*************************** * PCSX2 FAQ v0.2 * *************************** This faq had been written for pcsx2 v0.0?? Q: Why XYZ game doesn't work? A: Cause pcsx2 can't play games simple :) Q: Okay, and why pcsx2 can't run games? A: Basically cause pcsx2 emulates a small amount of the ps2.It can't play games (yet) but can play some demos that you can find on the net Q: Okay where i can find that demos? A: you can try at our page http://pcsx2.ngemu.com/ or http://ps2dev.livemedia.com.au/ and probably to a few more Q:Does pcsx2 request bios? A: at the moment not but surely it will in some moment.. Q:Why use bios? Do it HLE A:HLE is diffucult to be done in ps2 since developing companies uses their own modules for each game. That means that we have to HLE each module. Tsss that not a good idea :) Q:Okay so what you waiting for??? Make bios to run! A: Well if it was so easy. :) Basically pcsx2 can boot a bios but it doesn't go far since we haven't figure out how to make SIF DMAS to work.Any help on that will be really appriciate! Q: I see some bugs with flying triangles.. What's that? A: Maybe is the incomplete emulation of the vector units.Some will work okay some other not. Depends if the instruction set have been implement. Q: Hmm i don't think that the demo looks the same way as in my ps2. A: That is probably a GS bug.Well we will be glad if you notice as this bug Mail us. Q: Your emu sucks! i don't wanna use it! A: Then do as a favour and don't. We already spend to much of our time on that . Q: Your emu rocks! How can i help you? A: Developing a GS plugin or something like that would be nice! :) You can find the open-src plugins in our page (http://pcsx2.ngemu.com/). Of course we also need any good knowledge of some parts of ps2.Mail us. Q: I was playing with your debugger and i found a bug! A: Then write down the bug in a txt and send it to us with the name of the elf file you found that bug with! Q: Can you give me some more technical answers? A: I could but if i start write here i will need months!Mail me your questions.. Q: When will you gonna release a new version? A: When we have something good to show! Internal changes doesn't matter to users if it haven't got any visual effect :) Q: The gssoft plugin is very slow A: Try use the Opengl one by Absolute0.It is less compatible but is faster! http://gstaris.ngemu.com/ ******************************************************************* v0.2 Add some more questions and remove some others v0.1 First Release ******************************************************************* This faq was written by shadow of pcsx2 to make clear some things!
