The default setting is “ 2 - Safe (faster)”. Look towards the bottom left for this slider shown below: First, access the video plug-in settings by going to Config > Video (GS) > Core GS Settings, as shown below: PCSX2 makes adjusting game performance very easy with a simple slider.
#PCSX2 REDDIT WINDOWS#
Maybe if you're on a Windows tablet or a budget laptop, you'd need to make use of the speed hacks if you find that games are running slow. The default settings are fine for most people. With today's computers you don't need to use PCSX2's speed hacks.
#PCSX2 REDDIT DOWNLOAD#
Download the BIOS if you haven't already, unzip it, and drag its contents to the BIOS folder. Note the path where the BIOS folder is located.
#PCSX2 REDDIT INSTALL#
If you installed PCSX2 with an install wizard, you'd open it by going to your Start menu (your programs list) and open up PCSX2 there.
You might find better ones out there if you Google around. Note that you don't have to stick with the plug-ins that come with PCSX2. This controls the HDD (hard disk drive) and Ethernet emulation.
Thanks again, Voka.PlayStation 2 emulation revolves around the plug-in system.
If I've not bothered enough, do you think the settings you recommended will work for my specs or should I tweak them in the pcsx2 version you were talking about? These are the video settings I used in "1.5.", if its of relevance: And some fire effects are missing for some reason. If it helps to troubleshoot the flickering issues I was having, it was mostly in Momett's Chamber o' Fun and Joilant, which is funny cause my crappy laptop ran it fine on v1.0.0, and the sewer water in Volk. Does the game version and BIOS even matter? My monitor's res is 1080p, would upping the game's resolution help image quality? At 1920x1080 it ran smoothly at constant 60 FPS, but I had to change it to 50 in Volk and Dark Sea of Tears because it freezes when I enter areas with fire effects (I guess), running the EU version of the game and BIOS. Now, which pcsx2 version has the patch, "pcsx2-v1.5.-gfa4ae7800" ? Sorry, I didn't get that.Īs for my specs, I have 16GB RAM, my CPU is an i5 9600k, and GTX 1070 for GPU. That's interesting, learning this stuff is fun. Hehe, looks like it'll take some more years until those crazy good GPUs become affordable. My old Phenom II x720 was able to run Klonoa 2 just fine so cpu for me and this game is secondary. Both of these have a video encoder that can record 8k30 in at least h265 HVEC and I want to make 8K Klonoa videos. a Titan RTX would be absolute best in theory. And a 2080Ti which costs as much as a freaking car. A fully overclocked Intel I9 9600K or higher because pcsx2 only uses like 3 threads Or wait on AMD Ryzen 2 cpus. even if I had to just rent it for a while. To get those crazy smooth screenshots I have to set the gpu plugin to really high resolution settings and then push my gpu to death while trying to keep it from overheating. I've been trying at it on and off for a couple years. Also turning on MTVU "Multi Threaded Micro VU-1 Should also help speed up the emulator some.Īs for an ultimate perfect way to run the game. They have since added it in with the default patches.ĮE speed you can change here.
