PCSX2 PlayStation 2 Emulator For Mac
- Recompilers for Emotion Engine (EE), Vector Unit 0 (VU0), and Vector Unit 1 (VU1). They are used to translate some parts of the original PS2 machine code into x86 machine code, speeding up emulation. Due to the fact that PS2 machine code is an entirely different language from x86 machine code, these recompilers are probably the most complicated parts in PCSX2.
- Dual-core support allows PCSX2 to use up to 2 CPU cores speeding up the emulator significantly.
- Proper SPU2 emulation helps reproduce PS2 audio or even enhanced audio on the PC which is not a trivial task considering the lack of documentation and the fact that it has to synchronize with many other emulated processors.
- Full gamepad support makes it possible to emulate every Dual Shock 2 feature.
- Patch system to create cheats easily. It can also be used to skip code where emulation is still broken (which ultimately can make the game playable). This feature is quite user-friendly and easy to use.
- Additional optimizations (hacks) to speed up emulation. You will be able to play certain games on lower-end machines thanks to this feature.
- Fully working IPU support responsible for FMV – video cutscenes should mostly run correctly.
Other notable features are as follows: Savestates – You can press one button to save the current “State” of your game so if you need to turn it off, you can jump right back to where you were without waiting for the game to load! Unlimited Memory Cards – You can save as many memory cards as you like, you are no longer limited to the single physical cards as you would be on the real machine. What’s even better, you can have anything from 8mb to 64mb cards! Higher Definition Graphics – With PCSX2 for macOS you have the ability to play your games in 1080p, or even 4K HD if you want to!
