Hi guys, I have this graphics problem with the PCSX ReRecording emulator. I really want to make a speedrun of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, but this problem is like a chain around my foot, and I've done the most I could to solve it. When I execute the game through ePSXe 1.70 with the 'TAS Soft Graphics Plugin 0.2' it looks like this: When I execute the game through PCSX-RR 0.1.3 with the 'TAS Soft Graphics Plugin 0.2' it looks like this: The hardware specifications on my computer are HP Compaq 6820s Windows XP SP 3 ATI Mobility Radeon X1350 (128MB) Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 - 2.40GHz 2 GB DDR2 RAM 200 GB Harddrive I have the newest version of the graphics driver and Catalyst Control Center available for my gfx. I tried to search around for ATI specific problems with the PCSX emulator, but with no luck. Btw, I also testet the latest version of PCSX (no rerecord) and the problem is the same, so I think it's specific for the PCSX core since ePSXe was fine. I tried every single GPU plugin I could get my hands on: P.E.Op.S OpenGL Driver 1.78 P.E.Op.S Soft Driver 1.18 Pete's D3D Driver 1.77 Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.77 Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.77 Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9 TAS Soft Graphics Plugin 0.2 TAS Soft Graphics Plugin 0.1 with a couple of different PCSX-RR version: 1.2.0, 1.3.0a, 1.3.0b and a fresh compile of SVN 299. They all render glitchy in PCSX but all render fine in ePSXe. Actually, I also created a virtual pc in Vmware running Win XP, same problem there. Is this a known issue for ATI gfx's? I would be greatful for any help I can get!

I will be fast..The game can't be emulated 100% with the newer versions of PCSX. I guess.

Thanks for your reply :) ! I just tried testing the game on versions PCSX-Rerecord 1.0.0, 0.9.0 and 0.7.0 PCSX-Reloaded 1.9.92 PCSX 1.5 and 1.6beta same problem on all of them. Also, this document claims that the game is playable on PCSX 1.2.0 http://www.pcsx.net/downloads/pcsx_games_comp_ver_12.txt It's a bit unspecified, it just says playable, and i'm not sure what his criteria is for 'playable'. Other suggestions are still more than welcome.

Like you already sayd, all those versions you are using have the same core, so thats pretty logic they all have graphic glitchs. I would suggest to mess around the options on gpu, with a no-rr version of pcsx. (svn build should be good for that purpose) Ill try to give a word about this to zeromus but dont except anything back, pcsx is far from sexy emu to work with so its more an hassle for him than a good experience.

Alright, even though it might not be fixed, I appreciate the effort.
