Excited to try this later. I still play my PS2 to this day and this emulator is amazing, projects like this really put a smile on my face 👌🏻

One thing i'd like is if they had a recommend settings for each game so everything at least works easily. That way if a game won't work with a setting or without you don't have to worry about it.

The influence of Stenzek is noticeable on this new pcsx2 version, he had been helping a lot

[xpmon]

The author of duckstation probably worked on this, what he has done for duckstation UI on android and PC is one of the best

[artars]

i knew Stenzek worked on PCSX2 lately, but the new design is literally the Duckstation v2(which was itself very similar to Dolphin) and i absolutely love it

[TheMetalGaia]

Absolutely brilliant! Been using this emulator for years, glad to see it getting a Duckstation-style facelift. Collaborating with that developer seems like it paid off!

[kaktus]

This new interface reminds me a lot of Dolphin

[bakflow]

I tested all of the games I have with this new update and with a 3080 Ti the emulator chose to run them using Vulkan. Even Silent Hill: Shattered Memories ran great without having to tweak anything in the settings, which is amazing. Vulkan seems to be the way to go for best compatibility.

[petruccilewis]

It looks a lot like duckstartion, whose features I love, so I have tons of faith in these new updates

[ukrainer]

The per game settings is the one thing that AetherSX2 on Android did really well. Glad to see it's coming to desktops now!

[davidbanner]

Like most of us, I have been waiting for this a very long time. That and auto-updates really makes a difference. Thank you PCSX2 team.

[MPaz-ART]

MAN THIS IS SOO AWESOME !
i just installed and tested, in my older PCSX2 i was having issues to run NBA street vol.2, now in this new PCSX2 the game runs soooo smoothly even the music is clean, thanks a lot for this well explained tutorial.

[dionoperational]

me, watching this while playing GT1 on duckstation: hey! that looks familiar!
per-game settings is really useful feature to have on emulators. definitely gonna try it out

[Leequidude]

I've been saying to myself while using duckstation "wish pcsx2 would update its UI and features like this" and now it's here! 😃

[Clone]

Pcsx2 is turning out to be an amazing emulator. I didn't think we'd ever get Vulkan support with it. I run it through Batocera betas and it's been pretty much flawless.

[PhatsoJuggalo]

Incredible! Burnout 3 and Scarface are finally playable! i've been waitng for an update like this for years! The only game I'm having trouble with is the original Stuntman

[ofernandofilo]

the bios number you are using is the only one that both the official RetroArch and PCSX2 documentation DO NOT recommend using. DO NOT use BIOS 10 000.

[aidanm]

Thought you were hugging that line too close on GT 4.. then you cut as you were about to go off track ahha. Good vid.

[dragonandavatarfan]

This is just fantastic and i am glad they finally decided to work on their UI a bit. I wanna add that I have massive respect for the devs of pcsx2 for pretty much spending their precious free time on working and improving this emulator almost every day but it always felt weird to me that you had to download third-party programs just to configure ur games separately and add cover arts, things we pretty much took for granted from other emulators.

[shakeyourbunny]

The interface looks verrrry similar to that of Duckstation.
