[MENTION=15943]UmerF[/MENTION] - Definitely use the emulator if you don't have a PS2 on hand. The emulator has a bunch of nifty graphical options.
Great so hopefully I won't have issues but what about graphical glitches mentioned by others? Can they be avoided with good enough specs?
Your build will rock Snake Eater at 4x internal resolution and give smooth 30 FPS I bet. I tried the game on my i3 2100 and it worked decently. If it doesn't work as well as expected, there are some speed hacks present in the emulator that give the illusion of smoothing the gameplay. It works quite well. A 40 FPS game would look like a 60 FPS game with it enabled. So you should definitely give it a try, and also try other emulated games like SoTC, Persona if you haven't played the re-released version of them already.
Great. Since my rig is high end and a 4K gaming machine will I have issues with graphical issues too or they are just software issues that can't be avoided at all with any hardware?
I have G-Sync as well which smoothens the game play in general in all games so perhaps that'll also come in handy in addition to already implemented features in the emulator?
How high can the resolution go? Any chance of playing them in 4K with full screen?
PCSX2 is very CPU intensive, isn't it? MGS3 runs in slow-mo on my Core 2 duo. The codec segments, cutscenes and audio are absolutely fine though. I've tried tinkering around with the settings but it isn't helping matters.
The speed hacks aren't improving performance either.
Damn. Hopefully my rig can handle that as I don't want to buy a ps2 just to play those games.
I have a I5 2500k and games run fine, Except for the Graphical glitches which are sometimes unbearable.
You can't avoid them because of hardware or software issues?
