Re: rpcs3 Settings for NCAA 14

Greetings all! First off, I want to say thanks to all the support and communication on this fourm. I'm really excited to have a chance to come back the NCAA franchise thanks to RPCS3 (my kids basically steal the console these days, so I'm stuck to PC in my "office"). Maybe relive the glory-days for my beloved Semi-NOes, or take a powderpuff team to dynasty glory.

QUESTION: Anyone have any initial startup recommendations?

I've got RPCS3 up and the game loaded to my PC (Specs below). I've only booted just a few times, but experienced lots of choppiness, terrible audio, and freezing after only a few downs. From what I've read:
- It seems like the best approach is trial-and-error, one setting at a time, to get a smooth game
- Also looks like an older RPCS3 version might be more stable...people have had success in the past, even on an i5.
- This game and emulation is CPU-heavy and my PCU runs at 100% according to MSIAfterburner; might best consider popping in an i7 (Black Friday is not too far away).

MY RIG SPECS:
Intel i5 4460 3.2GHz (liquid cooled)
GeForce RTX 2070 Super
16 GB DDR3 RAM
1TB WD SSD (in motherboard M2 slot)

Thanks! I'm enjoying troubleshooting so far since I'm learning more about PCs.

Your cpu isn't strong enough to run RPCS3. That is a quad-core CPU which is below the RPCS3 minimum of 6 cores. NCAA14 pretty much needs an 8 core/16 thread CPU to run stable.

Thanks for the response, will have to look into upgrading.

Re: rpcs3 Settings for NCAA 14

Can anyone help narrow down the specs I need in a CPU and GPU to run this game well on RPCS3? Is there any kind of consensus on this?

I am wondering what the lowest threshold is for the hardware but still have it run well, no glitching or significant frame rate loss. I don't mean like 4k gaming or something super high end though. I want it to work without spending any more than I need to.

Will a 6 core CPU really handle it, it's listed as the lowest threshold on their reddit? Or, do I need an 8 core to avoid regular performance issues?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: rpcs3 Settings for NCAA 14

So, I tried the game a comp with this hardware:

i5-8600 3.6GHz 6 cores
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
RAM 32Gb DDR4 2666 MHz

The game loads well, but once the game starts, it can't really render the players and it glitches then freezes before I can kick off. That happened several times.

So my question is what do I need to change in my hardware. Is it likely to be the CPU, GPU, or both?

Any help is appreciated.

Re: rpcs3 Settings for NCAA 14

For what it's worth, I can run NCAA 14 without issues -- as long as I turn the audio off in the emulator.

My laptop specs are:

CPU - i6700k (Only 4 cores though) -- Prolly why audio stutters when it's on.
RAM - 64g
GPU - 1080 GTX

I can run in 1080p and 4k without issue...again as long as audio is OFF. Audio stutters terribly.

Kinda strange I can run 14, but not 12, or 13 (both freeze). I can also run 10 and 11, these with AUDIO on.

Re: rpcs3 Settings for NCAA 14

Thanks for the reply. I should have stated I was trying to play NCAA 12. I wonder if anyone here has tried it successfully on RPCS3.

Re: rpcs3 Settings for NCAA 14

Hmmm not sure if 14 will work with your setup...but it might. I'd give it a try if you can.

On the other hand I bought a copy of NCAA 12 for my 360...been havin fun with it. NCAA 14 is very expensive on ebay/amazon (90+ for a copy!!...some even around 200 bucks).

Thanks for the idea on turning audio off. I did that, and NCAA 12 loaded fine and played well. Then I started trying different audio configurations to see if I could make the audio work. After changing the config, then changing them back to the original settings, the audio works. Go figure.



It's almost like the game needed to be booted up a few times, and after that it fixed whatever libraries were not loaded right the first time. I don't know if it was even the audio really, but it plays well now.

Re: rpcs3 Settings for NCAA 14

Here is another idea that might help your audio. Near the start of this thread I saw this configurations posted.



It looks like the default configuration now has "Enable SPU loop detection" selected. When you hover over that selection, it tells you it can cause severe audio stuttering.

Here are my setting and works very smooth with no freezing so far
You can decrease resolution scale if you find it slow

Re: rpcs3 Settings for NCAA 14

Trying to play ncaa14 on my laptop but getting ridiculous lagging and can't stay above 25fps during games. I've tried any settings I could find on here and other sites but 30fps is probably the best I've gotten it to and that usually dips constantly to the point I can't play it.

specs are
i5-9300h
16gb ram
geforce gtx 1650

am I just SOL here guys? any input is appreciated
