Help required, this idiot(me) needs it.

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:35:30 +0000

Yea so I installed and got my game and tried running the pcsx2. However, everytime I try to start, run cd/file It pops up game screen with nothing, telling me to add a game cd. And normally, by checking guides, its supposed to pop up a screen where I could choose what game img I could pick to play. In this case, it didnt. Just me? Help please.

Hi just thought I'd mention something I saw today that might be useful for users trying to get their computer specs for posts. It's called speccy, it's a BETA program by Piriform. I figured using that should be easier than hunting all over windows for different hardware specs. I thought you might want to add it as a suggested program in the Bug Report Forum Rules or something.
As for the subject name I figured I'd make it something that could be reused (especially if it becomes a sticky).

Board Language Settings

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:28:32 +0000

I have my language setting set to "English (American)" but it's not American English.

By this I mean the number 1,000 is represented as 1.000. Also my posts per day is 0,22 instead of 0.22, but my percent is still 0.06 and not 0,06.

Will this be fixed?

I am impressed with how PCSX 2 is coming along.

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:17:08 +0000

PCSX 2 is an emulator I have been keeping an eye on, since it's the only one I tried that actually ran a Playstation 2 game, albeit at 11 FPS, but at the time even that was impressive.

I just finished upgrading my Athlon 64 system to a Geforce 9500 GT PCI-E video card, and I got Twisted Metal black to run at around 42-45 FPS on version 0.9.6. Also, a solid 60 FPS in the BIOS. I'm amazed at this.

I'm not a coder, but I know the Playstation 2 is a complex beast, and the fact that you guys do this in your spare time... it's amazing to me how far PCSX 2 has progressed.

All I can say is keep up the good work, and thank you guys for doing what you do.

SHOUT!

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:05:12 +0000

This forum needs a shout box

That way, not only can we talk more about our fav games, but then the mods can ban people for putting crap in the shout box

Sounds like fun right?

A mistake in compatibility List

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:40:59 +0000

Hi
Please correct this mistake in compatibility List. although it is not very important :

Code:

Resident Evil Survivor 2: Code Veronica   SLES 50650   U

Must change to this one :

Code:

Resident Evil Survivor 2: Code Veronica   SLES 50650   E

Because there is no US [NTSC] Version for this game at all and it never released according to this site :

Code:

http://www.tothegame.com/search.asp?title=Resident+Evil+Survivor+2%3A+CODE+Veronica

PCSX2 wiki

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:22:10 +0000

So!.. After 3 days of work I made the stub I've promised earlier. It's the stub because it contains now only ONE useful entry (Drakan 2 on Windows). Please understand it was not my intention to invent or change anything here. It just crossed my mind that this Wiki will be much more of a database than the mostly uncategorized forums' entries. I asked about it here and there was no real answer so either it was up to me or just had to be dropped. I decided to make it happen.
It's nothing special to it, just a stub of a database. I'm already created some game articles (until letter 'G') and will add them until 'Z'. It doesn't really matter if they will be used or not but it helps the users not to spend much time trying to understand principles of Wiki. So, just find your game and modify the already present page making it meaningful.
And please correct my language while browsing the database!
Someone wanted to help me moderate, I'm not mush of a moderator because I'm always busy with other projects and cannot stay in one place for too long. So I will happily give you the required access but you must read some Wiki stuff first and understand a bit how it works (edit some pages, create some articles, look in admins' FAQs). Whenever you're ready, please PM me, but I don't think there will be many volunteers (moderatorship is a work after all).

Here are the links:

http://pcsx2.wikia.com/wiki/PCSX2_Wiki for the front page (the design is a subject to change of course it's also just a stub).
http://pcsx2.wikia.com/wiki/Drakan_-_The...s%27_Gates the only half-filled game page, please refer to it on how it can be done.
http://pcsx2.wikia.com/wiki/Help!_How_to...bute_guide A little additional guide you can find useful before edit the pages.

I'd like this Wiki to grow and fill up. But if this will end up in a deadend I won't shoot myself. It's just a try after all. The real users will decide if it's worthless or have a meaning.

(I will also update the first page with this text)

===

I don't know if it's already been discussed here, sorry if so but I cannot find such a thread. I am also sorry for my language it's not perfect (nothing is perfect).
I'd like to bring up the question about the PCSX2 wiki. As you see here http://code.google.com/p/pcsx2/issues/detail?id=357 this certain question has been postponed and hidden (and thus is forgotten) like it's the backburner of the development team. But it's nothing to do with the development nor it's required too much attention from the administration staff (no more than say these forums already have).
So what are exactly the pros of wiki for PCSX2? Simple:

1. Anyone of you will have the opportunity to make the wiki better just by correcting some misleading info, old screenshots or obsolete problem bypass method.
2. The full-featured PCSX2 encyclopedia. Even those users don't want to participate or contribute to the wiki will also have a great up-to-date (granted the wiki is well known) source of info on every their game they are playing or going to play or even are considering to buy. So it will be no more duplicate questions for 100th time, no more frustrations, no more annoyance. Everything is clear and correct (if it's not correct you can always correct it).
3. Less moderating troubles for the staff. Forums will be forums. People like to talk about everything. But when someone asks something and the answer is well known you can just show the link and that should do the trick.
4. Great browse/search capabilities. The forums will never have the categorized sorted info which is easy to browse or search. The info in forums is sporadic, biased and cannot be easily updated. Not like in wiki.

I cannot currently see any downside of this (other than some additional work for the administration staff).

As for the server, it can be done here on http://www.pcsx2.net as well as say on http://www.wikia.com (which is even better for it's required neither any server resources nor updates). The only things are to be done: some administrator have to create the new wiki (to have adm. rights to it), set up some pages in it (maybe make some templates for pages (see other wikis)) so users can do it easier) and finally come up with advertisement here on forums.

What's it for me and why do I care? As one of the community I like to have the good info on my games too (there aren't too many though).

For example I'm playing Drakan 2 (PAL) now. As you may or may not know this one is a tricky buggy bastard. So I'll outline main its problems:

1. It has the 'protection' for 'wrong' memory card. It means that you can SAVE only onto memory card from which you have loaded before. The game required to save at certain points hence if you load a save state (F3) and played for a while and after that you cannot progress because game's asking to insert a good memory card -- it's a bit frustrating at least. So warning: after the save onto memory card every save state is INVALID!

2. The emu crashes sporadically in certain places. But it's a rare beast, and can be ignored if you save your state often (F1).

3. When the game required you to save (when you're changing locations) and the destination location is new (you've never been there before) the emu does crash for certain (r1736) instantly KILLING the save slot you're trying to save to (there are only 4 save slots in this game). This is the major problem that almost prevented me from playing this game. But after some research I've found that 0.9.6 version does not crash (and unfortunately has some different problems with video stalling) and finally the r710 is good enough to do it without a crash video stall. So the only way to switch the current location to the new one is to save the game, load it in r710, switch location and load the result same in r1736.

4. Sometimes (rarely) the world becomes stripped from all actions: enemies are just standing and cannot be killed and you cannot land your dragon and thus cannot progress. I haven't noticed this on the original PS2 (although I haven't played for too long as I didn’t like the controls). The only method to avoid this is to load from the save slot. Warning: you have to save often and you have to change the save slots often.

5. The controls in this game are AWFUL! I've been able to set lilypad the way they are at least bearable (aiming the arrows with mouse and strafing with the ALT key).

My point here is that this information is not only valuable for me but for anyone wants to play Drakan 2. Also this info can change anytime the developers update the emu so it would obsolete in some parts (or can become incorrect altogether) and no one will be able to update it but the players. And until they do not have the way to correct or update the information, it will be unavailable for the others.

So what do you think about this idea? Of course it is just a suggestion nothing else. You can just ignore it after all. Not a problem on my side.

Compatibility list updates

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 06:43:12 +0000

The CL could use an overhaul.

1. some of the compatibility info is incorrect.
2. i can has compatibility for different emu versions?

Maybe you could switch to a community-review like system for determining the compatibility? You guys are working hard enough as it is, and i think lots of users would gladly help out in determining compatibility.

Also, having - let´s say - 3 columns for 3 different versions of the emu would be helpful as some games change compatibility and people could see easily which games are playable/tested on which versions.

Thanks alot for providing me with the possibility to finally play final fantasy 12!!!

Delete old threads?

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:15:16 +0000

is it just me or is the website a lot slower and sometimes you have to wait like 8 secs before it goes to subforums?

if so, delete old threads to get back space again?

I'm interested in the compatibility of a game not listed in your compatibility list

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 21:37:10 +0000

This is feedback about the game compatibility list on the main site. I saw your compatibility list but it did not have a game I was interested in. The game I wanted to try to play is Evangelion Battle Orchestra, also known as Neon Genesis Evangelion Battle Orchestra. It is a Super Smash Bros style fighting game based on anime TV show Neon Genesis Evangelion. Before I waste my time downloading a torrent of that game, I would like to know if the game is even compatible with this emulator. Can someone add this game to the game compatibility list please?

64 bit version?

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 18:54:39 +0000

Will there ever be a 64-bit windoze build of the emulator?

Emu suggestions ....

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:53:24 +0000

This thread is about pcsx2 feature suggestions/discusion.
If you have a good idea for a pcsx2 feature, mention it in this thread.

Note from pcsx2 Team: This is not a support thread, and "Fix this game" is not a feature request. Users spamming this thread will be warned.

(first sorry for my english XP)
Hi, just a quick suggestions for the emu, that I think would be GREAT! X3

1. It would be great if the emu had a Game menu (like Pj64), where there is a list of the games you have, also you can choose wich plugin you want to open them with. (like next to the name or somethin)., like a more dynamic CONFIGURE option so it saves your settings.

2. An option to save your settings of "X" game, so it remembers the speed hacks, game fixes you enabled, graphic options and audio. (like dolhpin does), and its implemented in the game menu.

3. An option to start Valkyrie profile 2 in progressive mode, because im too lazy to push X +

maybe im asking too much, I dont know ....

Ohh and BTW. Thank you guys for this awesome Ps2 emulator!

Errors on Official English guide

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:35:04 +0000

Found errors on Official English guide when translating.

GSdx

Quote:First of all GSdx comes in 3 versions,SSE2,SSSE3 and SSE4.

SSE4 supporting CPUs: Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn series, meaning the E7xxx and E8xxx models for dual cores and the Q9xxx models for quad cores

There SSE4 should be SSE4.1
(originally found in Spanish guide, thanks to that)

Quote:NLOOP 0 hack: This fixes some problems with Final Fantasy X. It is a very specific hack and should ONLY be used with Final Fantasy X.

There "NLOOP 0 hack" should be "NLOOP hack" as displayed in GSdx 890 shipped with official PCSX2 0.9.6

in addition to Final Fantasy X, this option should also be used with FINAL FANTASY X-2 to fix missing textures.

ZeroGS

Quote:Wireframe rendering: ...
You can toggle it while running a game by pressing and holding "shift" then press "F6".

Indeed, press F7 to toggle it.

Quote:Capture avi: You can capture a video of your gameplay just like the GSdx plugin. Press "F7" and a window will appear for codec selection.
...
Press ok and the recording process will start. Press "F7" again to stop it.

There F7 should be F12

Question regarding development.

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:35:54 +0000

Soo...I've got a question for the coders of the project.

This is >not< one of these "OGM WEN WILL B TEH NEXT RLEASZE"-questions.
When in the development do you decide that a release is worthy of being called an ...uhm...let's call it stable release...like 0.9.6 without any beta / svn / revision stuff?

What criteria is there?
