Duckstation 2?

>> No.10602461

Actually the same guy who created DuckStation, stenzek, did do an awful lot of the big recent fixes for PCSX2, some of which were on the wishlist for over a decade

>> No.10602538

>>10602461
This. As much as he is an insufferable crybaby cumguzzler, Stenzek managed to get PCSX2 out if its decade-long period of stagnation. It tool him a year and a half to do what the other incompetent pieces of trash clowndevs couldn't do in 10+ years. Now I understand why RA never bothered to update their PCSX2 core, since they used the term "here be dragons" to describe the illegible, sloppy and poorly programmed PCSX2 emulator before Stenzek arrived.

>As much as he is an insufferable crybaby cumguzzler
Yeah there is definitely this side to him too (see also: every other emulation dev).
I remember reading somewhere it was him behind the fantastic AetherSX2 too, under an alias, but that he stopped development after cramming ads into the app then suffering the imminent online drama.

I thought ps2 emulation was fucked for the longest time until last year when I updated to nightly and played everything at full speed. Hopefully xbox is next, but I don't think the demand is there

>> No.10602787

>>10602723
The GUI is definitely stuck in the past, nowadays you want something like how PCSX2 or even Dolphin has with a game list, but what's the issue with the controllers? Legitimately wondering since I use an Xbox One controller so it's essentially 1:1 in relative terms.

>> No.10602797

>>10602787
Basically you can only use xbox controllers and there's no way to just pick a controller and config it's buttons like any other emulator.

I know not everyone can afford to do this but I personally use likewise controllers for each emulator
Xbox series controllers for Xbox emulation

There's only 3 right now that I enjoy enough to go back to all the time

>AetherSX2
By the way NetherSX2 is the thing to seek out, it's an unofficial (yet active) mod of Aether which injects the more recent PCSX2 fixes.
You can get decent PS2 emulation on a 2016 Android phone with that or even with Aether - though look for the final build with no ads (or use Nether, which is built over the top of that very build you autists).
