The way they did put their effort and focus on the User Experience so much to make it as automatic as possible in this major release makes me love the PCSX2 team even more, collaborating with duckstation was a huge W

good video, but an important note. at 5:03 you say that the emulator is asking if you want it to scan for new games on startup, but the emulator does this anyways. its actually asking you if you want to search for games recursively, aka do you want it to search for games in a folder within the folder you selected. for example: games folder: d:/games but maybe you have a multi disc game like devil may cry 2, so you store its roms in a folder within the game folder (i.e: d:/games/devil may cry 2) searching recursively will make it so that the roms in d:/games/devil may cry 2 show up in the list, if you say no however they will not appear in the list at all, since the emulator will only search for FILES in d:/games, but wont open any folders inside that folder

Just a tip, If you want crystal clear smoothed graphics you should go under internal resolution and set it to "4x Native" and turn on FXAA contrast sharpening to "sharpen and resize display resolution" you can also turn dithering to completely off to remove the muddy texture overlay, it looks absolutely amazing on my RTX laptop

I didn't know there'd been a new update, thanks! Been on the last stable version for ages, nice to be able to get all the new enhancements.

Glad to see 2.0 come out. Jesus loves you!

Super straight forward and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks pal!

I sometimes put the resolution to the PS2's native 512 x 448i because you get a genuine look of the system that way. I can't explain why, but while I love the crisp higher res of the Dreamcast and Xbox, the softer look of the PS2 with the interlaced flicker just looks so... nice? I disable that horrible motion blur they used on PS2 90% of the time however.

imo because of the low res textures in the dreamcast, i think it looks the best at its native resolution. even better if you have a 4:3 or 5:4 monitor that can support that resolution. i feel the same way about the ps2 as well, but the textures and models are a little bit better than that. xbox is definitely good looking at higher resolutions, with its higher poly count and texture resolution. makes sense why the xbox one and series games run those at 720p - 4k.

Something to clarify, AMD GPUs have awful OpenGL support, so if you have AMD your second best bet after Vulkan if you have a card on the older side is Either DX12 or DX11, benchmark to see wich is better, even if you have Vulkan benchmark, I have a R7 360 (wich I know it's ancient) and in some games DX12 performs better than Vulkan and Viceversa.
