These strange lines move across the walls and even the ceiling, this is just the starting area, I’m sure it will continue occurring, what do I do?

I'm planning to play Soul Calibur III with PCSX2 and I wanted to know if the game's save file corruption bug will have any effect on the save files of the other games I play on my PC with the emulator, or any other negative effects.

Years ago, when I was playing the physical copy on my PS2 console, I lost all the data on a memory card due to this bug so I'm worried this could happen again even on an emulator.

On the PCSX2 wiki page for the game, I see the bug mentioned in the Trivia section, but not the Known Issues section. Does this mean the bug does not occur on PCSX2?

I’m playing the PS2 version of SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! in PCSX2 on an Alienware laptop running Windows. The game runs during gameplay, but it freezes on the loading screen when moving to the next minigame or when a movie cutscene is about to play.
When it freezes before a movie cutscene, I can’t watch the cutscene. If I close and restart the game, it has already moved on to the next set of minigames/audition, so I miss it.

This happens even when I play without saving, so I don’t think it’s related to my memory card or save file. I also tried the Software Renderer, but it still froze. My EE Cycle Rate is back at 100% and EE Cycle Skipping is disabled.
Has anyone found a setting or workaround for this game? I’d appreciate any suggestions.

I just got my steam controller to fully connect to the program, but when I press b it pulls the pcx menu up. The regular start button does the same thing too. Is there a way for me to not have this happen so it doesn't pull it up when I'm in the middle of combat or just selecting options? (I'm playing the Japanese version of kh2 if that helps.)

Hi everyone,

I've seen people using jailbroken PS5 consoles to play older PS2 and PS3 games, and I'm curious about whether it's possible to burn our own game discs and play them directly on the PS5.

I'm interested in understanding the technical side of this, particularly:

• Can a jailbroken PS5 run PS2 games from burned DVD-R discs?
• Does it depend on whether the original game was released on DVD or CD?
• Is there any way to play PS3 games from burned Blu-ray discs, or is loading game images from internal storage the only realistic option?
• Are there any existing homebrew projects or emulators that support this?
• Has anyone actually tested this with a burned disc, rather than an original retail disc?

I'm interested in legitimate homebrew, emulation, and making personal backups of games I own. I'm not looking to buy preloaded discs or use someone else's game dumps.

If possible, I'd appreciate links to reliable documentation, active development projects, or communities where people have tested these setups.

Thanks!

While the graphics for the actual game look fine and plays well, the cutscenes are lacking with be very blocky. I played around with tbe graphics settings but couldn't find a good configuration that made the cutscenes and the opening title look as it normally would on the PS2. Any advice on what settings I could use to help make everything look as it should?

The game runs fine, but i have an issue, i cant climb. I already mapped my joystick (pc joystick - redragon) but the issue is that every time i try to climb with L1, L2, R1 or R2 the character begins to twitch like im pushing the button constantly but supper fast, wich makes the character falls and cant climb anything. I tried remaping it, with R3 and L3 and works perfectly, but is super uncomfortable to use like that.

Any tips on keeping my screen from dimming when going into full screen . I know its and HDR issue of some sort from research . Only happens when im running Vulkan but I need to use that renderer cause games run the best with that one. Ive tried borderless fullscreen, changing the Vulkan/OpenGL present method to Prefer layered on DXGI also has done nothing ive tried messing with Nvidia app setting as well with no luck. Any help/tips appreciated.

Hey guys, I was reading about the reliquary build that allows Stuntman to actually function; very excited as it was one of my favorite games. However, upon loading it up and enabling the settings for the float, etc, the game still has massive slowdowns. After reading some posts, I was under the impression it was in a pretty good/smooth state. Any advice is appreciated as I haven’t tried emulating in years.

My rig is a 4070 super and an i7-12700k with tons of ram.

Thanks guys!

I was playing a game that was having problems with some versions. I reached the middle of the game, but unfortunately, it froze at one of the levels and it was difficult to complete.

I currently have another copy of the file and I want to replace it in the emulator, but I don't know how.

bought this 8-core PC expecting good performance, but it can only handle light PCSX2 games. I purchased it because it was listed as a 'Ryzen 7' gaming PC."

Does anyone knows how to fix a glitch where digimon rumble arena 2 start screen doesn't load correctly in the ps5 ps2 emulator?

Hia, I have installed the emulator but I have no idea where to download the games in a web safe from virus. Any recomendation?

Shot in the dark, not sure if this is the right place to ask but figured I'd start here. I'm trying to rip some audio files from my NHL 06 .iso, specifically just the play-by-play/announcer audio. I've managed to extract .asf files using Watto Studio's Game Extractor, but the .asf files are unplayable, either in the wrong codec or corrupted. Does anyone know of a way I can get these audio files in a usable format? Or of a different subreddit I should be asking?

Hi,

I’m having an issue with Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix.

Normally when driving fast in-game you get motion blur, but on my end it is completely missing no matter the emulator settings.

In Software Mode the motion blur is present and looks correct.

I play at native resolution with default/clean settings. No widescreen or no-interlace patches are active.

Weirdly, I can’t find any complaints about this online.

To make sure, I tested the game on my PC (PCSX2 nightly) as well as on Android (ARMSX2 and NetherSX2). In all cases the motion blur is completely missing in Hardware mode.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi all, is there a way to update my games to match the latest version of the emulator? It won't let me launch my games and I feel silly

Recently been missing playing PS2 games so i decided to try doing emulation on my new laptop (ASUS Vivobook S14 with the Core Ultra 5 226V)

So if anyone can let me know if it is okay to do PS2 emulation with these specs that it can handle it without any issues?

Estoy buscando hacer un cambio de skin directo en Code Lyoko para PS2 (versión de EE. UU.) para controlar al sub-boss William en vez del personaje jugable Ulrich durante el combate a pie, usando la malla y las texturas de William mientras heredo las animaciones y las entradas del control de Ulrich para evitar cuelgues. Logré descomprimir el archivo de gráficos del nivel usando QuickBMS (Zlib) y usé HxD para aislar la geometría pura de William (952 vértices / B8 03) con una longitud recortada de 2CAC bytes, sobrescribiéndolo directamente por paste-write (Control + B) sobre el bloque de Ulrich. Después de reconstruir el .pc e inyectarlo en el ISO con Apache3, el mod queda 100% estable y el emulador PCSX2 inicia el nivel a la perfección, sin pantallas negras ni cuelgues; pero el motor gráfico de Neko Entertainment ignora el cambio y todavía renderiza a Ulrich visualmente, probablemente porque restaura su modelo desde una caché global de personajes o desde un contenedor. También intenté forzar el ID del outfit de William modificando los parámetros debajo del nodo PLAYER_START dentro del archivo de script lógico (.cp2), pero eso dispara una pantalla de carga infinita, así que necesito ayuda de un modder con experiencia que sepa cómo redirigir punteros de personaje correctamente o saltarse la caché global de assets en este motor.

Hii im wondering if there is an english translated rom or patch for this game :3

How do I fix this?

So, on gamehacking.org, the game has cheats but on in the European PAL-M6 format and not the NTSC-U format that I want cause the stupid boat boss in the arena is trying my damn patience. So I need a way to either convert or create my own american region version of said cheats. now i could get the european version of the game but i dont know how well that'll work plus im like 5 hours in already. if anyone could help, that be cool.

I updated PCSX2 to the latest version and I tried God Hand, which I played just before, and I started to have some FPS drops; has anybody else experienced this?
