Install one of these first: DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer (direct link), DirectX End-User Runtime
Then this one, too: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Make sure you have at least Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista installed.
Latest revision: here (on hold until gabest comes back, for the time being compile on your own)
Minimum requirements: Pixel Shader 2.0.
Recommended: DirectX 10 level video card, Windows Vista.
Note: SSSE3 is supported by the Intel Core 2 Duo series.
Note 2: SSE4 is supported ONLY by the Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn series or above, meaning the E7xxx, E8xxx models for dual cores and the Q9xxx models for quad cores. All Intel i7 models also supported.
How to report a bug with a gs dump:
- Go to a static scene in the game where not much is moving and the bug is visible.
- Make sure it is not the spikey polygon syndrome.
- Press SHIFT + F8.
- In the snap folder of pcsx2 you will find a .gs file next to the .bmp.
- Compress and upload them.
rundll32 gsdx.dll,GSReplay <.gs file> (v1.5+)
or
rundll32 gsdx.dll,GSReplay <renderer index> <.gs file> (v1.7+)
Good for benchmarking too.

Welcome to our forums, from all the pcsx2 playground staff
And oh,I started moving out the thank yous to an appropriate thread, and also I'll delete/split useless things, like the one thousand asked "directx tells me to update" or "SSS3 on athlon" posts
hope I'll be able to clean the thread of useless things

That was a quick reply.
RE: GSdx - bigmehdi - 01-13-2009 02:59 AM
Hi Gabest ,
I tried your plugin with Windows 7 beta 1 , (just was curious)
and I got the message "please update directx!",
which is a bit weird.
I guess we'll have to wait for win 7 support...
And have you tried updating it?
I just tried updating, and it worked .
Sorry for my fast conclusion.

Oh, and in the emulator console, ( using both PCSX2 and PLayground) it says it supports SSE3, but not SSE4.1
The land of SSE is very confusing. I'll step you through slowly.
SSE & SSE2 - Easy ones. Most any modern CPU supports them!
SSE3 - a few instructions, none too impressive. Supported on P4's and above, and AMD64s and above.
SSSE3 - A special INTEL ONLY set of extensions to SSE3. Yes, it has a 3rd S. It's not a typo. Yes it's stupid to name it that. It was Intel's idea. No AMD chips support it that I know of. Maybe they don't like the name.
SSE4 - Minimally useful extension of SSEs introduced with one of the secondary versions of the Core2 line of Intel CPUs.
SSE4a - A mostly worthless "alternative" to SSE4, supported by AMD chips only (no Intel cpu supports these). Your Phenom supports SSE4a, but unfortunately it doesn't offer anything remotely useful to Pcsx2. It also lack all but the most useless of SSE4 instructions (SSE4 has 54 instructions, only 7 or 9 of which are in SSE4a)
SSE4.1 - Useful additions to the SSE instruction set, but only Intel CPUs support them so far (newer Core2's).
SSE4.2 - New instructions offered by the i7, and again nothing to exciting here from a Pcsx2 standpoint.
So yeah, your CPU supports SSE3 (not SSSE3!) and SSE4a (not SSE4!) instructions, but unfortunately neither of them are very useful to Gsdx. So you're stuck using SSE2.

My good old S754 Newcastle supports SSE2 only and lacks segmentation in 64Bit mode (needed by vmware for 64Bit virtualization).

RE: GSdx - XSol - 01-16-2009 12:44 PM
Hi Gabest! I'm impessed your work and got some questions for you.
At fist, are you used your own hand-writed software rasterizator or it's a custom version of allready exist DX emulator with some modified stages for best accurate. I ask it couse your plugin works even better(much less bugs) on software mode. And as i know you use tile like render(or scanline), can it be acellerated by CUDA/OpenCL? or it need more expensive store than 16kb in allready exist DX10 NV chips(As i know it have good banwith but horrible latency, and i don't realy know can it be used for programs task or it just for sync threats?) Maybe software render with implemet of CUDA code for filter and blending be the best case?(much of fps goes down in scenes with bangs in FFXII, but at all your software is very fast compared to others raster emulators) And in FFXII has problems with shadow maps on hardware and faces of low-poly ver of models(line, only at DX10 hardware), line is lost without filtering. Do you use fixed pipe(texture filtering blocks) for filter or do it by shaders?
PS: Sorry for my English

RE: GSdx - Gabest - 01-17-2009 12:47 PM
XSol:
It's my own rasterizer, nothing like d3d, but works like any other scanline renderer. CUDA will be generalized in DX11 as compute shaders, but I'm not sure how to take advantage of it yet. A little serial code is required to manage the state/textures and interpolate the edges of the primitives, that cannot be done on the gpu. But it's already looking much better than a simple pixel shader, any buffer can be read or written at any location, swizzling and read-and-modify effects like destination alpha test, write bitmasks, or the weird alpha blending modes can be implemented there. The dx10 "lines" may have many reasons, the different pixel center, upscaling, float/integer conversion, it's hard to get texture sampling right
.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 01-17-2009 03:11 PM
It was all the same in the last few versions, just made the software renderer faster each time.

Is it possible to get a fix for Rogue Galaxy any time soon ( i heard this happen to other games, only happen in videos of past event or flashbacks), it would be enough if it work correctly on software mode since it is close to real ps2, this would make Rogue Galaxy on pcsx2 exactly like it is on ps2. here the pics on Dx9 hardware, Dx10 hardware and Dx10 Software.

RE: GSdx - Raghar - 01-19-2009 07:33 PM
Hi Gabest.
I played with PCSX2 a little, and it looks like FFXII PAL videos have some issues with either your plugin or something behind the scenes in PCSX2, probably both.
SW mode is fine, however HW mode creates problems like black frames, and miss aligned frames. (Bunch of vertical stripes shifted with respect to each other.)
Do you have any idea how to repair it? Can you compile your plugin with SSE2 instructions disabled and use switch FP:precise? (I don't have MFC headers and import libraries on my computer.)

RE: GSdx - rama - 01-23-2009 05:13 PM
Heya Gabest,
Since we have Tri-Ace games running now and they have a few issues with GSdx, could you take a look at it?
First is a slowness problem, ZeroGS gets 4 times the fps in that scene
Update: The slowness is caused by the internal resolution, setting it to 800 by 600 makes it lots faster than native res or 1024 by 1024...
Update2:
Code:
if(GSUtil::HasSharedBits(fi.FBP, fi.FPSM, fi.TBP0, fi.TPSM))
{
// skip = 1;
}Second one is a problem with upscaling, the subtitles disappear and in motion some random texture data is seen instead of the black.
Hope you have some time to look at those, these games deserve a perfect display

Just discovered a bug in palette handling, strange it did not cause too many visible problems, the "one piece" games had wrong colors here and there.
rama:
D3D can't use the same surface as a texture and render target, gsdx makes a copy of the RT first, which is not perfect, but fixes more games than it breaks. If you enable the skipping you will get more speed of course.

Hey Gabest, can you fix this particular problem with MGS 3: Substistence?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/grimlord/mgs3graphicsglitch.jpg
It happens on water, on ingame monitors and such. Like the right part of those surfaces is glitchy. As you see, only the right part of the water is funky. There are also some graphical bugs with this game, like weird shadows on the ground. Where light should go through trees, and shine on the ground, the ground looks normal and dark, and in all the shadows, everything is a bit bright.
Though I'm sure you're aware of this problem... It doesn't happen on ZeroGS, but that plugin is just too slow for this game, so... Hope it is not much of a problem for you. It could fix a lot of stuff...

Devil May Cry 3 SE NTSC
GSDX 1.14 sse4
The game looks almost perfect in dx9 mode except for a strange mask that appears either on the left or right quadrant of the screen. In dx10 mode the entire screen seem to be covered in this mask and has strange extreme HDR effects. I've provided comparison shots. In this particular area dx9 mode doesn't have the mask on the side but it does show up in others. also just noticed that the shadow alignment on dx9 looks off while it looks correct on the dx10 shot. I don't know if this is a pcsx2 issue or gsdx issue but, the game also isn't displayed in the correct aspect, the screen is squeezed upward from the bottom and black space fills that area.

RE: GSdx - coisman - 01-31-2009 09:16 AM
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this but Valkyrie Profile 2 has a serious problem which makes the game unplayable. As soon as you enter the forest, the game becomes like that. Tried in GSDX9 and GSDX10 hardware mode, native resolution. The graphics are completely broken :/
EDIT: Now that I look more closely, it seems that, rather than the graphics being broken, they're being covered up by something...because sometimes the picture becomes clear, but then it goes back to looking like that.
EDIT 2: I tried loading state from the forest in gsdx software mode (it was too slow to get there from the start) and aside from a reddish tint, the graphical problems seem to go away.

Thank you for your
help
The game itself outputs interlaced graphics. GSDX's settings are for deinterlacing. Thus selecting "No Interlacing" GSDX does nothing and you get the jaggy image. Try playing with the different interlacing modes ( you can change them on-the-fly with F5 ).
RE: GSdx - happydays - 01-31-2009 09:46 PM
Hello, thank you for your reply.
In another thread where I talked about this, another user of the board said that they get progressive graphics when choosing "None" for interlacing.
Here is a link to that thread:
http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-3224.html
If you don't want to read through it all then ere are some thoughts I wrote in that thread about this issue:
"...There is software (both commercial and homebrew) that can force a PS2 game to output in progressive scan mode instead of interlaced. And of course there are also some PS2 games that offer this option through their menus...
...For one example of what I mean check out this:
http://gear.ign.com/articles/742/742965p1.html
...it does mean that through a third-party program all PS2 games can be made to run in progressive mode WITHOUT deinterlacing or interpolating, which means that it could be possible for an emulator like PCSX2 to force a progressive scan mode itself..."
Basically my thought is that it is clear that the PS2 can be forced to output progressive.
This possibility is interesting to me because I have tried all of the different de-interlacing options and none of them look right on my PC monitor (60hz.) They can lessen comb somewhat, but it is always there in some form.
So if homebrew and commercial software can be made that makes a game use progressive output, then it seems like it would have to be possible for a graphics interpreter running as part of an emulator to be able to force it also.
It is not a matter of changing the game's executable file, but of having a certain string of code loaded before the executable runs, as in the device I linked you to.
I read the PCSX2 FAQ and cannot find technical information on why the PCSX2 emulator only outputs in interlaced mode while every other emulator outputs progressive (even for systems that never supported any kind of progressive output, such as Nintendo, Sega Genesis, etc.) Do you know where I please can read technical information onthis issue?
Thank you very much have a good weekend! Bye!
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 01-31-2009 10:51 PM
The games that look progressive without any in-game option run at half rate but render full resolution images. The video-out is still interlaced at 60/50 fps but the two fields that get combined are from the same image so there is no sawtooth effect to see. When there is, two different images are rendered in vram and every second is shifted by half pixel down. This shifting can be done in many ways, by changing the global vertex offset or directly manipulating the vertex coordinates. I know a few games that are so buggy that the osd is not shifted just the 3d, or sometimes they forget about the field order and the screen shakes for a sec, even on tv. In the old days, gsdx (and other plugins) tried to round the offset or the coordinates, with a low success rate
. The other trick was to report the same field on video-out all the time, that method only worked for games that did the shift based on this value, the rest either tracked the field in a privately alternated variable, or simply waited for this flag to change before starting the next frame and therefore stopped working. So, to summarize, there is no universal way to turn every game into progressive.---
D3D fixes are on hold currently. I simply don't have time to spend hours on it for each game. The whole hw rendering thing needs a major rewrite, I've seen sample code for dx10-level hardware that utilized compute shaders, maybe we won't even have to upgrade to run gsdx11.
RE: GSdx - happydays - 01-31-2009 11:00 PM
Hi Gabest, thanks for your reply!
So you are saying that the Xploder HDTV program just combines two frames and halves the frame rate? So whereas a normal PS2 game would run at 480i x 30, a game tweaked by HDTV Xploder will run at 480p x 15?
I ask because I thought that maybe a method similar to HDTV Xploder's could be used in PCSX2, but if it works in the way described above then I guess it's no different from your de-interlacing method of dropping a field.

480i/60 and 480p/30, but no idea what it really does. Since it has a loader it may try to patch the code, or change those field flags, or could even include some game specific fixes.
I didn't mention in my previous post, but real interlaced games have two types.
First type renders two half height images (one of them shifted) nicely layed out in the memory next to eachother, one field is presented, the other is drawn, like normal double buffering. What you see is sawtooth effect but at full resolution if nothing moves. There is nothing you can do to make this type progressive.
The second type does not do double buffering but renders full height images at 60 fps (also shifts every second). The video-out still receives half height images though, there is a mixer circuit at the end that can automatically downscale it to the right size. It's a kind of full screen antialiasing effect, as suggested in one of the pdfs in the sdk, 2x vertical supersampling. The result is the same on screen as in the first case. The major difference is that we have full resolution images in memory and from then on the presentation settings are entirely controlled by GS. It would be possible to drop half of the frames (60->30 fps, stops shaking) and switch the video-out to progressive mode, that way downscaling would not happen because the output size it needs matches exactly the image in memory. Of course, in real life, things aren't so simple, the output mixer can be configured to position and alpha-blend two image sources (or one image and a color value) on screen in many ways. This trick needs to be carefully carried out to be successful, and only works for the games that run in this mode.
RE: GSdx - happydays - 02-01-2009 12:13 AM
Hello again, thank you!
Ok.
The HDTV Xploder program says it has about 90 percent compatibility. I have ordered it now that it sounds like PCSX2 cannot be made to be progressive, and I will try running it with PCSX2. I will write and let you know if it seems to halve the frame rate or if it works by some other method, if it would helpful to you to know this.
So if a method similar to HDTV Xploder were viable for emulation, it would be implemented in the core program rather than through a graphics plug-in?

Mr. Gabest, is it's not very hard - please, add "16:10" to aspect ratio list. It will be very useful in fullscreen mode for FullHD and HD-ready monitors with resolution like 1650x1080, 1920x1200, etc.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 02-02-2009 10:06 PM
In stretch mode you'll get exactly 16:10, am I wrong?
RE: GSdx - standrs - 02-02-2009 11:07 PM
is the gt4 issue known yet? is it a big one, or is it fixable, because it seems it is gsdx issue?
the games runs almost fine without good hardware, too bad half of the game is blocked because of that, including the precious licences.
btw great job thx a lot for your work.
RE: GSdx - Federelli - 02-03-2009 02:59 AM
Selecting a 16:10 resolution and selecting stretch gives you a 16:10 aspect ratio, although the game will most likely look... stretched.

Turbo and HT on, when you set the threads to 8, the software renderer causes the sound to stutter badly. I turned the threads down to 6 and that went away, though I guess I should have checked 7. I7 at 180 bclock, 20x mult with turbo on. Reads 3.770 ghz.

RE: GSdx - Crevox - 02-04-2009 07:54 AM
Whenever I use the GSDX plugin with Final Fantasy XII (INT), it works fine, up until the point I start walking about in Rabanastre(sp?). The emulator will crash with the generic windows message, with nothing out of the ordinary in the console. I have tried this with and without speedhacks (all that could be turned off, to my knowledge). This does not only happen in Rabanastre, but only starts at that point (loading a further into-the-game save also yields crashes with GSDX, depending on the location).
No crashes occur with ZeroGS PG, using the same emulator settings, so it has to be GSDX. However, ZeroGS has degraded quality and slower frame rates. I've heard people say they've played on GSDX - is there something I'm doing wrong?
GSdx Revision 896 SSE2 - I've used many revisions previous to this as well (I was hoping updating would help, but didn't). It seems to occur less on GSDX 0.1.8, but still does too much (though that could just be me being paranoid about it
).Any help/ideas/etc?
RE: GSdx - Register - 02-04-2009 08:35 AM

Second this post. The game works fine-ish (random freezes / crashes) in ZeroGS, but atleast you can go into a race and take part in it for a few minutes. With GSDX (dx9 version) it crashes 100% of the time when any race starts. The crash didn`t occur on early versions of the plugin.

ZeroGS works without any crashes at all (I can play for hours), but GSDX crashes within the first 5 minutes, depending on the location. However, I'd rather use GSDX since raising the internal resolution doesn't cause that much lag (1-2 fps drop compared to ZeroGS AA) and it has overall higher FPS than ZeroGS. I use XP (DirectX 9) by the way. I don't know what you meant by "rival".
(That is, if you're referring to my post

In Saint Seiya HADES there are some texture problems in some stages.
As you can see in the attached files, in some stages(almost all), many textures appears black(faces, body parts, some stages textures).
In another stages(a few number of stages), textures appears normal, also if a little "squared".
EDIT: This problem is resolved by last Beta PG.
RE: GSdx - Nexxxus - 02-05-2009 03:01 PM
Hey Gabest,
I hope you already noticed that problem:
in Square Games like KH1,2 or FFX/X-2 i get black lines on the faces of lowpoly character models.
Highpoly models are mostly ok.
The lines are also moving if there are texture animations for facial expressions.
As far i remember the problem first appeared in DX10 mode, in later releases also in DX9 mode.
It doesn't matter if i use native or a custom resolution.
I hope you can fix this.

you can try to set the "prerender limit" to 1 in the nvidia control panel, maybe this helps. either that, or play with tearing :/

@ottoman :
thank you for suggestion,but setting prerender limit to 1 does not seems making any conceivable difference.And I haven't noticed any delay problem in my PC games with Vsync,but PCSX2,I guess the delay in PCSX2 should be around 100-200ms,that 6-12 frame for a 60frame/s game.
I also found that if I change the refresh rate from 60 to 85,the response time will be much better,but the motion images also become somewhat 'sluggish/inconsistent'(sorry no better word as english is not my mother tone),guess there is no perfect solution eh.

I want to report a problem with Gsdx and dx10 mode, i tested each plugins and i found that since the version GSdx 0.1.2, Front Mission 4 NTSC (slus20888) crash after the intro movie in dx10 mode only.
All previous version of your wonderful plugin works like a charm in dx10 mode.
Maybe only Front Mission 4 got this problem.
Thanks.
I don't seem to have that problem. It used to freeze if i don't use native res, but now it doesn't anymore either. So seems to be fine with me.

Yeah I noticed on Tales Of Destiny: Directors Cut. That DirectX 10 mode crashes immediately on startup if not set to native res. It's the only game I've ever had do that though.

Just wanted to inform everybody that gsdx's source was moved to the main repository of pcsx at google. And that I discovered xbyak, a nice little JIT assembler, and has already rewritten a few things in assembly to add another 10-20% fps to the already quite speedy software renderer. (SoTC went from 8 to 10 fps inside the castle
) The PABE effect was not tested yet because I couldn't find anything that used it, if it beeps and prints PABE on the console please tell me which game was that.

Something happens... :P
Also, tested new version - it's really much faster. Now FMVs in Atelier Iris @ 49FPS with SWx2thread.
But it's still have huge slowdowns (FPS drops to 16) when animated magic effect appears (talking about Atelier Iris) and some glitches with wrapped BGs.

RE: GSdx - coisman - 02-11-2009 09:35 PM
Gabest, thanks for the info. Thanks to your link, I was successfully able to fix smmintrin.h and compile GSDX SSE4.1 version
For those who are having trouble compining and SSE4.1 versions, this is how to fix:
Find smmintrin.h, it should be somewhere in your VS2008 directory, for me it was in E:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include. There was also another one in
E:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\crt\src, I ended up changing both of them.
Open up the file. Starting from line 54 you should see this:
#define _mm_ceil_pd(val) _mm_round_pd((val), _MM_FROUND_CEIL);
#define _mm_ceil_sd(dst, val) _mm_round_sd((dst), (val), _MM_FROUND_CEIL);
#define _mm_floor_pd(val) _mm_round_pd((val), _MM_FROUND_FLOOR);
#define _mm_floor_sd(dst, val) _mm_round_sd((dst), (val), _MM_FROUND_FLOOR);
#define _mm_ceil_ps(val) _mm_round_ps((val), _MM_FROUND_CEIL);
#define _mm_ceil_ss(dst, val) _mm_round_ss((dst), (val), _MM_FROUND_CEIL);
#define _mm_floor_ps(val) _mm_round_ps((val), _MM_FROUND_FLOOR);
#define _mm_floor_ss(dst, val) _mm_round_ss((dst), (val), _MM_FROUND_FLOOR);
Just delete the semicolons from the end and save, and voila, compiling should be fixed.
EDIT: Well, seems like this fix only works for the SSE 4.1 :/

Thanks Gabest, Shadow Hearts in software mode really got a big boost when there special effects, like the wind enemy special are at normal speed 45-60fps, when he breaks the roof of the train the speed it still 45-60 before it was like 25fps, the only time thats really slow is when the hero appear in the boss fight it gets 15fps, but still that was a awesome boost of fps in software mode.

I don't have the resize problem with DX10, though, when I start playing, it never even enters fullscreen mode, it just plays in the window mode. If I switch to DX9, then I can play fullscreen.

dx10 doesn't have a fullscreen mode it just streches to fullscreen
you can only use alt+enter
also don't press esc in dx10 streched-to-fullscreen the emu will give an error message (if you use playground or the newer svns you can activate "close GS Window on esc" under Misc

Software mode race condition crash. - Air - 02-13-2009 02:23 PM
There appears to be a race condition in gsdx software threading during the shutdown procedure. When I'm running pcsx2 from the debugger (F5), gsdx will without fail crash everytime I try to exit. I'm using DX9 software rasterizer with 3 threads, and the crash has been happening since at least r880 (sourceforge).
The crash is a reference to the deallocated m_data member variable in GSRasterizerMT::ThreadProc(). So yea, more or less cut-and-dry, m_data gets freed before the rasterizer waits for the threads to close.
I'd have troubleshooted it further, but it's probably something to do with the implicitly unnatural order-of-operations when it comes to C++ object destructors, and that's just a little beyond where I care to go here this morning. >_<
Good luck!

Hi Gabest, first of all, sorry for my poor english.
The videos in FF XII (PAL) version doesnt work well, you know that. I was try with the ZeroGS plugin and the videos works well, but the game quality is very poor.
Then when i was using antialisiasing and ZeroGS plugin makes the same error with the videos than your plugin. Identical error.
Also if i use native resolution with your plugin the videos works well.
Maybe this information helps you to find a way to solve the problem.
And... It is possible a port of your Xpad plugin for PS1 emulators like ePSXe? I will like that, and im sure that very people like me too.
Thank you for your great work and your time.

GSdx9 crashes Dragon Quest VIII (NTSC) in Hardware mode in Swordsman's Labyrinth (Software mode does not provoke a crash).
More detail:
Game: Dragon Quest VIII (NTSC)
# Playground version(s): svn681, svn708, and snapshot-478
# CPU: eerec on, vurec0 and vurec1 on and MTGS on
# Plugins used: GSdx (0.1.9, 0.1.11, 0.1.12, and 0.1.14) + SPU2ghz Playground 1.9.0 + Gigaherz's CDVD Plugin 0.7.0 + SSSPSX PAD 1.7.0
# No Speed Hacks, no frame limiting
# Bug Description: Crashes (generic Windows program fault) inside Swordsman's Labyrinth (happens a few seconds after entering independent of any action) using GSdx9 (SSE41) Direct3D9 (Hardware) but not with Direct3D9 (Software). Using a save state to try to bypass the crashing does not work (i.e. trying to load a save state in Hardware mode anywhere in the dungeon results in an immediate crash).
# Bug Sidenotes: Crash does not occur with GSdx 0.1.4, but there are significant graphical glitches. ZeroGS Playground plugin doesn't crash either, but there is significant artifacting/etc (e.g. torches and other lighting objects throughout the level are visible through walls/floors).

Hi again, no way to solve the videos problem without downscaling?
About psx emulators I was using ePSXe but already using PCSX Reloaded.
This emulator can use the same plugins that ePSXe, and can use controllers plugins but dont detects your Xpad plugin.
I'm using the PCSX2 PadSSSPSX plugin for this emulator and works well with rumble in my logitech rumblepad2 controller, but since I have XBOX360 wireless controller, the rumble function dont works.
In PCSX2 emulator Xpad works perfect with rumble support and i will to know if maybe using Xpad plugin in PCSX can I play with rumble again.
I cant install XBCD drivers that gives rumble support for old games and emulators because my controller is wireless.
Maybe using your plugin works awesome like in PCSX2.
Thank you for quickly answering me, regards...

The modified xpad works fine with that version of pcsx, but it uses the high-level functions, through which vibration cannot be controlled (edit: lol, not actually, just required them to be there to load the dll, calls the low level functions instead).

Hi, Gabest:
I have a issue about FFXII. just the first teaching scene, the fps is only 15~20. But if I use the lastest version and windows just startup, the fps can reach 20~25. But if I use software rendering, the fps is 30+.... But in the city, the hardware rendering can keep about 50+
I guess there is something wrong in the first teaching scene.
BTW: if I use latest version at the first scene reach 25fps, then change to old version, such as 896, the fps is slow to 16fps, then I change the version again to latest, the fps is still 16. I feel it's not stable.

Anyway,can you help with this little problem that I have?
Game:Code Lyoko:Quest for Infinity
PCSX2 version: Snapshot 478
CPU options:
-EERec
-Vu0Rec
-VU1Rec
-MTGS
-Frame limiting(I usually use Limit option,but sometimes I change in-game with F4)
Plugin used:
-GSdx 872m (MSVC 15,00, SSE2) 0.1.14
-SSSPSX PAD Plugin Pressure Mod 1.7.0
-Linuz/Pg Iso CDVD 0.8.0
-USBnull Driver 0.5.0
-SPU2ghz Playground 1.90
-DEV9null Driver 0.3.0
-FWnull Driver 0.4.0
-Europe v2.00(14/06/2004) Console
My PC configuration:
-CPU:AMD Phenom X3 Triple-Core 8450@2.10 GHz
-Graphic: Gainward Nvidia GeForce 9600GT 1024 MB GDDR3
-RAM:3 GB DDR2
-Sound: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE, 5.1 PCI bulk
-HDD1:Maxtor 120 GB
-HDD2:Hitachi 500 GB
-OS:MS Windows XP SP3
The game works almost perfect.But the main menu looks so bad,that I can’t read a thing.
Also,when I’m in game and when Jeremy talks graphics get totally destroyed.
It first appeared on Playground version 636.I also tried without speed hack and it didn’t help.
But,when I use Zero GS Playground 0.97.1 it works perfect,in game and main menu.
The thing is that I can’t run with that plugin because the game is then too slow.
I posted some screens for you.

RE: GSdx - LarsXI - 02-18-2009 11:41 PM
Howdy everyone,
I've followed the guide quite carefully and my setup works with with other graphics plugins,
However, when loading with the latest version of gsdx, I see the boxes and lights, with the "sony computer entertainment," this fades out and instead of being followed by the playstation logo, etc., pcsx will crash, and I'm prompted to send an error report.
I have the latest version of direct x
the error signature:
AppName: pcsx2.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: gsdx-ssse3.dll
ModVer: 1.0.1.9 Offset: 00266422
I figured it was a common problem that came up because I didn't know what I was doing, but searching has yielded nothing similar.
has anyone had a similar experience?
thanks for your time
RE: GSdx - andreab - 02-18-2009 11:53 PM

Speaking of which, it is not present in the dx10 version of Gsdx, am I correct? I was wondering, would it be difficult or not possible to implement the "fix" for the fog present in the dx10 version of the plugin in the dx9 version? It seems something worthwhile to me, I think the people that still are not able/willing to have an OS that supports dx10 are not exactly a minority.
RE: GSdx - Bositman - 02-19-2009 04:41 AM
You're wrong it IS present in DX10 mode,but isn't as intense as in DX9. Also gabest seems to be mainly coding the DX10 part of his plugin leaving the DX9 part behind and I can't blame him...got to go with the new technologies and take advantage of them

RE: GSdx - oasis1977 - 02-19-2009 06:12 PM
Correctme if i´m wrong. There´s 2 issues of Green problems in GOW
1) SS2 - DirectX10: Kratos looks Fine, but all the envairoment sorrund him is Green
2) SSS3 - DirectX9: Kratos looks Fine, and half the enviroment looks fine, but the other half behind the fog is all Green
3) SSS3 - DirectX10: All looks Great!
I´m correct? There´s 2 issues then: the SS2, wich is the only you can use if you have a AMD Proccesor (SSS3 is not supported by AMD), and the DX9/10 Issue that is solved if you switch to VISTA o W7
Is to spect that GABEST work only in the DX10 version for lots of reasons, but this is a problem all can solve by switching to VISTA o W7, but what about the SS2? Is not that easy shitch from AMD to Intel, just to play the game
RE: GSdx - Mitsuki - 02-19-2009 06:50 PM
it's funny isnt it but i realized that if you try using the SSS4, there's a typo stating SSS41 lol
RE: GSdx - kabooz - 02-19-2009 07:22 PM
you mean SSE4 not SSS4....
and no it's called SSE4.1 AFAIK
amd also has a SSE4

There is big slow down during summon shiva in FFX when using DX9 hardware. The fps drop to 13 and choke cpu to 99%. However, software mode only drop till 50+ fps during this scene.
Well i know my gfx card is abit slow. Still wondering why i'm seeing no fps improvement when removed in game ps_main. I don't have vista system to try out if any different for dx10 though.
RE: GSdx - montecrudo - 02-20-2009 01:51 AM
Nope, I get the same big slow down. It's this new version of the plugin (r535). Try an old plugin and you'll be fine.

You''re running a debug build of the DLL. Clean out all instances of gsdx.dll in any checked out copies of pcsx2 source, and rebuild clean. And make sure the generated .DLL you're running is only ~950k.
This is partly my fault because I've been desperately trying to get the new build system wrinkle free, but it's so time consuming to do properly, and people keep asking me for other things which are more urgent. So I only got halfway done, and then Gabest undid it (since it sucked) in r535. The bottom line, the DLLs generated by Gsdx moved around a couple times, and it caused me to end up running the wrong version of the DLL too. I'd randomly get 150fps one session and 35 fps the next.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 02-20-2009 05:39 PM
I'm not really fond of anything that breaks visual studio's awareness of its files. The workaround for missing subwcrev.exe is fine to me, though it could have been done in a way that does not lower future mantainablility, I'm thinking of the duplication of the command files for every project, going to be a ***** to change anything everywhere if someone has a new idea. But things like renaming output just makes it harder for the developer to work on the project. I have already told (ranted
) this to Ref when I first noticed it in an update. For example at the debugger settings of pcsx2 I just put $(TargetPath) $(TargetDir) and never had to touch that again. Now the output is not there where it was generated by the linker and does not even have a fixed name thanks to the ever increasing revision number. Solution: I still use an old build that just has the name of "pcsx2r.exe", since I'm a lazor who refuses to do more than hitting the build button after every svn update. Or another example, build checks if the output is there, compares its file date to the source, and if obsolite relinks it. Now if anything happens to the renamed exe/dll, the original is still there and the post build step won't restore it because visual studio finds everything to be done. Or, if you just wanna create a little setup project, you can only refer to known outputs. There is no setup project of course, just wanted to point out the shortcomings of the obscure post build step. It gives me the shivers when I see one.
RE: GSdx - dralor - 02-20-2009 07:15 PM
Persona4 has an annoying bug in hardware mode. DX10 fixes every prob in DX9 that I've come across except this. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't flash and change patterns dependent of where you are standing on the floor. DX9 meanwhile has clipping, shadow and flashing area's on different parts of the floor.
RE: GSdx - Air - 02-20-2009 07:59 PM
The biggest problem I've run into is finding a way to make it so plugins can both be checked out of SVN alone (ie, http://code.google.com/p/pcsx2/trunk/plugins/gsdx/), and also checked out as part of the full trunk ... and still have it work in both cases. That was what I was hoping to achieve, which is why I couldn't use the absolute pathnames for the build scripts, since that precluded requiring the whole svn checked out always in order to get the /common/ folder.
I was actually thinking plugin authors (like you) would be annoyed with the idea of *having* to check everything out, and so I was doing it as a favor to you so that the plugin wasn't explicitly dependent on pcsx2's complete svn layout. I also thought devs might be annoyed with the idea of having the build system assume that things are going to be run from the $(TargetDir) location. So I wanted to avoid using any absolute paths that I could, like the ..\..\..\..\..\bin\plugins type stuff that gsdx uses currently.
But if I'm wrong in those assumptions then I guess I might as well go back to a /common/ folder scenario. I'm easy.
Regarding the post-build step: It's terribly handy for our dedicated testers to have the post-build script auto-copy files into -r* names. I'm rather fond of it myself, for that matter, and I haven't run into any problems with it (Clean/Rebuild always deletes the $(TargetPath) and thus initiates the post-build step when the status of the output is in doubt). So if we can find a compromise on that it'd be nice.
I can set it up so the post build is disabled by default and optionally enabled with an environment var. No burden on you (default is good), and others like myself can enable it without having to modify the project file settings locally.
Should I go with that plan, or any other ideas / additions?

I'm not using a debug build! It's an SSE2 build release! If it was a debug build, the name of the plugin file would be "GSDX-dbg.dll", which it's not! I'm not stupid!
RE: GSdx - dralor - 02-20-2009 08:32 PM
First of all tone he's trying to help so no need to be so confrontational and second of all no debug doesn't compile as gsdx-dbg.dll. I just built both the SSE2 Release and debug. Debug weighs in at 4.20MB while the Release is 951Kb or so. So go to build->config manager and set it to release SSE2.
RE: GSdx - montecrudo - 02-20-2009 10:08 PM
I have to apologize to everyone now. I'm sorry. I was releasing a debug build. I'm stupid.
I'll explain like this: it was all of this 'cause I was totally sure a debug build would always have the name under "GSDX-dbg.dll" instead of "GSDX.dll". Also, the plugin said "GSDX r535 (1.14, SSE2)" on the emu so, yeah, it was confusing and all.
Now this time the release weight 952 KB, so it should be fine now.
I will not bother you guys anymore. I'll be sure next time.
RE: GSdx - Funnnny - 02-20-2009 11:20 PM
Maybe you compiled the debug build, and then build Release build, VS just check the file gsdx.dll, it's still there and most recent, so it just didn't compile the release build
.Btw, I think when we choose Release SSE2, SSSE3 and SSE4, the dll file should be in different name ( like gsdx-SSE4.dll for ex )
RE: GSdx - Rusty100 - 02-21-2009 05:51 AM
I've got an i7 920, and a 3870X2. What would be the best combination of plugins and settings for me? I'm not quite sure what to use. These plugins in the OP run fine but give me a lot of graphics errors (RE-C:VX).
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 02-21-2009 09:58 AM
Air: It could be done in reverse, first let the linker output to the relative bin path and then make the script copy it to somewhere else like a "distro" folder, which could be zipped and released easily.
Funnnny: Yes, switching between builds does not automatically rebuild the dll when the output name is the same and both's files are already compiled. In my own projects I usually have $(SolutionDir)$(ConfigurationName) as the output and $(ConfigurationName) as the intermediate dir, so the different binaries of the configs are well separated but those that belong together still go to the same place, with pcsx2 it's not possible, mostly because there are many other static files it needs that are better not duplicated. This (rare) no rebuild problem is still better to me than having to switch configs all the time at two places, once in visual studio and then in pcsx2. In pcsx2 I also had to make sure the plugin settings were updated because the ini goes after the dll's name, each would have its own.

It may or may not be up your alley, but I did add to pcsx2 the option specify command-line overrides for some plugins. So in your debugger options you can add this as a command line:
-gs $(TargetPath)
That will always start Pcsx2 with the plugin matching the current build target, even if the plugin's target name is like gsdx-dbg-somehashnumber-guid.dll
(the console notifies in yellow when it's using a custom plugin override)

RE: GSdx - rama - 02-24-2009 03:46 PM
Heya Gabest,
We were wondering if you thought of adding a shader interface that can use the GPU to add some nice effects to the low res software output.
Pete had such an interface for his psx gpu plugins, and many users wrote nice shaders for it already.
If that ressource could be reused in gsdx, it'd be great.

RE: GSdx - johnseen99 - 02-25-2009 08:52 AM
Some updates for my last post about fps drop on some scene in ffx, finally i have a chance to try on Win7.
WinXP dx9:
- Summon Shiva fps drop till 13+fps
- Highroad south end, fps drop till 28+fps
Win7 dx9:
- Summon Shiva fps drop till 55+fps
- Highroad south end, fps drop till 55+fps
Win7 dx10:
- Summon Shiva fps ~59 fps
Seeing the different of performance on dx9, I wonder if this is due to the OS or ATI driver problem?
RE: GSdx - LuisR14 - 02-25-2009 08:54 AM
it's none, just that windows 7 (and windows vista) are more optimized to run dx9.
(correct me anybody if i'm wrong)
RE: GSdx - johnseen99 - 02-25-2009 09:59 AM
I think GSDX is using unified shader for dx9 too. If that is the case it could means that dx9 on Win7/Vista has better advantage on unified shaders than dx9 on WinXP?

Hi, Gabest.
I have found a bug in GSdx 0.1.14/SSSE3. PCSX2 r612 + SCPH50003 bios (Europe, V2.0):
1. Move *.MEC and *.NVM files from BIOS folder to other folder.
2. Use Direct3D9 Hardware Renderer
3. Run BIOS
4. It will crash before PlayStation logo
First way to fix:
5. Change renderer to Direcr3D9 Software.
6. Run BIOS
7. Make system configuration
8. Close PCSX2, run again and change renderer to Direct3D9 Hardware
9. Run BIOS
10. All is OK
Second way:
5. Move back *.MEC and *.NVM files to BIOS folder
6. Run BIOS (Renderer is still Direct3D9 Hardware)
7. All is OK
=)

Totally wrong!
Who told you that?
This is a plain old garbage texture as caused by a gsdx bug.
Software rendering fixes it.

It is interesting that there are little bit more utilization (speed up) in software mode on many cores cpu by splitting simple for loop into little threads using OpenMP.
required to tell in compiler to enabled openmp, otherwise you won't see the different.

That's a good point, think i'm going to play around with that as well. Being that I use software renderer most of the time now due to compatibility.
I recently started playing with ICC/Vtune/ThreadProfiler etc... to use on pcsx2 and I wonder if this option in VC with ICC is doing the same thing your openMp defines are.
RE: GSdx - johnseen99 - 03-02-2009 12:47 PM
ICC has the OpenMP library, but i'm not sure if that option means enabling OpenMP
Here is one interesting quote from ICC site:
"High-Performance Parallel Optimizer (HPO) restructures and optimizes loops to ensure that auto-vectorization, OpenMP, or auto-parallelization make best use of cache and memory accesses, SIMD instruction sets, and multiple cores. Compiles in a single pass, improving compile-time and producing more reliable code. "

Lookin in the helpfile I found this, it seems they are similar but apparently it doesn't have to use openmp; but it Can use both simultaneouslly. I could be misinterpreting this however.
Quote:-openmp
/Qopenmp
This option enables the parallelizer to generate multi-threaded code based on the OpenMP* directives. The code can be executed in parallel on both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems.
Quote:Auto-parallelization, which is triggered by the -parallel (Linux* OS and Mac OS* X) or /Qparallel (Windows* OS) option, automatically identifies those loop structures that contain parallelism. During compilation, the compiler automatically attempts to deconstruct the code sequences into separate threads for parallel processing. No other effort by the programmer is needed.
Quote:When both -openmp and -parallel (Linux OS and Mac OS X) or /Qopenmp and /Qparallel (Windows OS) are specified on the command line, the parallel option is only applied in loop nests that do not have OpenMP directives. For loop nests with OpenMP directives, only the openmp option is applied.
Very interesting stuff though.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 03-02-2009 05:49 PM
Vectorization uses sse in loops, quite limited to the most simple things, it's a bonus for those who do not even care about optimization on their own. MSVC also supports openmp, but syncronization with os primitives is out of question on that micro level that scanline drawing runs, context switching would be too slow there, up to 4 ms (there is 15-30 ms for the whole frame).
RE: GSdx - Sephious - 03-03-2009 01:14 AM
I'm having graphical issues with faces in FFXII with GSdx under DirectX10 hardware. It doesn't happen in DirectX9 hardware, nor does it happen without texture filtering enabled.
I also tried the latest version of the separate GSdx10 and that works fine, even with texture filtering enabled. I've attached two shots. The first is of the problem and the second is GSdx10 displaying everything fine.
Both plugins are using the same settings (16x9, no interlacing, 1280x1280 internal resolution, texture filtering enabled).

RE: GSdx - Kein - 03-04-2009 12:31 PM
Oh wait, Gabest, I found another way to fix (well, it is not a fix actually but solution) these problems (and many others). How about implementing two features which allow users to do two things:
1. Change D3D internal res. on the fly via button just like in ZroGS (F6-F7 for i.e). Multiplier can be customizable or fixed, doesn't matter actually.
2. Change related render into software mode. For example: if you're using Direct3D9 [hardware], you can quickly change it into Direct3D9 [software] (via F8 for i.e.), same for DX10. I guess such features will be very useful, actually, many users in our russian community asked about that earlier, but we all know, you don't accept any feature requests >_>
RE: GSdx - lightchris - 03-04-2009 12:57 PM

Is there any way to exit PCSX2 properly when using GSdx with D3D9 in fullscreen? For me, even the "Escape Hack" of PCSX2 doesn't work, the only way to get out is pressing Alt+F4 and then the windows-key. Otherwise the gamescreen will always stay in the foreground.
RE: GSdx - Trigun - 03-04-2009 01:43 PM

Something really wrong with Prince of Persia: Warrior Within [SLUS-21022], if I try load game using Hardware DX9/DX10 modes after loading screen PCSX2 goes black screen, very lags. I noticed strange my hard disk activity (after game loaded) and my PC slow as hell.
RE: GSdx - ChickenLiver - 03-07-2009 11:29 PM
The "Hide on fullscreen exit"/"Safe Fullscreen exit on escape" hack in LilyPad (Renamed the option in the SVN to be a bit clearer) is aimed at fixing a GSDX bug that causes you to get stuck in fullscreen mode when you press escape in fullscreen mode. Apparently this bug was fixed in GSDX with DX9, but the fix made my hack cause the issue it was meant to prevent, or something similar to it, at least, when using GSDX+DX9. The hack is still useful in DX10 mode, which still has the bug. Believe it's also useful with ZeroGS.
RE: GSdx - Cain - 03-09-2009 10:17 AM
Hey
I'd 'like' to report a probable GSDX bug. The reason I think it's GSDX because no matter how I tried I couldn't reproduce it with ZEROGS.The bug occured with FFXII, KH2, Tower of Druaga ever since the pcsx 0.6.0 release.
The problem: in versions before the current beta svn build, after some minutes of playing (20-30) the whole system would freeze for a few seconds (5-10 sec) and then continue as normal, but the whole PCSX2 screen would turn into garbage. Like several fast changin' big squares with parts of textures on them. With the currently posted snv beta build of the plugin it's become a bit better: screen isn't totally garbage now, but different on screen objects go bad - start to flicker fast, get stretched in different directions, disappear and such.
Specs:
CORE2DUO E6400 OCed to 3GHZ
3GBRAM
GF 8800GT 1GB
GSDX Conf SSE2 (ssse3 crashes on me for some reason):
Windowed
D3D9 Hardware
Pixel Shader 2.0 (3.0 tends to crash from time to time...)
Interlacing None
Aspect: 4:3
D3D internal 1024x1024 (changing it to lower doesn't change anything)
NLOOP hack grayed
Textire Filtering on
everything else is off
Perhaps you'd look into it. Thanks
RE: GSdx - Gentleman - 03-09-2009 10:23 AM
Try to turn Logarithmic Z and Alpha Correction(FBA) ON, and tick the NLOOP hack with the black mark, not the grayed mark. See if that works.

No, that's just a bug of some kind.
Either the game or GSdx constantly shift the horizontal resolution.
Fixing the upscaler to 640 pixels gets rid of that.

RE: GSdx - dralor - 03-10-2009 08:28 PM
Well it's still an upscaling thing whether it's a bug or the a gamefeature. it only happens when upscaling past a certain point so for now you need only to upscale to the point you have or let it sit on native.

Will do that later, it's just not easy to find a place where I could output the vertices without any performance loss. Small triangles are filtered out very early. Maybe I'll just compile a separate build.

Performance isn't an issue in the slightest for me, it's not how fast it's going, just that it's there.

Hi,
Playing Dragon Quest VIII, UK version, on win XP.
I get a orangish/yellow screen during a certain cutscene. Can't really see anything, though I can still hear characters talking, and can advance by pressing x to cycle dialogue. This is in D3D9 hardware mode. I think this is because in this specific cutscene(cutscenes in this game looks the same as when you're in control), everything is yellow or black when played on the PS2, as it's conveying the past, so it's probably using some kind of filter or somesuch.
I have also tried it in windows seven, d3d10 hardware mode, same problem.
It works fine in D3D9/10 software mode, albeit somewhat slowly. ^_^

This is for GT4 NTSC only in 480p mode
Bug report (those you cannot go around at that moment):
- No car reflection (try SW mode and see the difference)
- No road reflection (try SW mode and see the difference)
- Lights kills the framerate
- Blinking lights (on night tracks such as opera or hong kong you can see light blinking weirdly)
- Issue about the way circle items turn (wheels, loading menu animation, looks fine in software mode) => the center isn't fixed
Feel free to ask me any questions about the game. Thx you for your time
from all Gt4 fansBTW => software mode on latest releases showed outstanding improvements!!!!

RE: GSdx - battleaxe - 03-16-2009 08:53 AM
Hey i have a problem with suikoden tactics. It works fine in directx 9 software mode, albeit a bit slow, but in directx 9 hardware mode there is a transparent brown bar on the right side of the screen, and in battle the white fog of war that appears when issuing a move command is much thicker than normal (i.e. than in software mode). You can barely see through it, when you should be able to.
I've read on another forum that there used to be a brown bar on the right side of the screen issue before, then went away, and apparently it is back...
in directx 10 hardware, the entire screen is covered with the same brown fog that is semi transparent, so you can sorta see through it but the game is not really playable like that.
I would attach a gs file but unfortunately pressing shift-f8 does nothing, no new info in console and nothing in the snaps folder...
any idea if there is a way to fix this ?

Quote:Please read this thread http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-2446-page-2.html before release the new gsdx version. That game also can't work on Latest PCSX2 SVN & GSDX 0.1.14.My problem is different. When I'm trying to lunch any game with GSdx 0.1.14 or even GSdx 0.1.4 plugin with DirectD3D10 renderer(hardware or software)(and all games I have wont work with DirectD3D10 renderer but are working fine with DirectD3D9 renderer) the emulator crash, I mean Windows(Vista or 7 beta[on Windows 7beta DirectD3D9 works fine too]) shows error wich says "The program has stopped working" And I can only choose between "Look for solution online", or "Close the program", but what's strange that when I use older GSdx plugins, like GSdx10 0.1.4 or GSdx10 0.1.3, all works fine but for example God of War has green lines all over the screen so the game isn't really playable, but the emulator doesn't crash. It happens only with newest GSdx where DX10 and DX9 rendering modes are in one single plugin.
Like I said earlier my specs are: Core 2 Duo E7200 @ 2.5GHz, GeForce 9600GT 512MB(wich supports DirectX10), 2GB of Ram.
Does anyone knows the solution?

Hello,
First congratulations for your plugin !
I am able to play DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 !
It's fully playable with GSDX10 0.1.14 Hardware SSE3 with MTGS but I have two bugs.
First, the picture is winking, as if gamma was continuously changing.
Secondly, I can't use Full Screen. It's a little problem because I lose performances (I have slowdowns) but it remains faster than GSDX9 or ZeroGS.
My config : Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.42 ghz
Ati Radeon HD3870 512 mo
4x1go DDR-800 Crucial Ballistix @ 950 Mhz
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2
Gigabyte P35-DS3R
Windows Vista Ultimate x64
What can I do ?

RE: GSdx - BobHop - 03-19-2009 05:25 PM
Hi everyone, I was just wondering why it seems one can't ever capture 3D geometry from PCSX2, for instance with 3D Ripper DX (or GLIntercept) ?
I've been trying to do so since a long time, starting with ePSXe and ending with PCSX2. I've tried it all : ePSXe + D3D GPU plugin + D3D capture tool, ePSXe + OGL GPU plugin + OGL capture tool, PCSX2 + D3D GPU plugin + D3D capture tool, PCSX2 + OGL GPU plugin + OGL capture tool... None of these combinations have worked.
Textures aren't a problem and they almost always got captured correctly, but 3D geometry seems to always fail. I thought it would be easier with PCSX2, being a "modern" emulator (as opposed to the aging ePSXe), but it didn't help.Can anyone come up with any theory to explain this ? It seems weird to me that such 3D capture tools work fine with native D3D/OGL apps, while they don't seem to find anything 3D in an emu. ('-' )?
PS : I'm sorry if this seems a bit off-topic ; however GSdx is the most recent and advanced GPU plugin for PCSX2, and I think the answer can only come from knowledgeable people like those who post in here.
RE: GSdx - LORD MJ - 03-19-2009 10:18 PM
Don’t know have you did this on purpose or not,but Code Lyoko Quest for Infinity has much better menus with the latest beta of PCSX2 and your new version of this incredible plugin.
Graphic still gets messed up in game,but that doesn’t annoy me at all.
Also I think that the game is running much faster now.

GSdx10 0.1.4 seems immune to this problem. GSdx 0.1.4 suffers somewhat, and GSdx 0.1.5-0.1.14 suffers the most. How is GSdx10 0.1.4 compiled differently from GSdx 0.1.4 (aside from omitting the dx9 components), and could such a "GSdx10 0.1.14" also be compiled?

I got this weird weather issue (?) here as well. My God of War is buggy. There's always this weird fog all around when I play the game... I'm using r825 here.
Dragon Ball Z Sparking Meteor (Tenkaichi 3) also has the same "fog" transparency fog in the scenarios... It's really annoying
Graphical glitches in other games as well such as Final Fantasy X International (look at that hair...). Maybe it's all due to my lack of SSE4 instructions? (Q6600)
Using the latest GSdx DX10 r826... with SSSE3. Tried the latest stable releases of GSdx as well.
RE: GSdx - Dave-Mastor - 03-21-2009 12:41 AM
Yeah, I know the Jak games have always had graphical problems quite like that first picture; back when they still worked with the emulator. It's like some weird shading issue. I don't think it's related specifically to GSdx though, as the problem persists in ZeroGS if I remember correctly.

Hey Gabest, is there anything in the pipeline as far as major architecture changes go or will it just be incremental updates to the current codebase?
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 03-21-2009 03:21 AM
Merging dx9 and dx10 code into dx11 is one of those things I want to do, but CreateVertexShader still crashes with sm 3.0- code, which otherwise is complietly fine for fxc.exe. Maybe the next sdk update will solve it. I'm curious whether it will run under xp.
Another one is page based texture caching similar to what the software renderer uses now, that would finally solve syncing problems between the emulated vram and the gpu ram. It is just a bit harder to implement for d3d since it has to be two way, updating the gpu buffers is not enough, rendered data must be read back sometimes or directly transfered to textures as a shortcut, throw in upscaling and the many restrictions on how depth buffers can be accessed and your head will explode.

RE: GSdx - LeSharK - 03-22-2009 10:16 AM
in Street Fighter Alpha Anniversary collection i get corrupted graphics and very low framerate using any GSdx version with Direct3D9 (hardware) (regardless of any additional settings)
http://img403.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sfa2g.jpg
the graphics problem is solved with Direct3D9 (software), but the framerate problem remains (even in static screens showing text on a black background).
note: the disc starts with a game selection menu which runs @ 60fps, but after selecting game the framerate drops instantly. this may be a specific bug for this collection related to the way the games are launched/executed from that menu.
i can run other 2D games at solid 60fps (Guilty Gear, KOF 98/2002, MVC2, CVS2).

Beyond Good & Evil has this odd looking bug on both dx9 and dx10 hardware mode, some stuff is visible but other stuff is just black. It's mostly visible in the intro, where you can see a bird flying on sky and some kind of tree shapes, and other seemingly random things, but a lot of it is just black. It's almost like there is a layer somewhere there that obscures certain objects for whatever reason. Maybe it's a source of light or something that is all black. Anyways, software mode seems to render it fine. Slow but fine.
Gameplay probably suffers from the same thing, but you can't actually see anything 3D in it. 2D overlay or whatever, HUD and things, work fine though.
Man I wish I had the juice to run the software mode. So close to playing this again, yet so far.
RE: GSdx - Archer Mac - 03-23-2009 09:43 PM
Since the recent revisons there were some "blur fixes" and it really helps in Persona 4 and other games but is there any way to fix the rainbow colored flickering floor bug in P4?
In the very old "GSdx 0.1.4" in dx10 mode it's a LOT more tolerable since it's a little grayish layer,it's not flickering and not very noticable.In dx9 there are some overall shadow problems but still no flickering at all...
All in all
Blur+no epileptic flickering>sharpness+epileptic flickering over most part of the screen.

VGA Card from ATI like HD4870x2 is the best than Nvidia GTX295 for the real gaming now.
I hope Gabest should trying build a plugin GsdX with Dx10.1 feature. Maybe will improvement the quality image.
10.1 is nothing more than a few minor differences and render changes. It's extremely minor and I doubt it would make a difference with PS2 emulation.

Any DX10 card with a high amount of dedicated VRAM. For nvidia, the more stream processors the better. Not sure about ATI. I highly recommend the nVidia 9800 GTX by either XFX or EVGA. Processor is the biggest hurdle, though. If you don't have a newer gen processor (i.e. top end dual core or q6600 or higher quad core) with at least the SSSE3 instruction sets, you will not get good speeds.

evil flickering LSD effect on the floor is gone now. There are a few textures that flicker at times during speech sequences but nothing major.
RE: GSdx - Matis - 03-25-2009 01:08 AM
Tales of the Abyss(CRC=14fe77f7) has quite an interesting problem if you up it's internal resolution. Doing so creates displaced phantom versions of characters and certain things(such as Save Points). I've played around with the options and I'm pretty sure that it happens only when you tinker with the internal resolution of the game.
I don't know whether it has been reported already or not, but hope it helps anyway. Should you need any more info, please ask.

RE: GSdx - Gabest - 03-26-2009 11:31 AM
Does anyone here still run XP and has a dx9-level card? I wonder if I convert everything to use the dx11 api, will it run there. Attached a little test program, it needs the latest dx runtime I guess. Also, who runs vista but only has dx9-level card should test it too!
It just draws a 640x480 rectangle
RE: GSdx - KrazyTrumpeter05 - 03-26-2009 11:47 AM
Speaking of DX11...is that something I will have to upgrade to Windows 7 for? Or will it mostly be a software/gfx card thing like switch from DX8 to DX9 in WinXP?
RE: GSdx - kabooz - 03-26-2009 11:52 AM
they (microsoft) say it works on vista too xD (also some parts work with dx10 cards)
@gabest works here vista + dx10 card
have you already tried compute shader 4.0 ? I tried the sample but it said I don't have compatible hardware Oo
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 03-26-2009 12:09 PM
Just tried it on my other machine, vista and no developement tools, the dx runtime installer won't copy the dx11 beta dlls on it. So, it's only for those who have the full sdk. Still, I'm not sure if xp gets these dlls with the sdk. I hope it does, targetting dx9 should not need vista.
kabooz:
D3D11_FEATURE_DATA_D3D10_X_HARDWARE_OPTIONS options;
hr = device->CheckFeatureSupport(D3D11_FEATURE_D3D10_X_HARDWARE_OPTIONS, &options, sizeof(D3D11_FEATURE_D3D10_X_HARDWARE_OPTIONS));
options.ComputeShaders_Plus_RawAndStructuredBuffers_Via_Shader_4_x => 0
We have to wait for new drivers...
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 03-26-2009 01:49 PM
No dx11 dlls on xp after installing the sdk, that's kinda sad. Would have been too easy to write one renderer for dx11 and scale it down to dx9/dx10...
RE: GSdx - Xelinis - 03-26-2009 02:33 PM
I've been testing out Shadow Hearts and I'm glad to report that the stripes are finally gone with DX9 Software. This was still a massive issue for me even before the Playground merge. However, battle scenes still slow down immensely due to heavy reliance on particles. Switching to either of the hardware modes nullifies the slowdown and provides perfect picture in battles.

It won't really fix anything, it just prints the ip addresses between you and the other machine you specify. Start cmd and run tracert microsoft.com, for example. I was just surprised to see an address from the private range, it might be perfectly alright, I'm not an expert in this area

RE: GSdx - Gabest - 03-27-2009 01:26 PM
Can't do that. The swizzled memory makes it impossible. It's not that I wasn't thinking about it, each pixel could be supersampled and duplicated into multiple video memory buffers, at 2x2, where the upper left pixel is the original, the other pixels were renderer into three other buffers, but if the render target was reused as a texture in who-knows-what pixel format, which happens frequently, I'd have to throw away the extra resolution. PS1 was much easier to hack, there is only one pixel format and no swizzling.
RE: GSdx - rama - 03-27-2009 01:36 PM
Well, there is still the option of post process shaders in .fx format.
A nice HQ3x or simelar could significantly enhance the output.

Attached an old patch for gsdx9, that had this interface included.

Does anybody else have flickering floor textures with GSdx 890 (PCSX 0.9.6) and GSdx 834 (latest from SVN, March 22nd I think?) and Persona 4? I also get pretty extreme slowdown during the initial fog battles of the game.
Also, why does the GSdx SVN build have a lower number (834) than the 0.9.6 release (890)?

Because they're (were) independent projects. Only recently has GSdx source moved into the PCSX2 tree, and before that, it had its own tree and hence its own incremental versions and builds. You don't really need to worry about GSdx/PCSX2 versions, but rather the verions of both projects separately.

Well, at least I'm not a fan of HQnx.. might be nice on some old SNES games (and even there I generally like the TV output better..), but on PS2 games? Imo it destroys a bit of the artwork or the looks which the devs/designers intended.
Same goes for other post-processing effects like blooming.
The only things which makes games look objectively better is enhancing the resolution or adding AA and AF.
RE: GSdx - rama - 03-27-2009 05:04 PM
lightchris:
Yeah, its debatable whether upsampling filters look good or bad, or if it represents what the designer meant to show.
One thing I know for sure though: No ps2 gamedev wanted to make his game in ultra low res. GS limitations forced them to.
So, by using these optional shaders, a lot of really shitty looking games can be brushed up a bit.
Sure it looks kinda artificial, but at least you can see something!
RE: GSdx - kabooz - 03-27-2009 06:03 PM

Most filters can be implemented on the GPU. Most of the work in fact is designing the lookup textures.

Nice!! It looks like the latest SVN (r841) fixes the Persona 4 rainbow floor issue and I do NOT have to enable the special game fix.
Also, as a side note, Dark Cloud 2 now seems to be working and display text inside text boxes with GSdx. (this is with PCSX r849)

Okay; I'd like to give an update on my question re: D3D10. I decided to give Windows 7 a try, and there seems to be a pretty significant difference in performance with D3D10 vs. D3D9. For instance, in Tales of the Abyss spots where the framerate would dip as low as 40fps (or worse) with an internal res of 768x768 now stay above 90 with an internal res of 1024x1024. Crazy!
RE: GSdx - Prott - 03-30-2009 12:11 PM

SW: all this mess on HW it looks normal on SW but still has some texture bugs ship's textures and charachter's shadow it's like in the Shadow of Colossus in HW*this bugs are for both HW and SW*
Some of textures on the eyes for example starting to show in HW after doble press F9 but in never renders from the start
here's the screens
RE: GSdx - Dave-Mastor - 03-31-2009 12:11 AM
They've had that problem for as long as I could get the emulator to work... which has been a while. Sometime on eye on the character will work, most of the time, neither. The good thing is the UI seems to work properly now, which it didn't before. I can get Jak II to run at just under 60FPS in all but the most crowded scenes, which is a lot better than before it stopped working in 9.6. I'm glad GSdx fixed at least some of the problems

RE: GSdx - ChickenLiver - 04-01-2009 06:14 PM
Wonderland: If you're using an older version of LilyPad, update it. GSDX used to get keyboard input from PCSX2 itself, which gets it from the pad plugin. At some point (1.13?) GSDX changed that, and started reading keyboard input directly. This broke compatibility with LilyPad, which disabled keyboard messages other than the ones it was reading. At some point, I modified newer versions of LilyPad to stop doing that, to work with newer versions for GSDX.

Yes indeed. It's where my gsdx 1.12 snaps go. But nothing with 1.14 and 9.11 still.
I'm using 0.9.6, that's supported right?
Also, now when I press F8 with 1.12 it takes 2 screens of the same thing. Might that have something to do with the problem? And even if not, why is that and how might I fix that?
RE: GSdx - LuisR14 - 04-02-2009 08:16 AM
hmm i'm perfectly able to take snaps (and i'm using the latest beta, latest gsdx beta, and latest lilypad beta
), but i also have been able to do it with the config you have. make sure you have both pad options in config->configure set to lilypad
EDIT: yep just tested it using gsdx 0.1.14, lilypad 0.9.11, and pcsx2 0.9.6 and here's the result i got.

This is insanity. Luis has been trying to help figure out what the problem is for the past hour with me at a live stream/chat where I'm showing him my pcsx2. We've been going over configs, with him using the same as me and successfully taking screens, while I still can't.

Question regarding software vs. hardware mode - is the difference in rendering accuracy (namely software being more accurate) because some aspects are difficult to render properly in hardware d3d?
RE: GSdx - Bositman - 04-02-2009 01:30 PM
Quote:By selecting "Direct3D9 (software)" GSdx will use its' built-in software renderer,which will not use your graphics card at all,but your processor instead.This way the emulation speed is greatly reduced but you get maximum compatibility.Recommended if you encounter graphics bugs with the Direct3D renderer.From http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-2298.html#Gfx.

Hi every one here's some nice info
I've made the patch which fixes
GoW wall of fog, GoW2 greenscreen, slowdowns in Okami at hi iternal rsolution, it also fixes Killzone lines on screen, *but it would be better fix if you change number from line 2159 of GSState.cpp from 3 to 2 it would be more accurate but 2 is unacceptable by GoWs
There is some anoter info the GSState.cpp natively tries to fix GoW2 by the GoW1 fix, i tested and now i knew that GoW2 absolutely doesn't use it, it requaires personal fix

if(sy < dy) sy += h-1, dy += h-1, yinc = -1;
InvalidateLocalMem(m_env.BITBLTBUF, CRect(CPoint(sx, sy), CSize(w, h)));

Hi!, Im new here, and I got only 1 question,
Playing FFXII on this rig:
E7200@3.2, Ati 4850 4gbs ram 800mhz
With LATEST GSDX plugin and 0.9.6 rev of emu, Im getting 45 fsp on the frist tutorial screen, using 1280x1024 resolution, if I use 1024x768 resolution the FPS increase to 60, and my question is.. is this caused cuz my weak videocard?
Thx.
(Tryied all kind of configuration, nothing changes)
RE: GSdx - Bositman - 04-03-2009 06:32 PM
Yes,if turning down the internal resolution gives you an FPS boost,it means you are GPU limited.

Thx for the answer.
My videocard is a Ati 4850... isn't powerful enough to run FFXII at 60fps with a better resolution than 1024x768?
:confused:
It's maybe a Ati issue or something?, cuz I know ppl who get better results with a 8800gt...
Thx.
RE: GSdx - dralor - 04-03-2009 08:30 PM
Yeah it's an ATI issue or more specifically it's an issue with some of the routines gabest wrote not working well for ATI cards. However since gabest doesn't have an ATI card he has no way of knowing this and thus fixing it if it can be fixed. Things like this is why ATI and Nvidia tend to work pretty closely with large game companies. They like to make sure that the performance is equal and they aren't getting hurt because the developer didn't have access to their cards to test on.
RE: GSdx - Artemix - 04-03-2009 09:10 PM
In other words... next buy will be a GTX nVidia card

Anyways, isn't that awful play it at 1024x768 and I get full speed in almost all scenarios.

)
RE: GSdx - Nneeve - 04-04-2009 12:44 AM
Gabest, there seems to be some sort of corruption going on in Shadow hearts (1):
In most battles (such as the first battle), transformation sequences of your character cannot be seen (even in software). However, if you press F9 in the middle or save/load a savestate or something like that, the transformation continues fine.
EDIT:
Happens with latest r887 (and older).
Here's a gs dump:

Of course, it looks fine through the dump viewer, but if you get to that point normally - the screen is black.

RE: GSdx - elite - 04-04-2009 01:04 PM
Hello Gabest and all of u. Maybe I found problem regarding bright screens etc.. here is my story:
I tried Genji:dawn of the samurai today on latest 0.9.6. Already on first game scene, picture is bright - foggy like. Of course I tried all options in "advanced" "speed" etc.. I tried your plugin with DX10 and DX9, with native res, with + without nloop, without texture filtering etc... nothing.
Then I tried ZeroGS plugin - same foggy, BUT there was an option "full 16bit resolution" and gues what, it made it. Game crash after few sec. with ZeroGS but anyway. Now, am not sure if it means resolution or color depth, anyway here is my 2 cents for u. That option helped and could help with other games. Gsxd doesnt have option for color depth - but am not sure if thats what that option meant. And sorry if it was usseless.
Also, is there any chance u could port this plugin to Dolphin emulator? I ask because DirectX api is always same but I dont know if there is a lot of code very specific for PCSX2 that would be hell to change for Dolphin.
In any way, thank u for your effort, today your plugin is nearly as important as pcsx2 itself. Hope my info help u somehow, regards.

In my case, the game only work good with te native resolution, if I changue this,

RE: GSdx - sofakng - 04-06-2009 04:26 PM
I have a quick feature request...
Would it be possible (easy?) to implement a hot-key that would toggle between native resolution and your selected resolution?
This way when playing a game that requires native resolution for FMVs you could just hit the hot-key, watch the FMV, and then hit it again to go back to your selected resolution.
Also, should the currently selected save state number be displayed in the title bar? I don't think it's working properly...
RE: GSdx - Bositman - 04-06-2009 04:29 PM

RE: GSdx - sofakng - 04-06-2009 06:21 PM
Ahh, OK. Thanks.
I've actually gotten my native-resolution toggle half-working. (eg. I've implemented the hot-key toggle) but simply changing m_nativeres isn't enough.
Gabest: Do I have to reset the device somehow? If so, could you by chance tell me how to do that? ...or maybe in the main rendering loop it would need to see if it changed (which might be beyond my moderate programming skills).
GSdx Blur - Venatyr - 04-07-2009 04:32 AM
Forgive me if this is answered somewhere deep in this thread...
With GSdx 0.1.14 revision 841, the full-screen blur in Persona 3 is gone and the game looks nice and sharp.
With GSdx 0.1.14 revision 896, the full-screen blur is back, and I can't determine how to disable it.
From what I understand, this blur is specific to certain games - and is a cheap attempt at anti-aliasing on the PS2 hardware - is that correct?
And, with revision 841, Gabest attempted to detect this blur and remove it - succeeding with that revision, but somehow this is reverted with the latest SVN.
Does anybody have any feedback on this?
Thanks.

If you really do have the newest DX then for:
GSdx 0.1.14 you must have inside your C:\WINDOWS\system32 those files d3dx9_40.dll and d3dx10_40.dll
And for the newest revision you must have there d3dx9_41.dll and d3dx10_41.dll
If you don't have those files there depending on which GSdx version you use(newest official or revision)then that means you don't have the newest directx

Right now i'm playing around with Nvidia's 3D Stereo feature (old Shutterglasses, not 3D Vision)
It works fine with most PC games, but not with GSdx.
The Problem is the D3D Z-Depth of GSdx is too low, models and levels looking flat like pancakes.
Is there a way to increase the Z-Depth to use 3D Stereo?
An option would be nice to toggle the correct z-depth, or ingame via hotkey (CTRL+T, this is also the hotkey to toggle 3D Stereo)

and save it as Test.bat in the same directory. Then you just drag gs files onto it and it'll handle the command line stuff for you. It's much easier that way.

Change the internal resolution you are using, this is the cause of the black stripes.
RE: GSdx - sarahandkevin - 04-09-2009 02:56 PM
internal res is 1024 1024, what should i change it to?
also, there is a bit of lag when playing tekken tag
is there a way to get full screen?
RE: GSdx - VeaaC - 04-09-2009 03:22 PM
Check "native resolution".
Alt+Enter enters fullscreen
RE: GSdx - sarahandkevin - 04-09-2009 04:16 PM
thank you
only thing now is the game lags a bit, i have tried 1.5x cycle rate in speed hacks and that makes it go a bit too fast and also makes the game voice go too fast i think, i also i think it makes other games too fast
what can i do to fix this
thank you
also the intro movie on tekken tag does not look good, can i disable it?
thanks
RE: GSdx - VeaaC - 04-09-2009 04:27 PM
As this is a GSdx thread, you should maybe open a new thread or try searching the forums / reading the FAQ.
Regarding your speed problem: Enable frame limiting in the CPU settings. That way the game never runs too fast.
RE: GSdx - sarahandkevin - 04-09-2009 05:07 PM
what about game audio being too fast?
im using spu2-x
RE: GSdx - LuisR14 - 04-09-2009 11:34 PM
the frame limiting should take care of that.
RE: GSdx - dralor - 04-10-2009 05:29 AM
Oh gabest you should just do a dummy update so once and for all people are no longer confused by the version numbers.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 04-10-2009 09:14 AM
done
RE: GSdx - Maestro - 04-10-2009 12:35 PM
software is more accurate in emulating the GS, but uses the CPU instead of the GPU. That is just a problem from upscaling. It might be caused by the fact that PS2 can do fake AA. The games that utilize this might cause a sort of ghosting because of how it is handled in the GS. Other than that it is just an accuracy problem like I stated.

to

Hi gabest.
Your plugins are good, but fail with respect to Direct3D10. In Direct3d9 everything works well, but in Direct3d10 is faster, but got errors.
In Gran Turismo 4, when a person leaves the race and to come back, or else you will see the replays, appears, type square.
I think you can fix that, so we can enjoy the fastest games in Direct3d10.
Thanks.

Hi gabest and everybody.
I was here during the afternoon to test the Gran Turismo 4, and among many who did, (in Direct3d9, because 10 dont work), i tested all the circuits and these were the results : all circuits to give play, some slower, some faster, but they play, only one it is impossible to play "George V", the car is very, very slow and unsynchronized with the sound speed.
I do not know if they have been working on a new plugin, but if this help solve some problems, here is my test.
Thanks and good work.
P.S. I think it's graphical issues, despite I have a Nvidia 8800GT TOP, many lights on, including the car.
RE: GSdx - Thundas - 04-12-2009 03:14 AM
Just want to say with the latest GSDX I had gotten a 10% FPS boost in software mode in some games.
I was playing Shadow hearts 2 with software mode on 1.1.4 and i got about a 30-36 FPS rate. Now with the latest GSDX 1.1.5 software mode my FPS goes any where from 40-50 FPS!
I have a 8800GT, Q6600 2.4, 3 Gigs of ddr2 ram
So you can see this latest GSDX is a HUGE improvement.
keep up the good work guys

GSState.cpp

Is there any supported Gsdx version yet that can disable the fog in Gow 1 directx 9?
In the supported PCSX2 rev 956 with the supported GSdx- 0.1.15 r952 there is still fog in directx 9. I guess there is no supported Gsdx version yet that disables the fog thing.

that only might help a few GS limited games.
pcsx2 just need better VU recompilers first.
@gabest:
i think i know why it doesn't display anything.
The Visiblity is limited or something, so if you stretch the mesh to its full length, its not in the visible range anymore.
Thats the only possible theory.
i could fix this if i just know how to increase the visiblity.

That seems to be a common thing with games that overlay a bloom layer on top of the geometry. They are all shifted up and to the left if you don't use native internal resolution.
RE: GSdx - Nexxxus - 04-14-2009 09:06 PM

Yet it also happens when you manually select the native internal resolution. According to GSdx the native resolution of GoW2 PAL ist 512*512. However the image outcome is very different. There's not only this ghost effect but the image is very blurry.

RE: GSdx - mrvomit - 04-16-2009 01:14 PM
hallo 2 little question:
--For ss2 version,i notice the last is recognized as r952 by Pxsx2 ,and not r962 ,is it right ?
--For a Specific GAME:Budokai tenkaichi 3
where gsdx ss2 causea a lot of black flashes ,i did read that older version 1.5 solves that,though at the cost of really slower frames.
There is a past beta of gsdx who shows a good compromise (no flashes and decent frame speed)?_
Or a combination of settings /beta plugin?
Because i notice that if i switch from 1.5 to other,and then revert back to 1.5 ,"black flashes problem" is present in 1.5 too,and to get rid of i have to install afresh copy of pcsx2 everytime ,meaning that switching gsdx is not always a Clear Comparation.
My apologies if i said/asked something wrong ,and thanks^^

Quote:dl'ed the latest GSdx svn and saw 2 new options compared to my prev one (890 I think) - edge AA and 'output merger blur effect' .. can anyone briefly explain what they do and when it's ok to enable them .. or where I can read about em in a FAQ ?
RE: GSdx - rama - 04-16-2009 05:17 PM
The blur effect option is best kept off, it re-enables an "effect" some games (like persona4) use to blur the output image a bit. Looks bad..
Edge AA is a software rendering only effect, it's a feature the GS supports. Some games use it to apply some mild anti aliasing to polygons.

So now that the Persona flashing floors bug is fixed (hooray!), is there any word on if the missing/z-fighting on floor and wall textures is fixable? Outside of FPS issues, this is the only major graphical bug still present in Persona 3 FES that mars my enjoyment of the game.
Otherwise, it runs and looks great, thank you so much for all the hard work!
Screenshot enclosed of the bug I'm referring to - if anyone knows of a way to fix this with GSdx9 (Can't use 10, I'm on XP), let me know.

Extra annoying double bonus - I have a DX10 GPU in this computer (8800 GTS), however I can't install Vista as this is my work computer (I work at a game company, and I like to play games on my lunch break), so I'm pretty much stuck with DX9 forever. Hence the reason I'd love to see this fixed in DX9 (or see an OGL plugin get speedy enough to run as fast as GSdx, but that might be a while, since GSdx is so fast compared to the competition)

» Rectangles that appear in Direct3d10 in racing and replays.

RE: GSdx - Fr33m4n - 04-17-2009 10:50 PM
I just downloaded the latest r997 and tried it with FFX. Compared to the last build I used (r952) the game now appears very laggy even though it is running full speed at 60fps. This holds true for both software and hardware rendering.
The FMV's also behave in a different manner. Previously the FMVs would flicker in an unwatchable manner. Now they flicker slightly faster makig it almost possible to make out what the FMV is showing. It's nowhere near watchable though :-(
On a positive note. The game is displaying the fewest graphical glitches yet, and new effects that were previously not visible are now visible.

Here's some more screen shots about the problem with the newest r997 and INTC Sync Hack becoming useless.
The games are Atelier Iris 1,2,3 and Ar Tonelico 1,2 and the screens are r962 with higher fps and r997 with lower.Everything is set to default except that only INTC is enabled.
The games really are running that fast/slow,its not false reading on the fps.

No they're not(I know that someone will say something like that).When I do something(like entering the menus)the speed goes below 50(30-40).
The screens are taken like this.Start the game,load the state with r962 and see what fps I get,then press Esc,change the plugin to r997 and start the game again from Run=>Execute.And to avoid this answer,I did tried to start the game with r997 already selected
Edit:I have absolutely no clue what happen but it's working now...on the configuration side I didn't change ANYTHING.The only thing I do was starting the game and try to make GS dump,then I've downloaded GSdxGUI,configure it(where the pcsx2 directory is)and I've tried both plugins(r962 and r997)with it(the fps on both plugins was the same).After that I think it was working correctly or it started to work correctly when I've changed ZeroSPU2 to SPU2-X(I've tried that many times(changing every plugin and deleting the ini files)).When I changed back to ZeroSPU2 it was still working correctly

I'll tell you later.
Now about my problem.
I find something new to the problem.When I'm using r997 and pcsx2 is not in focus the fps goes back to normal(like on r976) but when it is,it drops to 50fps.If the console is on focus when I'm using r997 it's even worse...the speed drops to 18-20(on r976 is ok)
Here's a prove of it that there really IS something wrong with this rev(I use GSdxGUI)
Both dumps are maded with the rev. you see...pcsx2 does the same thing but here you can really see the problem because the speed difference is huge(when I'm making video and pcsx2 is running the speed is low)
The archive contains video of the problem.

So let me ask for a clarification, Shadow of the colossus is overall best emulated by the old "gdsx10" compared to the last version, considering the so-called sun washout effect and all?
Is that possible? That doesn't sound right.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 04-19-2009 01:15 PM
Actually, those shadows are the reason of slowness, they use destination alpha test, and to fix it I need to draw each triangle separately, which would make it ultimately slow. The more parts the character is made of the slower it gets.

1006 seems to have introduced a lot of hiccups to Persona 3. A few revs ago (962?) it ran amazingly smooth, without a lot of framerate loss, but now I get frame skipping just about every time I summon a Persona, enter a battle, or change zones. I haven't quite pinned it down to Gdsx yet, but as that's the only thing I've changed since last time I played, it looks to be the culprit.

Unfortunately the two problems it has in gsdx have conflicting solutions. The lower the game resolution is, the more "sun washout" there is, but if you turn it up some characters in cutscenes get "doubled", like the girl and the shadows, and the doubles are farther apart according to the point of view.

Can everyone tell me! Is there really "fullscreen mode" in DX10 (Hardware mode). I knew that we can choose the resolution for fullscreen mode in the Resolution Dropdownlist and we can push Alt + Enter to do it.
But have you ever noticed that the size of icon mouse is not change. I mean, if the resolution you chose higher your current screen resolution, so the mouse icon must smaller than it before...
In DX9 mode, if we choose the resolution for fullscreen mode. Gsdx will enter it automatically, but DX10 mode is not. I think Gsdx just converse from window mode to ours current resolution (make fullscreen) but not the resolution we choose in Dropdownlist...

Try changing the render target resolution. Dx10 mode could also fix this (always try dx10 first, it works way better).

I've tried various different resolutions including the games native resolution and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Unfortunately, I only windows XP so directx 10 is out for me. Though, judging from Dothack's reply, it seems these errors are normal? Oh well, ps2 emulation is still early and the game is still very playable.
RE: GSdx - GreekAthlon - 04-29-2009 11:19 PM
Hi there. I would like to ask something about Gow2. Specifically I am concerned about the flickering being caused when the "vu cycling stealing" is enabled. I've read in pcsx2 googlecode (http address: http://code.google.com/p/pcsx2/issues/detail?id=161#c2) about issue 161, which is "God of War II Kratos flickering gsdx bug". Apparently it turns out that the problem is being caused by the Gsdx plugin and not by the pcsx2 hack. In the analysis of issue 161 it turns out that there where some successfull efforts to deal with the flickering situation, but these efforts caused the "green overlay" problem to reappear.
What I would like to know is if there will be in the future any more efforts to deal with the flickering bug or not. According to pcsx2 googlecode the issue wont be fixed. Am I right?
RE: GSdx - rama - 04-29-2009 11:49 PM
GreekAthlon: You're right, we won't fix small annoyances speedhacks cause. It may however get better (or worse) over time due to different changes.

Alright, here's my save file. There's three saves. With log-z enabled, load up the first save and you'll be in a small village. Run in the riverbed and run around in the water and see if the water gets messed up. You might have to spin the camera 360 as well. After that, disable log-z and see if you see any black tears around the rocky walls of the village.
Enable log-z for the second save, you'll find yourself on a stairway, run down the stairs and run through the stone pillars. Look at ground and see if you get anything like this.

).the first image has text from a few scenes ago still showing and the second one has text that isn't supposed to be shown in cutscenes (the text from current scenes overlap them when they appear, then later on it froze on the last pic (while the it was still working

Getting full speed here. You need DirectX 10 (so you need Vista or Windows 7) to play the game.
Stop posting speed issues here, they are NOT considered bugs and this is not what this thread is about.

The menu grahics in GT4 pal version looks very corrupted. This is a regression between gsdx 1.8 and 1.9.

I have the same problem, the blades animation starts to float above Kratos' head in God of War 1 once you upgade them to level 3. The are floating above the blades and not necessarily above his head.
There seems to be a constant offset between the blades and their animation.
I am using the US version of the game with the latest PCSX2+plugins(I compile from SVN).
Has anyone found a way to fix this?
Thank you.

Hi Gabest. I have ask about missing shadows on HW mode in many games. Is it becouse multipass renders don't work?, cause in much games like FFXII in first pass all lightmaps and others are fine, but dynamic shadowmaps don't work and GOW2 stencil like shadows too or fog in ICO it also all should be rendered in second pass and it's just empty like shadows, is it problem of all games in HW and then why it's almost fine in SW.

using GSdx 1075(1.15)sse2

Also TENCHU works at a great frame rate but the colours are All wrong,,,Its the same in Fight Club..Actually i think both games use a similar tecture method as they seem to have almost identical issues...
Just wanted to bring up these hopfully new issues...StuntMan is Now playable! Hehe

RE: GSdx - crazyquark - 05-06-2009 11:08 AM
I would like to help with solving the game related bugs in GSdx. I have been looking over the code and I am having problems understanding it as I don't know how the rendering pipeline for PCSX2 works. I am especially interesting in solving those related to God of War 1 & 2. I see that GSdx uses some shaders. Could, for example, the water, fog & blade animation problems come from there? I see some floating point divisions in those shaders that don't make sense to me(because I don't understand the code, not because I feel there is smth wrong). Is there some guide or documentation on the GSdx code around?
Thank you.

The Ppoblem Of blinking FMV not only happen to FFX-2 and FF7: Dierge Of Cerberus also ... but this only happen when render in the Hardware mode DX9 and DX10. Just use the Sofware. This will solve the blinking problem for this both game.
(note: Software render will not improve speed for the FMV possible will lower the FPS .. but just solve blinking screen.)

This is not a bug. Using resolutions other than native cause visual errors in most games. This is a side effect of how the PS2 works -- many games were coded to only support being viewed in one resolution. Please do not report graphical errors unless they are also present in native resolution.

You could change the revision number in the url (http://212.92.18.46/gsdx/GSdx-r1145.7z). The possible numbers are those that have comments beginning with "GSdx: ..." (http://code.google.com/p/pcsx2/source/list).

RE: GSdx - winston - 05-09-2009 11:41 AM
This reminds me, I wanted to talk to you (Gabest) about a revision 873m of GSdx which makes everything look good at high non native resolutions for GOW2 but breaks much of the environment (like at the steeds of time it shows me the platform that i stand on but the rest is invisible and it shows the water below the steeds).
It did work perfectly for a portion of the game, in the snowy place where I met Prometheus. That whole area was always crystal clear at any desired resolution. And for another few areas like the room where I fought Perseus.
I thought maybe you could improve the code in that revision or something, again I don't know the first thing about coding.
Let me know if I can help

RE: GSdx - NoVaX1000 - 05-09-2009 09:47 PM
I really suck at reporting bugs, but..
The GSdx graphics plugin causes "Timesplitters 3 Future Perfect" to crash the emulator right when you start story mode on the first level "2401 Time to Split" after the Intro Movie finishes with an error.
AppName: pcsx2-r1139.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: gsdx-r1161-sse4.dll
ModVer: 1.0.1.9 Offset: 000632fa
The emulator also crashes with an error right when the Intro starts if I choose to have "Widescreen" selected as "Yes".
AppName: pcsx2-r1139.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: gsdx-r1161-sse4.dll
ModVer: 1.0.1.9 Offset: 000632fa
Seems to be the same offset..
I've tried it with ZeroGS as well (Which doesn't crash the emulator). But instead has lots of graphic issues which makes it quite impossible to play anyway :x
Edit: Also, if you switch to the Alternative Fire Mode (By pressing up on the D-Pad), with the Mag Charger selected, the Emulator also crashes with an error.
AppName: pcsx2-r1139.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: gsdx-r1161-sse4.dll
ModVer: 1.0.1.9 Offset: 00062d34
ZeroGS also doesn't crash, and it switches over to the alternative mode, but gets real slow to the point of becoming unplayable...
Please look into these issues with TimeSplitters FP with your plugin Gabest, thanks.

I've tried Gow2 with Gsdx 1145 and it looks fine, although I didn't have time to check it for long. I don't think Gsdx 1145 causes any visual problems to Gow2. All these disappearances that Winston writes sounds to me more like the flickerings caused by the vu cycle stealing. If this Gsdx version truly causes glitches to Gow2, I hope someone confirms it so that we can be certain (but I don't think so due to what I have seen with Gsdx 1145 so far).

In OZ (OverZenith) the portrait arts while characters talk are all messed up. Other graphics seem to be fine. I tried reporting this in Bug Reporting section a few days ago but was told it was a plugin error.
This error occurs in ZeroGS and ZZOgl too but I prefer gsdx.
Zerogs PG 97.1: Once the in-game starts with the portrait arts the console says:
"Invalid unpack type", then spams "updating selfZeroGS:" over and over again.
ZZOgl 17.151: spams "1 0 0" when you load game, actually has an additional minor glitch during loading screen. Once the in-game starts it repeatedly writes "Invalid unpack type" about once every second.
gsdx: no messages

RE: GSdx - Fjapo - 05-11-2009 07:16 PM
This is strange, with the 2 new versions of GSDX (r1161 and r1168), the SSE4 version, using software mode in DX10, with the latest beta versión of PCSX (pcsx2-beta-1059) I find that in "Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 PAL", all textures in battle are black, except the "aura" of the fighters. Well in hardware I know about the flickering of this game in PAL (it continues, in hardware
), but in software this freezes me , because before software works "slow" but great, and in the GSDX version r1145 some lines in the horizont of some stages are gone, fixing the look of the horizont. Maybe this only happens in this game, but is annoying.[attachment=18511]
RE: GSdx - damieneye - 05-12-2009 05:19 AM
I would like to share something I found. I've been playing Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts (both Square-Enix games) and sometimes character's faces have weird things (I'm not talking about the Yuna's neck black line in FFX).
Here is a screenshot:
![[Image: bug573.jpg]](http://xs139.xs.to/xs139/09201/bug573.jpg)
In FFX it barely happened, I saw it sometimes in Wakka and someone else, but in Kingdom Hearts I've seen it a lot (always in in-game cutscenes).
Since this didn't happen with ZeroGS, I started trying old versions of GSDX, and this problem magically stops happening in the GSdx 0.1.8 version, newer versions from that one have the same issue. I'll keep using the 0.1.8 for this game but I just wanted to report that if it's any help.
If you need any other information I'll be glad to help.
*Note that the black line in Yuna's face is still there in the 0.1.8 (this only happens in DX10 I believe).

damieneye, the same thing here. Didn't knew it stopped in 0.1.8, gonna get that to play KH.
The black line in FFX disappears when you disable texture filtering or if you switch to DX9, at least, that is for me.
RE: GSdx - seinfeldx - 05-12-2009 05:39 PM
Same here with dx9 it doesn't happen, unchecking texture filtering makes the graphic suck just see the intro of FFX when it show the rocks upclose you can see the diference.
RE: GSdx - damieneye - 05-12-2009 08:21 PM
Yeah I was aware that disabling Texture filtering in DX10 or using DX9 solved the problem, I commented it in another post. I played FFX in DX9 mode, no major problems. It was either that or using DX10 without the texture filtering, but it looks very pixelated.

RE: GSdx - superdumpbox - 05-15-2009 12:21 AM
Using PCSX2 beta 1059.
I've never had better performance with R-Type Final than with this emulator and GSdx r1006. SSE4.1 pixel shader 3 directx 9. Pretty much 60fps no matter what. (Let's be honest; I don't feel like installing a directx 10 compatible operating system right now.)
In fact I've had great performance from GSdx for some time so I figured, why not update to r1182? I did. And I deleted the relevant ini files, ran default configuration except for selecting pixel shader 3, still directx 9, and.. the emulator crashes at the hangar.
After several trials, the emulator consistently crashes at the hangar. Disabled all speedhacks (as likely as that is to work) and still crashes the emulator at the hangar. Tried SSE2 version and oddly enough, no video, but still sound, and blindly entering the hangar crashes the emulator.
Reverted back from r1182 to r1006. Everything is fine. Even r1006 SSE2 version has perfect speed and video. I hope that was enough information.
RE: GSdx - Jaxxdude - 05-15-2009 03:55 AM
Updated to GSdx-r1182 and was unable to play Kingdom Hearts 2 because all I got was a black screen (hope I'm not the only one getting this problem). No matter what I did or what settings I changed, the screen was always black... had to revert back to GSdx-r1171 in order to get rid of the black screen.

Yes I'm experiencing the same thing with both Kingdom Hearts 1 and Final fantasy 10, sound is playing normally, but no image, tried with different settings. I hope it helps, I don't have more games to try.
RE: GSdx - Misfire - 05-15-2009 06:35 AM
using revision 1171, it seems like GSdx is ignoring the third state in the texture filtering which is a greyed out check mark which means 3d texture filtering on while 2d texture filtering off.
In the third state it is still doing texture filtering to both 2D and 3D.
I noticed this when playing final fantasy X
RE: GSdx - KrazyTrumpeter05 - 05-15-2009 06:54 AM
Latest revision totally borked all my games, too.
FFXII, Kingdom Hearts, Shadow of the Collossus, Avatar Into the Inferno, and Avatar the Last Airbender all are nothing but a black screen while Avatar Burning Earth simply crashses.
I also stupidly didn't back up my plugins, does anyone have a link to the r1171?
Also, I was toying around with using the plugin in the ePSXe emulator and it looks pretty great, but I was wondering if it were possible to run it in hardware mode and have some sort of frame limiter? If not, no big deal, Pete's OpenGL2 plugin works great as well, but it would be nice to just use one plugin for everything.

I couldn't find the limiter, it seems to only be options in the various ePSXe graphics plugins. Is there a menu item somewhere that I am missing?
*edit* Nevermind, found an option in the EternalSPU plugin. Set Audio Output to SPUasync and Wait does the trick!
Also, what other information would you like from us in regards to the latest revision borking all our games?
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 05-15-2009 09:34 AM
If you all could confirm only dx9 modes have problems that would help, I think I might have found the error already.
In epsxe F4 switches frame limiter on/off, as in pcsx2, but as I heard it also depends on the sound plugin.

As of revision r1192 no more crashes of the emulator in the hangar of R-Type Final under the same testing circumstances (directx9, SSE4.1, pixel shader 3.)
Also SSE2 version displays video perfectly fine now. It seems whatever you did resolved my specific issue. Thanks!
RE: GSdx - IDSG - 05-15-2009 10:12 PM
r1192 runs fine, no more crashes, but everything looks a little bit blurry compared to r1076 (at least in persona 3)

There were two revisions within 24 hours, 1192 and 1194, you might have missed it.
RE: GSdx - LuisR14 - 05-17-2009 05:44 AM
well it had happened with other revisions at another time, but i checked again and it's ok now

RE: GSdx - SaltyPotato - 05-17-2009 08:23 AM
My appreciation goes out to the developers of this excellent piece of software. It has come a long way!
Game: One Piece Grand Adventure
GSDX version: 1194 (Although previous versions have been tried)
Speed Hacks: None
Game Fixes: None
Issue: Vertical Red lines (as seen in snapshot) with DX10 hardware mode and Vertical Blue lines with DX9 hardware mode. Tested on multiple PCs (ATI and Nvidia cards) and issue persists. Stripes aside, this game runs perfectly.
Comment: The visual issue does not exist in software mode, but the game runs much slower. I understand this is consistent with Bositman's English guide; however, everything other than the lines looks sharp. Does a solution to this already exist? I found a post from 2007 regarding post-filter effects being disabled and was curious as to if this would fall under such. Also, a ".gs" file that goes with the snap has been created but I was unsure how to go about posting it (3.4MB while zipped). Thanks in advance for any input gents.

There's some parts in that game where the 2d parts will be drawn in 3d for some effect or something. It isnt related to the grey check really, it still works as it should on other games with the ocassional same thing happening in some scenes only.

Thats weird, I remember it behaving differently in older versions, like if you bring up the party screen, the 2d text is not filtered and actually looks nice with no weird lines. I'll have to double check.
RE: GSdx - pest - 05-20-2009 08:25 AM
I can confirm that texture-filtering is broken (=always on) with DX10 and newer versions of GSdx.
It worked with the version included in PCSX2 0.96 and Virtua Fighter 4,
but after I updated my DirectX to a newer version, i'm not able to change the state (=vertikal black lines in the intro).
Software-Mode and DX9-Mode are still working fine.
Anyway, thanks gabest for such a greate piece of software, because now i'm really enjoying some games

Dont know what to say I remember it working the same since long ago, maybe we're talking about different 2d parts?
I checked with another game (persona 4) and the grey check worked as expected, also launched FFX with pcsx2 0.9.5 beta and GSdx 0.1.14 and GSdx 0.1.10 (to try very early versions to compare) and it worked the same as with the last build i'm using (r1194 GSdx and latest pcsx2 beta).

Hi!
I've been testing Xenosaga III lately and I've noticed that the opening video and some other (not CG's, they're played with the game's engine) are only looking half-ok with GSdx 0.1.6 and 0.1.7. From there, that videos are looking awful, completely corrupted. Half screen it's looking ok, and the other one has strange vertical transparencies or something like that...
I've tested all versions 'til today's beta, and those old versions are the only ones looking semi-ok.
Changing from Dx9 to Dx10 doesn't make any change
Here I attach two screens at the same point. Hope they help you a little, Gabest.

This is a post processing issue with this game only.
There is a hack for this, but it doesn't really work well, and causes the rest of the game to look bad.
I suggest you just skip these scenes (not too many of them), and alternatively watch them on youtube.
Or use the software renderer, and crawl trough them

if you talking about missing textures on walls it happen on dx9 but not on dx10.
RE: GSdx - mystic86 - 05-24-2009 05:43 PM
Well I'm using dx9 and win XP SP2, however it wasn't written that this fix in emu is working only with dx 10.
As for graphics you should use gsdx at least 0.1.15 1076 or 1145rev. Only SSE2 for AMD cpu's. Set speedhacks cycle x2 and tick all 4 fixes on the right side. In Gpu set on everything except tv out, Pixel shader 3.0 and render DIRECT 3D HARDWARE(maybe you have software and it's a lot slower mode).
And btw maybe that game is just not enough compatible with emu?

Did anyone find a solution to this in GOW1 NTSC version?
I've tried several builds from r847 and to the latest one - no luck
http://i40.tinypic.com/vwtndg.jpg
(the second shot is a software mode, but the game is unplayable there)
(my system is Athlon X2 5200+, Radeon 4670 512 MBs, running under WinXP SP3 with latest drivers and DirectX)
It appears as it is a bug with incorrect alpha channel calculation or something because while in software mode the fog plane is less thicker - it is not too much thicker in the hardware mode, but while in software mode the fog is much thicker - in hardware mode it is impossible to see anything. Is there a way to fix it?
Also what about the non-existent shadows in hardware mode?
RE: GSdx - TettaX - 05-24-2009 08:00 PM
Hi! I had upgraded plugin and get an unexpected bug in the Persona 4:
Turn on Logarithmic Z => Ground textures (like red/black passage to Yukiko castle and carpet in my room) looks strange and choped, but texture overlaying and title screen are OK.
Turn off Logarithmic Z => Ground textures OK, but other strange effects appearing, like wrong texture overlaying and title screen without "shadows".
How can i turn it on in a proper way?
Tried this on 0.9.6 release, beta 1059, beta 1190.
GSdx = 1250 SSE 4.1
pixel shaders = 3.0
Vsync, resolution 2048x2048, texture filtering, alpha correction = on (all of these doesn't matter, i tried)
DX = 9.0c march
Persona fix = on (beta 1059, beta 1190)
Speed Hacks = EE x2 cycle rate, INTC, IOP x2

Help me and sorry for my bad English.
RE: GSdx - edu_dudu - 05-24-2009 08:50 PM
I'm having this proble with sonic unleashed!
I can't see anything ingame, but just on Hardware mode.
Software works, but the game is flashing and not too fast!!
My configs:
pcsx2 rev 1255
GSdx 1250 (DX10)
all speeds hacks on (I tried off too)
SPU-X 1.1.0
My pc:
Core 2 Duo E7200 2,53 ghz
4 GB - Windows Vista 64 bit
Geforce 8600 gt 512mb
Fix it, please!!

This is a post processing issue with this game only.
There is a hack for this, but it doesn't really work well, and causes the rest of the game to look bad.
I suggest you just skip these scenes (not too many of them), and alternatively watch them on youtube.
Or use the software renderer, and crawl trough them
Thanks for the explanation, rama
I guess Xenosaga games are a little "special" xD
The point also was knowing if there's a way to make that movies look as they do with 0.1.6/0.1.7, so we can test with XenoIII the recent changes, speed-ups, etc that gabest is adding to the plugin.

RE: GSdx - Zeydlitz - 05-24-2009 10:16 PM
Strange, Gabest was fixed Sonic recently, but with CRC hack -- maybe you Sonic have different CRC? Anyway, you could play with ZZogl (with Fast Update on).
Floor issue in Persona is pcsx2 issue.
RE: GSdx - edu_dudu - 05-25-2009 01:21 AM
Sonic Unleashed with ZZogl is with a black map, just sonic appears!!
What is the CRC hack?
And there is a bug in Rock Band 2 with GSdx 1250
Some times appears boxes and the bird in the world map are boxes too!
Was working correct on the others versions!

TimeSplitters 3 [U] still has post processing errors when in certain levels that cover half the screen in garbage unless health/armour bars are being shown.
Is there a CRC check workaround for this problem?

seems someone else noticed it on r1239 and says it's related to the r1218 which actually changed something about the f5-f7 keys, makes sense since the closest to that rev I have is r1226 where the problem was already there and r1194 worked fine
Gabest said to try other pad plugins I tried SSSPSX pad and older version of lilypad and got the same results, you guys got better luck?
RE: GSdx - seinfeldx - 05-25-2009 07:32 PM
Considering that i use the exact same plugins and pcsx2 version charging only Gsdx version, isn't it strange to expect a fix in a plugin that doesn't make the problem?
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 05-25-2009 07:32 PM
Lately, gsdx expects key events to come from pcsx2, which receives them from the pad plugin. SSSPSX had an update without source that exported an incompatible PADfreeze function and crashed, so I only test lily and xpad nowdays, but those work for me.
RE: GSdx - seinfeldx - 05-25-2009 07:49 PM
tested with some version of pcsx2, SSSPSX and lilypad ( even diferent keyboard API), on xp and vista, on dx9 and dx10, F1 to F4 works so the only possible reason not work is Gsdx itself.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 05-25-2009 08:16 PM
Did you also use pcsx2 r1218+ to test it?
RE: GSdx - Shadow Lady - 05-25-2009 09:06 PM
Just tested with pcsx2 r1257 and you're right it works there, however it's weird for them to stop working with the stable pcsx2 0.9.6 and latest public beta but if you say it's the right behavior then go ahead
RE: GSdx - seinfeldx - 05-25-2009 10:39 PM
the latest PCSX2 official beta on forum is 1190, did the change in code to work with latest pcsx2 make shortcuts not compatible with older version?
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 05-25-2009 11:02 PM

RE: GSdx - Krude - 05-26-2009 01:20 PM
Hey Gabest, thanks for all your effort, I appreciate it.
Besides non-functional shortcuts (with SSSPSX) in the latest revisions, I also found a new problem in the game "Warriors Orochi 2". It's fairly recent, but I can't tell from which revision upwards, since I'm not up-to-date all the time. It's not present in GSdx 0.1.14, though.
I've attached 2 snapshots. One with GSdx 0.1.14 (no bug) :
[attachment=18935]
And one with GSdx 0.1.15 rev 1266 (cut-in is missing):
[attachment=18936]
All speed hacks and stuff in PCSX 0.9.6 disabled at the time.
I hope you can track down what's wrong.

it works with older revisions
hope u will fix it
RE: GSdx - KrazyTrumpeter05 - 05-28-2009 08:43 AM
Why would he fix stuff for very old versions of the emulator?
Also, it seems like the last revision, 1279, either fixed or greatly reduced the massive overbloom effect like in Shadow of the Colossus! This could also be related to one of the latest emulator revisions (I'm currently using r1257), but either way, I can run it at lower internal resolutions and cut back on the speed hacks now which makes for MUCH smooth game play.
Good stuff!

Timesplitters will require your CRC adding to GSDX to disable post processing. As for Second Sight, you could try disabling Logarithmic Z in the config, Enthusia Professional Racing was the same deal. Or enable it if it's already off

RE: GSdx - KrazyTrumpeter05 - 05-28-2009 07:16 PM
Strange...
All I know is it works for me and I'm extremely happy.
I just tested it with the latest official beta, r1190, and the bloom is still gone, so it's obviously something fixed with the latest GSDx.
Did you try deleting all your inis? It should wipe all your settings and let you start from scratch. Try that to make sure there isn't an old setting causing some sort of conflict.

I still get the offset bloom as well.
RE: GSdx - KrazyTrumpeter05 - 05-29-2009 02:48 AM
After a bit more extensive testing, it seems the problem still persists somewhat when you play in native resolution. However, it was no longer there when I was playing at 1024x1024 internal res, where before I had to be up to at least 1440x1080 before it was barely noticeable. Still a big improvement, IMO
RE: GSdx - kyoko - 05-29-2009 11:29 AM
I see.
The problem is that if you don't play strictly in native resolution, other problems arise, namely the appearance of bars at the bottom and side of the screen, and a kind of "ghosting" of some elements. I mean, some elements get a transparent clone: the shadows around you when you wake up after destroying a colossus, the girl in the ending movie, the birds in the temple, possibly the eyes of the colossi.
Actually those elements are kinda screwed up in directx10 even in native resolution. They are all weird, glowy and blurred.
Anyway, Gabest, keep up the good work, and thanks.

They are all affected by this, unless you use...DX9? Don't quote me on that, but the issue seems to be in all versions of either DX9 mode or DX10 mode.

Ciao Gabest.

To see what i ment, try the software mode,
where the effects are correctly shown (but with slow speed
and without hi res).
There's a way to fix the hardware mode?

Some games got such blurfilters removed in GSdx, and in some games post processing effects are not correctly rendered in PCSX2/the graphics plugin (e.g. SotC overbright).
So my question was whether in this case there is hope that it could be removed someday or not.
Btw.: In an old version of GSdx (GSdx9 0.11.0) there is less blur but the lighting is a bit different. I'm not sure which is nearer to the original PS2 rendering.

not just that but in hardware mode you can still choose "sw render threads",also in dx10 mode is this new or is it also a bug-to choose shader mode 2.0 or 3.0 ,in previous versions you couldnt,and also logarithmic z and alpha correction were greyed out in dx10 mode now they arent.

That isnt a bug either that option (fullscreen resolution) only works for dx9, for dx10 you alt+enter for fullscreen which takes your desktop resolution as far as I know. If anything it was a bug in earlier revisions for not blocking it

meisterclavier, are you using WinXP?
RE: GSdx - Shadow Lady - 06-04-2009 10:55 PM
He did say that he was using xp.
meisterclavier, may I ask what graphics card are you using? and as you were using xp and downloaded directx10 is there a option to revert this? the directx10 for xp is known to cause issues.
RE: GSdx - KrazyTrumpeter05 - 06-04-2009 11:58 PM
Ah, well then that is his problem. You can't use DX10 with XP. You are stuck using DX9. Trying to use the DX10 plugin on XP will result in that error message.
RE: GSdx - shadow0000 - 06-05-2009 10:08 PM
Sacred Blaze [J]
HW (dx9) seems to have post-processing issues, not present on SW mode, apparently it looks like the bloom is causing it, it's covering the left half of the screen.

The SHIFT +F8 thing didn't work so, i used print screen to take a screenshot of the error.
The screen stays grey all the time although, the sound works normally.
RE: GSdx - Dr.J - 06-06-2009 02:51 PM
Gabest, can you take a look at The Simpsons Game, please? I know you fixed some unknown versions several weeks ago, but NTSC version is still unplayable in HW-mode. I tried to add crc of the game (BBE4D862) into sources, but it didn't work. Here is GSdump - http://www.sendspace.com/file/jp2b59
RE: GSdx - vsub - 06-07-2009 10:58 AM
There are a lot of missing textures and slashing screens(all settings are on default)in FFX International on r1341.I've tried to rebuild GSdx but it's the same but with your version Gabest it's ok.
What could be wrong here?
NVM I just tried to clean and then rebuild GSdx again and this time was ok(I tried only to rebuild it the first time when I got the problem)
RE: GSdx - CentroX - 06-07-2009 04:42 PM
please help I cant change resolution in direct3D DX10 hardware, it is greyed out even though I have a DX10 card(geforce gts 250) and running windows 7.
I always get 640x447 res in a window, what could be wrong? (I can change res in direct3d9hardware)
RE: GSdx - vsub - 06-07-2009 04:58 PM
The resolution shown on the game windows is the game default resolution,not the one you set.Even you successfully set for example 1600x1200 in the game window will still show you 640x447 but the game will be with better graphical quality
RE: GSdx - lightchris - 06-07-2009 05:33 PM
I think CentroX meant that the resolution setting is stuck to "window", not the internal resolution.
To switch to fullscreen mode when using DX10 simply press Alt+Enter.
RE: GSdx - seinfeldx - 06-07-2009 05:58 PM
i think he talking about the first case but it can be that too.
RE: GSdx - kyoko - 06-07-2009 08:39 PM
Oy, to me it looks like the overbloom effect in SotC was fixed in the latest revision in Dx10 mode only.
Anyone else care to check?
The elements that are ghosted in higher resolutions, like the shadows that surround you when you wake up, are all weird though, all blurred out and almost invisible in native resolution. They are fine, however, in dx9.
Great job Gabest, keep it up, and thanks.
RE: GSdx - LuisR14 - 06-07-2009 09:20 PM
I must say Gabest great work on fixing Sonic Unleashed

Just tested it myself and it does indeed look like that the overbloom problem is a non-issue now. I didn't notice the ghosted problems you mentioned, however, but I'll look around more carefully over the next couple hours of playing.
RE: GSdx - kyoko - 06-07-2009 11:33 PM
I'll post some pics to document the issue.
The first couple is in dx10, 1024x1024 - you can see the ghosting.[attachment=19197][attachment=19198]
The second couple in dx10, native - you can see the blurring.[attachment=19199][attachment=19200]
The third couple in dx9, native - this is, I guess, what it should look like, [attachment=19201][attachment=19202]
except for the overbloom still there (second pic).
This effect regards the eyes of the colossi, the girls in the ending movie, the doves in the temple, as I stated earlier. Possibly Dormin's body in the ending sequence (though I think that is a different issue), maybe other things. I can provide more pics if they are useful. I hope I'm not being too annoying in bringing it up again.
RE: GSdx - KrazyTrumpeter05 - 06-08-2009 12:50 AM
Hrm, I didn't notice anything like that, but I'll see if I can reproduce it and maybe we can find out what the issue is from there.
What are your system specs by the way?
RE: GSdx - bloodindark - 06-08-2009 06:15 AM
i tought you should no.with the new beta version of pcsx2 the following games are playable
Van Helsing (the only problem is a graphic bug in the background image of the menu and in the background image of the level start,but that does not affect gameplay,maybe something to do with the noise effect because the problem is gone when using software mode)
Mummy - Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (the only problem is a square like black shadow on the ground,but that is gone when using native resolution)
Rise To Honor (doesnt have the spikey polygon problem anymore,the only problem is the hud graphic bug,but is gone when using native resolution)
Gabest maybe this helps you somehow.your plugin is the best!
RE: GSdx - Tetram - 06-08-2009 07:41 AM
Hi !
this is my first post here, and I just want to let you know that your plugin is just marvelous !
I've tried PCSX2 2 month ago (0.9.6) and MGS4 was only runing at 70% max, with lot of glitch.
I've updated to your new plugin, and now it works at 90% most of the time, with a very few graphical bug. Very impressive ! I love it !
By the way, I have just one little problem with the last revision (1341) : I can't exit the fullscreen mode. I tried ALT+F4, ESCAPE, CTRL ALT SUPPR or whatever : I'm still in game. It's a little bit annoying, because the only way I found to get out is to turn off my computer (I press power down button, then ENTER so that Windows shut it down properly)
Here is my spec :
Core 2 Duo E8500
Radeon 4850 (1Go) with 9.5 catalyst
4 GO DDR2
Windows XP 32 Bit Home.
Again : thank you a lot for your wonderful work !

My specs are as follows:

Try first hitting Esc then Alt+F4 when it stopped that should work.

I tried what you've suggested Shadow Lady, but it doesn't work.

Ah I see... seems the "full screen + esc" bug in dx9 is back sometime after rev 1228
RE: GSdx - Tetram - 06-08-2009 11:50 AM
Another little bug found : if Rocket Launch is running, GSDX can't go full screen. Actually it does go full screen if I alt+Tab, but is stuck to a black screen... Then I have to ESC then CTRL+C, etc...
RE: GSdx - lusterdrag - 06-08-2009 03:03 PM
I was thought that press Alt+Enter will make GSdx go to full screen, and then press Alt+Enter will make GSdx go back to window size again,is i have something wrong!
RE: GSdx - Tetram - 06-08-2009 05:56 PM
alt+Enter does not work for me. I guess it's for the D10 version.
RE: GSdx - LuisR14 - 06-08-2009 06:29 PM
do you have "Misc->Close GS Window on Esc" enabled?

Yeah "misc > close gs window on esc" worked in older GSdx dx9 but not the latest ones.

I confirm that I've checked this option, and it doesn't have any effect.
At the moment, I've got to use the ESC, ALT F4 then CTRL V combo...
Everything else works like a charm, so It does not bother me.
By the way, I have a little question : why is DX10 version faster than DX9 ? I've been told that this performance thing was nothing more than an false ad by Microsoft to sell Vista...
Can somebody explain me ?
RE: GSdx - Shadow Lady - 06-08-2009 09:49 PM
uh basically DX10 has more features that Gabest is making use of and results in easier (more efficient) emulation and ends up in faster speeds, pixel shader 4.0 however I dont think makes much difference. The same happens with SSE4.1 or SSSE3 versions they simply have more instructions that can be useful for emulation but this ones work for all OSes instead (as soon as the hardware support them)
There was a better explanation of the features used somewhere but cant find it sorry

Ok ! Thank you for the explainations Shadow Lady. And thank you for your welcoming in general : I'm new here, and it's always great to feel welcomed, even though I'm a newbie ;-)
May I ask one more thing ? I've noticed glitches on 2D objects, like on some texts, 2D background, etc. When I was using ePSXe a long time ago, it was solved by disabling the texture filtering on 2D objects. But here, even if texture filtering is off, I have the following problem :

uhm I dont remember KH looking like that
Well most problems like that can be solved using the "native" checkbox in GSdx config usually (or just trying another internal resolution combination might work), for some other games it's only fixed using software mode or DX10 against DX9 or the opposite or even using ZeroGS as Graphics plugin. Sometimes but less likely turning off speedhacks can work.
RE: GSdx - Dr.J - 06-09-2009 01:30 PM
Gabest, can you take a look at this weird textures in Jak II? Changing render from HW to SW than back to HW on fly fixes eyes of characters, but Jak's face and water looks fine only in software.

RE: GSdx - Kapu - 06-09-2009 02:46 PM
Hello . This is my frist post here (was posting before on ngemu forums).
I wanted to report some bugs in Tekken 5, but which is strange is that some of them doesnt ocour in PAL version and does occour in NTSC version.
I tried couple versions of GSDX , and it is allways the same (sppeed hacks too) , there are artifacts in NTSC version , and no artifacts in PAL ( there is few that are in common but they are minor compared to NTSC artifacts ).
Also Tekken 5 has ( tested only DX10 ) problems with non native res, basicaly it crashes instantly after first intro if you set higher res (like 1280x1024) but you can start it at 1024x1024, but again at 1024x1024 you can play all modes but not Deveil Within which crashes on loading and works fine in native res. I havent had any problems seting high resolutions in other games ( for example Mortal Kombat Armagedon/Deception works fine even you set 2048x2048 res).
Emu crashes with GSDX.dll error
No speedhacks enabled all setings defualt.
Tested revs GSDX from 1250-1350, all the same.
PCSX Revs 1058-1350, all the same.
My PC
CPU : E8200 @ 3.6 Ghz
RAM : 4GB @ 1066Mhz
GPU : Radeon HD4870 512mb.
I hope what i said make some sense for You Gabest . Please tell if i can provide somehow more info if you need it .

Ok ! thanks for the advices.
I've tried eveything you said, except DX10 (I don't have Vista).
On the "native" resolution, the glitch is weaker, but still there.
On software mode, the glitch disapears.
On ZeroGS, without anti aliasing, no glitch.
On ZeroGS, when anti aliasing is on, the glitch appears again.
So this bug is due to anti aliasing, maybe Catalyst 9.5 drivers are faulty...
RE: GSdx - Shadow Lady - 06-09-2009 11:10 PM
Nah it's more about the calculations for "stretching" the resolution probably, the games were designed to work well on a specific resolution after all and well the plugins arent perfect
The "anti-aliasing" in ZeroGS just increases the internal resolution same as GSdx with another than "native" anyway.
RE: GSdx - Tetram - 06-10-2009 06:35 AM
Ok ! thanks.
With the last revision (1351), on native res, the glitch disapeared on the dialogs, but it is still noticeable on the menus.
I also have problems with some textures which are flickering, even with logarithmic Z, but it's less noticeable with native res. I guess I'll play as it is intended to be play : native res !

There is a problem when using dx9 or 10 hardware mode. The screen gets these weird lines all time in hardware but in the software mode it looks perfect.
I have newest gsdx svn 1351 and these lines has been there always. Weirdly sly 1 looks perfectly in hardware mode. Screenshots from hw and shw.
Maybe you can get these fixed when you have time.

Hey Gabest,
Im told you can help me obtain a modified (recompiled differently) version (by you not hacked by somebody of course) of your graphics plugin that removes the fog and/or anything causing major fps slowness in the game "God of War"
Game version is:
GoW [SCUS 97399] [CRC D6385328] (U)
Im not an expert so i dont know exactly what needs to be removed to fix the FPS but people are saying its the FOG mainly.
Thanks!.

Thank you so much! = )
RE: GSdx - silvosforever - 06-11-2009 01:07 AM
Awesome work so far Gabest!
But I have one game in particular that is giving me a TON of headaches, and It'd be awesome if you checked it out.
Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut (JPN)
I get freezes during cinematic scenes (not a hard crash, but nothing happens). Also when running your drivers in Hardware mode I can't set the native resolution above 1024 without getting a HARD crash as soon as the game boots up.
Setting the native resolution to 800 by 600 works okay though.....
Also, random crashes when switching screens sometimes (usually entering a new area or leaving battle).
Lastly, I'm seeing weird lines withing the sprites models during combat (this is hardware mode only, these lines are gone in software mode). The lines seem to be separating different movable sections of the sprite.
I'm just saying, try the game out yourself, because it really is fun and all. But you can notice all these different problems in the first 20 minutes or so of gameplay.
I don't have a modded PS2 so this is like the only way I can play this game X|
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 06-11-2009 01:21 AM

Yeah, a LOT of the game is 2-d sprites (characters and monsters), but the environments are all 3-d rendered.
Software mode is pretty stable, still can't finish the opening cinematic completely (which crashes at a different pont every time I try and watch it actually).
These "crashes" are usually black screens where I can still heare the audio, but can't see or do anything anymore.
RE: GSdx - dralor - 06-11-2009 03:18 AM
Crashes are sound and timing related but yes there is the issue if you use direct x 10 you can't go above a certain internal res or it will crash.

You have to understand that you are not supposed to run any game with different resolutions,it is something the PS2 does not do thus it WILL cause problems. So if native works,there is no other way the problem is the upscaling
RE: GSdx - bloodindark - 06-11-2009 12:08 PM
god of war 2 had the same problem,and someone on a forum posted a modified version of gsdx and it worked perfectly (without ghosting when using different resolutions)

I'm back, always with Kingdom Hearts.
With latest rev (1357), the "grid" bug disappeared ! it's very nice.
[attachment=19248]
So, for now, I have only one last annoying point :
[attachment=19249]
Logarithmic Z doesn't solve this, and all speedhack are off.
Even in software I have this Z issue... (on rev 1351, it was OK)
So this is, for me, the final point that need correction so I can play KH as it was on my PS2, even better thanks to the filtering.

RE: GSdx - Ilikebacon - 06-12-2009 09:29 PM
Hi all,
I've been searching for a while and I have yet to find a cause and/or workaround for a GSDX bug I'm dealing with.
I'm currently trying to setup GSDX to play .hack //Infection under DX10 (hardware). I tried a couple of builds (official and beta) and I always have this problem.
Every time I try to set the internal resolution higher than "native" the emulator crashes on start and reports:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

Additional Information 3: fd00
Additional Information 4: ea6f5fe8924aaa756324d57f87834160
Of all the games I have, this is the only one with this problem. Weird thing is that I can set the internal resolution as high as I want under DX9. FYI I have a 9800GTX, so there is no problem with DX10 compatibility. Also, I have a Core 2 Duo and DirectX is fully up to date.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this, or know of a way to work around this ?
Thank you for your input.

RE: GSdx - Ilikebacon - 06-12-2009 10:21 PM
I understand that using higher internal resolutions might cause some graphical glitches like ghosting, missing geometry and similar problems ingame.
But in this case the emulator simply crashes upon loading the ISO, can't even get to the opening scene. That is the only game I tried that wouldn't boot if not in native resolution. Also, since DX9 does it fine, I found it weird that DX10 couldn't do it.
I'll keep searching and trying different plugin builds and combinations to see if I can up that internal res.
Thank you for your answer kyoko (and Bositman
).
RE: GSdx - Bositman - 06-12-2009 10:42 PM
Yes crashing could be a plugin issue. Don't get me wrong,it doesn't mean all bugs that we get when using a custom resolution instead of native are unfixable,some are indeed plugin problems. But I wouldn't have them on top of my to do list if i was gabest since there might be no way of fixing them.

I was not aware that I could change those settings at runtime. I'll try that and hope that it does not crash when a cinematic plays or something.
I tested with earlier official GSDX releases and this problem occurs since GSdx 0.1.2, it was fine in release 0.1.1. Earlier releases, however, do give me an error report in the pcsx2 console. Just before the "Bandai" logo comes on-screen, it reads: "GIF Warning > Soft reset requested, but the GS plugin doesn't support it!", and then the pcsx2 crashes.
Dunno if it means something but I thought I should mention it.
Still, as long as I get to play it on my PC in high res, I'm a happy camper.
Thanks for your help

Mr. Gabest, is it possible to add an option for fixing God of War fog problem?
I know there is modified old version of your plugin (gsdx-1076m) which has green fog fixed. Recent versions are quite faster, but fog problem is annoying. If you please (and it's possible, of course) - add that fix to GSDX's options
RE: GSdx - Samhayne - 06-15-2009 08:45 PM
I know, this is an old one:
But it would be just great if GSDX (in Hardware Mode) could be enhanced to make FFX-2 play its FMVs correctly.
(One of the Kingdom Hearts' has the same problem I think - never played it)
Okay, there's a workaround.
When FMV starts: Savestate -> exit -> switch to Software Mode/Native Res./ZeroGS -> load savestate -> Watch FMV -> save savestate -> exit -> Switch to Hardware Mode -> load savestate
But ... of course... the procedure makes FMVs rather unenjoyable...
RE: GSdx - stpdrgstr - 06-16-2009 09:40 PM
No need to do that, you can change to/from software mode while in-game pressing F9. Just don't do it when in fullscreen...
RE: GSdx - Samhayne - 06-17-2009 09:42 AM
Awww. Indeed.
Never found out about that key (and nowhere read about it in the FFX-2 FMV Threads).
Thx!!
RE: GSdx - ZEROx - 06-17-2009 06:43 PM
Gabest, in one of your last commits the speed in games like XenoSaga3
FFXII, Grandia 3 was increased, cause the cpu usage in hardware mode was
decreased,i'm very thankful for that, the games like MGS3 and Shadow of
the Collosus almost always have 60-99% of CPU usage ingame, is this fiable?
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 06-17-2009 07:10 PM
Well, the % includes cpu and gpu both, of the gs thread, and recent changes put more work on the cpu. In dx10 mode it might be faster overall because dx10 does not support 16 bit textures and the shader had to extract the bits itself. Longer shader code means reduced fillrate, which lowers the fps as resolution increases. If shader code ran faster I could easily give more work to the gpu, but currently it is not the case with my hardware

Hello,
I write you to tell that the problem of flickering (flashing) in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is increasing with the versions. It increased a little bit with r12xx but not a big problem. But with r1376, it became almost unplayable. I am using directX10 Full Screen with 1024*1024 textures.

One of the few visual novels that I saw almost completely broken on D39 HW mode (I think the other was Canvas), SW works fine, normally I let these pass but this one crawls in comparison to others on SW mode 40/30/20 fps or less on transition effects (the plugin seems to report 30000 polys or more).

If you have a dump of Canvas I'd check that too, this one had the exact same palette problem as Clannad or Tomoyo After.

Thanks for fixing it so fast. Canvas is fine (my bad), I can't remember the exact game but I'll try to check.

Princess Maker 2, works fine on D3D9 SW mode there is no output (black) on HW mode, on all the game including any intro or logo FMVs.
D3D9 SW (there is no visual output on HW mode to compare):

If it is of any help I aslo leave a gs dump of Sacred Blaze, for the issue I mentioned here, it seems the line on the middle is caused by a slight bloom that is applied to half the left screen but not to other half, though it looks a littler stronger on software.

I've dumped a GS file, is atached to this.

NOTE: in software mode it works correctly.
Also, can anyone tell me, how GSDX software mode works? Is all graphics emulated by the CPU in software mode? (some kind of CPU turns into a graphic card?)

Works fine on D3D9 SW but there are lots of lines and borders on D3D9 HW sometimes black or transparent, mainly on the characters, with Bilinear Filtering the lines extend to the scenarios and probabily all the screen, visible particulary on eyes or mouths were there seems to be animated or multiple textures (clamp?). Only reporting this because of the other Black Border issue, the game is playable in Software, and it actually suffers in speed on HW when there are multiple characters (3 characters / 80 fps on SW vs 20 fps on HW).

The screenshots there are taken on native resolution, I can only think that it would worsen even more on non-native resolutions.
In any case is just a mention, I usually let these pass by since the game is perfectly playable on software mode, but this one is really noticeable there are as many artifacts to make the game look bricked in certain scenes.
As a sidenote Clannad, Lamune and Moonties are some of the PS2 ported/developed games by HuneX, possibly other games from this company have similar issues but definitely not all.

This might be an issue with the emulator (I don't know), both SW/HW modes and ZeroGS plugins give the same exact output, though other Interchannel games work fine so far, those rectangles are present in the entire game similary to Sacred Blaze, it looks as if the region on the right side of the screen was cut, rotated, centered and blended over. Also some fonts are missing, dialogues and other are present, but it might be a different issue.

RE: GSdx - Granzon - 06-20-2009 07:20 AM
How about Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (US) (NTSC)? It is so slow when walking in towns/dungeons ~10 - 20 fps even with the latest revision of GSdx . I tried with PCSX2 0.9.6 + GSdxr1406 (no speed hacks + game fix activated for Tri-Ace games) and still the same with other revisions except GSdx 0.1.7.
With GSdx 0.1.7 moving/walking is ~50 - 60fps, but cutscenes so slow ~20-25fps however sometimes fast then slow down again during cutscenes, so weird
I know there is a visual bug in the Lost Forest, but it is not a big issue for me since that place is only short stroll anyway.
Could u please take a look at that Mr. Gabest
? Thanks

hi im bjcarol. im asking about the Plugins of the PCSX2 0.9.6 when we try to use the d3d hardware not software it doesnt have any effect. though we were using 9500 Gt GPU. but when we tried using the software its good but very slow. i dont think your plugins really that works at all..and i dont think it depend on GPU hardware. can any body help me what plugins must be use?.......send me pls in my email add blancojesusphilline@yahoo.com

+ ATI 4890, or the PCSX2 1386, or GSDX 1406, since I update all of these thing in oneday, and now FFX run at 38-45fps, which is impossible since this is the game has best speed on PCSX2, I tried underclocked AMD 955 to 2.8Ghz, and it stay the same speed, try using the oringal PCSX2 0.9.6 + GSDX 0.1.14 with no speed hack and speed hack on, the same FPS.What the hell are going on my computer?

RE: GSdx - shadow0000 - 06-21-2009 12:34 AM
Another minimal issue again, flashing FMVs on D3D9 HW mode, is really strange because the flashing goes off on HW by switching with SW with F9 and then return to HW again, I have seen this in other games, one of the Izumo games, and other HW FMV errors such as displacement (or some rare kind of vertical interlacing) I think on Popotan or Nurse Witch Komugi, but the FMV flashing is on a greater amount of games (similar to what happens to DBZ:BT3 PAL).
Attached a gs dump of Happiness! intro (I am not even sure if gs dumps of FMVs work).

In windows you have only 2 options available, ZeroGS and gsdx. You should try both and see for yourself which works the best, but a safe bet is gsdx will be the one, as it is far more advanced than ZeroGS (its like a night and day difference)

The latest version "GSdx-r1425.7z" breaks Sims 2....
The graphics on *move family into lot* selection page is completely screwed up and only shows a 20% of it so you cant even tell if your selecting a family or making a new one...
This is new to the latest update.
The game is:
The Sims 2 [SLUS_212.65;1; CRC = B67577F3]
Just to prove i aint making it up heres the screenshot using previous version of the plugin:
![[Image: sb01g.jpg]](http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2905/sb01g.jpg)
Now here is newest version:
![[Image: sb02.jpg]](http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3286/sb02.jpg)
Notice the differance?
Did i post this in correct place?
Note - I have been able to play Sims2 with no real problems (beyond what the PS2 experiances with it) the only true problem ive had so far is the plugin update which broke the graphics.

RE: GSdx - Wagnard - 06-23-2009 04:04 PM
Hi Gabest and great work for your plug-in.
I have a .GS file Ill like you to look at.
Its not a graphic bug its just this game (Bleach blade battlers 2 is verry slow in fight (the game is faster in SW than HW in most place) So I was curious If you could see place for optimization or not.
Here is the g.s files.
I have a GTX295 so its not the speed of my videocard. and from the rundll32 gsdx.dll ......gs the fps are low so the conclusion is that the slowdown is really made by the plug-in and not by the emulation itself.

that would only ever work for games which have existing "fixes" for alternate versions. You could in no way shape or form do a template for a new game which has never been added to gsdx as it requires adding code to the existing program, the CRC is merely a "trigger" to make this extra code run.

ZeroGS is much faster (has graphics errors unfortunately), so I feel that GSdx not working as intended with this game.
This has been mentioned once before,
but I am afraid it might have been missed by the people involved with this plugin(?).

Regression, there is some texture gap on the characters, barely visible on native res, this actually got fixed at some point (it was present on 0.1.4) but is now back, I could track it to r1006 where the characters are fine, and r1076 already showing the white gaps around the textures. Possibly related to some change in r1074/1075/1076 (I don't have those two builds to test).

[attachment=19516]
It will work in any dx9 mode using it with the gsdx plugin since its a dx9.dll modified tested it myself and it works.Just extract the two files to your pcsx2 folder(where the exe is located) and keep in mind that you'll want to disable it when in the menus by pressing SHIFT+F12 or it will make the menus overbright.Enable it only when racing and disable afterwards.This was at least for me a milestone (i tried everything to get the game working in normal mode)Here are some screenshots with and without the effect toggled by SHIFT+F12
[attachment=19511][attachment=19512]
You can adjust the effect yourself by changing the values in the enbseries.ini file
the screenschots ingame were made with values to fit me .I guess some of you may not like it .Feel free to adjust it then.

Did it break in r1412? That's where I fixed ffx2 by clearing the z buffer when it is written directly.
RE: GSdx - dralor - 06-25-2009 10:58 PM
No idea I didn't mess with this particular game using that build and the latest build overwrote it. If I can get a hold of that build though I can test it simply as that's the very beginning of the game.
However it does look like a depth buffer issue of some sort as things that are supposed to behind objects are visible.

This is a issue mainly with certain Tamsoft games, lots of trails on HW mode, particulary from 3D objects such as characters, though it happens on the menus (shadows?), as if something was not being cleared. It renders these games unplayable on HW at least.

It is as you say r1412 broke it. Funny i was playing this game just couple days before that... should have noticed

Try clean and rebuild GSdx.I compile it(r1425)without problems.
Well I meant to say, when you download 1425rev. from the first page instead having 1425 SSE2 version, you get 1412 SSE2 version (which broke some stuff in some games). SSSE3 and SSE4 versions were 1425rev. And sorry it was a bit stupid of me to ask for older rev.

Gran Turismo A-Spec PAL (CRC=b590ce04)
Direct3D9 (Hardware)
r1439 crashes after loading from memory card, r1426 works fine.
No GS dump as I'm unable to snap after it crashed
If I load my savestate (saved with r1426 I think) the console fills up with "GSdx: m_merge is NULL!" but only if I load it before the intro starts playing.
If I load it after the intro has started it just crashes, lust like with the memory card.
When the intro starts this appears in the console:
# Restart Without Memory Clear.
NTSC Display Mode Initialized.
Framelimiter rate updated (UpdateVSyncRate): 59.94 fps
# Initialize GS ...
# Initialize INTC ...
# Initialize TIMER ...

# Restart Without Memory Clear Done.

I thougt this might be relevant.
Almost forgot to mention if I run in software or Direct3D10 mode it works, actually configuring r1439 made r1406, r1426 & r1439 run incredibly smooth in DX10 mode, config cleanup?

That's why you never overwrite your old version,especially when the log of the latest revision is 'expect new bugs'.

Oh just of note I assume for now the DX11 is either a dummy that is copy of DX10 or is using the new features of DX11 that are compatible with DX10 cards?

it must be using the Dx11 reference rasterizer
RE: GSdx - dralor - 06-28-2009 06:32 AM
Software I bet but not hardware runs too quick. behaves almost exactly like DX10 and as no DX11 cards exist it obviously not running some of the special features but Gabest was really interested in the compute shaders which were supposed to run on the lower DX10 cards.

Yes, the latest Gsdx-r1442 makes Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (U) so really really slow when walking in a stage/place ~6 - 10fps. With Gsdx-r1426 this can be achieved around 20 - 25fps albeit still slow though.

Really? it runs for you? Gabest did say he was gonna make it the same as DX10 for now but I thought he didnt since when I try it just crashes pcsx2 here, nice to know it's at least running somewhere

In 1439 to 1442, Shadow of the colossus goes to a black screen ingame. The game still runs in the background, and if you go to the map, you can see everything again, but once you close the map and the map has fully closed, everything just goes black.

Works in dx10 mode. Just as your other gs dump. So its likely the dx9 z buffer issue?
RE: GSdx - shadow0000 - 06-29-2009 12:12 PM
Is there a known issue made of this ?. I have other games which also present similar issues Keroro Gunso missing half of the fonts on the memory card screen, similary to what happens to Aikagi.
It's been strange with fonts, games like Koihime Musou and Simoun (...no Remersion), require VU Clamp mode set to Extra, otherwise the fonts gets glitchy, both games seem use the same engine.

You have an entire collection of obscure games there it seems. Is it an alpha problem or is a texture filterling problem. As texture filtering seems to mess a lot with text on some games which is just 2D lines like that.

Is on native res, filtering seems to be deactivated by default on native since the texture gap fix, but is not ticked just in case, I use defaults to try to avoid mistaking scale artifacts.

It wouldn't be the only game, last time I checked Bleach Blade Battlers 1 & 2 worked faster on SW for me (12~ FPS HW / 18~ FPS SW / 4 characters), ZeroGS is even slower.
that means i just wasted 20 bucks buying it on ebay damn i wish i had money to buy a new lens for my ps2 so i could play it there tnx
my fps in hw mode is 8-9fps and in sw mode 15-18fps with speedhacks on so its still not playable tnx anyways

Ok so I tested Dragon Ball Z Sparking Meteor NTSC with all revs since r1285. It begins to break since r1341 (bloom appears). With 1357 there is a lot of bloom.
Since r14xx, the screen began to flash.
I hope I have helped to solve the problem.

GSDX DirectX 11?
I tried running it, but it always crash.
Windows 7 RC1, GF 8600GT, Intel E5200.
RE: GSdx - dralor - 07-03-2009 02:18 AM
I haven't had any issues on it on Vista and an 8800GT but I'm pretty sure at the moment it's pretty much a clone of DX10
RE: GSdx - Aemony - 07-03-2009 11:14 AM
In Seven RC Microsoft implanted the first working version of Dx11, with some of the new features available, but seeing as you only has a 8600GT you can't use Dx11. Don't try to use Dx11 until you get a Dx11 supported card. Stick with Dx10.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 07-03-2009 11:59 AM
It should work on 8600gt under vista too, must be a small bug that I'm not aware of. The SDK is still beta though, it uses d3d11_beta.dll, which vista does not have by default and windows7 has d3d11.dll I think.
RE: GSdx - kabooz - 07-03-2009 12:16 PM
it works on a 8600GTS... and that's the same chipset so it WILL work on a 8600GT ... but on vista the DX11 render is not selectable... it doesn't even appear XD I have the latest SDK though... so maybe that's needed
tested on Vista SP1 and WIN7 RC
RE: GSdx - dralor - 07-03-2009 07:01 PM
Well the previous SDK the November 2008 one it worked on until it so kindly told me that it had expired. Still works on March 2009. I just run it because I can really. But I have quite a few random sdk's from my programming classes that might be helping that lord knows.

Shadow of the Colossus still has black screen ingame on 1451, but when I make a .gs file, the problem doesn't occur when the .gs file is ran. I really hope this can be fixed. When the game is set into progressive scan mode instead of interlace, the screen is still black but there is some garbage at bottom right.

You are right, the SDK was needed however I managed to run it by placing d3d11_beta.dll d3dx11_41.dll and dxgi_beta.dll from the SDK in the PCSX2 folder.
Here if anyone wanna try it but it should be the same as DX10 anyway.

It's always been the same as far as I know, older versions let you chose Full screen resolution but that only worked for DX9 anyway and if you mean Alt+Enter stopped working then no idea as it still works here.

RE: GSdx - jacksterson - 07-04-2009 10:55 AM
I seem to be getting an error that others haven't been able to figure out. I've tested with both the stable and beta releases of pcsx2, and I still get this error when trying to use DX10.
I've installed all the prerequisites, and followed all the directions, including trying various different versions of gsdx, though all have the same problem.
I have just downgraded to Vista (from xp, lol), just so I can see this performance boost with dx10, I keep hearing about.
Anyways, I've attached a few screenshots, I hope they help.
I hope you can help me out, I really want to see if my machine is capable of running tenkaichi 3 at a playable rate...

Can you add back the ability to choose your full screen display resolution? It is automatically set to 640 x 480 60Hz. 648 x 480 doesn't look anyway different from the other display resolutions, but it is the 60Hz that is killing me. I get a lot of screen tearing, and if I use vsync I drop to 40fps no matter what.
Other wise good job on the plugins. I also hear that the ati problem was fixed. Continue the good work!

So well i keep using the new gsdx version and everytime i try to run it it keeps giving me a message saying please updte DirectX! Would you like to open the download page in your browser and i clicked yes.
Well it wouldn't let me download it everytime i keep doing it because i had to vaildate my thing and it wouldn't let me continue after that. By the way I have windows vista directx 10.
But it works for me when i use gsdx 9 but for most games i get 20-30 fps.

Gabest,
in r1402 or perhaps the 2 earlier revisions (unusable because of openGL code being added at the same time in r1375), there has been a regression in Xensaga I
Attached is the GS dump compressed, as well of a screenshot of whats happening.
It occurs in DX10 hardware mode. There also seems to be a significant speed decrease since r1372, but that probably isn't relevant, and I know its none of your concern.
If you would like i can upload a second GS dump of the scene in r1372, where it looks properly in DX10 HW mode.
Thank you for your time, I hope this helps.

That's a generic error message you get when the gs cannot initialize, could be anything, but it is probably related to directx.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 07-05-2009 01:52 AM
The speed of xenosaga1 is the same as r1363, it makes 3k+ drawing calls, that's the problem, setting up the states alone makes it slow.
But I'll check that background.
RE: GSdx - jacksterson - 07-05-2009 01:57 AM
I've been messing around with a few other emulators, and I've gotten the same error, though downloading different plugins have fixed that.
So either my computer isn't compatible with dx10, or your plugin isn't compatible with my computer ://

RE: GSdx - Djhg2000 - 07-05-2009 12:22 PM
Seems like some r1466 bugs still exist in r1467 & r1468, Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec (crc b590ce04) broke again (D3D9 SW or D3D10 SW).
I can go through the menus just fine but viewing a replay or racing result in a crash.
The part that worries me is that GSdx is completely silent (in console) before and during the crash, which makes it difficult to give any further information!
HW works just fine, as expected.
I also have a question on another (but related) topic; how much does PCSX2/GSdx benefit from the SSE4 instruction set?
I'm wondering this because my 3GHz Pentium E2160 & GeForce GTX 275 have plenty of power but still replays do lag a bit every now and then in GT 3, and racing is just barely playable due to the (lack of) speed.
I usually play in HW mode, tried optimizing with many settings but I quit doing that since most of the time it just broke stuff...
Meanwhile, I can see videos of other people running other games in full speed on slower systems, is it just that GT 3 is a really heavy game?

It did, even though it started in windowed mode, when you press alt + Enter while in game, it would switch the the fullscreen mode. I would use 75Hz so I didn't get a lot of screen tearing. The last version I remember supporting this was r1161 GSDX 0.1.15. Now, when I press ALT + Enter in the newer versions, it is automatically in a 60Hz video mode.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 07-05-2009 08:15 PM
alt+enter still works, but that's entirely managed by directx, I don't do anything to switch, can't control what mode it will choose.

Lots of trails on HW (dx9) mode, similar to Cat Fight (Fighting Angels) although the screen remains mostly black like with Eremental Gerad. Pressing ESC and resuming clears the screen but it gets again filled with trails, also switching modes with F9 back and forth has the same effect. SW mode works fine as dungsoftvnn mentioned.

what exactly does the new feature "enable 8-bit textures" do? do they increase performance when activated?
RE: GSdx - dralor - 07-07-2009 08:37 AM
From what I gather it decreases performance unless you have a nice videocard beyond that I'm not really sure. It might be one of those technically more correct but slower type things.
RE: GSdx - Shadow Lady - 07-07-2009 08:47 AM
Actually it can speed up some games, it can also break stuff tho.

Really minimal, there are lines or weird borders on the title screen, and text can be seen over objects that are actually on top, not sure if it's another z buffer issue. I am not sure if any of these are affecting other parts in the game.
Could you also include the bmp in the future? It's hard to recignize which gs is which after a while
The menu is a dx9 z buffer problem, dx10 looks ok.

The Blinking Error is back since r14xx, even with NTSC version (which I use). It begans with a bloom error since r1341 et now it's a blinking problems. Do you want a video of the problem ?
I checked the files. It's not a CRC problem.

The fix for true love story 3 makes those lines... The image is mapped from 0-257 (texture) to 0-256 (screen) with wrap around mode, last pixel should be read from something like (int)255.999... but with that fix it just jumps to 256 which wraps to 0. I don't know why they couldn't just map that damned image 1:1.

Hi everybody,
just wanted to ask if recording/capturing using F12 is currently disabled? I used GSdx (rev 1076) to record some scenes and everything worked fine. But in later builds (current SVN) when pressing F12 no output dialog appears and I'm unable to start recording.
Thanks in advance for your reply
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 07-07-2009 02:38 PM
It's been broken since gsdx started using key events from pcsx2 (the way it should be), but only f5-f7 are sent to the gs. One solution would be to create an on screen menu, the three function keys are too few.
RE: GSdx - Keksus - 07-07-2009 02:48 PM

So in some previous versions of gsdx, I wasn't being able to take screen shots with F8. With 1.15 that was fixed and I can do so, which is great. Thanks for that!
However, now the problem is F5 won't work for changing interlacing options while the emu is running. Any ideas?

You need to update your PCSX2 to latest beta or so to be able to use the f5-f7 keys with newer GSdx or just use older GSdx.

WA3 had the same lines on GSdx 0.1.4, it was fixed in some later revision, maybe is something not exclusive to the TLS3 fix ?

Unplayable on HW (dx9), only FMVs and the loading screen are drawn (which might also be a FMV), the screen remains with no updates showing the last drawn frame, pressing ESC or switching with F9 back and forth replaces that last correct frame but again there are no updates, basically there is no output on HW mode.

Since r-1472 the lighting in Shadow of the colossus has gotten quite inconsistent, quickly going from normally bright to there being no bloom for no apparent reason. Here's an example:
Dx10, software mode: [attachment=19777]
Dx10, hardware mode: [attachment=19778]
The second pic is obviously not in native resolution, but I can garantee the lighting is the same even in native.

RE: GSdx - seinfeldx - 07-08-2009 03:55 AM
Didn't test all the game but seems like invisible character on Onimusha is fixed at least in the begining of the game, in Onimusha 2 i really can't say since character became invisible after the event of finding the 2º weapon, have to test it better.
There something new in Onimusha 2 that didn't happen before in movie 3º image, flashing logo below and above movie.
Found a problem with latest revision, happen in FFX and i think some other game, happen when camera changes position but not always for exemple in FFX it happen 2 times after some seconds it disapears, on the other game it appears in same place of screen. This happen with dx9 and dx10 with r1473 and 1476, doesn't happen wiyh 1426, haven't tested revision between 1426 and 1473 yet.
Seems like intro and 1º video on Shadow Hearts not working perfectly like image is being dragged, something like frame 2 - frame 1 - frame 3, doesn't happen with 1426.
Still no change in grandia 3 problem with image when entering menu, but thats not very important.
1º image doesn't happen anymore on r1495 but 2º still happen.

You need to ripp your game with Alcohol 120% as an ISO and use an utility which name is something like "PS2 PAL 2 NTSC Patcher with YFix 1.06".
I forgot the link but google is your friend.
I think it will only lower the blinking effect. To make it disappear completely, use r1340 or older. With r1476, it's playable, but not perfect.
RE: GSdx - pedrosilvaa - 07-08-2009 01:21 PM
bug report. Tales of the Abyss [NTSC]. On those cutscenes where you press select and they start talking, background seems to be completely broken...check first image. This seems to happen since the rev. 1300+ (or near it)
EDIT: since it is a rather annoying bug i decided to go back on the GSdx rev. to a point where the bug no longer existed. On 1357 the bug is gone (see image number 2). So it was between 1357 and 1476. Sorry for not trying all of the GSdx, but there are just too much of them =P

"sceGsSyncPath: VIF1 does not terminate

This happens on PAL version of the game (I'don't know for other versions).

It's for games which use many textures, or just one huge texture divided into regions each having its own different palette but still counting as a unique texture on the video card.
There is a command line util from nvidia that can predict the fillrate from the pixel shader and a specific gpu, anything that is longer than a few instructions seem to decimate it. So, per pixel this new option is going to be a lot slower, it is only worth when the resulotion or the gpu speed allows it.
RE: GSdx - zero29 - 07-09-2009 09:52 PM
so, basically, don't use it if it's slower, right?
but what's up with the rest of the game? the fps drop during the shiva summoning happens regardless of the "allow 8-bit textures" setting, any idea why?
RE: GSdx - Matis - 07-09-2009 10:48 PM

Ghosting problem.
Tales of the Abyss(NTSC)

Two dumps attached.
I'm not sure if the following info is in the dump or not, but adding it anyway:
Resolution: 1280x800(obvious, given the BMPs)
No interlacing effect
Direct3D9(Hardware mode)
Logarithmic-Z enabled
Texture filtering enabled(greyed out)
8 Bit Textures disabled
Alpha Correction enabled
Wait for VSync disabled
Enable output merger blur effect disabled
Some speedhacks enabled, but not using them has no effect whatsoever(I only get 5 FPS from x1.5 Cycle, INTC, IOP x2 and WaitCycles in ToA. Funny).

4000+ drawing calls per frame, xenosaga has a similar problem. Simply the overhead of state changes is slowing it.

yeah, i know that it's a complex scene, otherwise it wouldn't be the only scene dropping below 60fps at all
but what made the earlier r1340 different/better to explain this huge difference to the newer r1479? i'd really like to know if there's a problem between ffx and later gsdx revs, which could be fixed, or if i have to live with it and continue to use the r1340 for ffx.
RE: GSdx - dralor - 07-10-2009 01:25 AM
The issue with state changes are very inexpensive on the PS2 GPU but not so on any modern GPU so it's an issue that will never really go away just masked with brute force. Unless state changes become less expensive as they go more towards a GPGPU core.
RE: GSdx - Zerkin - 07-10-2009 01:47 AM
It does that while I play "Shadow Hearts" mainly during fire attacks, or if there is a lot of characters on the screen (like in Shanghai) it will slow down a bit but nothing major. Other than that GSdx plugin and PCSX2 are awesome together. I thank you very much for all the time and effort you guys put into this.
In case people want to know my set up here it is, graphics anyways. (For Shadow Hearts)
First PC (laptop) - Windows 7 64-bit Intel Core2Duo T6400 @ 2.00GHz, 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS 512MB DDR2
GSdx 1476 SSE41 0.1.15
Renderer - Direct3D 10 (software) - Hardware puts lines into the game but during major graphical scenes like in SH the opening scene on the train hardware is the best.
Interlacing - Weave bff (sawtooth) seems to work the best no interlacing doesn't look too good.
AR - 16x9 my personal pick I like wide screen
SW rend - 1 if I even change this to 2 it screws everything up so I leave it be.
Vsync, Edge, and blur effect all checked

Checked with r1354 and it only does about 2000 at the peek in the same shiva summoning scene, I'll investigate it.
update: ok, I forgot it was switched to the sw renderer, but still the old build is about 5 fps faster with dx10 (35 vs 40).
I can see a few fps loss between 1406 and 1426, just can't find what is causing it, only the DATE effect was changed which ffx does not use there.
RE: GSdx - Kamelred - 07-10-2009 07:30 AM
Hi, first post on the board so forgive me if its not a proper report.
I've notice that there is a lack of 'blur smoothing' in the beta r1479 build compared to r890 released with 0.9.6 Pcsx2. I have screenshots of Dragon Quest 8 to show off what I am referring to but I also noticed the same difference in plugins in Final Fantasy X. Both plugins used are SSSE3 versions.
[r1479 DQ8 screenshot] [config]
[r890 DQ8 screenshot] [config]
The FPS boost in r1479 over the older r890 in DQ8 is very nice and helps smooth out certain rough spots in the game. But the lack of blurring makes reading text hard on the eyes with all the "artifacts" that are easier to see in r1479.
RE: GSdx - Klutz1133 - 07-10-2009 09:39 AM

Ah, thanks didn't know it being greyed out meant a third option. That will teach me to read the Guide a bit more carefully. However, there is still text artifacts even when texture filtering is checked and ungrayed so my assumption that texture filtering in r890 was helping in hiding it seems to be false.

Hi Gabest
I've submitted a bug about failed to record video using GSDX via F12 on bug reporting area. Issue still in GSDX 1479 by now.
Here goes the link:http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-8144.html
And original post there
Quote:Hit F12 and no Capture settings window popped up. can't record video even at the PS2 BIOS image nor in whatever games. only produce a wav file.
This issue exists also in GSDX r1442, while GSDX r1076 worked well.
all GSDX I mentioned here is the sse4 ones with pcsx2-r1445 I compiled under Windows.
I dunno. Maybe I got confused and should have posted GSDX related bugs here, not in bug reporting area, So that you can hear it.

Hi Gabest, I encounter a crash in Rogue Galaxy when using the 1476 drivers hardware DX10, all three SSE ones. This happens on both the latest public beta and the 0.9.6 release of the emulator.
Right after you get those two guys near the beginning of the game, it crashes while fighting those guys you are suppose to use your charge attack everytime. Another glitch is the glowing auras that are normally on chests are affecting the walls, doors, and stairs.
In Disgaea 1 and 2, while playing the game there would be a black screen showing up once in awhile. Seems to be random. It does this too in Rogue Galaxy during the game save loading screen, where it talks about what is going on currently while it loads.
I tried to do the GS dumps, but it isn't showing up in the directory for some reason. When I revert back to the drivers the 0.9.6 comes with the Rogue Galaxy doesn't crash at that scene and runs normally, as does Disgaea 1 and 2.
-edit- Would probably help if i posted a screenshot, lol. This is the glowing effect thats showing up on the stairs and doors when it's suppose to be on the chest using the GSDX 1476 drivers.

Lots of trails on HW (dx9) mode, similar to Cat Fight (Fighting Angels) although the screen remains mostly black like with Eremental Gerad. Pressing ESC and resuming clears the screen but it gets again filled with trails, also switching modes with F9 back and forth has the same effect. SW mode works fine as dungsoftvnn mentioned.
RE: GSdx - NoVaX1000 - 07-11-2009 03:39 PM
I'd like to mention that Timesplitters Future Perfect gets into the first level now o.o
But then when you try to finish the first level, the emulator crashes (Where an FMV is meant to load) D:
Can I also ask if it's possible to fix the Map on the temporal uplink in TimeSplitters 2 in DX9 Hardware mode? It shows it in software mode, but the whole screen is a bit garbled.
Screenshots later.

Hi guys.
I have a question regarding the Valkyrie profile 2 fix.
On my side, it seem I only got speed-up but still have the problem in hard-ware mode with the red scene (first place you go on the world map)
Is the fix intended to fix this red screen or its something else?
My game CRC is: CC96CE93
Thanks for your help.

HW (dx9) has really corrupted graphics on the title screen, almost looking like really bad tiling. For some reason changing between modes to SW won't fix the output until the game is booted from start, also loading a state won't work to fix the image. I made sure it wasn't a bug in the emulator by using ZeroGS and load a state with the bad output, and the image gets fixed, but it doesn't with GSdx.
More strange the output comes fine on HW if entering the game and then exiting to the title screen (maybe something is getting corrupted on the first load and gets cleared), while watching the intro has no effect title will still look wrong (but the real game didn't load at that point).

The state contains an already corrupted texture, it was probably uploaded there earlier which the .gs did not capture.
RE: GSdx - shadow0000 - 07-11-2009 11:17 PM
Would be better if I upload a block dump until the title ?
I have been uploading some .gs dumps were the replay differs from the original record, Erementar Gerad and Rozen Maiden GS files both flash when played, but I though it was a problem on my end, didn't know if a block dump would be better.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 07-12-2009 12:31 AM
Yea, a blockdump would be better.
When a .gs is flashing or blank it is usually because the game double buffers and the first frame buffer it displays is frame -1. Software mode can still show it from memory, but a d3d render target is cleared when first used.

Seems like the problem with some letters and numbers started happening between r1402 and 1425 on Persona 3 FES.
RE: GSdx - shadow0000 - 07-12-2009 03:18 AM
My bad with the Bomberman Land 3 Lens Flare, the flashing on HW was an issue by switching back and forth with F9, the effect is also done on SW, however it seems to not be present when the sun is partially blocked, maybe is being shown through objects in HW, but is really redundant.

Mash the start buttom to skip the intro, block dump lasts until the title sequence ends.

Then I'll try to add block dumps of those two, the .gs of those two don't only flash, 1 of the frames actually renders instead of being blank, or whatever is on top overshadowing in normal gameplay is just not there.

I still don't know, between 1398 and 1426 there are no changes that could be related to it, 1439 affected so many things that it's hard to tell which one is the reason.

It's an evil combination of FBA and write mask (0x7fffffff), only the MSB of alpha is enabled for writing, which FBA sets. This means the only thing drawing with this setting does is setting the MSB of the frame buffer. It breaks because there is no way to mask individual bits of the color components for writing.

RE: GSdx - NStorm - 07-13-2009 08:15 PM
I don't know if this was posted before - pretty obvious bug, but I didn't managed to find it:
Shadow Hearts: From the New World (Shadow Hearts 3)
(SLUS 21326, CRC = C3D28EB9)
PCSX2 r1474 (have seen this bug with various revisions)
GSDX r1495 (have seen this bug with various revisions)
OS: Windows 7 and Windows XP
Mode: DX9 HW, DX10 HW (bug doesn't appears with SW versions).
Description:
Minor visual bug. Preview:
![[Image: previewh.th.jpg]](http://img139.imageshack.us/i/previewh.jpg/)
Steps to reproduce: just enter any combat and call any action (attack will do) of player controlled character which shows a fate ring.
While in combat, when a fate ring appears the background turns to a messy texture (see screenshot, bug1), while it should contain a normal screen of battlefield in frozen state, like with SW mode. If I open a map before combat for example, the background will be a part of a map (screenshot bug2). If I try software mode and when for example try to pause emulation and switch to hardware and call a fate ring, when a partility visible screen from previous combat part will appear. Also during combat between charater's turns I can briefly see the same background blinking for less than a second.
I am not a programmer, but probably it is some sort of buffer, where the game should put a screen of battlefield to show it during fate ring rotation, but it just contains a various mess.
EDIT: I could also take a snap in the SW mode if required.
EDIT2: Also the similar background blinks for a while during various parts of the game on screen transitions.
RE: GSdx - shadow0000 - 07-13-2009 08:58 PM
Interesting, thanks for the explanations gabest, it also helps to distinguish different bugs with similar characteristics.
---------------------------------------
Not sure if it is of any help but Erementar Gerad and Rozen Maiden GG were both developed by Taito, though they seem to have similar problems the engine doesn't look to be the same.
Erementar Gerad - Block dump
Issue here, attached is a block dump only of the MC screen and loading screen, just plug-out the MCs to prevent it from pass. Anything further gets the filesize noticeably bigger, and the title screen is random, which difficults a block dump even more.

well, if the index order is the same as the order of the renderers in the drop down list in the gsdx settings window and if these index numbers start with "0", then "3" is dx10 hw for me. tried also "2" ,which displays no image, which fits to "directx9 (null)", and "4", which runs at native resolution, which would fit fine to the next entry "dx10 (software)". and there is indeed no "mpps" shown in the title bar. oh, and switching to fullscreen works.

You need to select a gsdx dll and a gs file, and while both are selected drag the DLL over the .bat you want (THE DLL, NOT GS)....and I think it won't work in folders which have a space in their name...

Known Bug. I think rama and company are working on it. =P
RE: GSdx - rama - 07-16-2009 01:56 AM
Yep, one of the problems of upscaling (which is basically a hack).
It needs to be hacked to look fine (ironic, isn't it? )
RE: GSdx - dralor - 07-16-2009 02:01 AM
I assume not only that but the ratio of the upscaling bloom shift for lack of a better term for it is different from game to game.

and2) you didn't give pcsx2 settings then
RE: GSdx - dralor - 07-16-2009 06:43 AM
Figured as much though games done by the same dev teams probably have similiar ratios as they found what offset they thought looked nice and likely stuck with it. But still there could be hundreds of ratios and that's assuming the that there is a function for calculation how much the offset changes with each upping of resolution. I also wouldn't doubt if there there are different ratios in the same game for different making it impossible to fix that game totally.
However you might get lucky and find a generally agreed upon offset that fixes most games as well.

RE: GSdx - gladiator - 07-16-2009 02:01 PM
Gabest, first thanks for your work in the graphic plugin that had improved a lot in latest months.
And i want to report a bug that another user said that was solved, but it wasn't.
The game: One Piece Grand Battle (USA) & One Piece Grand Adventure (PAL), they are different game but got the same bug in Hardware, but worked in software mode (but with slow speed). Those games always worked in software mode in previous versions of the plugin.
The bug said that was solved in this release of the plugin:
http://code.google.com/p/pcsx2/source/detail?r=1469
But in that version the bug is the same, and is still there in latest rev1495.

[attachment=19938]
It works fine with old version of gsdx, so this can be fixed for sure.
Works nice with gsdx10 0.1.40 . Any more recent gsdx version have this problem.
I've already reported this problem a long time ago (more than a year, I think) at ngemu. Still hoping that it will be fixed.
I don't see why we still have to juggle with different gsdx version .

HW (dx9) has issues with character shadows, log-z modifies the output but it will look wrong regardless, also the disclaimer and intro logos are wrongly displayed, only a rectangular area to the right side of the screen is visible (similar to Aikagi), is really minimal though (for some reason the .gs replays without this error).

HW (dx9) issues, scenary backgrounds are missing during characters conversations. The second is really strange first game I see with this, there is that flashing blueness on certain characters, turning on log-z affects it somehow, it brings the blueness over the fighters as well, instead of being behind them.

RE: GSdx - Bastille - 07-19-2009 02:53 PM
For some reason my laptop with Vista on it despises running GSdx with DX10 going. Works just fine with DX9, but not DX10. Wouldn't mind getting DX10 working in order to get rid of the remaining texture issues that exist in Persona 3.
RE: GSdx - seinfeldx - 07-19-2009 04:27 PM
Vista mean you can use dx9 or dx10 doesn't mean that you are using dx10 if the graphic card doesn't support dx10 than you won't be using dx10, even intel graphics on laptop that say it can use dx10 don't really support it because they suck.
RE: GSdx - Bastille - 07-20-2009 02:17 AM
It has a Geforce 8800M GTS in it so I would hope that supports DX10. It's listed as supporting DX10.

do you have the march 2009 dx update?
RE: GSdx - Bastille - 07-20-2009 05:50 AM
When I try to update, it says I have the latest DirectX. A potentially likely candidate might be my video drivers sucking immensely since they are proprietary in nature, or at least if I try to run the Nvidia auto-detection tools that it is what it says, and Gateway hasn't released an update in around a year and a half, and then thanks to being out of warranty, I'd have to pay money to tell them they fail with gaming laptops and find out just what I can do to upgrade them.

There we go, got it working. Updated the drivers to the latest one from the Nvidia site at the risk of something screwing up, though I doubt anything really changed when Gateway was releasing them as their own so it shouldn't be that dangerous.
Though now that I've gotten into it, I notice a few graphical errors surrounding numbers in combat when I use hardware mode as opposed to software mode.

Minimal issue on HW (dx9), the compass looks wrong, alpha seems to be ignored, it could be the z-buffer issue, I am also unable to replay the .gs.

well, with the newest GSdx (1538) there is a DX11 mode (Hardware), and it crashes pcsx2 when i try to run it.
doesn't explain why.
can it be fixed? is it a bug? does using that mode improve fps? DX10 mode still working.
specs:
windows 7 , build 7100
amd x2 4800+
gts 250 512mb
2gb ram

(just like on Dx10 >_>), but even though you were able to run it doesn't mean that it's designed run on Dx11 >_> (unless it WAS designed for Dx11 and you got it early )

I've successfully run DX11 multiple times on my Windows 7 machine. I actually use it as my main setting now.

I too use only dx11 at the time ... I have a 8600GTS... and up till now there is nothing that needs dx11 hardware
also the compute shader would be possible to use with dx10 and dx10.1 hardware...
RE: GSdx - refraction - 07-21-2009 02:39 PM
all Directx 10 hardware is forward compatible with directx 11. IF newer DX11 hardware (if and when it arrives) will be more efficient at processing it, it remains to be seen. But since the advent of stream processors, programming shaders to do what directx wants them to do has become much easier than the fixed functions provided by previous generations
RE: GSdx - kainmoore - 07-21-2009 05:30 PM
I'm on a fresh install of the Windows 7 x64 RTM build 7600 with DirectX updated via the web installer and both the November and May redist packs. My hardware is a Core2 Q6600 OCed at 3.4ghz, 4gb of DDR2 RAM at 900mhz, and a Radeon 4870 OCed to 800/1000. I've already installed the 2005 MS pack and have the 2008 x64 packs installed as well.
DirectX 10 works beautifully, however the DirectX 11 SW and HW versions crash PCSX2 without warning or message. Help?
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 07-21-2009 06:07 PM
GSdx uses dx11 beta from directx sdk, win7 has normal dx11, and they are not compatible. Maybe when the next sdk comes.
RE: GSdx - CentroX - 07-22-2009 01:34 AM
yeah DX11 hw crashes for me too, but DX10 hw works fine

RE: GSdx - zero29 - 07-22-2009 01:05 PM
just tested your new revision with my favourite gsdx game, ffx
sadly the fps is still in the 33 region with the test.gs i posted. i also tested the two modified sse2 versions from google code with the game, no noticable difference in terms of speed between those two, but the textures look odd with "gather", best seen on the text, but all textures have this dithering-like effect:
xpad 0.2.0 - arsenal - 07-22-2009 01:18 PM
Hello Gabest,
Firstly, I am sorry as I know I am posting in the wrong topic But I just want to catch your attention (as you seem to focus on this topic only
& you are XPad author). Also, there's no official thread for XpadI am using latest XPad 0.2.0. Every game works brilliantly except one (The Warriors). In this game, the control is very weird. When you push the left analog diagonally (such as to Upper-left-corner, upper-right corner), character does not run as he should when you push left analog vertically or horizontally. In other words, when the left analog is not moved 90 degree, character walks instead of running.
According to the game's default setting, character should ONLY walk if you slightly push the left analog and running all other cases. I am sure it's a XPad bug as it does not happen when I use Lilypad (manually assigning keyboard keys). However, the game can't be played with Lilypad since there's a chapter you have to slightly push the analog to make character walk instead of running
I hope you understand what I meant as it's quite hard to explain in words and easier to try in real game. I tested with NTSC version of the game, I believe PAL version has the same problem as well
Again, sorry for the posting in wrong place
RE: GSdx - refraction - 07-22-2009 01:41 PM
why didnt you just make a new thread called "XPad analog issue"? it would be much better than hijacking an unrelated thread.
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 07-22-2009 01:44 PM
zero29: ah, you have this new "8-bit textures" option on! that's for reducing texture traffic between the cpu and gpu, at the cost of a slower pixel shader, ffx isn't limited by the textures, this option will only slow it down.
arsenal: now that I think about it, when the analog stick is moved diagonally neither axis is at the largest tilt, they might just be below this game's threshold, I'm not sure what number is considered to be the limit for small movements on the real thing, and whether it is logaritmic or linear.
RE: GSdx - arsenal - 07-22-2009 01:49 PM
Gabest,
One thing is even when the analog already reached the maximum limit (go as far as it can to the far upper-left-corner or upper-right-corner). Character still walks and never runs.
Also, I tested on real PS2 with PS2 controller to make sure that the game works as it should
Edit: Oh, just see you edited your post. Now I understand what you meant. Hmmm, but strange while some games with similar issue like God of war works flawlessly.
Maybe the game is too sensitive to react to left analog?
Also I realised the Right Analog has the same issue

I mean at 45 degree x = xmax * cos(45), y = ymax * sin(45), x < xmax and y < ymax, but the game should interpret that correctly. Maybe xinput itself reports logarithmic values, so it's more like x = xmax * pow(cos(45), somevalue).

i only enabled it to test your dx10.1 improvement(s)
i don't use it when i play the game, for that r1398 (which doesn't have this option) seems to be the fastest on my ati card. the texture dithering effect is only visible when "allow 8-bit textures" is checked, it's a bit better with the unmodified r1549 sse4.1 version:
RE: GSdx - Gabest - 07-22-2009 02:12 PM
There is something still wrong with that, going to undo it until I can test it.
For me the fps of test.gs with the last fast revision is 41 fps, after that it dropped to 35-36, now about 40. (dx10, 8bit unchecked, native)
The funny thing is that to compensate the fps for the more complex but slower texture caching algorithm I had to speed up other parts.
RE: GSdx - zero29 - 07-22-2009 02:48 PM
well, the difference on my system between the 13xx and 14xx revisions is over 33% (51->33), seems that my ati doesn't like some of your improvements
but i have to add, that ffx seems to be the exception. many other games run at equal or higher fps with later gsdx revsions.another thing: the last revision seems to break the intro fmv of ff12 completely (software mode works), regardless of the "allow 8-bit textures" option or chosen internal resolution, the game itself seems to run fine though:

ATI problem was reintroduced in r1439. None of the following commits fixed that. In some games there is more than 200% difference. "8 bit textures" never worked well on ATI. All games I've tested with it runs on very low fps. It's impossible to play almost all games on ATI now.

now that's a bit harsh, dq8 e.g. is ca. 15% (50 vs. 43) slower on newer revisions, mgs3 almost exactly the same (60 vs. 60), gow1 seems to even gain some fps (45 vs. 48) with the later revisions on my system (all@1600x1200, no speed hacks). it's definitely not the case that gsdx is currently unusable for owners of ati cards, but of course, it would be great if the reason(s) for the fps differences between r1398 and r1439 could be found and fixed

MGS3 slowed down from 80+ to 30 fps

It would be possible.
Sometimes I wish there was a movie player like thing that can be stepped to show each drawing from the gs, along with the frame buffers, textures, vertices, states. Currently I save the images to disk and it takes so looooooong, and there is no decent image viewer that could give me a good view on color/alpha/z at a glance, not to mention 16 bit and palletized textures.

Plugin: GSDX rev1553 sse3, but i had tried with sse2 and the problem is the same.
My Windows Vista is x32.
Bug: The emulator doesn't even start, just crashes after pressing run iso, bios or run dvd.
I mean that doesn't matter if i run the emulator through bios or not, the emulator crashes with the latest version of the plugin (r1553). I'm reporting the bug of latest version of the plugin that's all.
FFXII Pal SLES-54358 (the one that i tested) got issues in the fmv sequences. I don't have the NTSC-U version of the game.
PS: I also tested it on the latest svn of the emulator r1554 and the emulator crashes the same with that rev1553 of gsdx. Other previous versions of the plugin works, but not that one...

FF-XII NTSC, no bugs, videos fine and smooth, even on 1920x1080
P.S. Disable Speed Hack
