Hey everyone !
First of all let me put a big thank you out there for all the PCSX2 developers, who have truly been doing a amazing jobs for over a decade now. I've been using PCSX2 since the 0.9.6 version, and I can't stop to be in awe when playing my ps2 game in HD with my xbox360 controller ^^
I've been thinking of a feature for quite a while now, a feature that I think could really improve the users experience when it comes to the configuration part. Chances are that you already thought about it though, if that the cases just ignore this post
The only pain in the ass when using PCSX2 is when you have to look for and try a lots of different parameters and configurations guides to make one difficult game working well. For example I spend a lot of time looking for the good parameters to make Soul Calibur 3 playable, and I haven't quite found them yet.
So, what would be very useful is a profil feature in PCSX2. You would load profile for a game, and it would automatically configure the emulator to the best working parameters for this particular game. No more ticking 10 differents parameters in 5 menus, and trying that a dozens time before finding something playable !
For this to work, it will need a team work with the forum: a new sub-forum could be dedicated to the profiles, with ONE thread per game. Users will upload the profile that works the best for them to share it with the community. The first post could even offered a "developers approved profile", but I guess you guys have more important coding to do on others part of the emulators
I think this would make PCSX2 even more user-friendly by greatly decrease the configuration time needed before playing a game.
Has this profile idea already been considered ?
