Duckstation | Make PlayStation PS1 Games Look EXACTLY How YOU Want | Full In Depth Graphics Guide

As a general rule, you want to turn off Optimal Frame Pacing when VSync is enabled. This is also advised in Dolphin's tooltips with more explanation. :)

A lot of devs are the same mate. They get frustrated with all the demands and then eject a few people tbey deem to be wasting their time. Which is what it's all about, nothing worse than someone submitting bug reports when they barely have any knowledge.
Man up. Leave them be. Be grateful for the free stuff. Deal with what you get.

You can test PGXP Depth Buffer on games like Twisted Metal 2 and Resident Evil 1, sometime the character’s joints can pop thru like Jill’s elbow, or the Mr. Slam portrait appearing front of his vehicle and the glitching paintings in Twisted Metal 2. Adjust the Depth Clear Threshold values to fix those issues is TM2.

Wow subscribed, this is probably one of the best emulation videos I've seen, you go into so much detail that many others skip. I like that you provided multiple side by side comparison for each and every setting plus gave a thorough description about what they do A+.

What a well-made video, took me a long time to learn and consistently find information about duck station and a wish your video existed at the time. This was a great refresher for me. Thanks for this!

[@HerZeL3iDza]

Plenty of games on PSX run sub 30FPS a lot of the time, you can test this in the cave section in Metal Gear Solid. When looking at certain areas in first person view your FPS can drop as low as 20. If you overclock the PSX CPU to about 130% you will have a solid 30fps almost all of the time.

[@warpedpolygon]

Yeah a lot of PS1 games didn't have the best performance. I made this OC guide a few months ago ua-cam.com/video/SeNrYQD_nLE/v-deo.html

Great video, not only for Duckstation, but emulation in general as many emulators have similar functions.
Personally I was enjoying playing fullscreen widescreen, but then I got absorbed by the world of CRT shaders and I haven't been able to escape. Now I play with a combination of CRT shaders and some enhancements like higher resolution and PGXP correction.

I like how some PS1 games can look like PS2 graphics, when applying the right improvements to each game in Duckstation. I personally like the benefit of having these games upscaled, just as long as it doesn't look ugly. I will have to come back to this video later, once I get my new Steam Deck in the mail and it's properly set up.

[@warpedpolygon]

Wipeout 3 is a personal fav to upscale for this very reason. It totally solid with barely any wobble

[@roberto1519]

It's also great that we can smooth out frame rate issues using the overclocking features. Quake II benefits from this quite a lot, not only reaching a solid 60 FPS, but also reducing input lag, which is inherent from the lower frame rate.

[@warpedpolygon]

That's funny, I used quake 2 as the example in my overclocking guide.
Didn't know about the input lag thing tho.

[@roberto1519]

@@warpedpolygon Interesting, I should have known you might have covered overclocking before, this was the first video I've watched from your channel.

[@warpedpolygon]

@@roberto1519 I'm fussy with the systems I like to overclock. PS1 is hit and miss, but when it works it works well.

[@roberto1519]

Those more ambitious games benefit a lot from it, say, Driver and Driver 2, the target is 30, but it hardly reaches and keeps that, but overclocked, it's smoothly locked to 30. Chrono Cross battles too, it's indeed a per-game verification to see if this feature enhances the gameplay or not.

renderer choices is about usage of you Pc hardware. DX11 - using just GPU. most common thing. DX12 and vulkan i didnt test cus i still use win7, and when i turn on vulkan i got blue screen, (strange cus i use RPCS3 on vulkane and its just fine). OpenGL - best choice for me, it use GPU same as DX11, but also 1 thread of CPU for help. so if someone has lags of emulator work - this is your way, but! cus its OPEN GL - IF you are streamer - your OBS will not catch game at full screen. that how all openGL things work (maybe windowed will work) Software - is just original PS1 hardware lookin
for most game JINC2 is best way of filtering. but some games is better for xBR, such as Silent hill, or hogs of war.... keep in mind that xBR is not just a smoother as bilenial or JINC2 - its doin its job al the time, so it abit more tougher for PC
Strange thing, but at aspect ratio menu i have AUTO (window match) and it work perfectly without cheats.. whatever i do window size.. 16:9 or 10:1 no mater...
BTW, all that stuff as torn on\off PGXP, filters, renderers, render size - its all can be binded in hotkey menu
and i might be wrong but - are you didnt say about PS1 CPU OVERCLOCK? to decrease game lags, or increase frame rate in games that allows that...

crash bandicoot has a widescreen fix hack to solve the issue of the missing rendering on the supposedly hidden edges

[@warpedpolygon]

Oh damn, i thought that there just wasn't anything there due to being made in 4:3

[@sebastiankulche]

I think only CTR.

[@everx7]

Talking about shaders i use the built in, Cccalibrator only, cause u can nicely adjust how the game looks without going the crt shader way, make the game more hm colorful, like u know bring up the colors a bit, cause some games can look really dull, but its again personal preference and i used also crt lotte etc. with combination of calibrator and maybe gamma, but i dont know, i made one of the gmae looks almost like a cell shaded game and i dont know why but it suited that game specifically not so much with others
talking about this game Threads of Fate (really looked almost like a new retro styled indie game :)), anyway i use personalized settings for every game i play, i had set up the main options like for all games to be the same except those that are like a bit questionable to work with every one of them properly.
Like PGXP is defaultly on, cause it just makes most of the games i did play so much better. In the rest like with Powerslave i rather kept it off, cause the wobllyness and PGXP in this game makes too much holes in between textures or gaps should i say. So by turning it off entirely makes it better, not perfect but still better and that wobblyness is not that hard like in other games for example Syphon Filter 2 or 3 i think, it was a nightmare, but i guess still playable.
Also i know this was about graphics but just saying for those that need it, overclocking option does help but if u can try to be close to max 200%, dont go too much over this treshold cause u might experience side effects like for example that happened to me, u wont be able to save the game, or if u have set up the cd read speed for too fast of a multiplier, with games like Nightmare Creatures 2 ull end up with unfinished monologues during loadings. Really irritating stuff. Also it makes difference sure, but not so much its worth ruining the gaming experience.

[@warpedpolygon]

Yeah overclocking I see as a bit of fun, not a legitimate way to play if timings authenticity is important.

[@everx7]

​@@warpedpolygon
Look probably i should explain. (also to be clear i dont care if its legit or not, ill do it if the gameplay wont suffer for it)
So i do the OC only with games that are meant to be played at certain fps, so it wont drop below that or at least not too often.
There are games that should run 30. But they often hit 20 or lower in some areas or situations etc. cutscene what have u.
So in these cases i apply 150% OC. Most games need this boost, some less, some more, but generally 150 is enough to get 30+- or 29.97 stable, in those games that should run at this rate.
Those that are same but with 60 limit i do the same if the fps is fluctuating too much, or too often from its desired 60.
Thats it. I wont play a game that is designed at 30 and ill OC the shit out of it so it will do 60. Its insane and also itll break things.
I was experiencing said drops with Army Men games, so i did OC. But went too far and the game could run at 60. But then immediately u cna see that its just too fast. It wasnt meant to run like that. Things brake. Like for instance the most obvious driving a tank, its just almost not possible. Running with the soldier and shooting kinda possible but still looks weird and not right.
So yeah. There are games that break with going too far with OC and there are those that benefit and not like in a way u might call it cheating or its to easy. The opposite. Everything is as it should be. Those timings u mentioned. Id argue that they are off if u let the dips happen. Cause those are the HW faults not the programming itself.
U dont need to travel far in the past, or just be now. Certain games cant be run 60fps on PS5 for example and the HW exists to be able to do. But we have a certain kind of hw in those consoles that can run those games but either 4k 30, balanced 60 or performance 60/120.
U have options and despite that still occasional drops happen and so they are very few and far between and whats important it wont ruin ur gameplay.
But with the PS1 id argue that some games are almost unplayable because of that.
Syphon Filter that i mentioned is one of those games, 20fps, i almost clawed my eyes out playing it. But it was made that way and it runs and without OC i add.
Again. OC is a blessing for certain games. And curse for others and like a no deal for others cause they are already running as they should and doing the OC wont do anything.
I dont know if u meant really the OC or the speedup thing, cause i think those are pretty different things.
Whatever all i know is ill keep using it for those troubled games and not with those that dont need that extra umph to achieve the desired fps.

[@everx7]

Also, sorry for this long text. read it if u want to or dont, or some parts. It just turned out to be longer then i wanted to. sorry

[@warpedpolygon]

Sometimes widescreen just doesn't have it

[@MegaSnake001]

Great guide, however you should really make a video showcasing Duckstations Overclock option, once you get beefier hardware.
For example, the game Danger Girl (USA) (SLUS-00881) has in fact an unlocked frame rate, so in Duckstation, I have the Overclock option set to 555% (187.97MHz) for this game, and the game is silky smooth throughout.
The vast majority of games however run at 19 and 29 fps, but even so it always pays to have the overclock option enabled, one just has to find the correct overclock percentage for each game individually.
How? By having the "Show FPS" option enabled under "Graphics" in the "OSD" tab and enabling the overclock option and clicking on the little slider, and moving it forward a few percentages until you find the correct percentage.
If you see that the fps changes from 29 fps to 39 fps, turn it down a percentage by percentage until the fps goes back to 29. That way if the game already runs at 29 fps, you will have the added benefit of overclocking nonetheless, as it will make your inputs and your character movement(s) smoother and the fps won't drop it will always be stable.

[@warpedpolygon]

The issue at 6:02 is not a fixable one. As explained there is simply nothing at the extreme edges of the screen to display. The devs simply didn't put anything there as it would be unseen on a 4:3 display which the game was made for.

Could be a bunch of different things if it's connected to streaming. Try using the default Duckstation options as these perform the best, if it's still not smooth you know the issue isn't connected to Duckstation with regards to performance. From there you'll need to figure it out.

Any chances of doing a guide video on Duckstation showing how to get Texture Replacements to work? Maybe use the Chrono Cross HD Texture pack as example.

[@warpedpolygon]

Ahh man I couldn't find a single active download for Duckstation compatible HD Textures. I tried that Crono Cross one but I don't think DS can use it. There's an excellent Resident Evil 2 texture pack where someone has actually drawn (with AI help) proper widescreen. But the links are all dead...

Wonder if you have a list of recommended settings for mgs1 on the latest duckstation version?

[@SuperArnonuem]

Nice and informative video! Can you please tell me what the game is called which is showed in the “Adaptive downsampling” chapter?

[@warpedpolygon]

Descent. It's brutally hard

[@clmnyng]

are the retroarch versions up to date or should i separate install this

[@warpedpolygon]

@@clmnyng duckstation doesn't have a retroarch core. Standalone only so install this

Please make a video for setup and running correct zinc emulator for psx arcade boards.

[@warpedpolygon]

I don't use zinc to be honest. All of them are based on 0.199 and normal mame handles them fine imo. Is there a new zinc available?

[@knny-oi2hp]

I think the mouse cursor waving is annoying I see it in a lot of tutorial videos

[@warpedpolygon]

That's to point out what's happening or option is being covered.

[@otrodejuegos]

A really crazy thing happened to me. When i use my computer monitor it works flawlessly, but when i plug the computer to a TV it go uperr laggy... weird

[@warpedpolygon]

Is yout tv faster than 60hz?

[@chandrasantoso9256]

If I enable the pgxp geometry, the duckstation often auto close. Do you know why?

[@airrfourr2400]

Please let me know: Can I put scanlines in the switch version? Where can I download It? Thanks
