Video Playback!

[ Posted by CKemu 16:09 on 16 09 05 ]

Saqib fixed a large portion of IPU (Image Processing Unit) support in PCSX2, whilst this work is highly WIP and only just happened, it is giving impressive results.

Videos (FMV's, cutscenes etc) had previously required patches to skip past them, otherwise the emulator would hang, now many games are playing videos (all be it very broken looking in many cases!), examples of games now showing FMV playback would include: Onimusha 2, Onimusha 3, R: Racing, Project Zero, Soul Calibur II, Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 etc.

Video support will greatly increase the compatibility of PCSX2 and open up even more games for testing and viewing pleasure.

To show you this good news our tester Rudy_X produced a video from Final Fantasy X DEMO to show you video playback and how it allows you to progress further into the game!

NOT SUITABLE IF YOU SUFFER FROM EPILEPSY

This video is divX and is being shared using Bit Torrent, thus you will need a Bit Torrent client such as Azureus to get this video!

Video Special!

[ Posted by CKemu 16:52 on 05 09 05 ]

Having broken the 100,000!! unique visitor count, and nearing the 500,000 page clicks mark we decided to thank all the people who have visited this site, and support the project with a few videos from the current WIP 0.9 version.

All videos are divX and are being shared using Bit Torrent, thus you will need a Bit Torrent client such as Azureus to get these videos!

Four videos for you to enjoy:

Final Fantasy X - Ingame At Kilika
2 Minutes 44 Seconds | 28.7MB | Real Ingame Speed - 10-32 FPS.

Guilty Gear Isuka - Ingame Fighting Action
2 Minutes 12 Seconds | 23.4MB | Real Ingame Speed - 20-25 FPS.

Rakugaki Onkoku 3D Intro
2 Minutes 28 Seconds | 19.4MB | Real Ingame Speed - 10-15 FPS.

Virtua Fighter 4 - Evolution - Some fun ingame action!
2 Minutes 35 Seconds | 27.6MB | Real Ingame Speed - 10-15 FPS.

All the videos where recorded through GSdx and are automatically sped up, so you are NOT watching actual emulated speeds! The real FPS is shown under each video link! Given that these videos are being shared through Bit Torrent, we ask if you could seed (share) these files for aslong as possible!

Thankyou for visiting, and enjoy the videos!

Configuration Guides

[ Posted by Bositman 16:24 on 29 08 05 ]

Ok so with the new site the guide and translations were down for a bit but everything is back up again. We are currently thinking of even converting it to .chm format, so it will be easier to use (downloadable and not web based)... we shall see on that regard.

Anyway, here are the links of the guide and all translations:

PCSX2 - Site Re-launch

[ Posted by CKemu 18:03 on 22 08 05 ]

PCSX2 has been running for over three years now, and it was high time this project got a new site design! Well here it is! We hope you like

The site now has a much improved compatibility section, which is continiuesly updated. Currently it shows what you can expect from the future 0.9 release. So far only 250 games have been entered, out of the 500 or so we do test! Check back regularly!

Downloads have been made clearer, and the site now has a fresh screenshots section, where the best shots will be posted. Many other things have been added, so please browse around and explore!

The site was designed by CKemu and coded by Falcon4ever. We would both like to thank the developers, betatesters and our host Bobbi for their help and support. An apology from myself, for putting up "..is dead!" - sorry if I scared any of you

The site isn't technically complete yet. Whilst all parts function, there is much more to do, but both myself and Falcon4ever are pressed for time, so we shall work on it whilst the site is public!
