retsuseiba :

Since no one reacted.... I guess it's ok......

It's normal. Even if you play it on a normal PS2 the screen will shake like that on occassion. Really annoying.

In a battle? Where are soldiers? Can't remember now

They are everywhere... You have to sneak past them. But seriously... putting him to sleep solved it... so I just thought that was weird. Included are some screenshots.

Might also be a PCSX2 bug...

In a battle, it will slow down from time to time, and at very random time,so I have no idea if this is conditional, or it's just one specific spot's bug... but it's interesting to say the least, because the fps gain is so significant.

Edit: And yeah, my bad, it was only in this spot that I could reproduce this bug. At other spots, it's totally random.

I guess runawayprisoner forgot to mention that the game name is Metal Gear Solid 2 and not FFX or Kingdom Hearts

Anyway, that slow down is pcsx2 bug and not gsdx.

Thanks for clarifying. I was suspecting that after I could not reproduce it at any other spot.

this plugin has worked miracles on my machine.
I can run tekken 5 with an Fps of 25

My computer is very slow for the emu
cpu>2.3Ghz Amd Athlon X2
gfx>onboard nVIDIA 7050Pv
ram>1024MB @800Mhz

emu version 0.9.5 svn377
Gfx plugin Gsdx 0.1.9

however there is a graphical problem in two arena's

When I try to compile rev 849 using "Release SSE4" it (GSVector.h) gives me a bunch of errors like

"Error 1 error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before ';' (line 1706)
"Error 2 error C2059: syntax error : ')' (line 1706)
"Error 1 error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before ';' (line 1711)
"Error 2 error C2059: syntax error : ')' (line 1711)
(and then the same again).

But line 1706 and 1711 seem perfectly fine to me:

GSVector4 floor() const 
{
	return GSVector4(_mm_floor_ps(m));
}

GSVector4 ceil() const
{
	return GSVector4(_mm_floor_ps(m));
}

How to fix?

Thanks.

mm i guess "const" should come before "GSVector4 floor()", same with the other one.
But that's a guess I heard there were "Noob filters" in SSE4 so beware

it's a known problem with the SSE intrinsics .h files.
right-click on _mm_floor_ps or ceil_ps and change the lines so they don't have a ; at the end, in your .h files.

Seems the filter worked...

Thanks, fixed!

Sorry, but when i try the SSE3 version, receive an error, that mine processor don't have it.
Mi CPU is an AM2 3600+ X2 @2500mhz, core windsor:
CPU-Z Validator 2.1
Tried on 0.95 svn 390 and 377, and 0.94 and always same error.
The SSE2 version works great.
So, my cpu have these SSE3 instruction. Please, can someone tell me why can't use the SSE3 version of the GSDX?

[rama2]

You're trying to use the SSSE3 version. Notice the extra S

[tux_topo]

Damn... didn't notice the extra S. Thanks, and sorry for the dumb question.

Gabest: I think you should make the next plugin name something like... "GSDX Generic SSE2," and then "GSDX Intel SSSE3" and "GSDX Intel SSE41" until AMD decides to support those two instruction sets.

I have a few questions.

Is it possible to have a gsdx plugin for SSE3 AMD X2 CPU'S ?

also would it make much of a difference over SSE2?

its been said before that the sse3 instruction set doesn't have very useful instructions for GSdx.
so it won't help out.

I have added this verification and people still won't believe what it says :P

Well it says that "This CPU does not support SSE 3.01"
it's not saying "This CPU does not support SSSE 3" so by looking at SSE 3 part that make them confused

Make it like this "This CPU does not support SSSE 3 so you can't use this version of GSdx"

Do not ask for PCSX2 SVN builds here,it is against the rules and is off-topic.
Compile it yourself
