PCSX2 is a 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.[1] The main bottleneck
in PS2 emulation is emulating the multi-core PS2 on PC architecture.
Although each CPU can be emulated perfectly, getting the
synchronization and timing between them to be accurate is very
difficult (Sony itself has found it difficult in perfecting a
software emulator of the PS2 on the PlayStation 3).
PCSX2, like its predecessor project PCSX, is based on a plugin
architecture, separating several functions from the core emulator.
These are the graphics, controls, CD/DVD drive, USB, sound and
FireWire (i.Link) ports. Different plugins may produce different
results in both compatibility and performance.
