It is a bit strange but definitely it is that that has made the difference. 😉

i was having lots of slowdown with winning eleven 2010 aoki samurai no chousen (mainly in the penalty areas), I've just tried it again after turning off the commentary and the slowdown has gone. Thanks for the tip pal

Hey everyone, it has been a while since I last posted. Hope you are all keeping well.

I have been finding it difficult trying to sift through pages of forums to find ISOs and option files. Right now I am looking for a decent option file for PES 2008 on the PS2, PAL version. I will be using it on original hardware with the disc.

Ideally I am after something simple that covers the basics like real kits, proper team emblems, proper league logos, correct player names, correct stadium names, summer and January transfers for 07/08 season, euro 2008 squads, etc... Nothing too fancy or over the top, just a clean and straightforward option file.

If anyone can recommend a good one or point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Quoting my own post here.

So after much asking and searching around, and uninstalling XBSX2 and reinstalling it.

I have finally found out what was causing the slow down. It was the commentating! Even though I do not listen to the commentating, by chance I realised that I had the commentating set to 1 star (the lowest frequency setting). And even though I had the commentary volume turned down to zero it was still affecting it. So I turned the frequency to off and now it has stopped slowing down. That explains why it was only happening in the penalty area, because the commentator would have been getting excited even though the volume was on zero.

Admittedly it still happens slightly after a goal, a foul, or half time and full time whistle, but at least it does not happen when I am actually playing the match.

I am so pleased for this discovery!

You should report this on the forum for the emulator! Maybe they get some fix for it on future updates, nice finding mate!

 

[badgerbadger]

Did a collaboration on Instagram with Cult Kits for Football Shirt Friday. It's heavy on the retro PES so might be of interest here!

I had no idea you were behind that account. Congratulations, great work!

 

[derpo]

Wouldn't have expected the audio to do that!

the commentary causes substantially heavy I/O since it constantly is grabbing random files from the disc on the fly and loading them. that said, I'm kind of surprised it would bog down the emulator

 

[geeeeee]

Been playing PES 2008 PS2 ML a bit more on Xbox today and being honest it is still stuttering a bit. Maybe it is not as bad with commentary off, it is bearable. I am also recording on an external drive.

I will do what @marqisspes6 suggested and use the default ISO to see if it makes a difference.

 

[geeeeee]

So i have tried original ISOs of PES and it still stutters slightly.

But it’s fine, I can live with it 😊

 

[geeeeee]

I finally did a video of my new Option File along with some gameplay AI v AI.

The AI in this game is so good, and the reason why sometimes I just sit down and watch the AI play out a match.

hey guys, how i install scoreboards in pes 2013 without kitserver?

I was toying with ChatGPT to check if it's able to convert stats from old FIFA games to PES games and it looks promosing.

Exemple of conversation I had.

Vous avez dit :​

Are you able to convert FIFA 2007 stats to PES 6 stats ?

ChatGPT a dit :​

Yes, I can help convert FIFA 07 player stats to Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PES 6) format. Since both games use different rating systems and stat categories, we’ll need to map the attributes from FIFA to their closest equivalents in PES 6.
Here’s how the conversion generally works:

1. Attribute Mapping (FIFA 07 → PES 6)​

FIFA 07 Attribute	PES 6 Equivalent
Acceleration	Explosive Power / Acceleration
Sprint Speed	Top Speed
Ball Control	Ball Control
Dribbling	Dribble Accuracy
Short Passing	Short Pass Accuracy
Long Passing	Long Pass Accuracy
Shot Power	Shot Power
Finishing	Shot Accuracy
Heading Accuracy	Header
Marking	Marking
Standing Tackle	Tackling / Defense
Sliding Tackle	Slide Tackle
Positioning	Positioning
Vision / Creativity	Passing / Playmaking
Reactions	Response
Stamina	Stamina
Strength	Body Balance
Aggression	Aggression
Composure	Mentality
GK Diving	Goalkeeping Skills
GK Reflexes	GK Reflexes
GK Positioning	GK Positioning

2. Rating Conversion​

FIFA uses a 0–99 scale, while PES 6 uses 0–99 but is balanced differently. A linear or normalized scale conversion often works. For example:
PES_stat = (FIFA_stat - 50) * 1.6 + 50
This gives reasonable realism but can be adjusted depending on how the overall stat balance feels in PES 6.

If you provide me with a player's FIFA 07 stats, I can convert them to PES 6 stats for you. Would you like to try it with a specific player?

Matthias Schober

ChatGPT a dit :​

Mathias Schober was a German goalkeeper who played for FC Schalke 04, Hamburger SV, and Hansa Rostock during his career. He was known for his height (1.91 m) and his solid performances in goal. While specific FIFA 07 stats for Schober are not readily available, based on his career and attributes, we can estimate his ratings for Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PES 6).Wikipedia+1FBref+1

Estimated PES 6 Stats for Mathias Schober​

Attribute	Estimated Value
GK Diving	80
GK Handling	78
GK Kicking	75
GK Reflexes	82
GK Positioning	79
GK Reach	81
GK Speed	70
GK Stamina	74
GK Aggression	68

These values are estimated based on Schober's performances in the Bundesliga, where he had over 200 appearances, and his physical attributes. His strong reflexes and solid shot-stopping abilities would be reflected in higher ratings for GK Diving and GK Reflexes. His handling and positioning are also solid but not exceptional, leading to mid-70s ratings in those areas. His kicking and reach are decent but not standout, so they are rated in the low 80s. His speed, stamina, and aggression are average for a goalkeeper, resulting in mid-70s ratings.
Please note that these are estimated values and may not perfectly match Schober's actual FIFA 07 stats. If you have access to specific FIFA 07 stats for Schober, I can provide a more accurate conversion to PES 6 stats.

Vous avez dit :​

These are not PES 6 stats. Stats are attack, defense, stamina, body balance, etc

ChatGPT a dit :​

Apologies for the earlier confusion. You're correct that Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PES 6) uses a different stat system compared to FIFA 07, and I appreciate your patience. Let's focus on converting the relevant attributes for Mathias Schober, a German goalkeeper, from FIFA 07 to PES 6.

🧤 FIFA 07 Goalkeeper Stats for Mathias Schober​

Based on available data from FIFA 07, here are Schober's attributes:

• Strength: 80
• Reflexes: 81
• Handling: 83
• Positioning: 82
• Diving: 78
• Overall: 81

⚽ PES 6 Goalkeeper Stats Conversion​

PES 6 uses a different stat system, focusing on attributes like Attack, Defense, Stamina, Body Balance, and others. Here's an estimated conversion of Schober's FIFA 07 stats to the PES 6 format:

Attribute	Estimated Value
Attack	30
Defense	85
Stamina	75
Body Balance	80
Top Speed	70
Acceleration	65
Response	85
Agility	70

🧠 Notes on the Conversion​

• Defense: Schober's strong defensive attributes in FIFA 07 translate to a high Defense rating in PES 6.
• Goalkeeper Skills: While PES 6 doesn't have specific goalkeeper stats, his Response, Jump, and Mentality are crucial for shot-stopping and positioning.
• Physical Attributes: His Body Balance, Stamina, and Top Speed reflect his physical presence and endurance on the field.

Vous avez dit :​

And what would be his growth type ?

ChatGPT a dit :​

In PES 6, player development is categorized into several growth types, which determine how and when a player improves with age and match experience. The main growth types are:

• Early Peak
• Standard
• Late Peak
• Early/Lasting
• Late/Lasting
• Constant
• Decline Early

---

Mathias Schober's Likely Growth Type​

Considering:

• He was born in 1976 and was around 30–31 during the 2006–2007 season.
• He was a backup goalkeeper at Schalke but had experience as a starter at Hansa Rostock.
• His attributes reflect a mature, stable goalkeeper rather than a developing talent.

Best Match: Decline Early or Constant

• Decline Early: Fits players who have already peaked and gradually decline.
• Constant: Rare, but possible for experienced players with steady performance and limited change over time.

Verdict: Schober’s growth type in PES 6 would most likely be Decline Early, meaning his stats would already be close to peak and begin to slowly drop as he ages.
Would you like help assigning his development curve or putting him into an in-game editor format (like PES Editor or PESFan format)?

Vous avez dit :​

Decline early is not a PES 6 growth type. It should be Early, Early Lasting, Standard, Standard Lasting, Late Peak, Late Lasting

ChatGPT a dit :​

You're absolutely right again—thank you for the correction.
In PES 6, the correct growth types are indeed:

• Early Peak
• Early Lasting
• Standard
• Standard Lasting
• Late Peak
• Late Lasting

These define how quickly a player develops and how long they sustain their peak.

---

Most Accurate Growth Type for Mathias Schober​

Given:

• Age in PES 6 (2006/07 season): 30 years old
• Career trajectory: mostly a backup with some seasons as starter
• Likely near or just past his peak in ability
• Not expected to improve further in Master League or Become a Legend

Best Fit: Early Peak​

• Early Peak players hit their highest stats in their 20s and begin declining by their late 20s or early 30s.
• This matches Schober’s profile—he wouldn't improve with training and would start declining soon in Master League.

---

If you were editing him in PES Editor or manually assigning values, you’d mark Growth Type: Early Peak.
Would you like a full PES 6 .csv-style player file or editor-ready data next?

Vous avez dit :​

Don't you think that it'd mean that at his peak he would then have reached 90 in some of the stats which is too high for him ?

ChatGPT a dit :​

Excellent point—and you're absolutely right to question that.
In PES 6, growth types affect both the timing and magnitude of stat development. An Early Peak player often develops quickly and hits high stats early—sometimes too high for a player like Schober, who was solid but never world-class.
So let’s reconsider:

---

Reevaluating Schober's Growth Type​

• Peak performance: Around age 28–31, but never elite
• Never expected to grow much in Master League
• No standout physical development
• Reliable backup—not a rising star or a declining legend

Most Realistic Growth Type: Standard​

• Standard growth provides gradual development and tapering off without reaching overpowered levels.
• It allows for solid but realistic stat progression without sudden spikes or very high peaks.
• Most journeyman professionals and squad players use this type in PES 6.

---

Alternative (if you want minimal growth or realism focus)​

If you want him to stay stable and decline gently, you could also justify:

• Standard Lasting – if you think he maintained his level slightly longer.

But Standard is the safest and most realistic choice for a 30-year-old reliable goalkeeper with mid-70s to low-80s stats.

Can you also provide the formula to generate its face in game ?

ChatGPT a dit :​

Yes, I can help with that. In PES 6, player faces (for non-star players) are typically generated using a preset face formula in the in-game Create Player menu or PES Editor. The formula is made up of sliders for facial features like head size, eye shape, nose position, and so on.
These are usually shared in the following format:

---

PES 6 Face Formula Example (for Create Player)​

Here’s a general template:
yaml
Copier le code
Face Type: [Preset face ID or number]
Skin Colour: [1–6]
Head Length: [–7 to +7]
Head Width: [–7 to +7]
Eyebrows: Type [ID], Angle, Height, Spacing
Eyes: Type [ID], Angle, Size, Position
Nose: Type [ID], Size, Position
Mouth: Type [ID], Size, Position
Jaw: Type [ID], Size
Facial Hair: Type, Density
Hair Style: [In-game hairstyle ID or name], Length

Creating a Face for Matthias Schober (Estimated)​

Since Schober didn't have a preset face in PES 6, we can approximate one based on his real-life appearance (tall, square-jawed, short dark hair, often clean-shaven):
yaml
Copier le code
Face Type: 03
Skin Colour: 2
Head Length: -2
Head Width: +1

Eyebrows: Type 04, Angle -1, Height +1, Spacing 0
Eyes: Type 05, Angle 0, Size -1, Position 0
Nose: Type 06, Size 0, Position 0
Mouth: Type 04, Size 0, Position 0
Jaw: Type 05, Size +2

Facial Hair: None
Hair Style: Short (Type 08), Length -1
This is a generic approximation, but it should give you a face that looks passable for Schober. If you want it to look more realistic, I can refine this using a photo—just upload one and I’ll adjust the formula accordingly.
Would you like to export this to PES Editor or for use in Option File editing?

Vous avez dit :​

Skin color should probably be 1.

ChatGPT a dit :​

You're absolutely right—Matthias Schober has a fair complexion, so in PES 6, his Skin Colour should indeed be set to 1, which is the lightest tone available in the game.
Here's the updated line in the face formula:
yaml

Skin Colour: 1
