Visit PCSX2

PCSX2 is a free and open-source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator. Its purpose is to emulate the PS2's hardware, using a combination of MIPS CPU Interpreters, Recompilers, and a Virtual Machine that manages hardware states and system memory. The project has been running for almost 20 years. Past versions could only run a few game demos, but newer versions can run most games at full speed, including titles like Final Fantasy X and Devil May Cry 3. A significant majority of the PS2 library is considered playable.
