Two things:
1. This is a nightly build, and things might not work as anticipated...yet.
2. I said AVXN2 for some reason. AVX stands for Advanced Vector Extensions. AVXN stands for Subscribe to Mr. Sujano.

This emulator went from "ah yes that emulator that didn't make any progress for almost 2 decade" to "yoo duckstation dev shaking things up"

TIP: add cover art by adding artwork to the "covers" folder in the pcsx2 root directory. Then in the pcsx2 toolbar change view type to grid mode.

Honestly, I'd say this is one of the most significant updates to any emulator in a decade or more. It feels more like Duckstation and it's cleaned up so nicely. Superior features and graphical enhancements and everything runs butter smooth. 10/10

PS2 news is always a bless for me.

Thank you for letting us know with these emulation news

FINALLY, per-game settings!

I hated that you could only change global settings before, and that made PCSX2 a real pain in the ass.

Finally after years of listening to the devs say that all this gui quality was a waste of time, they finally taken their heads out of their butts. The option for updating directly from the app, and being able to just click on a game and run it, holy duck, it's baffling that something so basic has taken so much time to be implemented.

I literally just tried out DuckStation on PC a couple of days ago, and I loved the UI sooo much. Now that PCSX2 has the same/similar UI, I'm really happy about that and I'll try it out after a little while when it's a little stable and I'm free from my finals.

So pleased to hear about the new method of updating PCSX2. I never looked forward to taking snapshots of my settings, always had to back them up for every game as each GTA game ran differently on my system. I will wait a bit before I update as I really did like the old PCSX2 layout.

This is an update I've been waiting for years. Finally, PCSX2 is slowly but surely coming up to part with Dolphin. It was soo annoying having game settings for each game I wanted to play. Thanks to this new update, this struggle is now a thing of the past.

It's nice to see the long requested feature of per game settings for PCSX2 I'm really happy :)

[StreamerSchool]

I've been waiting on this day for so long. It's finally here!

[elimalinsky]

It seems that Stenzek has worked on the new UI. Very similar to Duckstation in look and feel.

[MUCKLEECH]

This is fantastic news. I can’t wait to upgrade to this version tomorrow 🤘

[kamm]

Looks way better
Individual setting is very needed option

I will wait for some time for them to polish it even more then get it

[crimson]

Hopefully we can get some performance improvements down the line as well.

Amazing work to the PCSX2 team! I always hated updating the build and then having to manually redo my settings but this is a whole lot better! And even pleasing to look at especially to casual folks! A more modern take! Even the new website looks amazing!

[bartfratze]

so damn awesome to see an auto updater like rpcs3 has. <3 great news thanks man

[cryptidproductions]

I personally really like the graphical mode they've added for the game list where you can apply boxart to your games and browse it like game client.

[gabrielribeiro-mills]

This is amazing! First the website and now more new things to come for PCSX2. I think I will wait until the new version is completely done.
