Use Global Setting [%1]
Rounding Mode
Chop/Zero (Default)
Changes how PCSX2 handles rounding while emulating the Emotion Engine's Floating Point Unit (EE FPU). Because the various FPUs in the PS2 are non-compliant with international standards, some games may need different modes to do math correctly. The default value handles the vast majority of games; <b>modifying this setting when a game is not having a visible problem can cause instability.</b>
Division Rounding Mode
Nearest (Default)
Determines how the results of floating-point division is rounded. Some games need specific settings; <b>modifying this setting when a game is not having a visible problem can cause instability.</b>
Clamping Mode
Normal (Default)
Changes how PCSX2 handles keeping floats in a standard x86 range. The default value handles the vast majority of games; <b>modifying this setting when a game is not having a visible problem can cause instability.</b>
Enable Recompiler
Checked
Performs just-in-time binary translation of 64-bit MIPS-IV machine code to x86.
Wait Loop Detection
Wait loop: When the game makes the CPU do nothing (loop/spin) while it waits for something to happen (usually an interrupt).
Moderate speedup for some games, with no known side effects.
Enable Cache (Slow)
Unchecked
Interpreter only, provided for diagnostic.
INTC Spin Detection
INTC = Name of a PS2 register, leave as-is. "spin" = to make a cpu (or gpu) actively do nothing while you wait for something. Like spinning in a circle, you're moving but not actually going anywhere.
Huge speedup for some games, with almost no compatibility side effects.
Enable Fast Memory Access
Uses backpatching to avoid register flushing on every memory access.
"Backpatching" = To edit previously generated code to change what it does (in this case, we generate direct memory accesses, then backpatch them to jump to a fancier handler function when we realize they need the fancier handler function)
Pause On TLB Miss
Pauses the virtual machine when a TLB miss occurs, instead of ignoring it and continuing. Note that the VM will pause after the end of the block, not on the instruction which caused the exception. Refer to the console to see the address where the invalid access occurred.
Enable 128MB RAM (Dev Console)
Exposes an additional 96MB of memory to the virtual machine.
VU0 Rounding Mode
Changes how PCSX2 handles rounding while emulating the Emotion Engine's Vector Unit 0 (EE VU0). The default value handles the vast majority of games; <b>modifying this setting when a game is not having a visible problem will cause stability issues and/or crashes.</b>
VU1 Rounding Mode
Changes how PCSX2 handles rounding while emulating the Emotion Engine's Vector Unit 1 (EE VU1). The default value handles the vast majority of games; <b>modifying this setting when a game is not having a visible problem will cause stability issues and/or crashes.</b>
VU0 Clamping Mode
Changes how PCSX2 handles keeping floats in a standard x86 range in the Emotion Engine's Vector Unit 0 (EE VU0). The default value handles the vast majority of games; <b>modifying this setting when a game is not having a visible problem can cause instability.</b>
VU1 Clamping Mode
Changes how PCSX2 handles keeping floats in a standard x86 range in the Emotion Engine's Vector Unit 1 (EE VU1). The default value handles the vast majority of games; <b>modifying this setting when a game is not having a visible problem can cause instability.</b>
Enable VU0 Recompiler (Micro Mode)
VU0 = Vector Unit 0. One of the PS2's processors.
Enables VU0 Recompiler.
Enable VU1 Recompiler
VU1 = Vector Unit 1. One of the PS2's processors.
Enables VU1 Recompiler.
mVU Flag Hack
mVU = PCSX2's recompiler for VU (Vector Unit) code (full name: microVU)
Good speedup and high compatibility, may cause graphical errors.
Performs just-in-time binary translation of 32-bit MIPS-I machine code to x86.
Enable Game Fixes
Automatically loads and applies fixes to known problematic games on game start.
Enable Compatibility Patches

Synchronization
When running outside of 100% speed, adjusts the tempo on audio instead of dropping frames. Produces much nicer fast-forward/slowdown audio.
Default
Determines the buffer size which the time stretcher will try to keep filled. It effectively selects the average latency, as audio will be stretched/shrunk to keep the buffer size within check.
Output Latency
Determines the latency from the buffer to the host audio output. This can be set lower than the target latency to reduce audio delay.
Resets output volume back to the global/inherited setting.
Resets output volume back to the default.

"Demangling" is the opposite of "Name mangling", which is a process where a compiler takes function names and combines them with other characteristics of the function (e.g. what types of data it accepts) to ensure they stay unique even when multiple functions exist with the same name (but different inputs / const-ness).

Frame Pacing / Latency Control
frames
This string will appear next to the amount of frames selected, in a dropdown box.
Maximum Frame Latency:
Use Host VSync Timing
Sync to Host Refresh Rate
Optimal Frame Pacing
Vertical Sync (VSync)
Use Global Setting [%1]
Normal Speed
Sets the target emulation speed. It is not guaranteed that this speed will be reached, and if not, the emulator will run as fast as it can manage.
User Preference
Checked
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.
Makes the emulated Emotion Engine skip cycles. Helps a small subset of games like SOTC. Most of the time it's harmful to performance.
SOTC = Shadow of the Colossus. A game's title, should not be translated unless an official translation exists.
Affinity Control
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.
Fast-Forward Speed
The "User Preference" string will appear after the text "Recommended Value:"
100%
Sets the fast-forward speed. This speed will be used when the fast-forward hotkey is pressed/toggled.
Slow-Motion Speed
The "User Preference" string will appear after the text "Recommended Value:"
Sets the slow-motion speed. This speed will be used when the slow-motion hotkey is pressed/toggled.
EE Cycle Rate
EE Cycle Skip
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).
P-Core = Performance Core, E-Core = Efficiency Core. See if Intel has official translations for these terms.
Enable Multithreaded VU1 (MTVU1)
Generally a speedup on CPUs with 4 or more cores. Safe for most games, but a few are incompatible and may hang.
Loads the disc image into RAM before starting the virtual machine. Can reduce stutter on systems with hard drives that have long wake times, but significantly increases boot times.
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.
Speeds up emulation so that the guest refresh rate matches the host. This results in the smoothest animations possible, at the cost of potentially increasing the emulation speed by less than 1%. Sync 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.
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).
When synchronizing with the host refresh rate, this option disable's PCSX2's internal frame timing, and uses the host instead. Can result in smoother frame pacing, <strong>but at the cost of increased input latency</strong>.

Automatically loads and applies widescreen patches on game start. 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.
PCRTC: Programmable CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) Controller.
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 full-motion video (FMV) aspect ratio.
Determines the deinterlacing method to be used on the interlaced screen of the emulated console. Automatic should be able to correctly deinterlace most games, but if you see visibly shaky graphics, try one of the available options.
Control the texture's trilinear filtering of the emulation.
Control the accuracy level of the GS blending unit emulation.<br> The higher the setting, the more blending is emulated in the shader accurately, and the higher the speed penalty will be.<br> Do note that Direct3D's blending is reduced in capability compared to OpenGL/Vulkan.
Software Rendering Threads
CPU Sprite Render Size
Software CLUT Render
Try to detect when a game is drawing its own color palette and then renders it on the GPU with special handling.
This option disables game-specific render fixes.
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 with the Snowblind engine games.
Framebuffer Conversion
Convert 4-bit and 8-bit framebuffer on the CPU instead of the GPU. Helps Harry Potter and Stuntman games. It has a big impact on performance.

Does useless work on the CPU during readbacks to prevent it from going to into powersave modes. May improve performance during readbacks 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 during readbacks but with a significant increase in power usage.
Number of rendering threads: 0 for single thread, 2 or more for multithread (1 is for debugging). 2 to 4 threads is recommended, any more than that is likely to be slower instead of faster.
Disable the support of depth buffers in the texture cache. Will likely create various glitches and is only useful for debugging.
Allows the texture cache to reuse as an input texture the inner portion of a previous framebuffer.
Flushes all targets in the texture cache back to local memory when shutting down. Can prevent lost visuals when saving state or switching renderers, but can also cause graphical corruption.
Attempts to reduce the texture size when games do not set it themselves (e.g. Snowblind games).
Fixes issues with upscaling (vertical lines) in Namco games like Ace Combat, Tekken, Soul Calibur, etc.

Dumps replaceable textures to disk. Will reduce performance.
Includes mipmaps when dumping textures.
Allows texture dumping when FMVs are active. You should not enable this.
Loads replacement textures on a worker thread, reducing microstutter when replacements are enabled.
Loads replacement textures where available and user-provided.
Preloads all replacement textures to memory. Not necessary with asynchronous loading.
Enables FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening.
Determines the intensity the sharpening effect in CAS post-processing.
Adjusts brightness. 50 is normal.
Adjusts contrast. 50 is normal.
Adjusts saturation. 50 is normal.
Scales the size of the onscreen OSD from 50% to 500%.
Shows OSD icon indicators for emulation states such as Pausing, Turbo, Fast-Forward, and Slow-Motion.
Displays various settings and the current values of those settings, useful for debugging.
Displays a graph showing the average frametimes.

Extra Audio Arguments
Allow Exclusive Fullscreen
Overrides the driver's heuristics for enabling exclusive fullscreen, or direct flip/scanout.<br>Disallowing exclusive fullscreen may enable smoother task switching and overlays, but increase input latency.
Checked
Enables internal Anti-Blur hacks. Less accurate to PS2 rendering but will make a lot of games look less blurry.
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)
Changes the aspect ratio used to display the console's output to the screen. The default is Auto Standard (4:3/3:2 Progressive) which automatically adjusts the aspect ratio to match how a game would be shown on a typical TV of the era.
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.
100%
Vertical Stretch
Stretches (< 100%) or squashes (> 100%) the vertical component of the display.
Fullscreen Mode
Borderless Fullscreen
Chooses the fullscreen resolution and frequency.
Left
0px
Changes the number of pixels cropped from the left side of the display.
Top
Changes the number of pixels cropped from the top of the display.
Right
Changes the number of pixels cropped from the right side of the display.
Bottom
Changes the number of pixels cropped from the bottom of the display.
Native (PS2) (Default)
Control the resolution at which games are rendered. High resolutions can impact performance on older or lower-end GPUs.<br>Non-native resolution may cause minor graphical issues in some games.<br>FMV resolution will remain unchanged, as the video files are pre-rendered.
Texture Filtering
Control the texture filtering of the emulation.
Trilinear Filtering
Anisotropic Filtering
Reduces texture aliasing at extreme viewing angles.
Dithering
Blending Accuracy
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.
2 threads
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.
The maximum target memory width that will allow the CPU Sprite Renderer to activate on.
Tries to detect when a game is drawing its own color palette and then renders it in software, instead of on the GPU.
GPU Target CLUT
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
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.
Uploads GS data when rendering a new frame to reproduce some effects accurately.
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.
ST and UV are different types of texture coordinates, like XY would be spatial coordinates.
Texture Offsets Y
Lowers the GS precision to avoid gaps between pixels when upscaling. Fixes the text on Wild Arms games.
Wild Arms: name of a game series. Leave as-is or use an official translation.
Bilinear Upscale
Can smooth out textures due to be bilinear filtered when upscaling. E.g. Brave sun glare.
Replaces post-processing multiple paving sprites by a single fat sprite. It reduces various upscaling lines.
Force palette texture draws to render at native resolution.
Contrast Adaptive Sharpening
You might find an official translation for this on AMD's website (Spanish version linked): https://www.amd.com/es/technologies/radeon-software-fidelityfx
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
Applies a shader which replicates the visual effects of different styles of television set.
OSD Scale
Show OSD Messages
Shows on-screen-display messages when events occur such as save states being created/loaded, screenshots being taken, etc.
Shows the internal frame rate of the game in the top-right corner of the display.
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 the current controller state of the system in the bottom-left corner of the display.
Displays warnings when settings are enabled which may break games.

Parameters passed to the selected video codec.<br><b>You must use '=' to separate key from value and ':' to separate two pairs from each other.</b><br>For example: "crf = 21 : preset = veryfast"
Sets the audio bitrate to be used.
160 kbps
Parameters passed to the selected audio codec.<br><b>You must use '=' to separate key from value and ':' to separate two pairs from each other.</b><br>For example: "compression_level = 4 : joint_stereo = 1"
GS Dump Compression
Change the compression algorithm used when creating a GS dump.
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.
Blit = a data operation. You might want to write it as-is, but fully uppercased. More information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_blit
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.
Enable Debug Device
Enables API-level validation of graphics commands.
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.
Default
This string refers to a default codec, whether it's an audio codec or a video codec.
Forces the use of FIFO over Mailbox presentation, i.e. double buffering instead of triple buffering. Usually results in worse frame pacing.

Pointer Setup
<p>By default, GunCon2 will use the mouse pointer. To use the mouse, you <strong>do not</strong> need to configure any bindings apart from the trigger and buttons.</p>
<p>If you want to use a controller, or lightgun which simulates a controller instead of a mouse, then you should bind it to Relative Aiming. Otherwise, Relative Aiming should be <strong>left unbound</strong>.</p>
Relative Aiming
Try to use Sony's official terminology for this. A good place to start would be in the console or the DualShock 2's manual. If this element was officially translated to your language by Sony in later DualShocks, you may use that term.
