a couple of questions from an emulation noob, GOW series mainly

[Bositman]

It does make a difference, AFAIK it uses progressive interlacing making it look better

[Squall Leonhart]

but progressive scan is the lack of interlacing. D:

[handakes]

2) well Fraps use resources that PCSX2 is using too Duh !
and PCSX2 have a built in recording which shows the video full speed don't believe that ( well get slowdowns while recording too )

1) i don't think borrowing a BIOS from a friend is a legal however

ahm, i have a quad core processor, PCSX2 uses only 2, so i set affinity of PCSX for 2 cores ,and fraps for 2 others..now it's not using the same resources (dah! ) ..

and there is still the fact that you-tubers with much lower rigs than mine can do it with descent speeds..

[Bositman]

Youtube videos can often be sped up to full speed, regardless of the gameplay speed when they were being recorded. PCSX2 can use 3 cores, by using the new MTVU speed hack.

but progressive scan is the lack of interlacing. D:

At least in Tekken games, progressive looks much better than interlaced with any interlacing method of GSdx

sooooo, any chance i can use the built in recorder for that instead of fraps, i press F12, i get the window with the codec choice..chose Xvix-mpeg-4..Ok..and nothing..also nothing in the root folder of PCSX2

should i enable something in the options to make it use more than cores? or that MTVU is enabled by default (i am running fine, but a friend of mine with a lesser quad core rig needs a speed boost )

[abdo123]

are you using 1.0.0 the MTVU speedhack should be in the Speedhacks section !

[Bositman]

Did you specify a path for the file..? Also you are supposed to press F12 twice to stop recording and generate your files properly

[handakes]

are you using 1.0.0 the MTVU speedhack should be in the Speedhacks section !

yeah, just found out i had it enabled for me all the time (keep forgetting stuff these days )

Did you specify a path for the file..? Also you are supposed to press F12 twice to stop recording and generate your files properly

i did,but there is nothing indicting a record is in progress except for the intermittent fps drops..

---

ok, now it shows me the x-vid info window..i recorded for a bit, but then i press F12 twice like you said..it doesn't stop!..nothing changes

i don't know what am doing! "i feel so stupid right now"..

EDIT: woops, found it..was not in the directory i specified, i clicked another folder by mistake while choosing directory..thanks a bunch guys

EDIT2: that's just plain weird...when i record i get frame drop inside the game, but the recording is fine!..and is running @ full speed..O.o

[Trotterwatch]

The recordings will always be full speed, even if the game itself was running at 1fps.

i set the resolution 2x and the MSAA 8x and i was trying to play GT4.Before the race starts the pc crashed and the RAM usage was 91%
pc specs:intel core i5 2430m,gpu nvidia gt 520m,ram 4gb,os windows 7 64 bit.The game runs perfect in native resolution and without harware speedhacks,but i was wondering why my pc crashed and RAM usage was too high.Sorry for bad english.
