If cheats are enabled and loaded (pnatch files from the cheats folder, or from the cheats_ws folder, or from cheats_ws.zip), then they were still applied for some time while rebooting the emulation after a game is already loaded (e.g. start pcsx2, boot fast, play, boot full). This could cause the reboot to fail if some patches were applied (e.g. widescreen patches). It seems that the offending application of the cheats happens at SysCoreThread::VsyncInThread(), which possibly runs before the config change event is handled (and re-load the cheats for the current crc). So reset/invalidate the cheats when the VM is reset. This should improve issue #851, but ultimately not fully fix it, since the patches (from games db) are not reset yet with this commit, and we don't have a function to do so. For now the non-cheats patches are only reset/reloaded when a configuration change is being handled. It would probably be a good thing if we can unify patches/cheats. |

PCSX2
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, Recompilers and a 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 to check the latest compatibility status of games (with more than 2000 titles tested), or ask for help in the official forums.
The latest officially released stable version is version 1.4.0.
Installers and binaries for both Windows and Linux are available from our website.
Development builds are also available from our website.
System Requirements
Minimum
- OS: Windows Vista SP2 or newer or GNU/Linux (32-bit or 64-bit)
- CPU: Any that supports SSE2 (Pentium 4 and up, Athlon64 and up)
- GPU: DirectX 10 GPU or better
- RAM: 2GB or more
Recommended
- OS: Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (64-bit) or GNU/Linux (64-bit)
- CPU: Intel Haswell (or AMD equivalent) @ 3.2GHz or better
- GPU: DirectX 11 GPU or greater
- RAM: 4GB or more
Notes
-
You need the Visual C++ 2015 x86 Redistributables for this version to work.
-
PCSX2 1.4.0 is the last version to support Windows XP. Windows XP is no longer getting updates (including security-related updates), and graphics drivers for Windows XP are older and no longer maintained.
-
Make sure to update your operating system, drivers, and DirectX (if applicable) to ensure you have the best experience possible. Having a newer GPU is also recommended so you have the latest supported drivers.
-
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.
-
PCSX2 mainly takes advantage of 2 CPU cores. As of this commit 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.
