    Fantastic video but calling Midnight Club 3 "the easiest arcade racer" threw me through a loop. The game's not as hard as its predecessors but it's still pretty damn punishing compared to its contemporaries like Need for Speed Most Wanted.

    • @0uttaS1TE
      @0uttaS1TE 5 дней назад +3

      Yeah, I was playing it recently and I was shocked at how hard 3 is. Sometimes victory is measured in milliseconds, while track design feels purpose built to screw you over at times.

      The tracks compared to most wanted are like whoever designed them clearly was on drugs it's stupid and the ai chances on taking is doubled because how stupid the design is​@@0uttaS1TE

    Was looking forward to this one! Within the last year I've played through the whole series on Deck (with 60 FPS patches and the requisite tinkering with cycle rate applied) and had near flawless performance across all the games, so I think the spottiness you experienced is more due to a recent deterioration in PCSX2's performance thanks to either an update to it or SteamOS. Specifically, fullscreen in PCSX2 now makes games run like crap, but if you go windowed it's fine. Curious if you or other people have noticed the same issue.
    As for the double buffer Vsync issues with the PSP versions, I found that setting the emulated CPU clock to 555 made LA Remix run at a locked 60, but you gotta restart PPSSPP for it to take effect.

      I googles this and found only like 3 other posts or so on reddit yet it's such a big regression nobody seems to talk about
      I started to gaslight myself that somethings wrong with my pcsx2 config lol

    Please make a Metal Gear video. I don't know the difference between the substance or the original versions of Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 on PS2. Should I run the original PC ports, the classic collection, or just emulate them? How do I even boot an MSX2 game? (Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake) There are tons of spin-offs and games that I don't know if they're even worth playing and it's all just overwhelming, especially on Linux.

    Have you ever run into the problem with no music in the menu of Midnight Club 2 (PC version) on Steam Deck? The rest of the sound is okay, but the menu music just was not there.
    I've tried many variations of the game (except for the Steam version), run it with different versions of Proton/Wine and Lutris, but the problem is still the same 😢
    Thanks for the video by the way. Very interesting excursion into an iconic series on one of the most interesting consoles of modern times!

    5:34 you can fix that with "Async Mix" setting in PCSX2 (discovered the setting back in 2018 back when PCSX2 wasn't as optimized as today yet i managed to finish all Ace Combat games). Yes it is said to be "break some games!" but none of them break on me.

  • @neorickio

    Thanks for the video man. I have MC2 on my steam account and have played it, but couldn't manage to finish it because it just started freezing during a loading screen somewhere around 1/3 of the game.....I even tried some compatibility options but had no luck, soooo, not very good news I guess.

    Very informative video. Thank you for this I left a like for you! I've tried the GBA version before. The pixel grid filter you applied makes the game less visually grating. How was the loading times for the PSP version under steam deck? Because in the PSP version, you'll be waiting a hot minute. Also MCLA was meant for PS3 / X360 so of course it's gonna be powerful and in an unplayable state on the deck for now...

    Hey Eden, I am relatively sure the pcsx2 slowdowns are because of gamescope and the way it acts as a "fullscreen" wrapper
    What i noticed is that these seemingly random periodic frametime/performance issues vanish if ypu play pcsx2 in windowed mode (so, double click inside the window with steam button + RT)
    Then you will get perfect (depending on if the OG ps2 could handle it ofc and you only run 100% clock speed) performance.

    MC3 runs really well on my Android phone via PPSSPP (full speed, higher res w controller), it's my childhood game so I adore just having access to it, makes me want to get a steam deck for the better res
    Granted, for some reason the PSP port is a lot harder than the PS2 version for some crazy reason?

  • @Swiftstar2

    Can you do a review like this for grand turismo? I just loaded up GT4 running it with PCSX2. The game runs ok, but has a visual break down when the lighting in game starts to push the SD's capabilities. Also, the in game sound track gets choppy while racing.

  • @Irving-or8ds

    Great video, as always! Have you tried the "allow tearing" option on the deck to reduce the input latency? I feel like it helps a bit with PCSX2.

    The problem with the xbox version is that for ntsc players. The game is sped up to 4%. Which is not an issue on PS2 and PC. Only running the game in pal will fix the speed issue in xbox. But then you're stuck with an interlaced picture. The only second way to fix the issue is to play an online match. Which, for some reason, was optimised while the main game was not. The xbox version is just werid.

    Hey Edan, I really enjoy your videos. However with your PSP section- I can tell you have alot to learn. In games like MC3 where the FPS is variable- some emus let you raise the CPU clocks. Changing the emulated PSP to 2000/3000, raising the CPU clock to 333Mhz or higher (ex. 500mhz) then saving it as a per-game setting fixes those internal FPS issues. Recommending extra steps (like 60fps patches) like this adds more research/work, but I think it'll help you grow as a content creator. Hope this helps!

    • @ProjectEdan
      @ProjectEdan  12 дней назад +11

      Thanks for the comment - howevever, I did attempt just about everything you mentioned in this comment throughout my testing. I don't include every attempted step in the end video in order to keep things as breezy as possible.
      On that point, none of the patches I applied to these games remedied their variable performance. Changing the internal clock speed or emulated model does nothing, either. I hope this clarifies for anyone else wondering!
