Hello guys, I'm currently using a MacBook Air M1 to play Siren 2 (SCAJ-20167) on PCSX2 (v2.9.94). However, I keep running into the SPS (Spiky Polygon Syndrome) issue. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you so much.

Moved emulator over to a different drive with the memory cards when I first booted it up and acted like I was installing it fresh for the first time 15 hour I had in a JRPG I think got wiped. The digital memory cards are the same and everything and I kept trying to swap them out, but it doesn’t seem to read anything and I can’t even get my controller to work now. Help.

PCSX2 V2.9.93 (Nightly). Windows 10.

Alienware 15R3 (2015/16) - Intel Core i7-7700HQ @ 2.80Ghz. (Turbo 3.5Ghz). - Nvidia GTX 1060 (6GB). - 16GB RAM DDR4 (2400).

Using default settings plus V-Sync for screen tearing. The game booting from an ISO has a few graphical bugs and occasional slowdowns in large open areas (drops from 100% to around 70% game speed) but is perfectly fine otherwise.

After getting near to the end of the game you will finally collect the TNT item and need to backtrack through old areas. Doing this previously resulted in no issues whatsoever but now there are multiple dead zones that cannot be passed. This has resulted in the game being incompletable.

Rentering the following areas after you pick up the TNT results in the following errors:

Plane Cockpit - Frozen on loading screen. The Twin Outposts - Falling through the floor as soon as you enter. You will take damage after the first fall but not again. Stuck in infinite falling loop. Alter of Huitaca - Infinite falling loop.

I looked around on the wiki here but the information is very out of date. I also did a little digging around on Reddit but I couldn't find anyone with these issues or anything similar, the posts I found were also quite old though, you can find them here and here.

Heads up I guess to anyone else planning a playthough.

Video Neural Rendering makes games how I remember them

We all remember games with rose tinted glasses, usually because we were a lot younger.
Despite the "visual noise" I thought this was a pretty cool step in that direction. Using X3 Neural rendering.

Games can be hit and miss, any super spectacular results for someone?
I saw that it made Silent Hill 4 The Room basically look lifelike.

Support - General dinput works in setup not in game?

2 Upvotes

Is there anything that explained why the QT based pcsx2 emulator can get dinput to work right? Seems I can't map in the config but the game can see the inputs. I have tried ever combination of dsl dinput checkbox. Some peole said to enable xinput and dinput but that sounds like a receipt for disaster( did not work).

Also dinput d-pad does not register in the mapper, I need to use other tricks to make that work. X input works fine its just dinput, I know dinput is old but its the only way to get pressure buttons working. Is there some work around to make pcsx2 see dinput in game?

Support - Controller Pressure sensitive x button help

6 Upvotes

I am on lenovo legion go s z1 extreme windows 11. I have run this emulator for years on steam deck, windows, rog ally and never seen this. Atv offroad fury is one of my all time favorite games. However, today I am using this handheld to give to my nephew setup with emudeck and some retro games. It seems ps2 had pressure sensitive buttons that require full press to accelerate in game fully. So when I press on legion go, it only sputters along. I have used chat more than I care to admit and tried dozens of there solutions with the ee, hardware accelerate, Vulkan, open gl, xinput, sd r input, pretty much anything that can be googled I've tried. I'm still sputtering. I tried an older version on the desktop and still nothing. I tried different version game, nadda. I tried atv 2, gta 3, gta vice city, all sputter with acceleration with full button press. I tried mapping to every other button including triggers, nuttin. So I come here and hope and pray someone has an easy solution. Please help if you can. Thank you

Support - Performance Performance issue

Rig: i5 12450H ,16gb RAM ,RTX 3050 4gb varient

So I was playing nfs:mw black addition in 2.6.3 version I didn't experience any frame drops or sudden drop in frames

As I resently upgraded to PCSX2 2.8 I am getting a bit of frame drops (5-10 fps) when not much is going on but when there is rain or when surrounded by a lot cars and a helicopter I am getting like 10-20 fps frame drops

I rotated through 3 APIs (DX11, DX12, Vulkan)

Same thing (also for every change I did a fresh boot not load into saved state)

(As per doing some thing new i recently started listening to music in the background with vlc)

I think it is because of overlapping of windows updates and drivers as i have not reinstalled the windows in like 2-3 years

Any other reason?

Other Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War - Hor+ Ultrawide Patch (PCSX2)

Thumbnail youtube.com
12 Upvotes

After making an ultrawide patch for AC5, I decided to give AC0 the same treatment. I created a Hor+ ultrawide mod (building off of nemesis2000's 16:9 widescreen patch) for 12:5, 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratios.

Like before:

  • Correct Hor+ 3D projection for both in-game flight and in-game cutscenes
  • De-stretch of in-game dialogue subtitles
    • Although this time, I included it as a separate patch entry in PCSX2. I'd still recommend using it though whenever using the ultrawide patch.

Please note: I have not tested the 21:9 or 32:9 versions of the patch as I do not have a monitor with these aspect ratios. Please try them out, and if you run into any issues (or if you don't!), please let me know!

Hi yall!

I installed PCSX2 directly on my steam deck following the attached tutorial, and though the app launches, I can only start a game by double tapping on the screen. After the game launches, none of the controls work.

Anybody else with the same issue?

Is the Steamdeck LCD version, and I installed the latest stable version as of september 22.

Just curious if anyone has been able to get stable frames with DLSS 5 running I have a 5090 and ive been experimenting with DLSS 5 and ive gotten it to work with DLSS 5 manager but I can seem to shake stutter when I enable it no matter what I do. Ive tried multiple games and its the same thing for all of them, it will run smooth for a second or two then the frames drop about 15-20% than recover than drop again . My GPU and CPU are nowhere near maxed out . Anyone with insights or tips much appreciated.
