PCSX2 is an open-source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for
the Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS
X operating systems.
In its latest stable release, many PS2 games are playable, and several games
have full functionality.[1] The
current development version is reported to be fully compatible with around 80%
of the PS2 library.[2] The
main bottleneck in PS2 emulation is emulating themulti-processor PS2 on a PC x86
architecture. Although each processor can be emulated well on its own,
accurately synchronizing them is very difficult.
PCSX2,
like its predecessor project PCSX (a PlayStation emulator), is based on
a plug-in architecture,
separating several functions from the core emulator. These are the graphics,
audio, input controls, CD/DVD drive, and USB and FireWire (i.LINK) ports. Different
plug-ins may produce different results in both compatibility and performance.
Additionally, PCSX2 requires a copy of the PS2 BIOS,
which is not available for download from the developers, due to the copyright
concerns and legal issues associated with it. The emulator is not yet
compatible with PlayStation games.
