PCSX2 v0.4

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Jul 31st, 2003

The anticipated next release of the PS2 emulator, PCSX2 has surfaced today! Only the Windows binary is available for now. The Linux binary will be released soon though and we'll let you know when it's here. By the way, a BIOS file is now recommended for better results. The PCSX2 team has been hard at work for awhile now and here's what they accomplished:

CPUs

Fixed the recompiler bug that made recompiler not to work in PCSX v0.3
New VU code. VU0 macromode should be perfect now
New optimized code for FPU
Rewrote VIF once again
Bugfixes to MMI
Reorganized recompiler

DMAs

Improved SIF0, SIF1 and SRP1
Added IPU0, IP1 DMAs

IPU

Added decoding and commands. Some samples are working. No PSS support yet!

IOP

Improved the IOP stuff. IOP is functional under BIOS execution :)

HLE

More WIP in Threads. Much better now
More WIP in padman

Hardware (lle)

Added SPU2 functions. SPU2 is now possible if someone implements an SPU2 plugin
Changed the GS protocol a bit. GS plugins need to be modified in order to work with v0.4
SIO2 added .Pads seem to work. Memcard partially functional
IOP rootcounters fixed
IOP DMAs implemented
MFIFO implemented

General

Fixed ELF loader
