PCSX2 - A PS2 EMU ------------------ Here it is. A first try for an ps2 emulator... Of course it isn't very advance now but there are some stuff here... Overview -------- Well i will try to catch up some questions. First of all pcsx2 don't run Ps2 games yet! And of course it is far from doing this. So pcsx2 don't run GT3, get it? :) So what pcsx2 is? pcsx2 is a try to emulate sony's beast. Of course it isn't so easy as it might seems. So far you can consider pcsx2 as a develop tool althought i suggest don't use pcsx2 as a tool for writing your ps2dev stuff :). Consider the opinion that pcsx2 have bugs and we wrote this emu by reverse enginnering ps2 demos that might have bugs too :) Hope you enjoy pcsx2.. The Pcsx2 team.. Configuration ------------- Cpu Options: Misc Options: * Enable Console Output: Displays the psx text output. * Enable patches Enable the patches for games.(if they exist). Might fix some stuff might screw some stuff. Enable it at your own risk. * Enable pad hack. if your pads doesn't seem to work if you enable that much fix the pads for the specific game. Warning!! not leave that option checked might broke some other games as well Recompiler options: * Disable Recompiler (default). It will run with interpreter if it is ON. Slower but more compatible. * Disable Vu recompiler (default). Will disable the vu recompile (of course if recompile mode is used). More compatible recompiler but slower. * Enable reg caching (disabled in 0.6) Enable the reg caching recompiler (you must have enable interpeter cpu off!) It is more faster than the default recompiler Quick Keys: F1: Save state F2: Change slot (0-5) F3: Load State F8: Makes a Snapshot (debugger keys) ---------------- F11 un/sets Log F12 un/sets symbol logging Status ------ Most part of ps2 have been emulate. Things that are still missing or uncomplete IPU : decoding almost done. Pcsx2 can play *.ipu or *.m2v files but no pss yet VU : there are several issues with graphics ingames. Still we are not sure if it is GS, VIF or VU problems but we are looking for it recompiler: planning for fast reg cache core and recompile of vus . Soon :P and of course a million other bugs that exists and we hope they will be fixed ;0 How you can help ---------------- If you have any info you think we can use email us, but always ask before sending files.
