ZeroGS - New GS Plugin

[vbv123]

guys i get an error: 'Error Opening GS Plugin'.. why am i getting this?

[Darkness angel]

ZeroFrog, can you fix the bug that I have.
The one were it fails to create a Hardware, and it switches to software.

Your intel graphics card doesn't let me create a d3d device because of some settings. I think that even if we do figure out the problem, gsdx will still give as good or even better results than zerogs.

[Darkness angel]

My intel graphics card is weird.
It doesn't have a buffer for openGL.
In ePSXe when I select Pete's OpenGL2 2.8, it says missing Buffer.
Anyway I'm getting off topic.

i've the same error mess than vbv123, Error Opening GS Plugin
What must i do? Ive got pcsx2 0.9. I think it's zeroGS plugin, SSE2 or not. But i can't add another graphic plugin... why?

[Ebola-Reston]

Hi, just checked your new plugin and on my system, image quality is generally better than GSDX9. Speed is about the same : still very slow

I can't believe PCSX2 just require so much power to run

Anyway keep on the good job

FFX running on Opteron 165 @ 2.8 GHz with 7900 GT @ 700/900 MHz, sadly no support for dual core on this game



This machine usually handle state of the art HDR gaming and suffer at ~20/40 FPS in this game :o
Setting AA to x2 or x4 doesn't slower the game, but rendering is not as good with than without, some glitches sometimes

I can't imagine when we will be able to play to games on this emulator

wow 20 FPS in battle isn't slow.

on my Athlon 64 X2 4800+, Geforce 6800 i get only 8-15 FPS in battles.
i found out that ZeroGS is quiet slower on newer Nvidia drivers.
i've try one of the latest drivers and 78.01 driver.
the 78.01 is pretty faster then the last one

[zerofrog]

In your case, use MTGS with dual core opt. You might be able to get up to 30fps.
MTGS frees up the graphics driver bottleneck that the GS plugins cause.

On my AMD64X2 3800 I go from 8fps->16-18 fps easily.

mh..
MTGS and dual-core takes no really effect with FFX/FFX-2.
i get only 2-3 fps more and when i use the FFX-hack the emu crash when something in 3D appears.
titlescreens and menu works with ffx-hack.

do you use Win 2003server or Win XP x64 edition?

Indeed you're right, as you can see the GPU is still sleeping



Out of the battle area i got from 35 to 100 fps depending of the rendering charge, fully playable, only fights suffers of slows down

The drawback is that i can't enable de FFX hack, it either freeze either crash the emulator and i am sure my system is rockstable, am far what it can do at max and run whatever perfectly

Hmm...... I'll check out the MTGS bug. Disable 4xAA, that'll probly gain you 10-20%.

[Darkness angel]

Yep, Enabling MTGS does increase the speed.
My speed went from 5-10 fps to 15-30 fps.
I can't enable it in FFX-2, how come?

ok for example:

Athlon 64 X2 4800+, geforce 6800

Final Fantasy X PAL, New Game Opening Sequence.
On the top, you can see the weapons from the characters and a nice sunset:

ZeroGS, without MTGS and Dualcore mode: 15 FPS
ZeroGS with MTGS and Dualcore mode: ca 17-19 FPS


Final Fantasy X PAL, Cid's Airship, Bridge
I can see 7 Persons: Tidus,Wakka,Cid,Brother,Rikku,Yuna and Lulu

ZeroGS, without MTGS and Dualcore mode: 6-7 FPS
ZeroGS with MTGS and Dualcore mode: ca 10-12 FPS

[Ebola-Reston]

Here's what i got from my config pushed to its max :
Opty @ 3.0 GHz and 7900 GT to 730/920 MHz



Still some important slows down during summoning or high candy spells

I got less video bug with your plugin than GSDX9, but sometimes frame rate suddenly falls where as GSDX9 perform 100% better

Unfortunately i can't record a video with fraps, the output file is said corrupted. With GSDX9 everything is ok, the video looks fine, i will post it in the screenshot area

Is MTGS improvement only for dual cores or also available for quad core or more ?

Try HyperCam

Interesting, so i did 3 videos, 2 of them done with hypercam and one done with fraps so you can compare

I have to compress a bit and loss a bit of quality else files would have been enormous, sorry for the .wmv format, it's the only compressor that is not wrecked on my system

<<video>> ZeroGS - Dual core - w/o FF hack

<<video>> ZeroGS - Single core - w/ FF hack

<<video>> GSDX9 - Single core - w/ FF hack

Ran at @ 2.8, cause some ice on the video board have to melt

Looks to me like yours is going almost full speed for the Dual Core one

I tried to display the FPS on the recorded video. The only way to do this is with PCSX2 console and character are unreadable with compression

When dual core enable, average FPS is ~40 and never hit 60
