Is this happening to anyone else?

Thanks a ton for the guide. Got it working super smooth on my laptop. Is there any reason I shouldn't use Emu'd MBAA for serious casual (oxymoron!) play? Having mobile Melty is too good.

Nice guide, but is thre any way to tell where the pcx2 plugins are stored?

I want to put those updated ones in but can't find the folder for love nor money.

By default C:\Program Files\Pcsx2\plugins

But you can dump all the plugins to wherever and point pcsx2 to the plugin directory in the config.

Can you post the specs for your laptop? I'm getting a new one in the next few months, and mobile Melty will be a factor in what sort of laptop I get : p

If I want to send someone my save file so they don't have to unlock characters, what file should I send? I see my "memcards" folder, but my pal already has a pcsx2 emulator and I don't want my mcd001.ps2 file to overwrite his when it may overwrite existing files on his. Is there a program I should download that lets me manage save files or something?

Disable that memory card slot
Point it to another file
Backup your pal's file

etc

I'll be sure to check out this thread when i eventually update my PC,
though by that time the PC version is probably out.

Try unchecking allow 8-bit textures. A friend of mine had the same problem, and that was the problem

Thanks I'll try thatnext time I can get hold of the laptop. (Can't right now since it's not mine)

I know I sound like an ass but can someone who is running MBAA with PCSX2 upload a memory card file with all of the characters unlocked. I'm having no luck with it.

Sorry but that didn't fix it at all. I tried running it in software mode and the pixels come back but it's laggy as hell. Anyone know why this might be?

What graphics hardware do you have?

My settings make me able to play almost exactly like MBAC , it only laggs a bit on the char select, but in game its as smooth as it can be, no pixel breaking, no lines

Ugh. My computer is a friggin relic I suppose. It wont let me pick that for the Graphics. It keeps telling me "This cpu doesn't support SSSE3" and I pick SSSE2 and the screen vibrates and is fuzzy and it runs slow and all kinds of other crap

CrimsonMoonMist · « **Reply #41 on:** August 23, 2009, 08:18:39 AM »

do you people believe that this can run decently on a 5 years old computer?

Gold13821 · « **Reply #42 on:** August 23, 2009, 08:23:01 AM »

That depends on how ''powerfull'' you pc is. I don't know how old mine is, but since I bought it from some guy a year ago I suppose it's about 5 years old now and it runs MBAA just fine.

CrimsonMoonMist · « **Reply #43 on:** August 23, 2009, 09:16:31 AM »

I really don't know...
I'll try it out for myself once the game arrives.

Gold13821 · « **Reply #44 on:** August 23, 2009, 09:42:35 AM »

I hope it will run. If not you can either buy a PS2 or upgrade your PC. The PS2 would be probably cheaper, but with a newer PC you can easily emulate a PS2. But it's up to you and how much money you want to spent to play MBAA.

CrimsonMoonMist · « **Reply #45 on:** August 23, 2009, 09:57:59 AM »

I do have a modded ps2 and one asian which i newly bought,
i just prefer PC over ps2.

Gold13821 · « **Reply #46 on:** August 23, 2009, 10:07:37 AM »

Ohh..ok

mrthefter · « **Reply #47 on:** August 23, 2009, 11:28:23 AM »

FYI, if you hold triangle+cross once the render window comes up, pick the top option twice to use progressive mode. This way, you don't have to use the render plugin's deinterlacer, which makes it look quite pretty (no scanlines or blurriness)

@Masu
This will help with the vibrating. As for slowness turn on some speedhax.

@Sabator
Software mode is inherently slower than hardware mode. If you have multiple cores (read, 3+, although 2 might work) try increasing the number of rendering threads. As for the white boxes, it might have to do with texture filtering, but play around with that 8-bit texture option, too.

CrimsonMoonMist · « **Reply #48 on:** August 23, 2009, 11:28:58 AM »

This is amazing!
the game runs at 6 FPS, but when i have speedhacks on, IT RUNS AT 40 FPS!!
it isn't great and i can't really play it, but to think my old fossil could get so high FPS, let alone start the emulator!
Now i'll mess around with the settings a bit more and see if i can improve it.
