My Metal Gear Solid 1 run desyncs right near the start in version 2.0.1, during the first codec conversation. The older emulator also suffered a desync with this movie, but it was a few minutes later.

I wish psxjin had the TAS ISO plugin that allowed you to make .bz archives from the ISOs and then load them, in order to save space.
This will never happen, ever.
Expect miserable failure in about a week.
Did adelikat merely mean that PSXjin will never have that plugin (the release announcement said "no plugins") or that it will never have the features that the plugin gave to PCSX-rr?
That feature, along with the Shoelace-Tier and the Pop-Up Hairstylist, has no business in an emulator, plugins or otherwise, and will never return to psxjin. Loading an archived iso is analogous to loading archived roms in other emulators and is not in principle objectionable, however it is hard to believe that anyone uses it given the substantial decompression time and RAM requirements, so I recommend against holding your breath while waiting for it.

It doesn't have to be stored in RAM if it's decompressed to the disk.

Wow, so you'd then instead waste the time to have the program execute alternating read writes to hard disk? If you are going to be TASing/playing a game, and have your archive of PSX games, why not just manually unzip it once?
I hadn't thought of the issues zeromus raised, and thus, I rescind my impossible challenge accepted... (I really just wanted to post that image anyway.)
There are far more pertinent issues in PSXjin to worry about, such as games freezing on attempting to load non-existing CDDA channels.
... and the lack of a pop-up Hair stylist. I knew I was missing something.

Games that are emulated incorrectly in pcsx and pcsx-rr still won't emulate correctly in PSXjin, correct?
It depends on the game- For example, MGS wasn't emulated properly due to sound glitches. Apparently, some Star Trek game also works now.
Games with CDDA are also still broken. I'd like to add this fix, but according to zeromus, I'd have to master the CD system of the PSX to do so.

Yeah, this isn't like a 1 MB SMC file. These are gigantic, full-CD ISOs. You could always simply use Windows' NTFS compression attribute if you want to cut down on filesize, if you're okay with the subsequent performance hit.
Forgive me but I don't get how do I set up that emu will detect analog movement? I can't figure it out in joytokey.
I got it partly figured out but it only goes 4 direction, I guess just because it is just keyboard output.
Also JoyToKey doesn't detect Left / Right Dpad on my PS3 controller, but Psxjin controller plugin does, oh boy... PSXJIN seriously need joystick support.

Uh, you shouldn't use JoyToKey for analog input - just use the N-rage plugin.

JoyToKey, google it. You will never have to worry about gamepad support in any emulator again.

I knew someone would say "use something else" line, it's giving me a fuck, I already tried them all.
N-Gage = doesn't detect joystick for me, only detects keyboard or mouse
Segu Direct Pad Pro = detects all of joystick buttons, but emulator not picking up any of joystick input, just keyboard
JoyToKey = detect some of joystick buttons, Left, Right, L2, R2 doesn't work, Analog not being 360
Using keyboard alone = most keys I can't press more than 3 keys combination, and psxjin having bug not letting me use just CTRL for frame advance.
And I just checked out LUA doc, I think there's no "get" function for analog tilting.
Any other option?

What do you mean by ngage doesn't detect joystick? Under a config option, you actually have to set the joystick you are using. Controls > Devices > Gamepad

Yeah I tried these, still doesn't detect anything from ps3 controller.
By the way, what is "USE" button supposed to be? it seem to just jump to Segu plugin, and then doesn't detect joystick there either. Save and Cancel did that too.
Maybe I'll add video of that later.
*edit - somehow I made motionjoy driver crash, and it reload with new name. N-gage was able to detect PS3 controller button. But after I save it and close, N-gage just "forget" these setting and return to keyboard, FML.

I also have a problem with plugins; is there a way to change the video plugin in PSXjim?
but, if it's not, I want to request the "Abe's games fix" on the new version, if possible.
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

How can you change something that doesn't exist? It doesn't have video plugins! The only plugins it has are input plugins and even that will be gone in the next release.
So, any chance of an Abe's fix on the next release? The game looks like this without the fix:
Dooty, the best I could do for you would be a separate compile with the Abe-fix added in. It would be sort of a one-shot-deal, since the fix is quite arduous.

So, I tested analog input, and yeah, it was pretty borked. So, I pulled out the last bit of plugin crap, and reloaded it with integrated joypad reading (thanks to the code from PCSX2's SSSPSXPad).
So, yeah, be happy that the next release will make analog easier.

That will be great. Those graphic issues makes it almost impossible to TAS the game, let alone watch it... thanks alot!
No guarantees that I'll be able to pull it off, but I'll give it a try at some point in the future.
Also, last call for bugs/annoyances anyone would like fixed before v2.0.2.

Any way to make frame counter and font display stuff not resize or disappear along with game reso and game loading phase?
Resize not big deal to me, but them disappearing is.
