Odin 2 - AetherSX2 Texture Packs & Settings For PS2

Рет қаралды 20,223

Here is a guide and showcase of textures imported and used in AetherSX2 for Playstation 2. Had some interesting memory/speed issues when playing these games, can't 100% be certain if I got it down but I explain in the video what I did for the games and maybe the memory swap script I've linked below that people have been using for improved Switch emulation might've ended up helping.

I regret not actually trying the MGS3 60fps code here, it works great and didn't have any slowdowns. I put a link for more 60fps codes in the description.

Can you show how to play old pc Games (PC 9800) like visual novels on the Odin 2 pro without streaming? Maybe with winlater or exagear?

It would be amazing if you put up a video that described common backend settings what they are and the purposes for each. Basically to help us all customize and tweak settings as we go a bit more intuitively. I just endlessly toggle on/off settings reboot and test. Going at it with more understanding would be HUGE.

Awesome vid - been great watching/learning as i build up my odin2 max. I love discovering black on ps2, but i'm getting slowdown using the 60fps and 2x res that you dont seem to (generally around alpha/transparencies). Is there another setting i'm missing?

Great video. Finally someone who covers VP2. I know its gonna be weird but can you check for the most problematic games’ problematic parts? Like glitches and stuff for ps2 games? I know that VP2 has a glitch in the dungeon maps area with ice skill and all. I think what people actually wonder(who are on the edge of buying) is whether these devices can run these late in the life cycle of the console games which were pushing ps2 to the edge. Same with Wii I remember for example Last Story had an awful performance. Just a suggestion, love your sincere videos.

@-roetaka 7 ай бұрын

If I ever get round to playing VP2 I'll cover info on it. The Odin2 will play all PS2, Gamecube and Dreamcast. If people say a certain game here or there is having problems on it I'm mostly confident I could get it working one way or another but I've only come across one game with major issues and that was Rebel Strike on the Gamecube. I remember getting The Last Story running decent enough on MMJR on my Odin Pro so I'm confident the Odin 2 could handle it.

@-roetaka 7 ай бұрын

I'm not really aware of any texture packs for PS1 but I guess people could upscaled pre-rendered backgrounds in games like Final Fantasy. I think the best you can probably do is already in the settings of Duckstation (the PS1 emulator I use) as you can upscale really nicely and remove things like the polygon jitter that was inherent with the ps1 hardware.

@Alvaro_93 7 ай бұрын

@@-roetaka thank you! Is there any advantage in using duck station instead of retroarch? Or why do you use duck station?

@-roetaka 7 ай бұрын

@@Alvaro_93 I'd have to research if one is better than the other, I just like Duckstation a lot and that's what my frontend will boot my games from. I think Duckstation gives you more options to enhance the games though. Apparently it can use retroachievements if you're into that...I'm looking at a reddit page on best ps1 android emulators and there's a lot of love for Duckstation there.

@-roetaka 7 ай бұрын

This is NetherSX2, so I had to build it they can't distribute it for legal reasons. If you go to the AetherSX2 discord there's a help page that has pinned info about how to build with an app called Termux. It wasn't complicated and it allowed me to use the most up to date AetherSX2 with no ads, works with launchers and certain games like MGS3 that didn't launch for me now do.

Once you've added the textures, how do you 100% know it's using them? Is there a notification that's supposed to appear when you load the game?

@-roetaka 7 ай бұрын

There isn't a notification unfortunately. I was showing that I was toggling the Software Renderer on and off to show that the textures were also being removed then added again. Sometimes the title screen will actually change too like "HD Edition" or something like that.

You can still just move files from the internal to the Android/Data folders, I tried to explain that in text in my Dolphin video but Dolphin does have an import/export feature and that's what I used so I figured it was worth covering it in the end.

@-roetaka Did you experience any analogue issues for up-left whilst playing Suikoden 3?

@-roetaka 7 ай бұрын

I've experienced it in several games and calibrating the sticks didn't help much. You need to go to android settings and scroll to the bottom to Odin settings, then down to Joystick calibration & Gamepad test and then Gamepad Test. Hold your finger on the left or right stick on the screen and choose Adjust joystick sensitivity. I found I needed it to be around 1.40 to work best, but that might be a bit much, your sticks should reach the edges of the circle easier now.

@rancidwease1 7 ай бұрын

I’ve only had it in Suikoden 3 so far. I think it’s just a known issue with the emulation of the game, as I’ve just found complaints in a forum from 2012 with the same problem 😂

Ok, so after a bit of tinkering…I tried applying the right analogue controls to the left stick, but this resulted in up-left switching to down-right. BUUUUT, applying the D-Pad controls to the left stick works 😁 only problem is, you have to hold the X button to run, otherwise your character will always walk

Ah yeah I really should've tested up until there. So the only fix I found was to set your resolution to 1.75x, that's the highest you can go before that error can be replicated...just something to do with how the game handles resolution. I'm not sure if there's a better fix than that but that's how I solved it before, at least that resolution is still in HD territory.

Guy said he wasn't going to play Black, then he gets some awful looking "High res" texture pack and now it is all of the sudden fun to him. This is the type of "gamer" that ruins the industry. So not only does he do a poor job explaining the process, he is an absolute clown.
