On paper the gamecube is more powerful than the ps2, but, when you play the gamecube games the majority of textures close up or far from the player always looks smudged or blurred compared to the ps2 which games have more detail in the texturing and also more object displayed on screen like grass and trees. gamecube and xbox both have 4 pixel pipelines compared to the ps2 16 pixel pipelines.
I have a dual-core 2.5GHz processor, 1GB GeForce DTX550 graphics card, 5GB RAM and so on and i can't run anything fast...!!! Why is it so? Are these good specs? What to do?
the pcsx2 emulator was written to take advantage of only dual-cores, but, you need a processor that runs faster than 3ghz to play the emulator at 60fps. I would get a quad-core 3.2ghz letting the emulator use the 2 cores and the OS the other 2 cores so everything can run smoothly. I have core2duo 2.40ghz 4Mb cache and the game runs at 25-30fps but to me it seems to run at 5-10fps. But I can overclock my 2.4 to 3.0 easy without heat issue.
Dude I tried to play a game from an old original ps2 disc (Idk how I've forgot to sell that) and it works... but when I start to play it the screen...umm...how to say... the text bounces a bit like 1-2 centimeters
OK let me just clear it out for most people. Stop posting your PC specs and asking if it will run, here's why:
Because no matter how good your PC is, it will still lag at some point, so no, it won't run on any PC 100% clean. Also, just take your fucking time, download the .iso and emulate it and see for yourself, you have nothing to lose.
@koldproxy I happen to had a MGS4 bundle of the 80GB phat PS3 and it ran MGS3 via emulation, in some parts, like a jungle full of enemies, it ran in slomo, literally, because it doesn't frameskip. Even an acual PS2 can have a hard time running this game.
I notice that it lags on your PC during cutscenes. My PC is powerful enough 2.9 GHz, quad core, 8 GB Ram. i7 processor, but this specific emulator has the problem with resolution changes and causes lag. Any idea how to stop this?
@RemovdSande11 I have the settings on one of my videos towards the end that might help i also have a video on MGS TTS which runs 110% on PC with Dolphin ww w.youtube.com/user/ste0002ste0002/feed if your interested (remove the space).
@iRadiatedBox It requires a fucking badass computer to run it 100%. I think that no one can play it at ONE HUNDRED percent. I still don't know how to play it at full speed, it doesn't matter the settings that I choose, it always lags in some parts, if I change the resolution to from Native to 1080p the fps will continue to be the same, even in a high or low fps rate. The issue is the emulator in most cases.
I see no point in running this on a big expensive pc anymore since the HD Collection is coming to 360 and PS3 in November with native 720p, widescreen, 60fps locked in and 2xAA.
@rpg1201 That's just what I'm guessing... I know I probably shouldn't have put that but the pictures look smoother and the God of War HD collection had 2xAA so it's very probable...
@iNexXxuS can you pls help me im trying to play mgs 3 on PCSX2 0.9.7 (r3878) but i cant make it run smooth enaugh cinematics works well but at some points in the game it start to lagg my specs is:
@beastof2000 i got it running 55fps average but on codes it drops to 13 and it really slow,also i get that water glitch but ok i finished with The Pain and now i have to pass the river and that glitch is just spoiling the fun
Looking forward to giving this a try. My PS2 broke down but I still have my good ol' MGS3 disc sitting on the shelf. Downloaded the emulator today and hope it'll run good on my non-OC'd PC. (i7 920, 6gb ram, win7-64bit, gtx470).
Yeah after emulating this myself and playing for an hour, i realised that alot of the post-processing prettyness was not present which does add spades to the atmosphere. Also certain things like not being able to see who you're speaking to on the codec and Slow gameplay (Not so much an FPS slowdown, but an actual slowdown, as if you're running through jam) makes me think, even though this is all for free, it's hindering my overall experience of the game.
@mezooodr i shall. holidays are coming up for me, 17th of september is the magic day they begin. I'll have 2 weeks off so i'll do a tutorial video then :)
I Have a ISO from this game (MGS3 US Vesion),Core2duo,Geforce9600gt,memory2GB.And when i gonna play this beginning its run like 15\20 Fps only.Can i get a better with my PC?
it would really help if pcxs2 used quad cores. the game has slowness in most areas. my cpu is a Phenom II @ 3.2ghz and gpu is a HD4670. will a HD5770 speed things up a lot? or will I just need to overclock the hell out of the cpu?
@farter1a2b3c hmm its hard to say. with a game like MGS3 theres alot of things to render in the environment so its slightly better but not by much. Thats not to say all games are like this. God of War 2 looks like a ps3 game on the emulator when the settings are right :)
I am curious as to where you got this for the emulator. I'm timid about browsing sites and using torrents but really want to play this game. Any information that you could give me would be most appreciated. And thank you for uploading this, looks wonderful. :)
@stardustpoptart26 I wish I had a ps2 just to replay this game. I'm Brazilian, and as people from all over the world sees us as fucking burglars and rascals-- they're right. About five years ago an unknown bastard stole my ps2, lol.
I have a i3 2100 an radon 6770 with 4 gb of ddr3 1600 ram running it at a solid 35+ :)
