[BUG/HW]: Street Fighter III - 3rd/Third Strike - Sprite problem at higher res

[Immersion95]

Describe the Bug

This game works perfectly on SW, unfortunately the sprites were made for the CPS3 and the PS2 resolution/ratio isn't the same. That's why it's not pixel perfect and the sprites are kinda weird at native res.

Fortunately emulators can increase the internal res and solve this issue (Capcom Fighting Jam/MVC2, etc...).

The sprites have problems on higher res as stripes appear but x3 and x5 are almost perfect. There is only 1 problem (which I hope can be solved).

As you can see, the stripes are appearing only on the player facing right and not on the one facing left even if you change position, Here are the screenshots :

The only options you have is play at native 2x internal or 4x internal otherwise it will be misaligned.

2x or 4x are worse offenders, only 3x is near great.

[JordanTheToaster]

4x looks fine to me

4x looks fine to me

Thanks a lot ! I thought I tested it, let me try and close this issue then.

[Immersion95]

So I tested it and OpenGL/Vulkan are almost perfect in Res x2 & x4 but the bottom right is messed up.

[refractionpcsx2]

Gonna close this now, as it is mostly worked around and we don't accept upscaling bug reports. If we can use hacks to fix it, fine, but otherwise we don't accept them, and unfortunately this falls under the latter.

Thanks for the report.

[Immersion95]

No problem, I understand the matter. Just wanted to add that there is no workaround atm for anyone stumbling into this github issue.

[refractionpcsx2]

The workaround isn't perfect, but using 2x or 4x is better than nothing, and it's pretty close.

[Immersion95]

This game became horrible in HW + latest build. Lines are all over the place and are now present in all renderers at every resolutions. Is there a specific setting that I missed ?

[refractionpcsx2]

even native resolution?

[Immersion95]

Native works, sorry for the lack of precision.

Here is an example :

I didn't reopen an issue as I'm unsure if it's an accepted case

I mean, there's absolutely no need to upscale in this game anyways since it's sprites, nothing will change, and you can override the resolution in the per game settings for this if you want to keep an upscale globally.

Unfortunately it's needed as the native resolution of the ps2 port isn't the same as the CPS3 arcade game, pixels are horrendous. Thanks anyway :).

Making a texture pack for it might be better, but sprites dump them in weird orders if you want to adjust them.
