  • The PlayStation 2 is an old system, yet some of the games were quite graphicallly impressive ,at least 15 or so years ago. But how good can you make one of the best looking sixth generation titles look when emulating it on PC, and how will it perform?
    Thanks for watching :)

      Nah, that kills the fun factor, it's much more nostalgic to play the genuine games with a real console. These days I just download ISOs, put them on HDD and play them with my soft-modded PS2.

      the games looked decent performance on the ps2 was garbage.
      And no, good gameplay does not mean otherwise. Yes, classic good games exist. No, the ps2 was not a hardware beast.
      The PS2 performance was laughable at the time, but mostly everyone bought it for the affordable dvd player not the console. Development on it was horrendous and most multi platform games ran their worst on the PS2.
      Again, this isn't dissing your favorite PS2 games. This is dissing its performance.

      You mean the potential GT visions game which had more than 20 cars in a race? That was basically GT4 assets on a development PS3. While it had lots of cars, it ran in the same engine basically and PD threw that in the garbage and built GT HD, which became GT prologue and finally GT5. PS3 was a notorious headache machine for developers but PD finally wrangled it under control enough to produce the first GT game with time of day transitions and weather. GT5/6 had some memorable drives, early morning sunrise at Nur is breathtaking. If you still have those games, give it a try, it makes GT Sport feel a bit sterile in this regard for take a car for a spin and enjoying the scenery.

      @Skott Knowing the differences isn't the same as understanding what those differences meant. And I still stick by you are oblivious of those because that last statement is still wrong. Go search for a video done by DF on running modern game on CRT. And, the reasoning of the first comment is PS2 games already looked good back in those days because it was played and developed on CRT display in mind. Aliasing, motion blur, upscaling blur, input lag etc that later on became a problem on modern display never was a problem when it was played on the intended display.

They will definitely play old PC games and might work on new AAA titles.

    I hate to say this but I have to dislike this video, due to several reasons :
    1. Using DX11 renderer instead of OpenGL with blending mode set at medium to eliminate dust going through the car model
    2. Not testing the intensive night tracks which will actually strain the PC properly. George V Paris is the main reason why GT4 is really considered to be really heavy to emulate, due to lighting effects that strain most PCs.
    3. (Ignore this if PAL version is used) Not running the game at Progressive mode to make the game output cleaner and smoother image.

    Except for some jaggy aliasing on the crash barriers, I still think Gran Turismo 4 looks pretty nice when played on the original hardware, although that's with the caveat that my Toshiba TV is over 12 years old with a screen that's only 26" wide and 720p resolution and I don't have any experience playing Playstation 2 games on 50"+ OLED screens (or whatever kind of TV/monitor the cool kids have these days).
    The other two racing games on Playstation 2 that I have with graphics that I think hold up really well are Enthusia: Professional Racing by Konami and, of course, OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast by Sega/AM2 (I'd love to get the XBox version of that one but it's too expensive now; I do have the XBox verson of OutRun 2 SP though).

    Download the last beta of pcsx2 (1.5.0-dev);
    Set EE/IOP Clamping to Extra;

    In SpeedHacks, set EE Cyclerate to +2;
    In SpeedHacks, set EE Cycle Skipping to 1 (play around with these last two settings to find your best combination);
    In SpeedHacks, set MTVU to active.
    Under video plugin settings:
    Set Interlacing to: Bob tff (use blend if shaking);
    Allow 8 bit textures and set Internal Resolution to 1080p or 720p;
    Under Audio plugin settings:
    Set Interpolation to 1 - Linear;
    Set "Disable Effect Processing" to active;
