PS1/2 When did PS2 emulation get so good?

[fischju]

The last time I checked (Which is, I'll admit, over a year and a half ago) playing PS2 games at speed was impossible!

Now with PCSX2 9.5 and GsDX 1.7, a fast PC can play a crap load of games? I have RE4 running at 50FPS with no graphical glitches! Shmups like Raidum and R-Type run perfectly!

Can any of you confirm which games actually work on an X2 3800+? Wipeout Fusion runs at 15FPS ("playable", but when 5 real seconds = 1 game second, it isn't.) and GTA Vice City Stories runs at 20 (1/3 speed)

For PS2 emulation you need this

If only Tales of the Abyss worked well...

That is playable according to the newest compatibility list, I haven't tried it. Games run best on C2D and GSDX 1.7 with SSSE3 enabled.

What sort of PC specs are recommended for these emus?

 

[fischju]

You need at least a dual core proc (Higher end X2, C3D) and 7000/1900 series card to run any game well.

Does any game of the Budokai Tenkaichi series work on PCSX2 ?

It works, but sound sucks so bad my ears bleed, and its an RPG so sound sets mood for the scenes.

Which plugins have you tried for sound, and which options for said plugins?

Wow, I'm really interested in hearing more about this. I was just looking at possible softmods for my PS2 (I'm really, really broke for money atm) but if emulation has picked up, I'll have to try it out.

I have a E2180, 8800GT 512mb and 2gig of RAM. Should be beefy enough

Mind sharing all the stuff you're using with me? xD

I think the graphic card you have plays a major role in emulation now days. Even back in PSX emulation, it was more depended on the graphics cards. I think with Geforce 11 and Core 4 Duo, we should emulate games for PS2 perfectly.

 

[SeanoRLY?]

I downloaded all the necessary stuff for this emulator to work. Just waiting for a game... You know ;D

Hopefully it works fine! If not, I'm going to look into softmodding my phat PS2.

Wow.. never new PS2 existed. I'm so outdated when it comes to Sony. I think I have a decent computer to run the PS2 emulator.

Hopefully I'll get to play Disgaea series. Probably some of the Final Fantasy series as well since I missed all of the ones that were on PS2. And Kingdom Hearts, despite having a Kingdom Hearts sig and ava.

Everytime I try to run a game, it shows the ZeroOS screen and then a black screeen and stays there! I know its still doing something because it says fps 170 and keeps around that number... How do you guys get it up and running?

at the price it costs to upgrade your pc to actually play the games on the pc you could have brought a slim ps2 and swap magic, completly pointless
