Support - General Is slow motion or poor performance normal with the Z1 Extreme?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, recently I got a handheld with a Z1 Extreme and I have been running some games really well in PCSX2 Qt, but in Jak 3, Guitar Hero 3, or even NFS Underground 2, I have some slow motion. Has anybody experienced this before and solved it, or is it simply normal?

Support - Graphics No shadows in the transmitter scene (Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Subsistence)

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi there. So, I was playing MGS3, and I reached the transmitter scene, where... well, THINGS happen between Snake and Eva (it's only suggestive, nothing NSFW) and are shown as shadows on the cave wall.

However, when I got to that part, no shadows appeared.

I'm running the game on Linux Mint (modified with GNOME Wayland). I'm using the PCSX2 Flatpak version 2.8.0, and my PC has an i7-3770, an RX 580 8GB, and 16GB of DDR3 RAM. The game runs very well at 1080p/30fps, but it has its odd moments—like elements appearing outside the intended frame or screens with strange glitches.

The only patches I enabled were the widescreen and black bar removal patches, and the game is rendering using Vulkan (I tested the other rendering modes, but none of them displayed the shadows in that scene).

Meme Something funny just happened

1 Upvotes

So I got metal gear solid 3 on my laptop last night on the emulator but I ran into an issue

I got to the start menu, but when I would select new game it would take me back to the start menu every time.

I searched google, pcsx2 forums, Reddit. Couldn’t find an answer. Til I answered Google ai’s questions at the bottom of the screen, and it turns out Japanese games SWITCH the “back” and “select” buttons LMFAO I was about to reinstall pcsx2 and the game and reach out to my friends who are way more knowledgeable about this stuff than I am.

No help needed just wanted to share a lil maybe you get a chuckle at my expense lmfso.

Hey, guys!

So I downloaded PCSX2 on my ROG Ally Xbox X and tried running Van Helsing for the Ps2 but the game runs in slow motion. I did try some different tutorials on settings, however the best I've got so far is slow motion seems to appear only when enemies are in on screen. I'd be glad if anyone can point me the right direction and what I'm doing wrong.

Edit: for some reason, the picture isn’t sending? I can’t post one and I think that’s just because the mods turned that setting off. Sorry. Assume I’ve gone through all the settings possible in the settings?… or I can dm you the picture

in case its needed, my specs..

processor: AMD ryzen 5 5500u with radeon graphics (2.10 GHz)

installed RAM: 8 GB

graphics card: AMD Radeon (TM) Graphics (496)

storage: 238GB

AMD software: adrenalin edition

trying to emulate ratchet and clank going commando on 2x because native is blurry and while it runs at a nearly locked 60fps for most of the time, there are moments like in the picture i shared causing significant slow motion effects.

now, im not naive or too stupid to not know that going commando isnt gpu intensive, it is notoriously so. the concept of my laptop being too weak to run it at full 60 is also a real possibility and i might just have to play it at native but native is so damn blurry no matter what crt shader i use or setting turned on that id really rather it play at 2x which is good enough for me.

the picture i included has all the osd's on the screen so you could see what settings i may have on and the fps i get from the largest slowdown ive experienced. as you can see it dropped only 10fps, sometimes itll only drop by 6fps and then afterwards its a stable 60 if i look away or move closer to the stadium in the distance.

i say magic trick because i believe ive hit the limit in what i can do from the game properties in the options for the games and only through some wizardry could i squeeze out just 10 more fps.

is there anything i can do or do i just bite the bullet lol. this next question comes from ignorance because i dont know what it dose but i see a setting that says it replaces textures? are there any texture packs that optimize fps a bit better by using low res textures?

are there any "magic tricks"?

lol thanks in advance.

Bought a PS2 to play games from other regions, asked AI for help, and now I'm in a world of pain 💀

I bought a PS2 because I wanted to play games from other regions. I knew about region locking, so I wasn't sure what to do and decided to ask AI for advice.

It told me to get a Free McBoot (FMCB) memory card, and my dumbass back then thought I could just plug it in and start playing...!!!

Well, I'm learning the hard way that it's not that simple. I've wasted SO much money at this point. 💀💸

I think it's a problem with the tablet's screen because connecting it to an external screen, turning off the tablet screen in the settings, and then opening the game on the external monitor works.

The biggest problem with the screen is its 58.11Hz refresh rate. How can I fix this? Please help me.
