Fixing PSP emulator software: textures not displaying correctly

Profile blocked -

Hello

I am here because I am having a hard time finding a solution elsewhere. I hope that someone can help me; it's about a PSP emulator. For certain games, especially racing games, I encounter issues with blurry texture zones that appear and flicker as I progress.

Example with ATV Offroad Fury Pro:

The configuration is AMD Radeon R7 M360 and the processor is AMD A8-7410 APU. Although this type of configuration is poorly "viewed" by some and not very powerful, I have managed to run games that are much more demanding than a simple emulator. There you go.

Thank you for your help.

    Hello.

    Your PC is not powerful enough, with a budget processor and no graphics card, just an integrated graphics chipset in the processor. Compared to a graphics card, here's what it looks like.

      Oh yes, I have a graphics card, it's a Radeon R5 in addition to the other one that I forgot to mention. But, it seems similar in terms of power. It's not powerful, I can play FIFA 22 (graphics on maximum), which requires Nvidia, for example. I've never really had problems with my hardware, after all. There may be small issues like this one, but I've generally never had any major ones. It all depends on the game and the driver updates too, doesn't it?

        The main thing in gaming is the power of the PC, and your PC is not made for gaming.

        And it wasn't made for FIFA 22 and the current games that also require power, right? Yet in the Radeon settings, it says that it doesn't meet the minimum requirements even though it runs very well. Strange, isn't it? There is still optimization for less powerful PCs. Even a powerful PC can display bugs. Nothing is perfect. As for the racing game, apart from this little problem, the graphics display quite well even for other games, just to say. Is there no way to modify that then?

        No, your PC is an entry-level one made for internet and office work, not for gaming. Sorry if I'm not telling you what you want to hear, but what can you do? You can't turn a Twingo into a Ferrari.

        I point out that I am playing with it. Even a low-end PC is still capable of running small games. Why don't you take what I say into account, and why do you stay stuck on the fact that it's "for office work and the internet"? I have plenty of games on it, PS2 and PSP emulators, FIFA 22 which I was told wouldn't work but does, etc. It's strange to say that, it doesn't really make sense when I have been able to play a multitude of games. I don't understand anything... I'm not trying to contradict, I'm just stating what I see on my screen and proving to you that with this type of configuration, it can do more than just "office work". My PC is not "junk"

    I didn't say it's rubbish, it's just not made for gaming that's all, and especially not to be played via an emulator which takes up a significant amount of the PC's resources.

      For me, saying that it doesn't work for games and only for office tasks (--> not for gaming, you said it well), is nonsense. I didn't buy this computer for that. The PSP game, even though it has this problem, displays quite well. It's still strange for FIFA 22 (I'm talking about this game because it's the only game I have with the best graphics) which is more demanding; I can run it in 4K without any issue. Even after adjusting it according to the computer's configuration, it displays in 4K. I don't have any slowdowns. I don't understand why with the emulator, it displays poorly, and with other PSP games, it displays well while it manages to run FIFA without a problem. We criticize this card, you say it's not made for it, and yet it's not that bad, even if it doesn't reach the levels of others above it.

        As I told you before, your processor is very weak and dates back to 2015. Look at the comparison between your processor and a simple Ryzen 5 for €120.

        https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-5500-vs-AMD-A8-7410-APU-2015-MCa/m1820844vsm33754

        I understand your disappointment, but aside from possibly lowering the game's graphics to the minimum or changing hardware, we cannot do anything about hardware limitations, as the computing power of the processor and the graphics card is essential in gaming.

        I am not at all disappointed with my hardware, far from it. I’m actually happy to be able to play current games like FIFA 22 that I didn’t think would work. It’s mainly your response that’s a bit disappointing because for you it’s basic and not powerful, and I can’t do "much". I understand that for you this hardware is "crap" and basic, I’m obviously aware of that, and I don’t quite agree with what I’ve tried with it. You may have never tried this setup, and you might have always had better ones. And also, you’re not considering what I’m saying… Why do I play games that require Nvidia like FIFA 22? I’ll prove it to you with some screenshots of FIFA that I’m running without problems. I hope you’ll have a different opinion.

        The card settings and information on game performance:

        And those from AMD that I should have for optimal performance:

        • Processor (AMD): Athlon X4 880K at 4 GHz or equivalent.
        • Graphics card (AMD): Radeon HD 7850 or equivalent. (Why do mine, which are weaker, work?)

        2) Those of the game:

        3) Result in images now:

        Pretty nice for a "office configuration", right? ;)

        I had to show this because I was tired of hearing you say things that aren’t relevant, and to prove to you that a weak configuration can do great things and it's the same for emulators. For your information, you should know that with this type of configuration, I can run current games (without overdoing it either). What do you think?

        Why aren't you saying anything, is what I said not true, am I completely wrong?

    Why aren’t you saying anything, is it not true what I said, am I completely wrong?

    I had a busy day and I’m not obligated to respond immediately.

    I understand that for you this hardware is "crappy" and basic.

    I didn’t say that, I simply said it wasn’t made for gaming and that your problems stem from that, comparative test to back it up.

    Not all games require the same processing power.

    You said this:

    For some games, especially racing games, I encounter problems with blurry texture zones that appear and flash as I progress.

    Racing games require more processing power and your PC can’t keep up, Fifa isn’t a very demanding game which is not the case with all games, I’m telling you again your PC isn’t made for today’s resource-hungry games combined with an emulator, which also takes part of the resources, it’s not the best setup, you have texture problems in certain games which is normal given your PC, now it’s up to you to believe what you want.

    This topic is going around in circles so this will be my last message, as apart from repeating myself I don’t know what else to say.

    Wait for other opinions, they may be different from mine or not.

    Good evening.

      I wasn't expecting you to respond right away, and of course there's a life behind the PC. At first, I thought you had given up because maybe I didn’t want to believe what you were saying for you. In reality, it doesn’t work for all racing games. I tried another one, TOCA Racer Driver 2, and it displays very well. It might depend on what the game requires.

      ATV Offroad Fury Pro:

      Correct display despite the blurry areas. Since the game has such graphics from the start, and I've already had it on the console, I know it's not the graphics card; I set it to minimum as you suggested, the blurry textures are still there and it makes the game even uglier.

      For FIFA, since it's not demanding (max details don't need more power?), why did the settings say that it doesn't have the required minimum configuration and that it works on the other configuration as marked? For mine, it needs to be set to low resolution as I read on the Internet. And for other users, it creates problems.

      "To be able to play FIFA 22, your laptop must include at least a GeForce MX450 with 2 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory. This graphics card allows exceeding 100 FPS in Full HD (Medium or High), which offers a particularly smooth gaming experience. For information, a game is considered 'playable' when it exceeds 60 FPS. On the other hand, it is recommended to have an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 from the 11th generation or AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 Lucienne (series 4000 or 5000), at least 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD storage, knowing that the game requires a minimum of 50 GB of free storage."

      Then, when you said "your PC is an entry-level computer made for the internet and office work, not for gaming," I thought it was for gaming in general and that it was only for office work and the internet that it would work. My PC can run games in general without needing to make too many calculations.

      For me, it's not going in circles; there are fuzzy topics to debate.

      Hello. I would have liked you to say more, especially about FIFA where there have been errors in information, if the maximum details were due to more power, if that corresponds to "resource-hungry," and that you see my PC can run racing games and also that you were mistaken. You're the only one who can answer. I feel like no one else will reply to me :-(
