Support - General Issues playing on ROG Ally

0 Upvotes

As stated, I've got PCSX2 running on my ROG Xbox Ally and, for the most part, it works great. I've just run into a couple issues that I cannot seem to find a solution for.

First off, my games only ever want to run in windowed mode for some reason. I've got the graphics settings set to widescreen and borderless but, for some reason, the program bars at the top and bottom of the screen won't go away no matter what I try.

Secondly, I've noticed that with most games I play, within a few seconds of getting past the title screen the game starts to slow down dramatically, to the point it feels like everything is running in slow motion.

I have scoured the internet and tried every solution I could find, but nothing has solved these two issues yet. Any tips or help is greatly appreciated.

Support - General How to get faster FPS

1 Upvotes

So I am playing GT4 and when I go turbo mode (set to unlimited) I get roughly 80-90 FPS in B-Spec but then when I go into the Monitor mode, it drops to 45-48. Without turbo mode on, it is 15 FPS. This seems really low but not sure if its just how the game is or not. I'm running D3D 12 but get same results on Vulkan. I am also upscaling 5x but even on native it is the same.

Edit: I have changed the settings in my GPU control panel to uncap the 180 and still having same issue.

Support - General Don’t really have enough space in my room for a real PC. Any good laptops for software rendering?

0 Upvotes

I probably should post this somewhere else instead, but my Ideapad 1 seems to not do so well with some games in the software renderer, specifically the Ace Combat games. Do any of y’all know some laptops that can do the job well without frame drops that are emulator specific? I ask because my room doesn’t exactly have enough space for me to fit a PC inside; maybe I could fit a micro ATX build in there but the electricity bills would probably start begging me like hell for mercy. Keep it under $800 if possible (probably not in this day and age).

P.S. the Ideapad has a Ryzen 7 5700U inside without a dGPU plus it has 16 GB DDR4. And I sometimes use OBS for some video captures.

Update: mb, I’ve been so used to 60 FPS that it lwk got implanted to me that higher values are too good to be true.

1 Upvotes

This was one of my favorite games of childhood with the hotswap mechanic never replicated anywhere else. Please help me experience it.

PC spec: 10850K, 6900XT, 32 GB ram, SSD & ps5 controller.

The game works but at low speed (almost 50% speed). Tried speeding up to 200% but the speed does not change in campaign, speed change only works in menu.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I've used both 1.6.0 and 2.0 and I still get a giant vertical line in the middle of my screen in NASCAR Thunder 2004 and sometimes TWPGAT2004, sometimes in native res up to 6K. It's been 4 years of this, is it an upscaling issue or something else?

Support - General cheats won't activate

0 Upvotes

my issue is that i downloaded some cheats for pcsx2, i made sure the file was renamed to the crc code, i made sure it was a .pnach file, i made sure to enable cheats, etc. i did everything right. and when i boot up the game, it says in the top left corner "17 cheat patches active." so clearly they're working, but for some reason, if i try to put in the normal san andreas actviation code, it doesn't work. so then i look through the actual cheats and it tells me to put in a different code altogether. that different code is like "hold down l1 then press the down arrow for weapon set (whatever)" even if i do that, it doesn't work. wtf is going on? how do i fix it? do i just like go through and download only the specific cheats i want to have work? i know my keyboard mapping is correct

Support - General Is there any way to convert a USA save file to a PAL save file? Does it even matter?

4 Upvotes

I have my old save file from the USA version of Shadow of the Colosssus and I want to replay it. The thing is that I want to use the HD texture pack made by Sad Origami and the best version to use it is the pal version. I could use a program to make the textures into the USA version but it has some reported errors during gameplay.

Is there any program that I could use to convert my USA file to the PAL version?

Still working on improving it and getting some of the shadows back. I think the camera jitters a lot—it's very noticeable without motion blur. That said, I think playing without motion blur is worth it. I had an amazing time, though. My 12-year-old self would have been very happy.
