PCSX2
PCSX2 is an
open-source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux
operating systems. In its latest stable release, many PS2 games are playable,
and several games have full functionality. The main bottleneck in PS2 emulation
is emulating the multi-processor PS2 on a PC x86 architecture. Although each
CPU can be emulated well, accurately synchronizing the CPUs is very difficult.
The project has been
running for almost seven years now, and since it's initial release has grown in
compatibility. From initially just being able to run a few public domain demos,
it's current state enables many games to boot and actually be perfectly
playable, such as the 'famous' Final Fantasy X or Devil May Cry 3.
