GS errors, and ps2.0

SlickStretch · March 15th, 2008, 20:29

Ok, so I got Pcsx2, got the PS2 bois, got Final Fantasy X iso (The PAL version), ran through configuration, and everything seemed to go fine. Until I tried to load my iso, and got this mess:

creating zerogs
Failed to create hardware device, creating software.
*********
GS WARNING: Need at least 2 simultaneous render targets. Some zbuffer effects will look wrong
*********
******
GS WARNING: Need independent write masks! Some z buffer effects might look bad
*********
******
GS WARNING: Need MRT Post Pixel Shader Blending for some effects
*********
******
GS ERROR: Device doesn't support alpha blending for 16bit floating point targets.
Quality will reduce.
*********
Creating effects
*********
GS ERROR: Need at least ps2.0 (ps2.0a+ recommended)
*********

How should I go about trying to solve this problem? Do I need to find ps2.0a? And if so, where would I put it?

nevermind, I fixed it. wrong plugin.

Looks like your video card is not good enough. You really ought to have a decent video card (ATI/NVIDIA) capable of PS2.0 or better for decent results.

As said above, your video card needs to support PS2.0. If you're using onboard (which is quite likely it seems) then you'll definitely be better off on your console.

Yeah, once I got it actually play a game, it ran slower than... well... something that's really slow. It ran slow is the point I guess I'm trying to convey here. I guess I'll just stick to my console.

Finally, we get someone who understands the concept that this emulator isn't a free alternative

. Good on you mate, once you get a new computer capable of handling PCSX2 decently, we'll be happy to help you out again

.

Just out of curiosity though, do you happen to know your computer specifications? If it's just the GPU being the problem, then maybe we can work something out
