PCSX2's Hardware Renderer has gained support for AA1! AA1 is the PS2's name for antialiasing, which works by adding partially transparent pixels to the edges of lines and triangles to give a softer edge. Fixes games like God of War and more!

Did you know? PCSX2 has a built-in feature to create game shortcuts! It lets you generate shortcuts directly from the app; no manual setup required. Plus, a recent update now lets you add the game icon as well. These QoL improvements should help with organizing your game library!

New in PCSX2 v2.7.207: Windows users no longer need to hunt for ffmpeg DLLs anymore to use our built-in video capture feature! The Codec list has also been simplified to help reduce choice paralysis! The choice now comes down to H264, H265 and AV1.

Here's a very happy 9th birthday shoutout to melonDS, a great emulator made possible through the hard work of Arisotura et al. You may not be 6th-generation to gaming historians, but you're 6th-generation to us. 🤎 #melonds #retrogaming #emulation

What's the best game to enjoy on PCSX2 this Halloween? Maybe more importantly, what's the absolute *worst* game to enjoy on PCSX2 this Halloween? (Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys is cheating, and you will be disqualified.) #halloween #emulation #retrogaming

Thanks to the hard work of KamFretoZ, PCSX2 now has a shortcuts feature on Windows and Linux! If you right-click a game in your library and select "Create Game Shortcut", you can place a custom shortcut on your desktop or in your start menu/application launcher that launches directly into your game!

Our new setup docs are finally out! We hope these set the standard for what's to come in terms of readability, accessibility, comprehensiveness, and polish. #PCSX2 wouldn't exist without all of you, and we owe it to the community to make it as open as possible. #emulation #retrogaming

With the release of #macOS 26 (Tahoe) last week, we'd like to hear from the community about any issues you've found. Qt has not implemented the Glass UI style yet, so PCSX2's UI will not line up with the system theme. Our main concerns right now are how UI works and the ability to play games.

Hey, guys, we've decided on one more delay until the 24th. We have issues left to fix (and have identified and fixed a vulnerability), but this is mainly for the blog. To get it just right, we've trained an LLM on @dolphin-emu.org's blogs, but it won't stop talking about Sexy Poker for some reason.

Hey, everyone. We've decided to delay PCSX2 2.4 until June 13th. The testers threatened to hold a mutiny if they couldn't play Deltarune on release day. (In reality, we want it to be as polished as possible since it'll be months until the next major release. We're really grateful for your patience.)

We're excited to announce a tentative release date of June 6th for PCSX2 2.4 and its blog post. Before that, we're doing everything we can to find and squash as many bugs as possible, and we can't do it without your help! If you're ready, come join this final push on GitHub or on Discord! #emulation

The #PCSX2 wiki and forums are migrating to a new web host; thus, the wiki will temporarily be read-only and the forums closed during the migration. This is expected to be done within 24 hours. Apologies for the belated announcement. #emulation #retrogaming

The latest nightly version of #PCSX2 now has signed code binaries on #macOS, so users will no longer have to worry about the security message stating that the package comes from an unidentified developer. Huge shoutout to @fobes.bsky.social for getting this set up. #emulation #retrogaming

A few of the project members are looking at Qt 6.9 as a way to finally get #Wayland working with PCSX2 on #Linux. We're going to keep testing, but we haven't found any problems so far. Qt 6.9's final release is on 18 March. We hope to see Wayland support in the coming months. #emulation #retrogaming
