(And, in theory, you could compute such a pack automatically. That’d take most of the workload off the emulator, and let basically anything run these games. We could have “LQ texture+model packs”, to reduce PS4/3/2-era graphics down to PS1-era graphics.

#Pcsx2 emulator slowing on lots of polygons Ps4#

You know how the mobile port of FFXV looks-same game, lower-detail textures, all the models replaced with re-rendered low-poly versions? It’d totally be possible to build a PS4 (or any other 3D console) emulator that can achieve that effect “automatically.” We already have “HD texture packs” for emulators like Dolphin and Citra. What are you going to do drop some on the floor?īut actually, something like that might be possible. But there’s only so much accuracy you can trade off when the only thing you’re really being asked to do is push polys. They’re striving just to get the darn thing to run.

Modern GPUs (and even a PIII’s IGPU is “modern”) are scary compared to back then.Īccuracy makes things slower, sure, but the PS2 emulators in question (like Play!) aren’t striving for accuracy.

Like I said, PS1 emulators like ePSXe run fine on everything. Even if you optimized it 6x, so that the Tegra got 60FPS, the Pi4’s Videocore GPU wouldn’t be pulling nearly that.) (And, while Play! isn’t the most optimized of emulators, it’s the one you’d have to use on aarch64. Or, for another angle, here’s a forum post about Play! (an emulator that has aarch64 support) running on the Nintendo Switch’s Tegra X1. Probably all you need here, to answer this question in theory, is to compare raw benchmark scores between those components and the Pi4’s CPU/GPU.

Nvidia Geforce 9600GT / 8800GT or better.

Intel Core 2 Duo / Core i3 3.2Ghz or faster.

, that says the recommended specs are something like: There’s this forum post linked to on the PCSX2 website. It’s even more just a polygon pusher than the PS1 and the 3D is still generations-old. I imagine this is still true of the PS2 to an extent. the SNES, because most of what it does is push polygons, and PS1 games just don’t push very many of them so even the most anemic mobile GPU core is more than enough to handle the load. It'd be easier to reverse engineer the rendering engines in popular PS2 games and to simply port them.Įmulating the PS1 is a lot easier on modern hardware than emulating e.g. So while it's 'possible', I don't think it'll happen at playable framerates. More than what PS2 got, but the margins for emulation are uncomfortably low. I think RPi4 has just one 32-bit DDR4 channel at 2400 MHz, which yields just 9.6 GB/s theoretical maximum bandwidth. Emulating PS2 300 MHz MIPS core would be a walk in the park compared with the other issues.īut memory bandwidth might be the true showstopper. A single RPi4 core would far exceed those, but using it in an emulator might be very hard, because you'll probably need to synchronize execution and to emulate PS2 internal memory model. You'd need to have very clever ways to emulate the 'Emotion Engine', like VPU0 and VPU1 vector processors.

Pure CPU computational performance wise yes. With a herculean effort, way surpassing tricks and techniques used by x86 PCSX2 and other PS2 emulators. XII TZA has a lot of unnecessary changes from IZJSĮvery remaster has the same issue where there's a massive difference in texture resolution and polygon count between characters scaling with how imortant they are.I'm assuming you'd want to have playable framerate. Type-0's multiplayer was removed and replaced with the pointless SP-bot system

VI is the mobile version ported to PC for some odd reason I prefer the gameplay of IZJS and the appearance of Zodiac Age (with the option of different soundtracks), but again, there's no reason the FPS should work the way it does.īut really, SE is very odd about porting/remastering games. Finally, the 2x speed in Zodiac Age is much better for exploring and normal battles than the 3x speed in IZJS, while for fast backtracking and grinding, 4x speed is better than 3x. In IZJS, I only got to try half of the jobs, but with Zodiac Age, I've got a much better picture of what each class does, and the double job system adds replay value. It's also nice being able to have 2 jobs for each character. The graphics look even better and more polished, the audio quality is much better (especially with the remastered music), the loading times are tremendously shorter, and the difference between 60 FPS and 30 FPS is huge. I'd still take Zodiac Age on Steam any day, though.

With proper tweaks, the game looks fantastic on 1080p and performs like a charm (the emulator always running at 100% speed). Originally posted by Serafie1999AD:I tried FFXII IZJS after a long time on PCSX2 today.
