The emulator allows standard PCs to run games designed for PlayStation 2, utilizing advanced features such as screen resolution scaling, creating virtual and shared memory cards, saving states, patching games, and recording gameplay. MIPS CPU emulation on x86 systems is achieved using recompilation and interpretation in a virtual machine. The emulator's performance and capabilities are sufficient to run 99% of the 2500 games tested for Sony PlayStation 2, including Final Fantasy X and Devil May Cry 3. The project's code is written in C++ and distributed under the GPLv3 license.    <\/p>\n<p>In the new version:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"l\"> The Qt-based interface is closer in capabilities to Big Picture mode.\n<li class=\"l\"> Added the ability to place shortcuts on the desktop and in the application menu to launch specific games through PCSX2.\n<li class=\"l\"> In Big Picture mode, icons have been updated and Emoji support has been added.\n<li class=\"l\"> Support for installing custom background images has been added.    <center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Release of PCSX2 2.6.0, the emulator for Sony PlayStation 2 \" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/50fe8e8bea3a6aab6fd3a71a2fe3eb76.png\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center>  <center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Release of PCSX2 2.6.0, the emulator for Sony PlayStation 2 \" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/7e4a1623e9a0f389c17b7dcb433ac097.png\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center>\n<li class=\"l\"> Rendering has been significantly accelerated using Direct3D12. For the game Hitman Blood Money, the performance increase reached 596%, while for Death by Degrees it was 413%. Additionally, rendering has been optimized through Direct3D11, allowing for a 9% performance boost when launching the game Enthusia. The quality and accuracy of texture rendering using Direct3D11 and 12 are comparable to rendering with Vulkan and OpenGL.\n<li class=\"l\"> Many optimizations have been added, allowing for improved rendering quality and increased performance when launching many games.    <\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a content=\"nofollow\" rel=\"nofollow\"
