Hello
I have a question about compatibility in hardware mode, upscaled - as a new pcsx2 user I'm not too familiar with avoidance over glitches that occur while upscaling these great classics.
I know that specific games do require some HW hacks and even running in native/software to avoid serious graphical glitches, but are there any universal settings that works good for most games?
Another thing - what is the overall compatibility of the latest pcsx 1.2.1 with games while using hardware mode, upscaled?
Can we say for example that xx% of all working games would work flawless (or with a very minor graphical glitches that will not ruin our enjoyment)
How to you measure the xx% ?

No. Apart from the default ones, of course.

I'd say around 40%, but that´s just a wild guess...

I see, it looks like ps2 is REALLY hard machine to emulate, still most games do have glitches.
How is that ePSXe and ppsspp can handle scaling almost perfectly with above 90% accuracy (VERY minor glitches in ppsspp, almost no in epsxe, OGL2)?
Another question - if I tweak scaling from native to 2x or 3x would it do more stress only to my GPU or also to my CPU??
Also if turning FXAA on would impact performance of my CPU or solely GPU?

the stress is more on the gpu rather than the cpu, that's why you need a powerful gpu to play at upscaled resolutions.

but, this case is applicable only when, the op has a weaker cpu. (or) when, the gpu is bottlenecking the system.

But we don't know the OPs hardware, so we can't say.
Anyway look at my system. Upscaling hits my CPU much harder. Neither are lacking for power.
