PCSX2 Final Released Free Download for Windows, Linux, Mac

PCSX2 is an open-source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS Xoperating systems. In its latest stable release, many PS2 games are playable, and several games have full functionality. The current development version is reported to be fully compatible with around 80% of the PS2 library. The main bottleneck in PS2 emulation is emulating the multi-processor PS2 on a PC x86 architecture. Although each processor can be emulated well on its own, accurately synchronizing them is very difficult.
 
 
PCSX2, like its predecessor project PCSX (a PlayStation emulator), is based on a plug-in architecture, separating several functions from the core emulator. These are the graphics, audio, input controls, CD/DVD drive, and USB and FireWire (i.LINK) ports. Different plug-ins may produce different results in both compatibility and performance. Additionally, PCSX2 requires a copy of the PS2 BIOS, which is not available for download from the developers, due to the copyright concerns and legal issues associated with it. PCSX2 is not compatible with PlayStation games, which in turn can be played by using a PlayStation emulator such as PCSX or ePSXe.
 
Hardware requirements are largely game-dependant, although the performance bottleneck in most cases is the CPU rather than the GPU. Some games may run slower due to unoptimized graphics code or weak video cards.

ePSXe Final Version Free Download for PC

ePSXe (enhanced PSX emulator) is a PlayStationemulator for x86-based PC hardware with Microsoft Windows or Linux, as well as devices running Android. It was written by three authors, using the aliases Calb, _Demo_ and Galtor. ePSXe is closed source with the exception of the application programming interface (API) for its plug-ins.


For half a year, ePSXe was developed in private. When released on October 14, 2000, ePSXe was a revolution in the PSX emulation scene, boasting higher compatibility and performance than other PlayStation emulators of the time. 
 
After ePSXe 1.6.0 was released on August 5, 2003,[8] its development seemed to halt, with rumors claiming that the source code had been lost due to a hard disk failure. However, on April 5, 2008, the developers of ePSXe made a public statement revealing that in the summer of 2007 they had decided to continue development of the emulator, due to encouragement from users. On May 24, 2008, ePSXe version 1.7.0 was released. 
 
After another hiatus, the developers came back on August 30, 2012 announcing the release of ePSXe for Android, as well as saying that ePSXe for Windows was in testing of version 1.8.0. This version was released on November 9, 2012. 
 
Feature
As with many modern emulators, ePSXe makes use of plug-ins to emulate GPU, SPU (sound), and CD-ROM drive functions, a model first established in PSEmu Pro. Games can be loaded from the computer's CD drive or from one of many types of CD images directly from the user's hard drive. 
 
A patching feature allows the user to apply game patches. Games that do not necessarily run properly, or even start at all, can be fixed and played via the use of ePSXe patch files in .ppf format. Not all games prone to bugs have ppf patches written for them. 
 
Unlike a few alternative PlayStation emulators that are able to use high level emulation to mimic the effect of the PlayStation's BIOS, ePSXe functions with an image of an official Sony PlayStation BIOS. Since the various PlayStation BIOS images are copyrighted by Sony, it is illegal to distribute them. For this reason, ePSXe does not come bundled with any of the PlayStation BIOS images, requiring the user to provide one for the emulator.
