Games 4 fun

Just a little note about apps, games, settings for next time playing :D Please have fun, of course :D

I have tested all software below on:

  • My work laptop (Macbook Pro M1 (2020)).

If below links die, I will try to scrape Internet to get a new link.

PS2 emulator

I use PCSX2. Currently it supports macOS on nightly builds, but it's good enough.

For cover art of games, please use xlenore/ps2-covers.

Resident Evil 4

You can download it here.

I recommend to use HD textures, it's better for your eyes. Direct download link if forum dies. Please give thanks to xXtheRockoXx for his work.

After download HD textures, please extract then copy to PCSX2 texture folder. Remember to rename it to serial name (SLUS-21134, ...), because different region has different serial name.

Settings below are for Resident Evil 4 only.

If using macOS please switch Graphics/Renderer to Vulkan. For other OS, I haven't tested yet.

In Graphics/Rendering:

  • Internal Resolution: 3x Native
  • Anisotropic Filtering: 16x

In Graphics/Texture Replacement:

  • Disbale Async Texture Loading
  • Disable Precache Textures

  • Sharpening/Anti-Aliasing: Sharpen and Resize
  • Sharpness: 30%

For hacking, create file with content below in PCSX2 cheat folder. Remember to rename it to crc.pnach (013E349D.pnach, ...).
