Message: [QUOTE="qw90700, post: 340529, member: 660650"] PS2 is a console in a way its emulator requires specific patches for some games to mimic how its visuals look like "from scratch" because it's not something "just reverse engineer the console for software simulation and everything will work as it works in the original console" thing. Because of it especially "not so popular games" may never work ok (mostly graphically) when they would polish popular ones and then call it a day. That being said the most popular PS2 emulator issue is shadows in some games, and then some post-processing effects (that software graphical emulation fixes it as much as I know, so the issue is at proper hardware emulation). PS2 has its own way of working that it's not how PCs and other consoles work, which is why it likely to cause graphical problem due to hardware emulation. For example the way its eDRAM for graphics have 48 GB/s bandwidth enabled clever methods for what you can do graphically and it covered weakness of its low memory size to hold data by not needing to hold data (that much) when it can swap data that fast, which Metal Gear Solid 3 and Gran Turismo 3's graphics are very popular examples to mention regarding this topic and it's why ports of MGS 3 lacks that much graphics quality by lacking significant post-processing effects for they cannot handle that as much as PS2 does. For example MGS 3 ports suffers from frame drops because the game was designed for how PS2 works (specifically how eDRAM works), and the way it works is not how typical computers users use and video game consoles works, however the closest console to PS2 is XBOX 360 (the way it works) and that's why MGS 3 frame rates not of a big deal issue on XBOX 360.
