# PCSX2 # PCSX2
PCSX2 is an open-source PlayStation 2 emulator. It's purpose is to mimic the the PS2 hardware, using a combination of MIPS CPU [Interpreters](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_\(computing\)), [Recompilers](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_recompilation) and a [Virtual Machine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine) which manages hardware states and PS2 system memory. This allows you to play PlayStation 2 games on your PC, with many additional features and benefits. PCSX2 is an open-source PlayStation 2 emulator.

**NOTE**: If you have Windows Vista, make sure you have fully updated Windows and have the latest drivers to ensure maximum stability. Having a newer GPU is also recommended so you have the latest drivers. **NOTE 2**: If you have Windows Vista, make sure you have fully updated Windows and have the latest drivers to ensure maximum stability.

**NOTE**: Because of copyright issues, and the complexity of trying to work around it, you need a BIOS dump extracted from a legitimately-owned PlayStation 2 console to use the emulator. **NOTE 3**: Make sure to update your OS, drivers, and [DirectX](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109) (if applicable) to make sure you have the best experience possible.
**NOTE:** PCSX2 mainly takes advantage of 2 CPU cores. As of r4865 PCSX2 can now take advantage of a 3rd core using the MTVU speedhack. This can be a significant speedup on CPUs with 3+ cores, however on GS-limited games (or on dual-core CPUs) it may be a slowdown. **NOTE 4**: Because of copyright issues, and the complexity of trying to work around it, you need a BIOS dump extracted from a legitimately-owned PlayStation 2 console to use the emulator.
