PCSX2

PCSX2 is an open-source PlayStation 2 emulator. Its purpose is to emulate the PS2 hardware, using a combination of MIPS CPU Interpreters, Recompilers and a Virtual Machine which manages hardware states and PS2 system memory. This allows you to play PlayStation 2 games on your PC, with many additional features and benefits.

Project details

The PCSX2 project has been running for more than ten years. Once only able to run a few public domain demos, newer versions enable many games to work at full speed, including popular titles such as Final Fantasy X or Devil May Cry 3. Visit the PCSX2 homepage to check the latest compatibility status of games (with more than 2000 titles tested), or ask your doubts in the Official forums.

The latest officially released stable version is 1.4.0. Installers and binaries for both Windows and Linux are available from our website.

Development builds are also available from our website.

System requirements

Minimum

  • OS: Windows Vista or newer or GNU/Linux (32-bit or 64-bit)
  • CPU: Any that supports SSE2 (Pentium 4 and up, Athlon64 and up)
  • GPU: DirectX 10 GPU or better
  • RAM: 2GB or more

Recommended

  • OS: Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (64-bit) or GNU/Linux (64-bit)
  • CPU: Intel Haswell (or AMD equivalent) @ 3.2GHz or better
  • GPU: DirectX 11 GPU or greater
  • RAM: 4GB or more

Notes

  • PCSX2 1.4.0 is the last version to support Windows XP. Windows XP is no longer getting updates (including security-related udpates), and graphics drivers for Windows XP are older and no longer maintained.

  • If you have Windows Vista, make sure you have fully updated Windows and have the latest drivers to ensure maximum stability. Having a newer GPU is also recommended so you have the latest drivers.

  • Make sure to update your OS, drivers, and DirectX (if applicable) to make sure you have the best experience possible.

  • Because of copyright issues, and the complexity of trying to work around it, you need a BIOS dump extracted from a legitimately-owned PlayStation 2 console to use the emulator.

  • PCSX2 mainly takes advantage of 2 CPU cores. As of [commit r4865] (https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/commit/ac9bf45) PCSX2 can now take advantage of a 3rd core using the MTVU speedhack. This can be a significant speedup on CPUs with 3+ cores, however on GS-limited games (or on dual-core CPUs) it may be a slowdown.
