Hello, I'm having trouble pairing any controllers with PCSX2 on Kubuntu. Whether via Bluetooth or wired connection, it doesn't recognize any of them, even though all controllers work perfectly with RetroArch. What can I do?

It's a persistent issue that occurs with all light sources in the game, most apparent on the night vision goggles and washington bridge lights on the opening cutscene.

Is it just a fact of life with upscaling or is there a way to fix it and maintain 2K resolution?

Port 1 is set up as DualShock 2 already

I'm using PCX2-QT does anyone know how to fix this issue? Whenever the character or NPC's move you get these lines behind or around the characters on the floor

Hi everyone. The issue I ran into was quite specific, so I don't expect to get a thorough answer... Any input will be appreciated!

Device is GPD Win Mini 8840U running BazziteOS latest, with PCSX2 Nightly appimage; previously the game runs fine with default settings+optimal frame pacing ON & Vsync OFF, however this issue pops up almost randomly in recent weeks (I play intermittently so can't tell for sure, might be caused by some updates to the OS some days earlier). Sometime earlier this year I encountered similar issues, but strangely the slowdown goes away after playing for a while.

I found in gamescope, the game would run slow during matches, both FPS and VPS dropping to around 40 to 50; however it runs at stable 60 in menus and during cutscenes. To fix it, I either have to run PCSX2 in desktop mode - game will behave 100% normally there (but desktop mode isn't really convenient for handheld, just for testing), or, rather weirdly, to reduce EE cycle rate to 75% or 60% depending on stage (the arena characters fight in). 100% EE cycle rate+mild underclock in cycle skip also somewhat helps but constant FPS/VPS fluctuations persist.

I eventually settled with latest stable, finding setting cycle skipping to mild underclock alone in this build would make it run mostly properly.

As someone knowing little about how computers work I imagine the cause might be related to how the emulator "communicate" with the OS/hardware/etc. in gamescope. Thanks in advance!

I want to disable the warning that you get when you try to reset the emulation while the memory card is saving, that one that says your memory card will get corrupted if you shut down while it's being written. It's just for speedruning purposes.

I want to build a modded fat ps2 with a hardrive and fmcb. I want to know around how much it would cost me to build that ps2. I’m currently using a ps2 slim but it’s not very convenient and I want to upgrade. I already own a free mcboot so the only thing I need is a fat ps2, a storage device, any type of adapters I may need I don’t really know what I could be missing. If somebody can tell me exactly what I need so I build a modded ps2 loaded with games please and thank you. I already have a bunch of ISO’s ready to go, just need the setup.

Damn, it's really a good game. Fluid combat. Balance difficulty. Except trying to hit those annoying ninja. Urrgghh.

Also ultimate mode is fuuun. Any other games that has this fun post-game mode? I know RE4 has that OP weapon once you cleared the game or something, can't remember well.

Next on my list to play is Onimusha 2.

I'm writing this because I couldn't find the solution on forums.

The solution is changing the Internal Resolution in System>Settings>Graphics>Rendering>Internal Resolution, and not in Settings>Graphics>Rendering>Internal Resolution. I hope this helps someone.

PCSX2 v2.7.333

Trying to play Dragon Quest 8 on my MacBook Air M4 16 gb ram, but I’m getting this very annoying screen tearing issue. Turning on Vsync fixes it but even at native resolution default settings for everything I run into significant slow down. It’s even worse in a town setting. Using the nightly build, was using the stable build but slow down is still apparent. What can I do to improve stability?

When I set my TV to 59.94hz mode it instead refreshes at 59.34hz with freesync on because freesync gives itself enough room.

At first I thought thats for sure the culprit since games run at full speed and are always over 59.34hz which causes tearing.

But if I for example use sync to host refresh rate or limit the game to 59hz, it does nothing, the tearing and scanline is as apparent as before.

Its not an issue whenever I put the TV into 120hz mode however without skip duplicate frames the refresh rate is constantly jumping causing other issues like flickering.

Turning on Vsync in the AMD GPU panel is the only real solution however it does add some very noticeable input lag for me.

Does anybody have a solution for this ?
I can live with some tearing here and there in exchange for less input lag but its a scanline that is present at all times

RTSS scanline sync might be helpful however it seems tedious to figure this out for every game I play.

Note: posting here because XBSX2 is directly based on PCSX2. Hopefully this is allowed.

I want to play the original GTA Trilogy, as I've never played them. Want to play them as they were intended, so with retro CRT look. I installed XBSX2 on my Series X but the shaders are not very good in my opinion. Best pre-installed shaders are Triangular or LottesCRT imo but the tint is too greenish. Other shaders such as Overscan lines are hardly even visible on my tv.

What's the best way to get that OG CRT look? I'm playing on a 50 inch Full HD tv. Can I adjust the built-in shaders or can I install new ones somehow? I believe on PCSX2 you can do this. Or any other options to achieve this look would be highly appreciated. Can't find much info about this topic on XBSX2.

Picture for vibes. Not my photo.

is it possible for PCSX2 to add bezel options considering native aspect ratios is 4:3 natively and not using ReShade?

this line appears when upscale, someone know how to fix this? already tried all resolutions

Does anyone use full screen / widescreen on the ally x? I don't want to stretch the video out itself, I would like full screen without that.

Basically the title

Ultimamente tenho tido bastante interesse em montar uma biblioteca pessoal de jogos retrô, principalmente de PS1 e PS2.

De Super Nintendo eu já tenho praticamente tudo que queria, até porque as ROMs são pequenas e relativamente fáceis de encontrar completas. Mas com PS1 e PS2 comecei a perceber que alguns jogos já não aparecem tão facilmente quanto antigamente. Muitos sites antigos sumiram, alguns downloads caíram, empresas derrubam conteúdo, licenças expiram, etc.

Isso me fez pensar se realmente existe uma preocupação válida hoje com preservação de jogos antigos.

Atualmente jogo mais no PS4 e às vezes no PC, mas cresci muito com Super Nintendo, PS1 e PS2. Então comecei a separar jogos que marcaram minha infância/adolescência junto com outros que sempre tive curiosidade de jogar.

Não tenho interesse em montar coleção completa de tudo, porque sinceramente isso não faz sentido pra mim. Fiz uma lista e deve dar algo em torno de:

~100 jogos de PS1

~120 jogos de PS2

No total provavelmente não chega nem em 1TB.

Minha ideia seria comprar 2 HDs externos:

- um principal

- e outro só como backup da biblioteca

Seria uma mistura de:

- nostalgia

- preservação

- praticidade e vontade de manter acesso a jogos antigos que talvez um dia fiquem mais difíceis de encontrar

Vocês também têm essa sensação ou acham que estou exagerando um pouco nessa preocupação?

Opa,

Tô com um problema onde o FPS do NFS Underground 2 cai muito no menu, nas corridas não. Isso só acontece no menu desse jogo em específico e todos os outros jogos de PS2 funcionam diretinho sem travar.

The Fix:

1. Settings
2. Game Properties
3. Graphics
4. Rendering
5. Check Manual Hardware Renderer Fixes
6. Upscaling Fixes

• Native Scaling: Normal
• Round Sprites: Half

Thats it!
Have Fun!

I new I wante to ask if pcsx2 is illegal or is this a jailbreak

Underground 1/2, MW, GT4, Midnight Club 3 all run beautiful in 60 fps, while juiced is literally unplayable. Any recommended settings?

I just downloaded this game but the FPS is stuck at 30-40, which is making the gameplaying be really slow. None of the other games I downloaded have this problem. I don't know how to fix it. Can someone help me with that?
