PCSX2 0.9.6 released!!
After nearly 16 months, here comes a new Pcsx2 version. Pcsx2 0.9.6
These months were somewhat problematic for pcsx2, due to an initial slowdown of the development process. Then, last fall, the Playground branch was created, and development picked up again. Finally, with the merge of Pcsx2 and Pcsx2 playground, the emulator's development returned once again as it was before, and now we can give you a release which should (we hope!) leave you happy.
We would like to thank everyone that was still waiting for a release, and coming to our forums. We would also like to thank everyone to encouraged and otherwise supported us. This release is especially for you.
Important note: you NEED to update directx or you won't be able to use the emulator! You can do it with either of the links below:
DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

or

What's new in 0.9.6?
- Huge rewrite, mainly from the new members of the Playground branch! Too many speedups, optimizations and other fixes to write here! Many famous games will now work.
- Dropped VM build replaced by the all new Vtlb, meaning no more 'Cannot allocate memory' errors at start up, more accurate emulation, slightly lower speeds but with many optimizations to come
- Full memcard support, working in all games
- Improved Frameskip/VU-skip
- Special Game Fixes Section
- Advanced Options Section for custom tweaking VU/FPU behavior.
- Rewritten Multithreaded GS (MTGS) mode, with as much as 15% speedup for HT machines (only 3-5% for Dual Core), and fixes many instabilities.
- Improved VU/FPU Flags and Clamping support (helps fix odd behaviors and SPS in some games)
- Improved EE/IOP synchronization (fixes many freeze-ups and vmhacks).
- Improved CDVD support.
The older versions will NOT be supported in our forums,so 0.9.4,0.9.5 and playground are not supported anymore Smile
Without further delay grab the 0.9.6 installer HERE!

Mirrors kindly provided by EmuDev HERE - tbob19, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3Awesome. Plays FFXII at a perfect 60fps with no slow downs, although the sound is a little off. Tried ICO and it runs great, but also the sound is a little off. I can finally play my favorite PS2 games in high resolution.
- Zephyr618, on 03/02/2009, -0/+3KH2FM+ is now 100% playable with only 1 very minor graphical glitch.

- Renton, on 03/02/2009, -1/+1^If I actually had a PS2, I'd have little use for a PS2 emulator.
Anyway, you can get them here:

Thank you one more times to the coders team and all people which have participate to the pcsx2 project by any way.
ps: excuse if there is much faults of english syntax - MigerusanTTE, on 03/13/2009, -0/+00.96???........ that's great, cause since 0.95 I thought a new release will never come out.....lucky I was wrong, gonna test it and then I tell you what I think (start with KOF 2006 -40 FPS on 0.95-, MGS 3-didn't work- and FFX-X2 -50 FPS, geometry stuff-).If those problems are almost fixed, God will have a new name......
- WhereAmI, on 03/02/2009, -2/+2*****, I said get it from your PS2 since thats the legal way. Way to post a link that any smart person would find.
