PCSX2 SVN r4833

EmuCR:PS2 emulatorPCSX2 SVN r4833 is released. PCSX2 is an open source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.

PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r4833
GSdx: CRC hackfixes!

Summary of changes...

Fixed menus and HUD for Spyro: A New Beginning and Spyro: the Eternal Night.

Fixed missing dialogs and reduced the VRam usage a bit for Tales of Legendia ("8-bit textures" help a bit more with Vram/speed). Should be playable now in hardware mode. Thanks to rama for figuring it could be hackfixed this way and the initial patch :)

Half-screen fixes for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, X-men Origins: Wolverine, Call of Duty: World at War - Final Fronts.

Modified the Star Wars: Force Unleashed hackfix a bit, shouldn't have the see-thru objects anymore.
Also modified the Metal Gear Solid 3 and Gran Turismo 4 hackfixes as they needed different skip values for each region (PAL/NTSC). Thanx to avih for the region code... and the free C/C++ lessons :P

The hackfix for Sly 3 was still showing stripes for 3-D and two-player modes, fixed for NTSC version now and hopefully works for PAL one too.

Couple GameDB updates after the gif rewrite.

  2. MGS3: Substance still runs very slow my PC specs are:

    AMD PHENOM II x4 920 @3.3 ghz
    M3a78-cm board
    4GB ram 800mhz
    EVGA 9800gtx+ superclocked

    This is a good pc, i think that pcsx2 still being a poor emulator.

    What's up with MGS3: Substance???

    Try cranking up the speedhacks, running at native resolution, turning off sound, running game from HDD, changing DX modes (9 / 10)... I'm not quite sure but I believe that game is very demanding... While your PC is as you say good... some games are simply a lot more demanding them others (sometimes by several times). There's always option in the end to overclock the crap out of your CPU. Idk. I believe with some time spent setting it up you can get it to playable speeds on your PC (I consider playable 50-55 FPS min most of the times). Overclocking as last resort(and don't do it unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing... seing that that GPU is overclocked out of the box). The new PCSX2 displays tooltips on most options... so "play around" a bit and read some on their official forum. Regards.

  5. Oh yeah... please don't say it's a poor emulator. It's a great emulator. As it emulates that game decently and the only problem is that the emulation is pretty demanding thing. Now concerning speed. Market evolves, more powerful CPU's are coming along, imagine demanding games like these 5 or so years ago, the thing is they couldn't run 5 or so years ago at all and now they can. There's the difference, between it not being able to start and it being demanding. When Crysis came out, people were cursing it was a shitty game, badly optimized one, because they couldn't play it, even though Crysis is one of best shooters out there. This Emu is great, and it's better optimized than anything you'll see... take a look at BSNES for example... It's a great emu... yes.. concerning requirements... bit lower then pcsx2, and now compare those two consoles. Yeah. Heaven and earth. So conclusion. Emu is great cause it's accurate, it being able to run almost every popular PCSX2 game I can think of... and you can run *all "playable" games on it with a mid-range PC (600-800$) with very few speed-hacks.

    *all being all in theory, there might be an exception or two and I'm counting in serious overclocking in it(3.8Ghz-4.6Ghz depending on CPU)

    P.S. You guys seriously need to chill off with the "this emu sucks" crap... If this emu sucks so much, please give me a name of one that is that great in comparison, cause there are none that are even close. This wasn't directed at anyone particular, more like a general statement. :p

    Nichole *just compiles builds... Go complain on main PCSX2 forum. Or try and use the stable build (0.9.8 r4600), that might help.

    Report it to the official pcsx2 forums if you wish, letting "us" know is pretty much pointless. Cheers.

  9. These latest builds are fantastic, can run Gran Turismo 4 at 1080p with 4x scaling, FXAA AND record it in fraps at full resolution :0 *came buckets*

  11. the 3-4 latest builds are towards the right way. Finally tekken 4 is perfect. Perfect graphics, perfect speed. Hard to believe just how good it runs. Other games now have almost zero graphical glitches. The other thing remaining is the speed, but I thing it is up to our machines. For example tekken 5 will never run at 60fps, on 2year old rigs.

  12. MGS3 is just a very intensive game to run. Running it in hardware mode is a lot quicker, there are glitches and certain things dont display properly but it's perfectly playable.

    I totally agree with you the pcsx2 emulator is awesome, after putting all the effort from it. I cannot say it is poor. it is one of the best emulators optimized I've seen in my life.
    But yeah... Crysis do suck. & its graphics are good but very overrated, the game runs much slower than what it really is. beside the superiority of the gameplay. the game is horribly optimized. I have hard time maxing it out even with a GTX 480.

  15. Fixed menus and HUD for Spyro: A New Beginning and Spyro: the Eternal Night.

    Unfortunately, this version of the emulator still does not work properly with versions of the localization of The Legend of Spyro: ANB and The Legend of Spyro: TEN.
    Maybe you can add to "game fixes"?
