This speed will be used when the fast forward hotkey is pressed/toggled. Slow Motion Speed Sets the slow motion speed. This speed will be used when the slow motion hotkey is pressed/toggled. Speed Limiter Checked Limits the emulation to the appropriate framerate for the currently running game. Cycle Rate Higher values may increase internal framerate in games, but will increase CPU requirements substantially. Lower values will reduce the CPU load allowing lightweight games to run full speed on weaker CPUs. Cycle Skip Makes the emulated Emotion Engine skip cycles. Helps a small subset of games like SOTC. Most of the time it's harmful to performance. Affinity Control Sets the priority for specific threads in a specific order ignoring the system scheduler. May help CPUs with big (P) and little (E) cores (e.g. Intel 12th or newer generation CPUs from Intel or other vendors such as AMD) MTVU (Multi-threaded VU1) Generally a speedup on CPUs with 3 or more threads. Safe for most games, but a few are incompatible and may hang. Instant VU1 Runs VU1 instantly. Provides a modest speed improvement in most games. Safe for most games, but a few games may exhibit graphical errors. Unchecked Fast disc access, less loading times. Check HDLoader compatibility lists for known games that have issues with this. Automatically loads and applies cheats on game start. Allows games and homebrew to access files / folders directly on the host computer. Sets the vsync queue size to 0, making every frame be completed and presented by the GS before input is polled, and the next frame begins. Using this setting can reduce input lag, at the cost of measurably higher CPU and GPU requirements. Maximum Frame Latency 2 Frames Sets the maximum number of frames that can be queued up to the GS, before the CPU thread will wait for one of them to complete before continuing. Higher values can assist with smoothing out irregular frame times, but add additional input lag. Adjusts the emulation speed so the console's refresh rate matches the host's refresh rate when both VSync and Audio Resampling settings are enabled. This results in the smoothest animations possible, at the cost of potentially increasing the emulation speed by less than 1%. Scale To Host Refresh Rate will not take effect if the console's refresh rate is too far from the host's refresh rate. Users with variable refresh rate displays should disable this option.

Can cause issues. Automatically loads and applies no-interlacing patches on game start. Can cause issues. Disables interlacing offset which may reduce blurring in some situations. Bilinear Filtering Enables bilinear post processing filter. Smooths the overall picture as it is displayed on the screen. Corrects positioning between pixels. Enables PCRTC Offsets which position the screen as the game requests. Useful for some games such as WipEout Fusion for its screen shake effect, but can make the picture blurry. Enables the option to show the overscan area on games which draw more than the safe area of the screen. FMV Aspect Ratio Overrides the FMV aspect ratio. Checked Enables internal Anti-Blur hacks. Less accurate to PS2 rendering but will make a lot of games look less blurry. Enable this option to match PCSX2's refresh rate with your current monitor or screen. VSync is automatically disabled when it is not possible (eg. running at non-100% speed). Integer Scaling Adds padding to the display area to ensure that the ratio between pixels on the host to pixels in the console is an integer number. May result in a sharper image in some 2D games. Aspect Ratio Auto Standard (4:3/3:2 Progressive) Deinterlacing Screenshot Size Determines the resolution at which screenshots will be saved. Internal resolutions preserve more detail at the cost of file size. Screenshot Format Selects the format which will be used to save screenshots. JPEG produces smaller files, but loses detail. Screenshot Quality 50% Selects the quality at which screenshots will be compressed. Higher values preserve more detail for JPEG, and reduce file size for PNG. Stretch Height 100% Fullscreen Mode Borderless Fullscreen Left 0px Top Right Bottom Native (PS2) (Default) Control the accuracy level of the mipmapping emulation. Texture Filtering Control the texture filtering of the emulation. Trilinear Filtering Control the texture tri-filtering of the emulation. Anisotropic Filtering Reduces texture aliasing at extreme viewing angles. Dithering Reduces banding between colors and improves the perceived color depth. Off: Disables any dithering. Unscaled: Native Dithering / Lowest dithering effect does not increase size of squares when upscaling. Scaled: Upscaling-aware / Highest dithering effect. CRC Fix Level Control the number of Auto-CRC fixes and hacks applied to games. Blending Accuracy Control the accuracy level of the GS blending unit emulation. The higher the setting, the more blending is emulated in the shader accurately, and the higher the speed penalty will be. Do note that Direct3D's blending is reduced in capability compared to OpenGL/Vulkan Texture Preloading Uploads entire textures at once instead of small pieces, avoiding redundant uploads when possible. Improves performance in most games, but can make a small selection slower. When enabled GPU converts colormap-textures, otherwise the CPU will. It is a trade-off between GPU and CPU. Enabling this option gives you the ability to change the renderer and upscaling fixes to your games. However IF you have ENABLED this, you WILL DISABLE AUTOMATIC SETTINGS and you can re-enable automatic settings by unchecking this option. Does useless work on the CPU during readbacks to prevent it from going to into powersave modes. May improve performance but with a significant increase in power usage. Submits useless work to the GPU during readbacks to prevent it from going into powersave modes. May improve performance but with a significant increase in power usage. Extra Rendering Threads 2 threads Number of rendering threads: 0 for single thread, 2 or more for multithread (1 is for debugging). If you have 4 threads on your CPU pick 2 or 3. You can calculate how to get the best performance (amount of CPU threads - 2). 7+ threads will not give much more performance and could perhaps even lower it. Force a primitive flush when a framebuffer is also an input texture. Fixes some processing effects such as the shadows in the Jak series and radiosity in GTA:SA. Enables mipmapping, which some games require to render correctly. Half Screen Fix Control the half-screen fix detection on texture shuffling. CPU Sprite Renderer Size Software Clut Render Skipdraw Range Start 0 Completely skips drawing surfaces from the surface in the left box up to the surface specified in the box on the right. Skipdraw Range End Disable the support of Depth buffer in the texture cache. It can help to increase speed but it will likely create various glitches. This option disables multiple safe features. Disables accurate Unscale Point and Line rendering which can help Xenosaga games. Disables accurate GS Memory Clearing to be done on the CPU, and let the GPU handle it, which can help Kingdom Hearts games. By default, the texture cache handles partial invalidations. Unfortunately it is very costly to compute CPU wise. This hack replaces the partial invalidation with a complete deletion of the texture to reduce the CPU load. It helps snowblind engine games. Convert 4-bit and 8-bit frame buffer on the CPU instead of the GPU. Helps Harry Potter and Stuntman games. It has a big impact on performance. Uploads GS data when rendering a new frame to reproduce some effects accurately. Fixes black screen issues in games like Armored Core: Last Raven. Allows the texture cache to reuse as an input texture the inner portion of a previous framebuffer. In some selected games this is enabled by default regardless of this setting. Half Pixel Offset Might fix some misaligned fog, bloom, or blend effect. Round Sprite Corrects the sampling of 2D sprite textures when upscaling. Fixes lines in sprites of games like Ar tonelico when upscaling. Half option is for flat sprites, Full is for all sprites. Texture Offsets X Offset for the ST/UV texture coordinates. Fixes some odd texture issues and might fix some post processing alignment too. Texture Offsets Y Fixes issues with upscaling(vertical lines) in Namco games like Ace Combat, Tekken, Soul Calibur, etc. Lowers the GS precision to avoid gaps between pixels when upscaling. Fixes the text on Wild Arms games. Replaces post-processing multiple paving sprites by a single fat sprite. It reduces various upscaling lines. Contrast Adaptive Sharpening Sharpness Enables saturation, contrast, and brightness to be adjusted. Values of brightness, saturation, and contrast are at default 50. Applies the FXAA anti-aliasing algorithm to improve the visual quality of games. Brightness 50 Contrast TV Shader OSD Scale Show OSD Messages Shows on-screen-display messages when events occur such as save states being created/loaded, screenshots being taken, etc. Show Game Frame Rate Shows the internal frame rate of the game in the top-right corner of the display. Show Emulation Speed Shows the current emulation speed of the system in the top-right corner of the display as a percentage. Shows the resolution of the game in the top-right corner of the display. Shows host's CPU utilization. Shows host's GPU utilization. Shows counters for internal graphical utilization, useful for debugging. Shows OSD icon indicators for emulation states such as Pausing, Turbo, Fast Forward, and Slow Motion. Displays warnings when settings are enabled which may break games. Override Texture Barriers Override Geometry Shader Allows the GPU instead of just the CPU to transform lines into sprites. This reduces CPU load and bandwidth requirement, but it is heavier on the GPU. GS Dump Compression Uses a blit presentation model instead of flipping when using the Direct3D 11 renderer. This usually results in slower performance, but may be required for some streaming applications, or to uncap framerates on some systems. Disable Frame Buffer Fetch Detects when idle frames are being presented in 25/30fps games, and skips presenting those frames. The frame is still rendered, it just means the GPU has more time to complete it (this is NOT frame skipping). Can smooth our frame time fluctuations when the CPU/GPU are near maximum utilization, but makes frame pacing more inconsistent and can increase input lag. Presents frames on the main GS thread instead of a worker thread. Used for debugging frametime issues. Could reduce chance of missing a frame or reduce tearing at the expense of more erratic frame times. Only applies to the Vulkan renderer. GS Download Mode Accurate Skips synchronizing with the GS thread and host GPU for GS downloads. Can result in a large speed boost on slower systems, at the cost of many broken graphical effects. If games are broken and you have this option enabled, please disable it first.

Hides the mouse pointer/cursor when the emulator is in fullscreen mode. Renders the game to a separate window, instead of the main window. If unchecked, the game will display over the top of the game list. Hides the main window (with the game list) when a game is running, requires Render To Separate Window to be enabled. When enabled, custom per-game settings will be appled. Disable to always use the global configuration. Shows the game you are currently playing as part of your profile in Discord.
