Overview
The project has been running for more than six years now, and since it's initial release has grown in compatibility. From initially just being able to run a few public domain demos, its current state enables many games to work at full speed, such as the 'famous' Final Fantasy X or Devil May Cry 3. You can always visit the PCSX2 homepage to check the latest compatibility status of games with more than 2000 titles tested.
Note that you will need your own original Playstation 2 console (to extract the bios) and your own original games to play. You can find guides and more information on the site and in the forums.
System Requirements
Minimum
- Windows/Linux OS
- CPU that supports SSE2 (Pentium 4 and up, Athlon64 and up)
- GPU that supports Pixel Shaders 2.0
- 512mb RAM
Recommended
- Windows Vista 32bit/64bit
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.2ghz or better
- GPU: 8600gt or better
- 1gb RAM (2gb if on Vista)
Note: PCSX2 only takes advantage of 2 cores so far; so a quad-core processor will not help with speed. We still plan to add quad-core support at a later date, if possible
