requirements/settings for shadows of the colossus - Page 2

shuffle2 · May 21st, 2008

computer specs: see sig

software specs:
pcsx2 vm svn 374 + MTGS+DC+ EE/IOP sync hack + disable forced ABS
gsdx 0.1.7 (DX10, native res, 16:9)
zerospu2 0.4.6
game set to 16:9 and progressive

normally get 40 to 60 fps

i've found that gsdx 0.1.7 looks/runs better than any 0.1.8 svn ive tried
also, increasing res really slows it down for me :'(

edit: pic is looking upward while on the horse, btw

so the camera isn't screwed up or anything

thx man but i was trying to say that progressive scan is introducing the black zone issue for me.....

and yes going over 800x600 really slows it down a lot....still playable at 1024x768 though....

only shadows problem remaining yay!

Hey nexxuno,

Glad you got the game working. Have you been able to get physically on Colossus #5 yet (the bat)? I tried shooting it with the crossbow (just like the youtube.com videos) and he never swoops down, but seems to fly away into a wall and disappears. Anyhow, I'm wondering if I just suck, or is there a glitch in PCSX2 preventing the bat flying down to be boarded?

funny thing, it doesn't wanna fight, it just hide in the wall... dw its happening to me

Dang. Yeah, looks like the 5th Colossus (The Bat) will *NOT* fight you due to a glitch in the emulator. Attached is a memory card with saved games from a real Playstation 2. You can load a saved game right after The Bat was defeated so you can keep playing the game! I'm fighting the 6th Colossus now... so far, no problems with him!

Edit: Is anyone else having trouble getting the electric eel to surface (7th Colossus)?

does that memcard upload include a save before the bat? if not could someone upload one?

because getting files one by one can be quite difficult.
pm me please

Well, using real PS2 save games I tried attacking Colossus #5, 7, and 8 and none of them would fight me. Guess for now this game should still be labeled as "In-Game Only". Major props to the dev team though, the progress over the last few months has been incredible.

nexxuno · May 25th, 2008
