Fantastic video, thanks! Hope your channel gets more views, as it is very deserving.

10/10 guide, Harry Mason has never looked so good.

Impressive ! Looking forward to try this as I've been itching to play SH1 again, it's been 15 years now at least

Your video tutorial is so splendid that you've earned my immdiate subscription. Thanks a million for the lovely work and the kindness you convey to all of us at the end.

Greatly done video. All works as it should 👍👍

beautiful video just did this now i'm truly going to enjoy this masterpiece

Says the biggest favor anyone could do is let others experience silent hill too. Man is a true silent hill protagonist in real life.

Thank you so much, one of the best videos for emulator configuration I have ever seen, it is short and you explain what everything does clearly. It was a joy to follow the steps of the video and it is a joy how pretty the game looks now, it will be the first time I play this masterpiece looking this good.

Is it possible to have the same type of video for SH2-3-4? This guide is the best I found on KZread. Dude you're the GOAT.

wow! probably the best tutorial that i've ever used yet! thank you, now you completely motivated me to finally play Silent Hill (i don't usually play horror games, but this story and soundtrack hooked me quick) спасибо!

Thanks 😊 I'll try it out man see if I can too have a good experience playing this gem, then I'll be playing the other Team Silent games.

Because of your video, I could install this and completed it today. May 12th, 2024. Thank you, it was such an experience.

What a video thanks for letting us try the game at it finest

Insane! Thanks 💪

thank you so much for this, subbed

Bro this is my first time emulating and using a pc but I’m glad I stuck thru till the end of this long process!!

Honestly, probably the best Duckstation guide there is. Super high quality, great music choice, easy to follow. Just finished the game today and I just wanted to thank you for helping me get it all set up.

Interface is different by now, still made it work without problems. I´ll return to Silent Hill! Thank you!

For texture filtering you're gonna want to use "Bilinear (no edge blending)", not regular bilinear, or else the tree leaves textures are gonna have an odd white outline around them (it might affect more stuff, but that's what I noticed and changed it from that point on)

For anyone still having issues with the game freezing in the church, try ticking the disable all enhancements option in Duckstation's advanced menu. It allowed the game to continue the cutscene temporarily.

THANK YOU SO MUCH IM COMPLETELY NEW TO EMULATORS N SHIT THIS IS AN AMAZING TUTRIAL

thank you so much!

This game is not designed with widesceeen in mind and I don't believe that panning out the view along with stretched UI assets is really "definitive", also turning off dithering absolutely blows out the intended look, I'd rather have the color depth lowered.

Thank you so much!!

I’ve used most of your settings except overclocking and 60fps, selecting 60fps killed a full screen mode by creating black frame all around. And the only way to get rid of it was to reinstall duckstation. On my laptop PGXP doesn’t make game to freeze is an aspect ratio, so I have to switch back to Auto Game Native before some cutscenes and then I can go back to Full Screen mode again. Otherwise the game will freeze.

how do i get the ps1 bios folder?

im new to gaming, so sorry if there is an easy fix to me question, but i followed everything you said and now i am stuck in a screen that says: silent hill "start" option. i cant click anything and i cant get the game to start. what did i do wrong?

this is briliant

Main problem with duckstation is FMVs decoding is buggy. It's very blocky and grid like. For the game itself it works great. Retroarch with mednafen/beetle is overall better imo

Thanks a lot!

Thanks

@@unsavourylittlerunt Yeah, in my case I found the PGXP toggling wasn't working regardless of what it was set to aswell. It's like it wasn't reading the config file correctly. After updating Duckstation and using the toggle hotkey method just now, it seems to be doing the trick. Tested it out on the bridge control room which is a guaranteed freeze once you walk up to the window. Thank goodness for emulator save states because this would 100x more frustrating than it currently is.

Man I'd just like a video on how to make it look as "bad" as possible. I tweaked around with some shader settings and I'm delighted that I can emulate a CRT look especially with NTSC but I just can't get it to look perfect. Oh well, I guess I'll have to work it out myself, regardless good guide on how to make it look as good as possible.

thx a lot ur amazing

Wish I had found this video two years ago when I played Silent Hill... I cranked up the overclocking but didn't know about the 60 FPS patch to make it truly smooth 🤡

You should do a video on how to get the best experience from an emulator with colony wars, tenchu 1&2 and silent bomber!

Okay so I have a problem with it and I'm hoping u can help. I've applied all the settings and thus far it works perfectly UNTILL I turn on the flashlight. Fps just dropps down to 20 or even 10 sometimes and it gets super laggy. Sometimes the light from flashlight moves with a noticeable distance from Harry. How do I fix this? Note this, everything is smooth again when I turn the flashlight off but when it's on, everything is laggy and slow including the sounds

I cranked that baby up to 16x on an i7 960 CPU with a GTX 1660 Super. Looks amazing. I'm surprised how well optimized duckstation is. I can run it on my 13 year old PC on max settings.

Ok so I've not played this game in more than 20 years... With the freezes caused by the settings, does the game straight up crash when i get to those parts? Or can i disable the settings WHILE it's frozen to proceed? I don't want to have to spoil anything for myself having to know where to turn things off, and I'm not in love with the idea of losing progress to multiple crashes i know are coming, but not where.

also anyone know how o change keybinds. i would prefer to use a controller but i only have an xbox one and it won't work. i can't figure out how to change the keybinds, so im stuck with using like "J" to run for example. cant even figure out what the button is for shooting

Sometimes it has audio issues any fix? Or lover the mhz to around 200%? Also thanks the guide!

What do you mean by it causes the game to hang? Does that mean softlock? Also, when exactly should I disable pgxp? Should I disable it before I go into these areas or during?

Everything in this guide is perfect except one thing! i cant find match window aspect ratio on duck station so im stuck with either stretched 16:9 or 4:3 can anyone help?

LMAO THE CHROME TABS 😭

Is there any way to modify tank controls to your knowledge? Is there a way to play SH1 with analogic controls?

I have a question, when I got to the part about Flauros I was stuck. I removed the PXGP and went to the boss again but when it came time to load the screen remained black. I don't know how to move forward help PD:the voice is delayed to the image, I don't know if it has anything to do with it

You have to change aspect ratio to Auto Game Native before entering Church, bridge and other locations when this issue occurs. When you done than you can go back to Stretch To Fill full screen mode again. Stretch To Fill cause this issue. Hopefully that helps 👍

Does the 60 fps patch have any caveats? Like too fast timers, sped up animations or other gameplay affecting stuff? This will be my first time playing and I don't want to screw it up for myself :)

I come to warn about enabling clock speed control at %400. While it was on, it was impossible for me to dodge the (i dont want to make any spoilers) carousel boss. After MANY attempts, I tried disabling that option, and then it was so easy to beat that boss. I don't know why, but dodging with L1-R1 didn't work at all before disabling the option.

Idk if my pc is bad but whenever I turn on the light after getting into the school the performance just plummets 💀

Will this tutorial contain better controls? What turned me off from playing it as a whole was the controls :/

I actually prefer the pixelated textures and don't turn on advanced filtering, just nearest-neighbour. Filtering makes everything blurry like an N64 or PS2 game. ☹ I noticed pretty bad pop-in, especially during night. This can be reduced by _disabling_ True Color Rendering and enabling Scaled Dithering.

i alreay dissabled all PXGP settings but my game still crash at Upon entering Church to meet Dahlia

This is not working, it still struggles to hit an acceptable framerate. The audio get's so messed up when frames drop it's almost unplayable

This is awesome, but I’m not a PC guy. Silent Hill plays best on a PS VITA for me. The portability and small screen makes the game look better than it would on a tv screen.

Could you please make a walkthrough for duckstation running on xbox series? I did everything and messed around for a long time but cannot make the game run on 60 fps. For some weird reason only the in-game cutscenes seem to run on 60 fps and the rest of the game in the native 30-ish fps. I also have the fps counter enabled and it shows 60 or something like 59.94 but it seems it may just be the "refresh rate" it thinks its running. The game itself surely doesn't run on those fps, I would have noticed that for sure.

@rockapartie

The game has a 30-fps limit. You need to enable both the 60-fps cheat _and_ tick Enable Clock Speed Control in the Console settings menu and set the speed to several times the original one. (Only enable Clock Speed Control on a per-game basis, because many games have issues with higher clock speeds. Also, don't mess around with this setting while a game is running - doing this often leads to crashes.) IDK how the Xbox version looks, but on PC the cheat menu can now be found under System -> Cheats.
