I'm getting some weird texture issues with the emulator. I fired up Kingdom Hearts II (works perfectly!) and Silent Hill 4. I don't know the exact term for this, so I'll just put up some screenshots.

Strangely, this issue is not present in FFXII, at least as far as I can see.

Please help me as soon as possible, because I really want to try out KHII. Looks gorgeous.

And on the subject, what do the interlacing options do, and which one if any is the most recommended?

i play kingdom hearts II perfectly on pcsx2 0.9.6 with the latest plugins>

if you wanna try them >
PCSX2 official beta and beta plugins

i use GSdc 890 (MSVC 15.00, SSE41)0.1.14 because i got a quad core. Maybe you wanna try one of the others (SSE2 or SSSE3).

Good luck!

The beta I used was r877. It's been the most stable emulator I've tried yet, although I haven't tried 0.9.6 yet.

The emulator had a "Logarithmic Z" option, which managed to erase the weird shader effect, but the game now suffered from disappearing textures, like the roads on the floor, the signs in houses, and flowers. It's not nearly as bad as the previous problem, but now I wonder how I can remove it entirely.

I've also gotten a couple of audio issues. In DQVIII, the voices sound slightly garbled, but it's a much bigger problem in ZOE2, where every time someone speaks the game slows to a crawl.

Can the plugins you linked be used on the beta that I'm using, or does it have to be the specific one linked?

i also play DQVIII on this same emul and sound is perfect...only lags a little on some large battles with 6 or more enemies (but that's because of FPS drop whitch is my crappy graphic card's fault)

It's a problem with the dx9 mode of GSdx.
If you can, use dx10. Fixes all of those and usually is faster, too

 

[One Free Bullet]

Usually when I switch to DX10, it runs slower for me, but I haven't tried it on this beta yet. Do you usually recommend software or hardware?

 

[One Free Bullet]

Okay, DX10 definitely did the trick. It removes all the issues I had before.

But now I have some questions relating to getting the best image quality along with performance. This is all still done with r877.

I set the D3D internal res to 1920x1080. By doing this, KHII looks phenomenal. However, it also started to chug quite a bit.

So I then messed around with the speed hacks included in the beta.

This improves the speed greatly, but I still get some bits of slowdown when running around town. I also get these large black holes in the ground.

Final Fantasy X, on the other hand, runs perfectly with no issues whatsoever, with the exception of a weird one: during battles, some characters or enemies are facing the opposite direction.

Final Fantasy XII, though, is pretty much slow most of the time.

So, what settings, plugins, or other changes can I do to keep the wonderful 1920x1080 resolution, but also have the games run at full speed? Should I change the internal res to something more stable? Or is there an SVN build that's more stable than r877?

 

[One Free Bullet]

Bump, please help me with my current questions. I at least want to know if I can improve the speed with a more stable build, or with plugins.

No, the high resolution is making your vga card run at its limits.
Just lower the resolution to 1600 * 1080, or try 1280 * 1024. Something like that.
