Just Mess around with the settings. They are a bunch of tips for speeding up the emulator on youtube. Try enabling some Speed Hacks.

The link doesn't seem to work..hmm..

Thanks for all the hard work. I'm quite new to PS2 emulation, but would Gran Turismo 3 or 4 work well with a 2009 Macbook?

Intel Core 2 Duo
2.13 Ghz
4 GB RAM
NVIDIA 9400m

Thanks!

Hey I'm using your PCSX2 PG and it appears to run very well, however, the controls are unresponsive and I can't select the window that the game is playing in. Any ideas on how fix this?

What gamepad plugin are you using? Set the controls before starting the emulation. You can't select the window? It could be that it crashed, even if you can still navigate through the GUI, you WILL need to restart it.

The controls are configured.  I can't navigate through the GUI, the only thing that I can do, once emulation has started, is bring the windows to the foreground.  There is no response from mouse usage or control usage which is, again, configured.  It just sits there and plays the intro of whatever ISO I'm running until I quit.  I have a Macbook with Snow Leopard and an Intel HD3000 Graphics card.  I'm assuming it's a wineskin problem, how would I go about resolving it though?  I just recently updated my wineskin with the latest builds so I'm not sure what I should do.  Thanks for the help.

Thats odd but if I have other pcsx2 ports. If you still want to run that one in particular, just right click it and click "Show Package Contents" and I'm sure you know where to go from there. Just run it in wine or in a wineskin build.

Yes. The link in the first post is the latest I have put together.

I can't wait to download it. PCSX2 has given me the biggest headache for years!!! I've given up on it so many times in the past and thought all hope was lost. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that this version will fix all (or at least most) of the problems.

Well be amazed because you can update PCSX2 it to the latest version just by replacing the files You can find each Pcsx2 build revision at Emucr.com

[alfikar]

So I managed to download and open the file. I set all the plugins to exactly what I see in the screenshot on the first page, and for bios, I'm using the Europe 2.00. Everything is working great except the graphics. I've got weird holes in the graphics. I'm playing FFX.

How do I fix this?

[alfikar]

I was trying to upload some pictures for you guys, but I can't seem to do that.

There is a Final Fantasy X fix either on the video plugins settings or on the game fixes section in the PCSX2 Settings. Try that.

Hey, what is the last download you added, I guess it's the firs link in your post ? If yes, then, can you please help me because I can't get DBZ Budokai 3, tenkaichi 2 nor tenkaichi 3 to work (they are mine so I'm pretty sure the ISO is not corrupted), these are PAL versions, but they work perfectly (slowly btw) until I want to start a fight and PCSX2 just freeze during loading :/

I tried lot of configs, but all the "perfect" configs for those games are using Gsdx, so I can't use it on mac (but I guess you already knew this ^^), or at least I don't know how to use Gsdx with OSX.
Default video plugin (Zero Kosmos SSE2) is the best one atm, but still slow game/fps and can't start fights. Sound works well btw, and the PS2 UI is laggy, verry laggy.

Thank you in advance and sorry for the long post :/

No problem but I haven't tried to run any of those games on here. GSdx works on mac. Zero Kosmos SSE2 is the best one. Try messing around with the speed hacks, plugins and game fixes. Visit EmuCR.com and make sure to update your PCSX2 when the latest revision comes out. They also have the latest GSdx updated when it comes out.

[Tristan]

Okay thanks but when I launch it using gsdx it just get stuck before anything shows up :/
And Zero Kosmos is strangely slow (average 20fps) when the old xquartz port worked at about 150fps :/ (couldn't start a fight with it though so I gave a try to this version in which I am much more confident because your work looks to be of a good quality ;-) )

I'll mess with setting anyway ;-)

Okay. And There are different GSdx plugins, DX10 doesn't work so don't bother trying that one.

Old stuff :

Spoiler

Hi, I'm back ! I got it to work !
ZeroGS KOSMOS (non-sse2 forced) is the best, because I can have about 35-40fps everytime !

There is just something I don't get. The game's characters looks to be in slow motion with normal fps ._.
Animations are not laggy, just slowed down and characters are veeerryyyy sssslllllooooowwww. (and when I say slow, DBZ becomes slower that everything I played.) though menus are normal.
This starts at the opening, and only when charaters, playable, are on screen.
I'll just looks to see if some peoples got the same problem, or at least if other games have the same bug. And how to fix it (more important imho).

Sound is probably from where this comes because it is slow too, and so it looks like pcsx2 is making the video as slow as the sound. (maybe it's the opposite, but that is to say that sound is as slow as the players)
Or I guess (and hope) not, but can it be related to the fact that it's PAL version ?

And yep, last 2 things. Lillypad always losts it's config when I close the app, and my dualshock 2's Right-Joystick-down isn't seen by lillypad though it works (checked it on other softs first). (but this is minor because DBZ isn't very demanding with that joystick).

Oh I forgot something, I have 8GB of RAM and pcsx2 only sees 2GB, is it normal ? if no, is this bug related to pcsx2 or wineskin ? how to fix it ?

Here are more system informations :
OS : OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 (Dev Preview 4)
CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3,06 GHz
RAM : 8GB (8196 MB)
GPU : Nvidia GeForce 9400M (a.k.a. 9400GT) -> 256MB shared memory

I used pcsx2 0.9.9 (SVN 5277) and ZeroGS KOSMOS from your build, lillypad SVN (r5258), spu2null (sound was useless slowed down so I tried to simply disable it, but looks like this did not work since the game is still laggy, even without sounds), etc etc.

Speed hacks are EECyclerate : 2, VU Cyclerate : 3, everything checked apart from MTVU (seless on dual-cores if I understood well).
The rest of the emulation window is standard config.

Hey, some updates. I got sound to be close to perfect (kinda laggy now, but really a little bit, bearable).
I used SPU2-X like this :


Then I corrected graphics a bit, but I got bad news :/ Since everything looked to be great, with really less lags, and game running close to PS2-like, while in fights, everything becomes dark black. And only techniques are visible (like kamehaha's produced light make peoples visible per example)...

I guess this comes form round and clamp mode, bot sat to nearest and none in EE/IOP and VUs, I'll try it differently later.
I got huge imrovements using frameskipping (constant) with 1 and 2 as values, if I use 1 and 3 pcsx2 becomes crazy ^^"
Didn't try any other things at the moment (had finals today, so I was learning stuff etc etc... ^^)

Yeah, I tried running Dragon Ball Z Infinite World and I'm gonna tell you right now that you shouldn't bother unless you have Alienware lol And Yeah GSdx works the best for graphics but it is the slowest plugin...

naaaaaaahhhhh T_T
B-b-b-but I saw peoples playing it T_T

Raaahhh so I won't be able to play it on computer, have to buy a TV then :/
I'll try all the settings anyway and maybe my stupid hope will end letting me play ^^"

Thank you anyway :-)
I'll find KoolSPU2 then, and try with ZeroGS and some of it's mystic advanced settings ^^

You can still play the game. It will just be really slow..... And good luck finding that. The only way to get KoolSPU2 is to install PCSX2 Extremum. You must have Crossover.... and install it. I guess you can try CX but it won't work in wine.

Ok then I'll trys this way, but I'm afraid you're right and I will never be able to play it at normal speed :/

You can but you just need a computer with atleast 3.20 Ghz. Somewhere around there.. Its worth a try though so go ahead lol I used to mess with this A LOT!! Which is why I have like a thousand pcsx2 plugins xD

Okay, and basically, if I succeed to overclock to 3,2Ghz (just 6% of OC), do you think that I would be able to play it ?
