to run for every microprogram. Improved handling of edge cases for scenarios where COP2 updates flags.</p>
<p>As explained <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/shadow-of-fixing-33354075" rel="nofollow">here</a>&nbsp;in PSI's blog post, hardware tests proved that VU run at the same speed as EE mips core. This is important as the EE can read values from VU0 while a VU program is running using COP2 commands such as CFC2 (Copy From COP2/VU0), so it is important to run VU0 at the same speed as the EE, this was particularly important for games using M-Bit synchronization (Mike Tyson, My Street etc) and games which start a VU program and then copy a value to VU0 to be used by the new program, an example of this happening was 24: The Game.</p>
<p>Depending on if the game is expecting the value written to be used or written after the register is used, the VU needs to run either ahead or behind and it varies per game, so in this case it's essential that we rely on a new gamefix that we implemented called&nbsp;VU0KickstartHack.</p>
<p>Fixed games list:</p>
<ul>
<li>(VIF) Hitman games - Resolve potential crashes with TLB misses or FIFO errors</li>
<li>24: The Game, Primal, Ghosthunter - No longer need patches to run at full speed</li>
<li>Air Rescue Ranger - Ground no longer has SPS</li>
<li>Amplitude - FreQ avatars no longer have SPS</li>
<li>Gift, Woody Woodpecker, Kaan - Now runs at the proper speed</li>
<li>Lotus Challenge - Cars are no longer bouncy</li>
<li>My Street - Missing characters are now visible. (Note: they still exhibit a small amount of SPS in microVU0, the VU0 Interpreter does not have this issue.)</li>
<li>Mike Tysons Heavyweight Box - Characters are no longer asserting their dominance by t-posing. See-through characters are also fixed.</li>
<li>Next Generation Tennis 2003 - No longer needs a patch to fix SPS</li>
<li>Nichibeikan Pro Yakyuu: Final League / World Fantasista - Random glitches are gone</li>
<li>Phase Paradox - Lighting and camera in cutscenes are fixed</li>
<li>Rayman 2 Revolution - Resolved character collision issues with the ground</li>
<li>Sega Superstars Tennis - SPS on hands/feet is now gone</li>
<li>Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 - Fixed player stance</li>
<li>Wakeboarding Unleashed demo no longer crashes at the loading screen (also requires XGKick hack)</li>
<li>Totally Spies Totally Party! - SPS reduced - (Note: requires EE Cyclerate + 3 to completely fix.)</li>
<li>Twisted Metal Head-On - Black doors have now proper colors</li>
<li>Wakeboarding Unleashed - No longer hangs getting to the menu on release builds</li>
<li>World Series Baseball 2k3 - No longer hangs on the loading screen (game still has&nbsp;other issues)</li>

<p>An IPC protocol was added to PCSX2. This feature gives you a header-only C++ library with bindings in C, Python, Rust, Lua and C# which allows you to communicate with the emulator and the underlying game it emulates. Ever wanted a game to trigger a save state? That's how you'd do it! Want to make advanced TAS tools? AI based players with a fancy GUI to visualize all your neuronal networks?

<p style="text-align: center;">And that's all from us, see you next time in our Q4 Report!</p>

Does anyone know any PS2 driving games that supoort analog sticks i.e driving using analog sticks instead of pressing X button to accelerate. The reason I am asking this is because I don't have controller, so I can bind my keyboard arrow keys to analog sticks.

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with PCSX2, which I hoped would be fixed with new releases like 1.6.0, but they haven't, so that's why I'm here.

My issue is, I have a laptop with a 4K screen, and having the extra pixels really matters to me. However I'm pretty much forced to run my screen at 1080p whenever I want to play a PS2 game, because changing the screen resolution to 3200×1800 can affect framerate so much that it basically becomes slow motion. Mind you, it's not the GPU plugin's internal resolution, that one is set to 3x Native, and it runs at 60-ish fps almost all the time with a 1080p screen resolution. When the game is windowed at 3200×1800, it runs well, but as soon as I go fullscreen, it gets down to 50-55 fps for some games, but can drop to 20-30 fps for others. I suppose it's some sort of bug with the upscaling in PCSX2 (I've tried Right-click pcsx2.exe > properties >compatibility tab > high dpi settings and setting "override high dpi scaling" to System", but same thing happens, so itd doesn't seem to be a Windows thing). Until it gets fixed, any workarounds are welcome.

Some time ago, I was able to run games on PCSX2 and stream them to my TV with my Link and everything seemed to work okay.

However, if I try to now/lately (within the last few months maybe), it seems like it's unable to see the controller. Going into lilypad just shows the Xinputs with a bunch of question marks, pokopom doesn't help either. I've been able to hook the games into Steam to get them launched, full screen and all that, also not opening the pcsx2 console so the (fullscreen) game gets focus.

I've had the same Steam Link settings and all, but maybe something changed on their end too, always a possibility. I've tried doing this with an Xbox One and Xbox 360 controller (through the Link) to no avail. They do both work when directly on the PC though. The pad plugins are set to recognize Xinput and Steam Link/big picture is also set to send Xinput; the controllers work fine with other games/applications when run through the Link. Like I mentioned, I was able to get it to work before, but it just seems not to now.

I might also ask: assuming no faults, should this work? I know it has before, but like is it supported/known to work? I've been banging my head against Google searches trying to get it to work. Certainly not a dealbreaker/PCSX2's problem necessarily but it's a bummer it doesn't!

The subtitles in megaman x8 fmv's keep blinking. tried everything but no workaround, i'm using pcsx2 1.7.0 g491b6e12f avx2 
direct3d11 hw and sw and opengl. turned off the speedhacks and still no change
