Key points
- Uses high-level emulation.
- Open-source and is still actively developed.[3]
- Requires a PS2 BIOS that can be ripped from the console.
- About 99% of PS2 games are considered playable.[4]
- Many games have bugs or glitches that require certain settings to fix. Check the compatibility list for more information.
