Like everyone else, I'm smart enough to know that perfect accuracy isn't useful atall, in fact its now proven to be harmful to people who just want to play PS2 games with accuracy thats good enough.
Its a PS2, perfection is a sub 500p emulation on a 4k TV if you actually want 'true accuracy'... seeing as every single person using PCSX2 is going to upscale and the half screen fix categorically works for sharpening and cleaning up the blur/post processing artefacts that are present after upscaling, proven by the screenshot in the OP, then it stops being a hack as it produces desirable results by removing upscaling artefacts which 100% of users will upscale
so at that point its no longer an accurate PS2 emulation anyway because its being upscaled, so why remove an optional component that has no bearing on other games and I dont know if you noticed the game specific settings? its quite a smart idea. as soon as you upscale, it isnt an accurate emulation.
emulating a turd is only worthwhile if you can remove the smell and polish it up a little bit, if you want to accurately recreate the results of the vindaloo down to what comes out the other end - the part nobody wants - you're part of the ever growing community of the lonely IQ club
and what is it with you adullts that I provide incontrovertible proof and you say the fix wouldn't likely produce those results? I have a steam deck with identical, copy/paste settings as my laptop - where the screenshot above came from - apart from this hack and it looks like warm garbage on the deck with the 'accurate' vaseline/crude oil streak post processing affect and noticeable blur on every other game I've tried which the half screen fix removes.
'go compile your own build' good to know you really care about the people using the software, go identify as something smarter... a stick of celery would be your best bet. and if I understand you correctly, the developer doesnt owe the community anything? because he would still be working on this emulator if noone used it right? people using PCSX2 is motivation to continue development, otherwise it would have died long ago, money isnt the only currency in play in the world my friend. I appreciate the hell out of the work thats went into it but ignoring the users of it is AAA developer territory.
I'll leave you adullts to stack n' jack over how accurate a PS2 running at 4k resolution is, if you can manage it, please dont pi$$ in the gene pool, there's already 7 billion stains that are really hard to get rid of.
adults, dont make me laugh, its like watching kids cosplay being grown up
Does that mean you're leaving ?
Perfect. Back to real business, then.
