PCSX2 Plugin Release
As the 0.4 release of Playstation2 emulator, PCSX2 approaches, I guess it's neccessary for the team to start updating the plugins. Warning - These plugins will NOT work on prior versions of PCSX2, but WILL work on PCSX2 0.4, which is expected soon. Full details are below.
Details:
Hi . As pcsx2 0.4 release comes closer every day it is neccesary to update our plugins too. The plugins specs have been changed a lot so old plugins will not work on pcsx2 0.4 and new plugins will not work on the old pcsx2 so be warned!.
so here the plugins:
- cdvdnull 0.3
- cdvd linuz 0.3
- padwinkeyb 0.4
- padxwin 0.3
- spu2null 0.2
Notice that you can now make a working SPU2 plugin. Just get spu2null functions and implement...
More plugins + the promising 0.4 wll follow in the next days.
stay tuned

1964 WIP News
schibo has updated the Official 1964 site with some WIP news.
Hi. Maybe it's because it's the summertime, or maybe it's because our website hasn't been updated in over 8 months, but I've received a lot of emails lately asking about the status of 1964.
As many of you already know, we are approaching our final release of 1964. It is likely that we will release 0.9.9 before the final 1.0.0 as a final beta. Perpetual scope creep coupled with real life makes giving a release date impossible right now, yada yada, but stay tuned. In fact, Rice and I are both quite busy with our studies, which is top priority.
So, we've already given a few small hints in the 1964 messageboard about what to expect. Here's a few more bits of info:
- F.A.Gorce Gemini support.
- Improved NetPlay.
- RidgeRacer bug finally fixed.
- New audio plugin.
- 99% of playable games now work in the faster 32bit core, including Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Banjo Tooie. The remaining games that are playable work in the 64bit core.
- Many new core enhancements and bug fixes, including SSE optimizations.
- A completely redesigned fpu for the dynarec that never needs to check the fpu mode at fpu opcodes.
- Donkey Kong 64 fixed. Core bugfixes fixed graphics issues with this game. It's fun!
Thanks to IxI SoNiK IxI for the news.

- A frame IRQ counter bug, now "Akagawa no Yuurei Ressha" and "Dragon Warrior" among others work as they should.
- A bug which sometimes caused the user defined IPS path to be ignored.
- Rewrote a few parts in the movie player/recorder. Should be more stable now.
Changed:
- The square channel's default frequency limit. This fixes the sound in "Mega Man 2" and possibly a few other games.
- Cleaned up a few thing in the GUI.
- Improved sound quality.
- Corrected an entry in the pAPU's length counter LUT.
- Lowered the output volume on the FDS sound chip.
Thanks to Yu-Gi-Oh for the news!
