PS2 emulation and flickering textures

Neo-Zacar · September 3rd, 2003

When emulating PS1, textures 'move'. Will PS2-emus too have flickering textures in emulated games?

I don't think so since the PS2 should have a z-buffer which will enable such things as Perspective correction and per pixel accuracy.

thats great but how does ps1 makes 3d graphix without z-buffer?

Actually the textures will still 'warp' in PS1 games emulated on PS2 (Console and PS2 Emulator) because the games were not coded to utlize a z-buffer. (PSX had no z-buffer, so the games didn't call for one).

He's talking about PS2 games emulated on a ps2 emulator. In that case, it will have a z-buffer.

The ps2 has the actual hardware to run ps1 games. Not emulate them.
