Fatal Frame for Pcsx2
Hey guys, I'm here in my last ditch effort to salvage a decent experience out of the Fatal Frame game for Playstation 2 on my Pcsx2. I got my hands on the game to have a good run through with my girlfriend, and it has been a constant struggle trying to get a decent playable experience out of it.
Let me start with my specs -
Processor - AMD Phenom II that if I recall correctly is at about 3.7 Ghz unclocked
Ram - 4 Gb
Graphics card - NVidia GTX 460 ~2 gigs of ram
Any other information required, I would be happy to give upon request.
So anyways, when I downloaded the game, I was already on a kind of outdated SVN of the Pcsx2 (4600 I believe). I had the problem where when I would pull out my camera it wouldn't lock on to ghosts reliably. This became a huge problem when I got to the first aggressive ghost, and the only way I was able to beat it was by spamming my shutter when I got lucky enough for the focus to light up.
This obviously made the game unplayable. I messed around and saw that if you used software mode, it was supposed to fix the problem, which I believe it did, but it made the game so slow that it was unbearable. I can handle moments here and there, but literally, it was similar to play in constant slow motion.
After I looked around and referenced the pcsx2 wiki and saw the video posted for it, I saw that someone said the new SVN fixed the problem completely. I downloaded it, got it installed, everything went perfectly, and when I got to that aggressive ghost, it locked on perfectly, but low and behold a new problem arose. The ghost would be almost completely invisible in Camera mode. I would be able to lock onto it with NO problem, but I couldn't see the ghost. Obviously this will cause problems later in the game, so I turned back to trying to find new solutions. I tried downloading an older SVN which basically did no good, it was the same problem where either in software mode it the quality was terrible, or in hardware mode I couldn't see the ghost.
So here I am, throwing my self at the mercy of those far more experienced in emulation than my self. If you guys can give me any insight I would appreciate it so much. I look forward to hopefully getting some great answers from you guys. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
