It is a good thing this product is freeware, as I would be hard pressed to pay money for it. After digging deep online for the user manual, I consulted it to adjust the program's plugin settings accordingly to increase performance (do to the constant lag, which rendered any game unplayable) although this had very little impact across 15 different games.I know it's not the fault of my system (Intel i7-3630 w/hyperthreading 16GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 w/ 2GB dedicated GDDR5 video memory) as I have a very good system that will run most modern games at ultra settings with at least a steady 40fps (Alien Isolation, for example runs at 50+fps when the graphics are set as high as they can go).The program's communication with the hardware must be faulty or poorly programmed (probably both). Does a terrible job at keeping a steady frame rate a nd not only this but video rendering quality is awful, regardless of the program's plugin settings. Probably the worst emulator I have ever come across. The only thing you require other than the emulator and a game is your Playstation 2 BIOS, which can be extracted from your console.īy Anonymous reviewed on November 19, 2014

Higher Definition Graphics - With PCSX2 you have the ability to play your games in 1080p, or even 4K HD if you want to! The graphics plugin GSDX gives you the opportunity to simulate the real experience or make your game look like a Playstation 3 HD re-release!. What's even better, you can have anything from 8mb to 64mb cards! Unlimited Memory Cards - You can save as many memory cards as you like, you are no longer limited to the single physical cards like you would be on the real machine. Savestates - You can press one button to save the current 'State' of your game so if you need to turn it off, you can jump right back to where you were without waiting for the game to load! The emulator provides means of using controllers to simulate the Playstation experience and gives you the ability to either run the games straight from the disc or as an ISO image from your hard drive. The compatibility rates boast over 80% of all PS2 games as playable and provides an enjoyable experience for reasonably powerful computers, but provides support for lower end computers for those curious to seeing their Playstation 2 games working on their PC! PCSX2 is a Playstation 2 emulator for PC which has been going for over 10 years. After that, the PCSX2 setup procedure is quite lengthy, although if your Playstation 2 is broken, you'll find this a more than adequate replacement. Don't worry - the speed difference is not that great. If PCSX2 still fails to allocate the memory, simply use the TLB version. First try running the VM version, following the instructions given (type your account user name, log off/on and restart). The TLB version is pcsx2t.exe while the VM version is pcsx2.exe.

PCSX2 comes in 2 versions, the TLB and the VM (virtual memory) one. It struggles with high-speed action and is prone to freezing or crashing at the most annoying moments. PCSX2 does the job remarkably well, but don't throw your Playstation 2 away quite yet. PS2 Emulation is a complex task, far worse than emulating previous generation consoles like the PlayStation 1, N64 or Saturn, simply due to the CPU power required to get 'playable' speeds from a PS2 game under emulation.
