Cant believe this

[J-Que]

eey i cant believe this you need a geforce 7800 or a 7900
to eatleast play pcsx2 at good speed i mean common i cant believe the normal ps2 has a geforce 7900 chip in it i mean for all yall experts
out there i mean is this rule gonna stay forever at the pcsx2 emulator or is it some day gonna be playable with a geforce 6600 ? .

We cant predict the future,so noone can answer that question.
Also,a 6xxx series should work fine,no need for 7 series cards,except from a few graphic intensive games

[thc]

In the day all games become playable with 6600 we all will have 8800GTX or better.

Nah not really bro if i compare mine virtua fighter 4 on my pcsx2 with a guy with a geforce 7800 I can see a big difference mine virtua fighter has
5 10 fps in the game en that guy with that geforce 7800 has 30 40 fps ;) big difference .

you can gain 20+ FPS (Resident 4 is an good example XD) if you have the 7900 series. Heck you might even gain 35+ FPS with the G80/8800GTX!

yeah i bet with a geforce 8800 it will run real smooth but i aint gonna spent my money on the geforce 8800 pc games are boring gonna get my self a ps3 .

OK, enjoy your PS3 I guess...

But seriously.... Why do some people expect that if your PC has the same speed as a console, it can run it perfectly? The PC and PS2 are quite different from each other, which means that every single command must be read, then "emulated" and then pass the information to the OS and then to the hardware itself. And vice versa. Quite complex.

This is why non knowledgable people shouldn't get technical data.... But then no one on those PR/Marketers guys can't do anything without it.... :p

Try making a PS2 emulator yourself if you think it's too slow.

I aint saying it is slow bro all i am saying PCSX2 REQUIREMENTS Are high
Not like the chankast . that is all i am saying strider .

[wwe_72]

now PCSX2 v0.9.2 requirments for nice or outstanding speeds on most Playable or In-Game games are:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66 GHz
Nvidia GeForce 7900 512 RAM PS3
1GB RAM DDR 400 or more

that it's i know it's damn expensive but and now is a hell cheaper one PS2 to buy what u can do only wait for newer stuff from PCSX2 team

[thc]

You have to have PS2 anyways.
I just love savestates the only reason to play on PC. Ok and greater framerate sometimes.

Heh, dreamcast emulation isn't far as demanding as PS2 so no wonder. It's more fair to compare PS2 to for example Gamecube or Xbox than a Dreamcast really. My opinion is PCSX2 has very low requirements in comparision to the system specifications and how it has been worked on.

Also should be remembered that it seems that Chankast team got hands on some important documentation of dreamcast so they more exactly knew how it had to be coded so they made this emulator in a very short time and how does it look like today? No updates or anything, guess it got too complicated once they would be forced to use the "try & fail/succeed" method like PCSX2 is coded like. It's difficult to code if you have to 'guess' how it works. If there would be complete documentation available of the PS2 console it would be much easier. :p

I am suprised no one mentioned the CPU.

A user with a slow GPU card but a duel core CPU will realise a smoother emulation experience than a user with a hyper fast GPU but a single core CPU.

Dont forget the PC running a emulation still has to be a PC as well as a PS2, additionally the PC CPU has to emulate all the individual processors on the PS2.
I believe there is more than just the CPU in a PS2 , like the GPU and Sound CPU and various other minor IC's ?

Ok I am not 100% sure of this but I think that the reason a emulator seems to have unreasonable requirement is the fact the PC's CPU has to act as the emulated systems CPU + GPU + Sound CPU + various IC's (drive controllers) ... the emulated system is not going to be able to use the PC's GPU/Sound CPU/etc natively..so the PC CPU must initally translate all the calls, then pass the data to the other conponents.

yes the chankast is really a great emulator but my suspect that the creators are Sega themselves to boost at least some DC game sells.Actually the two DC is easier to emulate because it has a WIN on it a DX 7.1 to run games so it`s much easier to atach it to a pc than the PS2 witch has no such OS or DX for that matter.
