Hi. i just got pcsx2 running, i'm using an old version of gdsx. can someone point me to the newest version. i have the 1.4 off of the ngemu.com page.

[cottonvibes]

dude check the first post of this thread!

I hope that with the improving pcsx2 beta gabest will start to develop again.
I'm missing his updates

yes i´m missing too, i could pay money for see a new gsdx beta, but now only i´m really sad and frustrated : ( i´m dreamings for play my prefer game in pcsx2 that doesn´t show images : (

[denis411]

umm i wanted to say that sega super stars tennis is playable the ntsc version but once you get on the court there are alot of graphics errors.

i wonder why FMV sequences are so difficult to emulate on pcsx2. on psx emulators, fmv sequences were done fairly well.??? On ff12, the game looks great on gdsx1.7, but fmv sequences are choppy and laggy.

slow videos are caused by pcsx2, not GSdx.
but try FFX or Kingdom Hearts, the FMV's are fine there.

Nice plugin, I use it more than ZEroGS personally, but there are one little thing that bothers me (and probably other users)... the default size of the window, it's so small I have to resize it manually, which for some reason creates a delay in sound after it's done (applies to all SPU2 plugins I've tried). It would be nice to be able to override the size, or at least give us some standard resolution choices. Both for the lazy guys and those who have GPU/SPU sync issues ^^

That's just a suggestion though...

>> slow videos are caused by pcsx2, not GSdx.

Videos are much better using this plugin indeed, thanks to better interlacing features.
Too bad FMVs are very slow in FF games as you said (except for FFX)... probably has to do with their high resolution compared to most other games (unless the native resolution shown in the top of the window isn't updated realtime, they seem to be higher res)

[diablo2121]

Some Grandia III FMV's are slow; it's the ones that seem to mix pre-rendered CGI with rendered models. It's strange though since in-game runs fullspeed, but the FMV/in-game hybrids bring FPS down to ~30 even in native resolutions without texture filtering.

This leads me to believe it's a PCSX2 issue, but I think it's my GFX card bottlenecking, but I have a 8800GTS.

[Mr. Killjoy]

FMV/realtime mixes are usually kinda problematic in early stages of emulation... so most likely it is a PCSX2 issue, not a plugin one (try in ZeroGS, if you get the same result, you get your answer). Or maybe your CPU is fast enough to run FMV and in-game seperatly, but not enough to do both at once.

[diablo2121]

It's most likely PCSX2.

ZeroGS worked the same, and I clocked my Q6600 to 3.0 gHz and that made little difference too.

hi, i don´t understand why gsdx don´t show somes images in games really amazing, why happen that?directx9 is not sufficient for to emule ps2?or lacks more builds in gsdx?

there are alot of reasons why games have texture problems.
sometimes it's PCSX2 sending garbage data to GSdx.
sometimes it's Direct X's fault, because directX9 and directX10 lack some of the functions necessary to properly emulate the PS2.
and sometimes it's GSdx's fault, it might be doing something incorrectly with the data its given.

the fact is, that the developers of PCSX2 and GSdx are doing all this hardwork for free and asking why stuff dosn't work is pretty rude; especially if you know anything about programming/emulation.
just be grateful that it even runs games at all

[n3ziniuka5]

it looks like the plugin isnt developing any more, cuz i dont remeber when i download it and there is no new version

[Mr. Killjoy]

The latest version is only few months old. What do you expect, daily updates?

[axel98]

I am running Final Fantasy X very well on Gsdx,
but in software rendering mode some spell effects eg. Demi
looks diffrent than in hardware rendering, why?
also hair looks sometimes strange.
it is problem with my drivers?

[Mr. Killjoy]

"looks diffrent than in hardware rendering, why?"
They way they're processed is different, so sometimes, the result is different too.
BTW, software is much slower than hardware

"also hair looks sometimes strange.

Emulation isnt perfect yet, especially when it has to do with transparency.
Anyways sometimes even on the real PS2 they looked strange

But game runs perfect (Pal version), My config:
Here i post D3D internal res: 1280x1024 and the video seems black like the attached image, but if i put Native on D3D Internal res, Video looks PERFECT, BUT, ingame FF12 looks too bad, without AA and very pixelated

Thanks
(I can reattach the same image, i put the url here and u can see it)
