EmuCR:PS2 emulatorPCSX2 SVN r4489 is released. PCSX2 is an open source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.

PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r4485
1. Portable mode: Fixed (for real!).
2. Game database: now always loads from pcsx2 folder (was using cwd)

details:
Portable mode: folders and file names at the ini now always saved relative in portable mode -> pcsx2 folder can be moved around, renamed, etc, and everything keeps running as normal.

Note: last elf/iso folder paths are kept absolute at the ini, and so are the last/recent iso file names. This is to allow moving pcsx2 folder around without needing to select them again. The case of putting the ISO files inside the pcsx2 folder and expecting it to work when moving the folder around is still not solved for now (but the iso can always be selected manually). Maybe will get fixed soon.

Reminder: to run in portable mode, create an empty file named "portable.ini" at the pcsx2.exe folder.
r4486
Remove a compiled library which somehow got committed.
r4487
And another
r4488
Fixed inconsistent newlines / added as many svn:eol-style=native properties as I could without killing myself.
Please set up auto-props in your svn client.
r4489
Portable mode: standard install can now be converted to portable.

Note: All files outside of pcsx2.exe folder (e.g. snapshots, memcards, bios, saved states, etc at "my documents" folder) are NOT copied automatically to the pcsx2 relative folders. So, if converting from standard install to portable and you want to keep those files, you have to copy them manually.

Bottom line: if portable mode is preferred/required, it's best to start in portable. This way no files are ever written outside of pcsx2.exe main folder (at least, that's how it should work).

  1. Very good emul, But still slow a little. (4x AMD CPU, 4GB DDR3, HD5750).
    Please make some speed optimizations.

  2. Lol, why do you think all they are doing is tinkering with all this secondary crap like menus and save states, etc....

    They have hit a brick wall when it comes to speeding this up, if you want faster, you'll have to buy a better processor, and just about the only thing that will do for full speed in some games is a 4.5Ghz+ i5 or i7 CPU.

    Of course, it would be cheaper to just buy a cheap PS2.....

  10. Then justice will be served and you will perish in despair without working emulator.

  11. You made up that saying. You don't have to hope for anything as the nastiest thing in my life has already happened - a kid troll and "grown" troll with a fake name (exact age is in question, but the mental level is clearly on the same level as the previos one) ruined my favorite site.

  12. forget about the morons, maybe they'll go away

  14. This emu is already dead....

  15. I would rather call it "incomplete" as people are still working on it. There just haven't been serious compatibility updates for months which became the source of frustration for many people.

    Dude, you are going to DIE soon, real soon, sunny.

  18. You can't have the knowledge of my final hours, "daddy". Trolls like yourself runnig around is hardly a sign of Apocalypse, but rather your own lack of brains for not finding something better to do.

  20. To all those complaining about the recent "useless changes".

    PCSX2 is near 0.908 release (probably in few weeks or less). Therefore, all the "little things" that didn't work properly (portable mode, memory cards, GUI stuff, etc) need to be ironed out, which is what being done.

    After 0.98 is released, there will be, again, larger changes which improve speed, compatibility, etc.

    Also, before 0.98 is released, there will probably be at least one more decent speed improvement. This is being worked on and tested these days.

  21. I guess it's odd that I've had no trouble playing any game on a Phenom II 3.8Ghz, you guys should really learn to configure the emulator.

    ReplyDelete
  22. #25, second that one with my Phenom II only running 3.4 GHZ, still most every game except a few I have trouble with, dumb trolls have zero clue

    ReplyDelete
  23. @24 Therefore you confirm that there will be nothing useful until after 0.98. Unlike the trolls I have no complaints about speed, but emulator won't run most of my games past the title screen. We can only hope that developers will finally resume their work on compatibility issues then, but they haven't touched that subject for 2 years, so it's a very faint hope.

    ReplyDelete
  24. their main priority is compatibility, only then accuracy and multithreading
    so, dont expect any big performance boost in next 1-2 years, coz making proggy to emulate complicated hardware, such as ps2, in pure MT is huge pain in da ass
    so, calm down little trollies and normal ppl, it will be slow for a pretty long time

    ReplyDelete
  25. If their main priority is compatibility, they haven't been paying it the attension it deserves for the last 2 years. I don't care if my games run slow as long as they become playable. As I already mentioned, emulator compatibility is my only complaint, but please stop with that "complicated hardware" nonsence. That's just a line devs feed to the public so that the noobs would stop bothering them.

    ReplyDelete
  26. write ur own emu 1st, then complain about complicated hardware nonsence m8
    you can start with ps1

    ReplyDelete
  27. @30 Learn to read carefully; I already mentioned that emulator compatibility is my only complaint. And "complicated hardware" is just a line devs feed to the public so that the noobs would stop bothering them. If you really care - read the older pcsx2 threads where I explained this all in detail. I'm done wasting time repeating myself.

  28. No, you dont, waste some more

    ReplyDelete
  29. I could appeal to your lacking intelligence. That seems a certain waste of time.
