PS5SX2 2.50 (build vk-285-321)

Lossless Scaling frame generation, a new settings sheet, and a long list of fixes from your reports. Restart the console once after updating: the disc helper is now 171q.

Lossless Scaling frame generation

• A second frame generation method. On a game's settings: Picture > Frame gen method > Lossless Scaling, and frame generation on.
• It uses your own Lossless.dll (from your copy of Lossless Scaling), copied to /data/PCSX2/lossless/Lossless.dll. Nothing of Lossless Scaling comes with PS5SX2. Without the file, PS5SX2's own frame generation is used.
• Like PS5SX2's own, it needs the 120 Hz output: a 60 fps game is shown at 120, a PAL game at 50 fps at 100.
• The optical flow runs at full size at 4K; if a game can't keep full speed with it, it steps down to 75% and then 50% by itself and remembers that.
• The watery, warped look on moving parts is fixed (a cache bug in the GPU driver).

120 Hz

• On some TVs frame generation said FG: NO 120 HZ OUTPUT now and then, although the TV does 120 Hz (a screen with a variable refresh rate idles at 48 Hz while nothing is drawn, and that fooled the check). Fixed.
• The FPS box counts each generated picture once (a 30 fps game shows FPS 60 (game 30), not 90).

The new settings sheet

• On the shelf and in the in-game menu: pages as tiles, values as coloured chips (set for this game, from all games, or the default), help on a card of its own.
• All games settings start with System update, and are on pages too (Picture, Speed, PS2 console, Memory cards, Library, PS5SX2).
• Lists wrap around. The empty file flags/oldsheet brings the old list back.

Leaving a game and saves

• Going back to the shelf no longer freezes on the fat consoles where it did.
• If the game is still writing to a memory card, PS5SX2 waits for it (SAVING - BACK TO MENU WHEN DONE) instead of cutting the save off.
• Save states have their screenshot again.
• The disc drive is left alone while a game runs.

Games

• The game database is synced with upstream PCSX2 (12,906 entries).
• .pnach patches and cheats are found by folder, serial, CRC, file name or gametitle=; letter case and separators don't matter. Cheats without a group name apply.
• New options: C VIF unpacking (Mafia, #37), flat CRT filter (#75), Skipdraw start and end (#73), Game speed (#38), Dithering, EE/VU round modes (#44), HDD image (#60), USB guitar fret colours, Buzz! buzzers (#91).
• Achievements work on discs whose ISO writer flagged every file as multi-extent (#83; thanks bobrass for PR #98).
• DualShock 3 and guitar adapters that are one are turned on over USB (#67).

Shelf

• Games on NFS shares get home screen tiles (helper 171q).
• An empty shelf says when PS5SX2 couldn't reach your files (#17); ._ files are hidden (#95).
• The disc turns clockwise while it's copied (#92).
• Disc insert: ask, play at once, or do nothing.
• Polish, Russian and Ukrainian translations (thanks heni0xyz, dann1k and Gtes; #62, #63, #80). Thanks phoenixbearded (#60) and Shadow1363 (#91) for the HDD and Buzz! work.
