PCSX2 - the only emulator of PS2, the ability to run commercial software, designed for operating systems, GNU / Linux, Microsoft Windows and Windows NT. The emulator is very advanced and improved after its first release.
The main difficulty in emulating PS2 - multi-architecture emulation of PS2 on the x86 architecture PCs. Although each processor can be semulirovan very accurately, their synchronization is quite trudoemka.PCSX2, like his predecessor, PCSX, emulator PlayStation, based on a plug-in, separating the different functions of the kernel emulator. There are graphics, control, CD / DVD drives, Firewire and audio plug-ins. Different plugins may show different results in the same game, consisting in the compatibility and proizvoditelnosti.Proizvoditelnost before 2006 ranged from 2 to 15 frames per second depending on hardware and PC settings, plugins and BIOS PS2 emulate fastest. After the release of version 0.9 in April 2006, productivity has increased greatly. Most 2D games, and the menu started to work at a speed of 60-120 frames per second, but largely left to work in 3D previous speed. At the same time, PCSX2 has been to support dual-core processors (the speed increase in games when they are used twice). With version 0.9.1 the summer of 2006, most 3D scenes started to work at a speed of about 15-30 frames per second per processor with a clock speed of ~ 3 GHz. Also, some popular games such as Final Fantasy X, operate at a speed of about 60 frames per second. PCSX2 is in a state of active development. 2 December, 2007 the developers announced a free download WIP-version of the emulator (Work in Progress), which will allow the end user to get acquainted with the innovations the new version before it will be issued. However, due to high volatility WIP-Versions and the experimental nature of their spread, they kept in the official forums would not be.
• Sven Goran's World Manager 2002 was the first commercial game, which starts on PCSX2, and, therefore, PCSX2 is the first emulator that runs commercial games.
• Linuzappz, the chief programmer of the project, left in 2005 but in January 2006, the team came Zerofrog, and continued development of the emulator.
• 11 August 2006 Zerofrog issued a graphical plug-in for PCSX2 0.9.1 Watermoose, called ZeroGS KOSMOS, version 0.95.2. It seriously improved work schedules (as in speed, as well as), but requires a graphics card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0.
