PCSX2 - A PS2 EMU
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
Here it is. A first try for an ps2 emulator...
|
||||
Of course it isn't very advance now but there are some stuff here...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
Well i will try to catch up some questions.
|
||||
First of all pcsx2 don't run Ps2 games yet!
|
||||
And of course it is far from doing this.
|
||||
So pcsx2 don't run GT3, get it? :)
|
||||
So what pcsx2 is? pcsx2 is a try to emulate sony's beast.
|
||||
Of course it isn't so easy as it might seems.
|
||||
So far you can consider pcsx2 as a develop tool althought
|
||||
i suggest don't use pcsx2 as a tool for writing your ps2dev
|
||||
stuff :). Consider the opinion that pcsx2 have bugs and we
|
||||
wrote this emu by reverse enginnering ps2 demos that might
|
||||
have bugs too :)
|
||||
Hope you enjoy pcsx2..
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Cpu Options:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Misc Options:
|
||||
|
||||
* Enable Console Output:
|
||||
Displays the psx text output.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Enable patches
|
||||
Enable the patches for games.(if they exist).
|
||||
Might fix some stuff might screw some stuff.
|
||||
Enable it at your own risk.
|
||||
|
||||
* Enable pad hack.
|
||||
if your pads doesn't seem to work if you enable that much fix the pads for the specific game.
|
||||
Warning!! not leave that option checked might broke some other games as well
|
||||
|
||||
Recompiler options:
|
||||
|
||||
* Disable Recompiler (default). It will run with interpreter if it is ON.
|
||||
Slower but more compatible.
|
||||
|
||||
* Disable Vu recompiler (default). Will disable the vu recompile
|
||||
(of course if recompile mode is used). More compatible recompiler but slower.
|
||||
|
||||
* Enable reg caching (disabled in 0.6)
|
||||
Enable the reg caching recompiler (you must have enable interpeter cpu off!)
|
||||
It is more faster than the default recompiler
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Quick Keys:
|
||||
F1: Save state
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Status
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
Most part of ps2 have been emulate.
|
||||
|
||||
Things that are still missing or uncomplete
|
||||
|
||||
IPU : decoding almost done. Pcsx2 can play *.ipu or *.m2v files but no pss yet
|
||||
VU : there are several issues with graphics ingames. Still we are not sure if it is GS, VIF or VU problems
|
||||
but we are looking for it
|
||||
recompiler: planning for fast reg cache core and recompile of vus . Soon :P
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
and of course a million other bugs that exists and we hope they will be fixed ;0
|
||||

RunCDVD - New feature explained
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What CDVD stands for?
|
||||
|
||||
A: It is a short form for CD/DVD i.e. CD or DVD.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can I run games?
|
||||
|
||||
A: What do you mean by games?
|
||||
There are two types of games: commercial ones and homebrew ones.
|
||||
There are also two types of demos: from magazines and homebrew.
|
||||
Homebrew SW will run first as they are simpler and are open-source sometimes.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can I run commercial games?
|
||||
|
||||
A: Yes, but this answer is not good for you:P
|
||||
You cannot play them...
|
||||
Technicaly, the game starts but it does not go very far,
|
||||
because this is only the beginning...
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: So, what's the deal then? Is there any game that run? more?
|
||||
|
||||
A: Yes, but as far as we know, not any comercial game.
|
||||
Homebrew iso version of PSMS runs ok.
|
||||
Also we cannot test with all the games as we don't have them all:P
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: When can I play game X ?
|
||||
|
||||
A: Dunno, only time can say that...
|
||||
We only added the CDVD loading option for now.
|
||||
You will have to wait for another version of the emu to see any screenshot.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: How do I run a CD/DVD game or iso/bin?
|
||||
|
||||
A: You need a CDVD plugin.
|
||||
Get the CDVDbin for Windows & CDVDlinuz for Linux
|
||||
from http://pcsx2.ngemu.com (Download section) or from http://www.ngemu.com
|
||||
Place it in Plugins directory. Run the emu and in configure dialog choose
|
||||
that plugin. Then Run->Execute. When using the CDVDbin plugin
|
||||
you will be promted to choose a file to use.
|
||||
Select the iso or the bin of the game you own.
|
||||
(To test that use psms.iso)
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I have the game X on CD/DVD. What's the iso/bin stuff anyway?
|
||||
|
||||
A: Well, if you have a game on CD/DVD and a bad CD/DVD drive,
|
||||
you can backup it on the harddisk with a CD/DVD recording program or a simple
|
||||
iso/bin ripper. That program will make an image of the CD/DVD disc
|
||||
on the harddisk and you can use that image with the CDVDbin plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What's the difference between .iso and .bin formats?
|
||||
|
||||
A: Bin is an image with raw sectors of 2352 bytes.
|
||||
Iso contains only the data part from a CD sector; ie. 2048 bytes
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I have more questions. Where are the answers?
|
||||
|
||||
A: First of all, think twice before asking a question.
|
||||
It might be already answered or the answer is toooooo simple.
|
||||
Also, there can be more questions that i missed. Use the PCSX2 forum
|
||||
on http://www.ngemu.com for that. Thank you!

I will try to explain in sorta how HOST is working..
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Ps2 have the ability to use loader also other than cd-rom.
|
||||
That is done through special syscall. Of course the file that
|
||||
you load must support that..
|
||||
|
||||
Basically we wrote that for PSMS1.2
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see in the psms1.2 zip there is a file called psms-naplink.elf.
|
||||
Well that is basically created from sjeep (hi sjeep) for be able to
|
||||
use psms through your USB naplink to your ps2. (so no need to burn a cd)
|
||||
Well pcsx2 does exactly that. Emulate Host +client (host is your pc,
|
||||
client is your ps2).
|
||||
|
||||
So how is work?
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
Imagine that HOst is your cd-rom .
|
||||
For psms e.g
|
||||
place FILES.TXT + roms in folders that specificate in files.txt and you are
|
||||
ready..
|
||||
|
||||
e.g
|
||||
|
||||
Host
|
||||
FILES.TXT
|
||||
-ROMS1
|
||||
--Alienstorm.sms
|
||||
--IamLamer.sms
|

I think you get the Idea...

*PCSX2 FAQ v0.1*
|

****************
|
||||
|
||||
This FAQ has been written for PCSX2 v0.6
|
||||
|
||||
FAQ Written by: CKemu & shadow
|
||||
_________________________________________________________
|
||||
|
||||
Q: What is PCSX2?
|
||||
|
||||
A: PCSX2 is a WIP PS2 (PlayStation 2) emulator, written by
|
||||
linuzappz, shadow, florin. basara, asadr, goldfinger. PCSX2 is
|
||||
constantly WIP (work in progress), and is in the early
|
||||
stages of development (so don't expect much yet ;) ).
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Why doesn't XYZ game work?
|
||||
|
||||
A: PCSX2 is able to get many games to show 'screens'. Some of the games can reach ingame
|
||||
and less more can be consider playable. Speed is too slow on many of them so 'viewable' is
|
||||
a beter way to describe it :)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Why don't these games work?
|
||||
|
||||
A: PCSX2 is in the early stages of development. It can run some games (many of them without glitches)
|
||||
but the speed issue prevent us of making the emu more compatible.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Where abouts do I find these demos?
|
||||
|
||||
A:You can find some demos at http://pcsx2.ngemu.com or
|
||||
http://ps2dev.livemedia.com.au. There are proberbly more
|
||||
sites with PS2 homebrew demos.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Does PCSX2 require a 'real' PS2 BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
A: PCSX2 can use a 'real' BIOS, and is preferable to HLE
|
||||
BIOS as it is more compatible. But HLE does work well
|
||||
with many homebrew demos.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Why not use HLE?
|
||||
|
||||
A: HLE is a difficult thing to do for a PS2. Game
|
||||
developers use their own modules for each game. That
|
||||
would mean we would have to HLE each module. This would
|
||||
be a massive task, and not a good idea, as emulating
|
||||
the real BIOS will mean compatibility with all released
|
||||
games.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Where do I get a BIOS?
|
||||
|
||||
A: You can dump the BIOS from your own PS2, DO NOT ask us
|
||||
or anyone else for a BIOS, the BIOS is copyright of SONY
|
||||
and is illegal to download, so we won't help you with
|
||||
that.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I try to run a game, or the BIOS, but nothing happens!
|
||||
|
||||
A: If no BIOS screen shows from attempting to run a
|
||||
CD/DVD, your BIOS maybe incorrect. Go to
|
||||
'config>configure', and under the BIOS menu, check that
|
||||
firstly you haven't got the HLE BIOS selected, if you do
|
||||
change to a 'real' BIOS. If you have a 'real' BIOS
|
||||
selected and it still doesn't work, check that NO
|
||||
percentage is written next to the BIOS, if it is for
|
||||
instance "40%", your BIOS is to small (by 60%), or
|
||||
corrupt (by 60%), you may need to redump it. Also if no
|
||||
'real' BIOS is listed, check its not compressed 'eg
|
||||
*.zip / *.rar' and extract it to the BIOS dir (note
|
||||
sub-folders NOT supported, it must be in /BIOS/).
|
||||
|
||||
If that is not the case, your BIOS isn't an actual PS2
|
||||
BIOS. To ensure that doesn't happen, dump your own ;)
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I see lots of glitches with games/demos, why?
|
||||
|
||||
A: Incomplete emulation of the GS, Vector Units etc, this
|
||||
is a WIP emulator, and will have many bugs for some time,
|
||||
until more is known about the PS2 hardware. Things
|
||||
generally improve with each release, so you never know,
|
||||
it may be fixed in the next release.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: How can I help fix these bugs?
|
||||
|
||||
A: Report these bugs to us, post at the offical PCSX2
|
||||
forums at http://www.ngemu.com. Make a post describing
|
||||
the bug/glitch, perhaps with a screenshot showing it,
|
||||
and details on your system setup, what plugins your
|
||||
using etc.
|
||||
|
||||
If you find any other bugs, with regards to the debugger,
|
||||
plugins, or differences between what you see in the
|
||||
emulator and a real PS2, feel free to email us.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: How can I help develop for PCSX2?
|
||||
|
||||
A: You can find the open-source plugins at
|
||||
http://pcsx2.ngemu.com , coding a GS plugin or and SPU2
|
||||
plugin would help us greatly. Also if you have any
|
||||
technical information on the PS2, please email us,
|
||||
anyhelp is greatly appreciated.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Your emulator sucks!! I don't want to use it!
|
||||
|
||||
A: Then don't, buy a real PS2. If you don't like it,
|
||||
just don't and there is no need to tell us you don't
|
||||
like it, the PCSX2 team put alot of hardwork into this
|
||||
emulator, and don't care to know.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Can you give me some more 'technical' answers?
|
||||
|
||||
A: A technical FAQ would be massive, and take months to
|
||||
write. Instead email shadow / linuz with your questions.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: When is the next release?
|
||||
|
||||
A: The next release will happen when there is something
|
||||
to show, internal changes, and technical changes don't
|
||||
mean anything to the user, if they don't see something.
|
||||
Pestering us will make no difference :P
|
||||
|
||||
Q: GSsoft is s..l..o..w!!
|
||||
|
||||
A: Then use one of the OpenGL plugins found at our site

http://pcsx2.ngemu.com or the GStaris plugin
|
||||
( http://gstaris.ngemu.com ).
|
||||
|
||||
Q: The emulator even with GStaris / GSmax is slow! Why?
|
||||
|
||||
A: First of all, the PS2 is a powerfull piece of
|
||||
hardware, and will require a powerfull machine to achive
|
||||
NEAR correct speeds,
|
||||
|
||||
Given that PCSX2 does not run any 'complex' commercial
|
||||
games, it is hard to judge the system requirements that
|
||||
will be eventually needed. Plugins and Emulator will get
|
||||
faster as new releases are made, but you can improve
|
||||
preformance by turning OFF "Enable Console Output" and
|
||||
"Enable Interpreter CPU" under 'config>CPU>' in the menu.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Do I need a DVD drive?
|
||||
|
||||
A: Yes, if you want to read a DVDrom you will need a DVD
|
||||
drive, many PS2 games are written to CDrom, so its not
|
||||
essential, unless you have a DVD based game you wish to
|
||||
try.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use 'Linuz's CDVD ISO' plugin to run PS2
|
||||
games in ISO / BIN format from your HDD. Note only
|
||||
NTFS Format drives (eg not FAT32) can store greater than
|
||||
4GB in a single file.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I hear no sound!
|
||||
|
||||
A: SPU2 Plugins are being worked on by a few coders, but
|
||||
as of now the only SPU2 plugin is nullSPU, which outputs
|
||||
no sound, If you are a coder, and feel you can help with
|
||||
SPU2, please email us.
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Where can I get help!!!
|
||||
|
||||
A: You can get help from the people over at
|
||||
http://www.ngemu.com or on IRC. Using an IRC client, log
|
||||
onto #PCSX2 or #NGEMU (EFnet). You can politly ask for
|
||||
help there (No BIOS / ROM / ISO requests, or you shall be
|
||||
banned). If you cannot get help there, email the PCSX2
|
||||
team.
