    I'm surprised so many people haven't been using the nightly build.
  • @CaptainPeanut
    Super straight forward and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks pal!
  • I sometimes put the resolution to the PS2's native 512 x 448i because you get a genuine look of the system that way. I can't explain why, but while I love the crisp higher res of the Dreamcast and Xbox, the softer look of the PS2 with the interlaced flicker just looks so... nice? I disable that horrible motion blur they used on PS2 90% of the time however.

    good video, but an important note. at 5:03 you say that the emulator is asking if you want it to scan for new games on startup, but the emulator does this anyways. its actually asking you if you want to search for games recursively, aka do you want it to search for games in a folder within the folder you selected. for example: games folder: d:/games but maybe you have a multi disc game like devil may cry 2, so you store its roms in a folder within the game folder (i.e: d:/games/devil may cry 2) searching recursively will make it so that the roms in d:/games/devil may cry 2 show up in the list, if you say no however they will not appear in the list at all, since the emulator will only search for FILES in d:/games, but wont open any folders inside that folder

    This looks like Duckstation now. I installed this ps2 emulator. It is great that it looks just like duckstation which makes it easy to use. It works great. Works well with my xbox controller.

    Cool! I'm gonna see if the performance in SSX3 is been stabilized a bit better.
  • Just WOW! Brother,you are the GOAT,im serious. Im at my 40s and i love playing games from when i was teen and later,mame32 and pcxs2 are a treasure for us over 35. I would love to see also a guide about best mame32(which one the best,most working games etc) and how to set it up,and also,something important,how to install and activate cheats on pcxs. No,im not a game cheater and i never loved using cheats in my games,but,one of my favorite games is Shadow of the Colossus,i still have the retail copy on my shelf and once,i tried to activate the cheats for the unlocked items only and no matter the guides i found online and on youtube,i couldnt activate them no matter what.
