How to make PlayStation 2 Games look INCREDIBLE with PCSX2 Emulator 2024 #ps2 #pcsx2 #emulator

Good upload! 👍 I use a fork of PCSX2 called XBSX2 for my Xbox Series X. Full speed 4k 60fps no problem! I aint tried outrun yet though........

Thank you so much 💋👌

Please don't run widescreen without an actual ps2x2 widescreen patch for the game. It looks horrible.

1080p and scanlines for me.

Hello, can it also be improved in Retrobat? thanks for your videos

Have you done these setup videos in Batocera ? V39 looks to be dropping soon and the latest build is very good for a all in one setup.

I also managed to get PCSX2 (Nightly Build) to work on my Lenovo Legion Go. There’s even less hiccups than there are on the N64 emulators. It goes to show that every emulator works differently.

ok tutorial, you covered the basics :) i like watching your videos lately, everything pretty much already seen, but your voice is calming...lots of stuff to do in pcsx2, you can do miracles :) also there are already hundreds of custom patches, hacks, custom hd textures, shaders, mods, etc....good video, and keep up the good work :)

I'm still waiting for them to increase the resolution past 8x or allow custom resolution again so I can play in 8K on newer builds. It's nuts how I have to play on a build 5 years ago and pray everything works just to play in 8k

yout pcsx2 does not look anything like mine lol. I have Emulation settings EE, VU, GS, GS Window, Speedhack to play around with?

Dude you need to do something about the audio, it's way too quiet compared to other channels.

Was playing LOTR - The Third Age recently on deck and the aliasing was out of control at default settings. Found a post about the upscaling and even at 1080p it looks amazing.

Lol "how to make PS2 games look incredible", proceeds to stretch a 3:4 game horribly without a wide-screen patch or selecting wide-screen in the video options. Just amazing...

I have trouble with the sound slowing to a crawl.

Thanks for this tutorial, it's always appreciated! On an extra note, remember that certain games have received Widescreen Patches and many people have created HD Texture Packs for several PS2 games that polish them up quite a lot alongside the settings given here. When it comes to remastering them on our own, it's good to know that we have many options thanks to the community. Have a swell day :)

Thank you so much. I’m just can’t play with og setting.

try distro Bazzite much better

Pcsx2 is really coming on now, its got to a point now that I've ditched my original ps2 and ripped all my games and now play them through the pc with better resolution, I've had the latest nightly build for some time now and every night there is boat load of new updates done, really glad they got Ridge racer v to work in hardware mode now there is still some small graphics glitches here and there but it works now rather than running it in software mode.

On multiple musou games there's a widescreen "cheat" patch that legitimately adds to the side of the game without stretching the graphics. It's works great, so you play in true wide screen, but there's an issue on all the games with about 8 evenly spaced vertical screen tear lines where the lines from top to bottom are narrow, but distorted pixels. I have tried everything under to sun to make it go away, but the ONLY thing that's done it is to use "software renderer" which makes the entire games looks extremely pixelated and ugly. If you or anyone else knows how to fix this specific issue, I would greatly appreciate it. The lines are narrow, but one of them is always dead center of the screen, so character faces always end up getting bisected by it and it's totally immersion breaking for me.

Thanks Bro It Worked.

Why would one play Outrun through PCSX2 when there is a native PC version running like a dream?

I tried the same setup for ICO and sometimes the screen goes completely black though when it doesn't it looks beautiful. Why is that happening? I really wanna know

To be brutally honest, Outrun 2 is a terrible game to play on PCSX2. Its better to play the native PC port of it that already has the HD textures built into it. You probably should've used a PS2 exclusive like Time Crisis 2 or Tekken 5 to show an example of this because I don't really see that much of an improvement in the PS2 version of Outrun 2.

i have a i7 4790k 16 gig ram a gigabyte 4070 12 gb i think il be fine on 4k 1080p

You messed up. Anisotropic filtering doesn't help with jaggies . At all.. you are getting it confused with anti aliasing. Anisotropic filtering literally has zero performance hit on any gpu. Even st 16x. .

I realized i can play psx games and even sega games with this, but graphics are not the best. Do you think i need to set it up properly according to the psx console or i should download another emulator only dedicated for psx?

I have a question Jamie, do I need a laptop with dedicated GPU to replicate all this? I've read a bit that mostly emulators are utilizing CPU more than GPU, so I wonder would a laptop with Ryzen APU (Ryzen 5 8645hs, which only has a iGPU equivalent to GTX1630) run perfectly fine?

Is there any way to set custom controls per game?

Is there any way to get the widescreen patch properly working on mac os???? The image still looks stretched even when I enable it.

Just downloaded the emulator today and wow the graphics greatly improved. Subscribed. Thanks a lot! :)

Doesn't this game have a native 16:9 widescreen mode in the options menu? The Japanese Outrun 2 SP release does.

SUPER useful, thank you so much man...maybe less talking next time?

This my surprise you but I kind of like the default Playstation 2 graphics if I tried to make the resolution go higher it just looks fake and weird to me
(Probably because I'm used to the Playstation 2 graphics too much)

I think there is an issue with the bios, because I'm having major slowdowns with this game on Steam Deck on pretty much any setting.

just remember if you update PCSX2 all your saves are gone!! put it on a usb stick
