What is the best PS2 emulator?

[Lukong]

THIS GUY>>>

Sry to be an asshole,but you Child are soooo full of shit. Laptops cannot emulate ps2 games good at all, especially with your specs. onboard Geforce 6150go and 1GB of ram? Lay off the weed ok lol.
My old layout was amd phenom Dual core 4GB's ddr2 ram and 2 geforce 280's, and the ps2 emulator worked ok but it stuttered here and there, and some games just ran to slow. I upgraded to a quad core and 16gb of ram and the emulator plays the games real nice with a hiccup with some games. I bet a 6core processsor will have the games runniing almost flawless. Been messing around with emulators over 10 years, and ps2 about 2 years. In my opinion you need serious cpu power and ram to run the games smoothly. The guy I quoted seriously is full of shit.

Question were you using PCSX2 0.9.6 or 0.9.7 because I remember bringing up a similar conversation up with another person and they were blasting PCSX2, but when I asked what version, they said it was 0.9.5.

Its like people who mistake NO$GBA GBA emulator for NO$GBA DS emulator. In the Situation an emulator will not run because of missing software and Hardware could help with other things like RAM, CPU & Graphic Card Drivers, but it all starts with Oneself and how they choose to change the Problem into a Solution or Solve the Problem. It may not be the emulator that needs to be fast, but the Patience of the User Agent should be stead fast because
All of the Work has already been done by the Inventors of Emulation, Developers of Software, Game Developers, Computer Engineer Technicians, Manufacturers, Retail Stores, Delivery Trucks/Airplanes/Boats, Miners, Plastic Sculptures, etc and all we had to do was Download and Play unless you had to Upgrade/Buy your Hardware.

Also its very sad when you said DDR2 which to me sounds like you got a Desktop which may = Your Not Mobile...unless you have a Flash Drive or DDR2 is also used in Laptops.

Anyways I also came to post this, if the "Blue >>" button is click on it would lead to 2 solutions this one is if the First doesn't help.

I was trying to play DEF JAM - Fight for New York and was getting large blacks columns, so of course I tried different plugins I found out there is another plugin and I think this setting that the other GS plugin I suggested didn't have may be able to solve your problem.

Try This Plugin
GS: GSdx 4600 (MSVC 15.00, SSE2) 0.1.16
-Settings-
Renderer: Direct3D10 (Hardware) OR: Direct3D9
Interlacing (F5): None [Note: Its for shaking & etc]
-D3D Internal resolution (can cause glitches)-
Original PS2 resolution : Checked
-Hardware Mode Settings-
Allow 8-bit textures: Checked


Do do not be afraid to change the resolution settings because it maybe that the "Allow 8-bit textures" options is what allowed me to see the menu. Uncheck Native > or Use Scaling: Choose "Custom" > Enter in Pixel by Pixel to change Resolution [640x640, 800x600, 1024x768, 640x480, etc]

pcsx2 is almost at v1.0 thought i would add my limited knowledge on the subject.

Dude I was just looking on the Official Site of PCSX2 looking at the Compatibility and I saw this

Drakengard 2 | SLUS 21373 | U | PS2 | Playable | 0.9.8
Drakengard | SLUS 20732 | U | PS2 | Playable | 0.9.8
DreamMix TV - World Fighters | SLPM 65384 | J | PS2 | Playable | 0.9.8
Drive to Survive | SLUS 21109 | U | PS2 | Playable | 0.9.8
Driver - Parallel Lines | SLUS 21271 | U | PS2 | Intro | 0.9.9

And then I googled it, but can't say, but when you see it you'll know what to do

And then I was like this

I have been looking in every video put can not find the sloushon to it it lags in digimon world data squad and dragon ball z infinite world I AM SO MAD i am a very great fan of dbz but it does not work sorry i was not much help if you know how to fix the laging in pcsx2 0.9.8 then please write it down in this thread thank you:

Sorry... I'm a newbie here... Just wanted to ask, I checked the official PCSX2 site, lately I'm in for classics, and I chose this:

SLUS 21735 U PS2 Playable 0.9.8

It's specs for Mana Khemia, and here I got in my PC:

OS : Windows XP Professional ver. 2002 SP3
Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU
E7500 @2.93 GHz
2.93 GHz, 1.99 GB of RAM
PAE
VGA : None, currently being repaired >.<, so the graphic work is built-in, or such.

Can I play Mana Khemia on PCSX2 0.9.8? Just to make sure, thx.

Are you saying you have a built in graphics car? As in part of the mother board. If so forget about any hi-level game including emulation. Get a real video card and come on back.

[vilecrasher]

Oh... Alright... I had 9800 GT but the stabilizer's been broken... Guess I should just wait for it, then. Thx again

[J-Sime]

I have a ati radeon hd 4250 video card and with a dual core... anyone knows how to suit settings so that i can make games "playable"?

[Lenteja]

Dude who ever you quoted is a Newbie Emulation User [NEU] cause I now people who got some fine computer compared to mines and yet I can play PCSX2 just fine also its the fact that people don't Google the next PCSX2 emulator(I type in PCSX2 0.9.7 and that's how I found it and same with NO$GBA 2.6a]

My Computer Specs
MS Windows XP Professional SP3
Intel Pentium M processor 2.00GHz
2.0 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5650

Seriously I would Love to tell people, I even made a Tutorial cause people at this other site kept asking about PS2 emulators.

I'm so good at using emulators that I post a list of games I played and like for a joke and made up terms, but I'm a newieee big time when it comes flash cards[I can't afford a DS].

5] NEU - Newbie Emulation User: Has a lot of simple problems with emulators[Reinsert Cartridge]. Doesn't try to understand or think or even play around with settings.

4] IEU - Intermediate Emulation User: Has advance problems with emulators[Freezing]. Follows Tutorials.

3] AEU - Adept Emulation User: Has very Few problems with emulators[Anti-Piracy]. Plays with settings and knows what settings can do. Thinks outside the box.

2] MEU - Master Emulation User: Has no problems with using emulators. Can hack roms[Patch]. Knows the terms of emulators and its functions.

1] COE - Creator Of Emulation: Has created an emulator, plugins and etc[Need I say more]. Possibly hack roms and can do all and anything with emulators.

Are you retarded?
