Hello everyone. I hope you're doing great.

For those who still don't know, emulators are now allowed.

Please state what emulator version is being used when submitting your run.

Accepted Emulator:

We recommend using the most recent Nightly Release of PCSX2 as the settings listed below are harder to access on the "stable release" (1.6.0).

PCSX2 (Nightly) v1.7.X or above.

PCSX2 Dedicated Rules:

These settings can be displayed by enabling quick menu (Default: Escape Key).

You must show settings of the core before/after the run, you must match these settings.

Settings -> Bios

  • Please match Bios to Region of the title

  • Disable: Fast Boot

Settings -> Emulation

  • Disable: Enable Multithreaded VU1 (MTVU)

Quality of Life Settings:

Settings -> Interface

  • Disable: Pause On Focus Loss

  • Enable: Render to Separate Window

  • Disable: Pause on Menu [Within the NoGUI Menu]

Settings -> Graphics

  • Use whatever renderer you prefer (Recommended: Vulkan or OpenGL)

  • Enable: No-Interlacing Patches [NTSC-U only]

  • Enable: Disable Interlace Offset

  • Enable: Anti-Blur

If you're running a PAL/NTSC-J title set Deinterlacing to what you prefer, recommended is Blend (Top Field First).

I believe that includes GPU/CPU and frame times along with GS status?

Tunisia
