PlayStation 2 Overview
The PlayStation 2 is a home video game console released by Sony in March 2000. Abbreviated as "PS2", it was released as the successor to the PS, and is backward compatible with the PS. Graphic performance was greatly improved compared to the PS, allowing for more realistic expressions. In addition, the use of DVD as the medium for video games has further increased the capacity of video games, resulting in the appearance of many games of a much larger scale. The PS2 was a huge success, far ahead of the GameCube, which was released at the same time, in terms of both hardware sales and number of titles.

PlayStation 2 Emulator OverviewTwo types of PCSX2 continue to be updated: PCSX2, which is more accurate but requires a BIOS, and Play!, which is less accurate but does not require a BIOS. As of 2023, PCSX2 is recommended due to its superior accuracy and functionality.
With PCSX2, if you set the high image quality modestly, you can play well even on a integrated graphics.

PCSX2 |  |
It runs more than 99% of games and is by far the most popular PS2 emulator. It is rich in useful features, and includes a launcher function, high image quality, customizable hotkeys, saving settings for each game, and more. There are two downloadable files from the official site, Stable (stable version) and Nightly Releases (test version), but they have their own advantages and disadvantages. There are three versions of Nightly Releases: AVX2 Qt, Qt, and SSE4 Qt, but the "AVX2 Qt" version is recommended.
