I've tried doing the no interlace options and it doesn't seem to get rid of antialiasing at all.



I was hoping to get quality pixelated snapshots like the Kawaks image to the left.

It's a mixture of using the right graphics plugin, the right emulator options, and the right in game graphics options(as some SNK games have antialias by default).

You also have to be at the correct resolution.

Any suggestions about all of those?

I'd help but it's been too long since I've been involved with PS2 emulation. I know for the SNK games you have to go into graphics settings and set it from Soft to either Normal or Arcade. The resolution for those games, I believe, is 640x448. Don't use 640x480. For the plug in and for the settings, it's been way too long, sorry.

It's fairly difficult to get good screencaps from PCSX2 because of the nature of console gaming, the output is interlaced.  If you want a perfectly clean screenshot the game has to support progressive scan mode, which very few games do.

When running an emulated game in progressive scan mode, turn off all filters, you no longer need them.
