# PCSX2
[![Travis Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/PCSX2/pcsx2.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/PCSX2/pcsx2) [![AppVeyor Build Status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/b67odm0dd506co78/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/gregory38/pcsx2/branch/master) [![Coverity Scan Build Status](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/6310/badge.svg)](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/6310)
PCSX2 is an open-source PlayStation 2 (AKA PS2) emulator. Its purpose is to emulate the PS2 hardware, using a combination of MIPS CPU [Interpreters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_\(computing\)), [Recompilers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_recompilation) and a [Virtual Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine) which manages hardware states and PS2 system memory. This allows you to play PS2 games on your PC, with many additional features and benefits.

# Project Details
The PCSX2 project has been running for more than ten years. Once only able to run a few public domain demos, newer versions enable many games to work at full speed, including popular titles such as Final Fantasy X or Devil May Cry 3. Visit the [PCSX2 homepage](https://pcsx2.net) to check the latest compatibility status of games (with more than 2000 titles tested), or ask for help in the [official forums](https://forums.pcsx2.net/).

- Because of copyright issues, and the complexity of trying to work around it, you need a BIOS dump extracted from a legitimately-owned PS2 console to use the emulator. For more information about the BIOS and how to get it from your console, visit [this page](https://pcsx2.net/config-guide/official-english-pcsx2-configuration-guide.html#Bios).
- PCSX2 mainly takes advantage of 2 CPU cores. As of [this commit](https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/commit/ac9bf45) PCSX2 can now take advantage of more than 2 cores using the MTVU speedhack. This can be a significant speedup on CPUs with 3+ cores, however on GS-limited games (or on CPUs with less than 2 cores) it may be a slowdown.
