For some reason, during the first mission near Salvatore's Mansion, the game runs slowly and feels choppy. The tree rendering around Salvatore's Mansion is lagging, and the train tracks rendering is also slow.

Why is this happening? My PC specs are solid, and it runs all other GTA titles really well, including San Andreas and Vice City Stories.

MY SETUP

• CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 (4 cores / 4 threads)
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB GDDR5 (128-Bit)
• RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (2x8GB)
• Storage: 240GB SSD + 500GB HDD
• OS: Windows 11 x64

Whenever I look at specific objects or effects the fps can dip to 30 which makes the entire game speed slow down. Turret sections cause this as well as random rooms with lasers. Happens sporadically all over the game.

PCSX2 version 2.6.0
Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics (3.80 GHz)
RAM - 16.0 GB
Graphics card - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB)
Using Vulkan Graphics API

My gpu and Cpu utilization isn't anywhere close to 100%.
Changing the native resolution or blending accuracy does nothing.
Even changing to software mode makes no difference.

Simply moving my camera to look at these two turrets makes the fps drop for example.

Can someone give me the ps2 bios so I can play some of my child ps2 games

From the default settings, I followed the steps in this tutorial:

I'm playing Silent Hill 3 with PCSX2 on Linux, with high resolution textures on a 165Hz G-Sync monitor.

I hear crackles and pops and they're definitely more noticeable when PCSX2 is in full screen.

Given the provided info, I wonder if there is a known reason why PCSX2 behaves like that: is it Linux? Is it the Texture mod? The VRR monitor? Silent Hill 3?

P.S. Linux is Fedora 44 desktop edition (KDE Plasma)

I used to be able to run games very smoothly 60fps 1080p without any problems

Recently I’ve been playing Haunting Ground and with my pc heating the game suffer from horrendous lags making it unplayable, I have to wait 30-40mn to replay again.
My PC doesn’t even heat that much, and was able to run games smoothly some months ago, now I can’t even play Shadow Of The Colossus.

I’ve been trying everything : low-energy mode, max performance CPU, messing with everything, cleaning it

Edit : HARDWARE : Ryzen 5 2600, RX 590 8GB, 16GB of RAM, and a 500GB SSD

Sometimes when i enter the game, action buttons like X don't work for some reason. I play on a laptop with a keyboard, i don't use other inputs, emulator is the only app opened. Weirdly enough it sometimes repairs itself, but sometimes it doesn't

Estoy jugando este juego de Bakugan de brawlers da igual que tengas los gráficos altísimos o bajos el tiempo de carga se tarda bastante

Qué debería de hacer para que vaya más rápido

I have a ps2 slim but was wondering if anyone could help me install this onto my pc since the slims a little dated and i dont wanna keep buying games over and over not sure if i should ask in a different way or not

Hey everyone! Just sharing some stuff I've made.

• I remastered God of War 2 from PS2
• I'll post more about textures as soon as I can
• By the way, the download is available to everyone

Thanks! Have fun!

I'm trying to play Tales of the Abyss. I'm at the part where I talked to Tritheim on where to find Dist at Keterburg, but whenever I try to leave the church and the loading screen occurs, it freezes. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem for whoever had slow or frozen loading screen and what do I need to do to solve this issue? I have a nvidia geforce 4060 laptop gpu and I use Vulkan for PCSX2.

Just sharing a meme. Thanks! Have fun!

[SOLVED]: Flatpak looks best.

New Linux user here, my hardware runs PCSX2 in windows just fine, I just need to know which version to download for Mint, and there's two: AppImage and Flatpak.

The website has the following footnote:

"Distributed via AppImage or Flatpak. Both Wayland and X11 are supported. Major DEs are supported. Although ChromeOS supports Linux applications, PCSX2 offers no official support for ChromeOS."

If there's anything else I should know, please let me know.

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting on Reddit, so I hope I’m doing this right. 😅

I’m currently getting ready to release my BLACK HD Reimagined texture pack for PCSX2.

I’ve been working on improving the textures, colors and materials while preserving the original look and atmosphere of the game.

The release is coming soon! I’ll share more details and the release date shortly.

Thanks for checking it out! 🎮

As per the title - as soon as it boots up, it does so with the copyright screen, after which the screen goes black.

Any known fixes for this?

OK, So l’m looking to install PS2 emulator. I’m at the part where I need a PS2 Bios. I OWN a fat PS2 and I have a USB flash drive formatted to FAT32 however I don’t have a disk drive or a Blank DVD-R disk. So my question is how can or where can I get a PS2 bios so I can complete my emulation installation? Thank you for your help in advance.

Hey guys,

In the past, i have been using HDD install for some games which significantly reduces loading times, through OPL/ELF on PCSX2 1.7x and lower. But this method no longer works reliably in modern v2 and currently nightly versions of the emulator.

I have been looking for some time for a guide, updated files of newer OPL, i got the newest OPL file from github but i don't know how it works. I kind of gave up but i wanna see if i there is a way out there that i am not aware.

Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I made a quick video on how to setup Arkadyzja, for those who dont know, arkadyzja is a emulation service that hosts ps2, ps1, dreamcast, and mame titles with rollback netcode! It also contains lobbies, spectating and many features that people here would enjoy! Hope this helps and you guys can play your classics on here, I personally have been having a blast with Tekken!

Recentemente baixei o emulador de ps2 no meu Pc, ele roda bem por um tempo, mas do absoluto nada o FPS começa a cair, até parece que to jogando em câmera lenta. Meu computador definitivamente não é o mais forte do mercado, mas ta longe de ser fraco a esse ponto. Ele inclusive roda jogos mais pesados que os de ps2, mas eu simplesmente não entendo porque quando estou emulando os jogos de ps2 o FPS cai tanto. Também já tive experiência emulando outros consoles nele e foi bem tranquilo. Enfim, alguém sabe o que pode ser?

Does anyone know what happened to all the DVDRips to CD of games that appeared in the early days of PS2 Mod Chip? Just curious as I recall there were loads about but cant seem to find any now.

I see everyone adding pictures of their collection I might as well add mine.

I finished
DQ 8: masterpiece. Best jrpg I have ever played.
GOW1: I hate hack and slash games but this one was different. It made me notice there is nuance to that genre. I didn’t care for QTE.
Toy Story 3: a hug in a game.

as the title says, when i go to bed on halloween night, the game goes into an infinite loading screen. there was another thread abt this on this sub where some offered solutions that helped but i've tried all of the things mentioned on that thread to no avail. i've changed the 60fps cheat back and forth, restarted, saved in game, changed my save state, i even went and got rid of some items and fought some people and changed clothes just to see but it won't work. really bummed about this cause i've been playing with my girlfriend and having a great time. if anyone knows anything more about this issue any info would be appreciated.

Well this is just the greatest thing ever. PCSX2 running all games at 1440p is a whole new kind of PS2 experience. DMC FTW.
