We wanted to share this with you now rather than sit on it for even longer, now that it’s on the buildbot we can at least push regular updates to it, people can report issues and developers can contribute.

We hope that we will be able to figure out a proper portable core for Linux users soon.Įxpect a lot of Quality of Life enhancements to this core soon. It’s for that reason that we don’t have a Linux core yet on our buildbot.

PCSX2 still has a lot of inherently nonportable code in it, from WxWidgets to libglib. Therefore, for now, the experimental PCSX2 core kinda is doing its own thing. As of this moment a lot of work remains to be done on PCSX2 to sort out all the internals that are chockful of nonportable code. If not, we will likely have two cores, one being the upstream-friendly core and this being the hard-forked one. So either of two things can happen when that happens, if this is more closely aligned to upstream core is better in every way including performance, this will be replaced. Govanify is going through many (necessary) refactors in PCSX2 upstream to make the code more portable, and he has also expressed his interest in an upstreamable libretro core somewhere down the line when the final refactoring of the GUI is complete. We might just make resolution switching require a restart since this tends to be too unstable for now.

Switching resolution at runtime right now can be a bit unstable, so does switching fullscreen resolution.

We have found this happens the most with the Direct3D 11 renderers. It shouldn’t have a real detriment on performance but it is of course far from ideal and hopefully something we can fix soon with the help of some contributors.

We have not been able to figure out how to fix that yet as the PCSX2 codebase is a definite case of ‘here be dragons’, but for now when this happens, you can just bring up the Task Manager and close it manually.

There’s a bug that can happen right now upon closing content or exiting RetroArch with the PCSX2 core on Windows – the RetroArch process might not completely cleanly shut itself off and you might still be able to see a 0% CPU process remaining in the Task Manager.

It’s for similar reasons that the software renderer right now won’t work (it’s not compatible yet with x86_64, not in upstream either). It is still less compatible than the 32bit x86 dynarec in PCSX2, so keep that in mind.

This core uses the x86_64 dynarec which was added to PCSX2 a year ago.

On Xbox you will only be able to use Direct3D11 anyways. Direct3D 11 renderer can be faster than OpenGL but also has less features.

There’s a working OpenGL renderer and a Direct3D11 renderer option.

PCSX2, unlike Play!, will not work without a real BIOS. You need a working BIOS inside /pcsx2/bios. You can put all the asset files there from your regular PCSX2 install.

Create the following directory in your system directory – “pcsx2”.

It’s available for Windows only right now, but the same core has been tested to work on Xbox One/Series systems as well. Today we’re releasing an alpha version of the PCSX2 libretro core on the buildbot.

PCSX2 Alpha core available for Windows now!
