PCSX 2 UPGRADE
This API upgrade doesn't replace the existing Direct3D and OpenGL API options in PCSX2, but it should provide another avenue for further performance optimisations for PCSX2 with future updates. The team behind the PlayStation 2 Emulator PCSX2 have announced that the emulator how has support for the Vulkan graphical API, a change that promises to boost the performance of the emulator in "bending loads" and more future-proofing for the emulator's continued development.
PCSX 2 SOFTWARE
Where Can I Learn More?Īlthough the team at PCSX2 does have an official website ( which you can check out here if you want to try their software out) in terms of project updates, it seems to have entirely transitioned now to their Twitter account.The PCSX2's new Vulkan API update can deliver a performance boost in old games ‘Playable’ means that although the game runs, users will encounter some glitches (mostly graphical and from small to widespread) during their playthrough. ‘Perfect’ means that, as the name suggests, the title runs exactly as it would on the original hardware with zero issues, problems, or bugs.
Put simply, for the PCSX2 emulator to now report a 97% playable state, with a further 22 titles in ‘perfect’ running, this is undoubtedly a very impressive piece of work!Īnd just to elaborate on the specific points. Unlike the PS1, the latter consoles utilised very peculiar software/hardware configurations that have proven to be more than a solid challenge to even the most enthusiastic of coders. Of course, though, successful PC emulation of both the PS2 and PS3 consoles has been a very difficult challenge. Hence why it is being the only game to currently grind to a halt at the ‘intro’ point. We can only assume that, given its relatively humble stature, is that it probably wasn’t coded to the highest of standards. Of this, 97% are in a “playable” state with only 36 titles left at a performance level below that! – In fact, the only game left that seems to still be giving them some problems is a completely obscure golfing title. Slightly late to the party, but we officially reach menus on all games except one (That we know of) which needs a special controller emulation! Plus all known games at least show something! This is a celebratory moment for PS2 emulation! 🥳 /dRxiDTcazY- PCSX2 NovemPCSX2 – PS2 Emulator!īased on the current figures, the PCSX2 PS2 emulator now has a 100% bootable gaming status. – For example, while I daresay many of you are familiar with the (excellent) work and progress being made at RPCS3, PCSX2 (a PS2 specific emulator) has always resided a little under the radar.įollowing an official update to their website, however, work is still definitely underway and clearly progressing well as the team has just confirmed that its PCSX2 emulation software is now successfully running 97% of the PS2’s library in a “playable” status! Despite the PS2 being (at least to my knowledge) the best-selling video game console of all time, it is perhaps surprising to see that PC emulation for it has taken something of a significant backseat to efforts made on the PS3.
