title: PCSX2 Magazine Appearance

|
Recently **PCSX2** has made its second appearance in the Italian
|
|
magazine - _The Games Machine_ . It's great to see PCSX2 getting
|
|
mention in publications, and we thought we'd share the article with
|
|
you!

If you can read Italian, you can click on the thumbnail to the left and
|
|
read it yourself, for those of you who can't read Italian, a rough
|
|
translation is below (Made by a friend of the PCSX2 team!):
|
|
|
|
\*"Some time ago we talked about PS2 emulation and we mentioned that
|
|
PCSX2 had made a lot of progress, but that it was still impossible to
|
|
"play".
|
|
|
|
Things have changed a lot and now PCSX2, that is the result of more than
|
|
2 years of developing, is the only emulator that can emulate the PS2 in
|
|
a good way. The hardware requirements are very high, we are talking
|
|
about an Intel E6600 or an equivalent AMD, 1 GB of ram and a video card
|
|
with full support of Pixel Shader 2.0.
|
|
|
|
The requirements are very high but not absurd if you are thinking a bout
|
|
an upgrade to Windows Vista. PCSX2, the latest release 0.9.2, is based
|
|
on some plugins which emulate the functions of PCSX2.
|
|
|
|
On the official site of the project ( <http://pcsx2.net> ) you can find
|
|
a very complete guide to the use of the emu. Personally, I can recommend
|
|
you the new ZeroGS 0.96.0 (a video plugin). It's a plugin which works
|
|
very well only with newer graphics cards. There are specific plugins
|
|
just for audio,controller, USB and for Firewire emulation. There are
|
|
also a lot of CDVD plugins.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use PCSX2 you must have a "real ps2" and its bios. You
|
|
can obtain it dumping it from your ps2 (any other way is against the
|
|
law).
|
|
|
|
PCSX2 is compatible with a lot of famous games like: GTA San Andreas,
|
|
Devil May Cry 3, Final Fantasy X... The framerate is very low on a lot
|
|
of PC's but buying a very powerful pc, the framerate problem is going
|
|
to end in the coming months.
|
|
|
|
At the end PCSX2 is a very good product and it'll have for sure an
|
|
evolution thanks to the hardware evolution."\*
