Anyone feel like starting up a perfect games list? aka - games that run through pretty much as it would in the ps2, without any/many graphical errors, or at least none that are deal breaking (bunch of things on screen jumbled etc), and that run at playable framerate on a medium to high end system (around 40+ fps, excluding occasional drops or small scenarios with large drops).
reason being many games considered "playable" are barely playable, sometimes with graphical anomalies just flying everywhere in your way, not that im knocking dev teams for not running through all of these 20 hour+ games.
i guess i'll start with the obvious ones:
FFX
FFX-2
Disgaea (or pretty much all 2D sprite based atlus games, don't hold me on that though)
Suikoden 3 (requires a VERY good computer, not 100% sure on this as I haven't finished it but the beginning seems to work with very few graphical errors)
thinking about buying god hand and testing it after playing it through on my ps2.
edit 1:
yeah you guys are right when you say that no game is perfect, but I guess my definition of perfect when discussing emulation would be:
-no game/story killing glitches (polygons all over the place during a cutscene/video etc) although glitching is almost always part of the territory when it comes to emulation
-smooth gameplay by any means (speedhacks etc), i.e. enough framerate to get through it without having to wait for frames with each step, oh and with sound!
-able to finish the game by any means such as using save states at certain points in case of random crashes.
i think these criteria fit for "perfect", as the only limitation would be the speed of current technology for these titles. I'm not quite sure how to organize this list without it being just a huge mess, as everyones specs greatly differs. if anyone more organized, and active (this is my thread and this is the first time ive been back on my comp lol) can think of a way to set this up that would be great.
edit 2:
i think i should just start a new thread with specific guidelines for posting, since we're kind of just posting things at random in this thread. here's a quick list that I just came up with, parenthesized words excluded of course:
(this is considering all official "Speed" settings such as MTGS are turned on, and iso is dumped for faster disc access)
GAME NAME:
PCSX BUILD:
OS:
CPU:
VIDEO CARD:
RAM SIZE, SPEED, TIMINGS:
VIDEO PLUGIN:
SOUND PLUGIN:
EXTRA SETTINGS FOR SPEED/REQUIRED (i.e custom patches and certain speedhacks enabled):
anything else?
