PCSX2 uses two CPU cores for emulation by default.

Windows 7 and Windows 8 support was dropped after stable release 1.6.0.Windows XP and Direct3D9 support was dropped after stable release 1.4.0.You need the Visual C++ 2019 x86 Redistributables to run PCSX2.A quick reference for GPU intensive games: Wiki Technical Notes Just like CPU requirements, this is also highly game dependent. Higher resolutions will require stronger cards 6x Internal, ~4K resolution will require a PassMark G3D Mark rating around 12000 (GeForce GTX 1070 Ti). Note: Recommended GPU is based on 3x Internal, ~1080p resolution requirements. PassMark G3D Mark rating around 6000 (GeForce GTX 1050 Ti) Four physical cores, with or without hyperthreading PassMark Single Thread Performance rating near or greater than 2100 Ubuntu 19.04/Debian or newer, Arch Linux, or other distro (64 bit) A quick reference for CPU intensive games: Wiki, Forum and CPU light games: Forum Recommended Operating System Some release titles and 2D games which underutilized the PS2 hardware may run on CPUs rated as low as 1200. Games that pushed the PS2 hardware to its limits will struggle on CPUs at this level. Note: Recommended Single Thread Performance is based on moderately complex games. PassMark G3D Mark rating around 3000 (GeForce GTX 750) Two physical cores, with hyperthreading PassMark Single Thread Performance rating near or greater than 1600 Ubuntu 18.04/Debian or newer, Arch Linux, or other distro (32 or 64 bit)

Past versions could only run a few public domain game demos, but newer versions can run most games at full speed, including popular titles such as Final Fantasy X and Devil May Cry 3. The PCSX2 project has been running for more than ten years. This allows you to play PS2 games on your PC, with many additional features and benefits. Its purpose is to emulate the PS2's hardware, using a combination of MIPS CPU Interpreters, Recompilers and a Virtual Machine which manages hardware states and PS2 system memory. I hope they add both bilinear and interlace options in the near future so we can save cfgs per game and have them perfectly tuned.PCSX2 is a free and open-source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator. I’ve only used KOF02UM to as an example above because it wasn’t a game originally in 224p, but by the nature of PS2 internal res (448p) it is exactly 2x the res of old arcade games which is curious to me and also a good thing, it means arcade ports are easily adjustable to original res. If you change your interlace option to 2, which is weave bff and combine with the crt geom shader (change the shader luminance value to the max too), you’ll have a BEAUTIFUL and crisp image in certain games, like for Tekkens, and actually most of the PS2 games, if you want to play 2D Fighting games that originally were 224p, you can change both filter and deinterlace to 0, this way the video is ready to be changed by the shader. I am mostly using crt hyllian or crt geom, both slightly modified to match my preferences and also capable to force low res like 224 on the PS2.
