Sony Playstation 2

The PlayStation 2 (PS2) is a sixth-generation console released by

Sony Computer Entertainment on October 26, 2000 and it was

retailed for $299.99. It has the Emotion Engine CPU at 300 MHz

with 32MB of RDRAM system memory and 4MB of eDRAM (VRAM).

Its GPU was a custom Graphics Synthesizer, which ran at 150

MHz. It became the highest selling console of all time with over

160 million units sold.This system scrapes metadata for the “ps2”

group(s) and loads the ps2 set from the currently selected theme,

if available.

PCSX2

PCSX2 is a free and open-source PlayStation 2 emulator for Windows, Linux, and macOS that supports

a wide range of PlayStation 2 video games with a high level of compatibility and functionality.

Although PCSX2 can closely mirror the original gameplay experience on the PlayStation 2, PCSX2

supports a number of improvements over gameplay on a traditional PlayStation 2, such as the ability

to use custom resolutions up to 8192×8192, anti-aliasing, and texture ﬁltering.

Batocera is shipping the latest PCSX2 Linux standalone binary. Check out the up-to-date oﬃcial

compatibility list for more information.

RetroArch

RetroArch (formerly SSNES), is a ubiquitous frontend that can run multiple “cores”, which are

essentially the emulators themselves. The most common cores use the libretro API, so that's why

cores run in RetroArch in Batocera are referred to as “libretro/(core name)”. RetroArch aims to unify

the feature set of all libretro cores and oﬀer a universal, familiar interface independent of platform.

RetroArch conﬁguration

RetroArch oﬀers a Quick Menu accessed by pressing [HOTKEY] + which can be used to alter

various things like RetroArch and core options, and controller mapping. Most RetroArch related

settings can be altered from Batocera's EmulationStation.

Standardized features available to all libretro cores: ps2.videomode, ps2.ratio, ps2.smooth,

Troubleshooting

A lot of the special conﬁguration for troubleshooting is done via pcsx2-config which

you can reach via the Batocera applications menu.

Performance

PS2 emulation with PCSX2 requires a relatively decent CPU with a good GPU for hardware

acceleration. It will only work on x86/x86_64 machines. Even if your Batocera system does emulate

Wii U or even PS3 games ﬁne it may struggle with PCSX2 emulation in terms of graphic improvements

or resolution upscaling. You can ﬁnd some PC performance measurements and recommendations on

this page.

If you still have trouble try to keep the original resolution and default emulation settings. Some games

need high-end, possibly overclocked CPUs or powerful GPUs, whereas some games run even on weak

processors.

The PCSX2 Wiki oﬀers tons of well documented guides and optimizations for speciﬁc

games - just use the search function on that wiki to ﬁnd your desired game guide.

With that said, what if you're experiencing unusually low performance on hardware that should

otherwise be running it at full speed? Sometimes the conﬁguration ﬁle gets corrupted and resets to

using “all defaults” according to PCSX2, which is to say not good. You can reset your conﬁguration by

doing the following:

Open up the ﬁle manager by pressing [F1] on the system list.1.

Click Applications in the top of the sidebar on the left.2.

Double-click pcsx2-conﬁg to open up the PCSX2 conﬁguration tool.3.

Navigate to Conﬁg → Emulator settings…4.

Slide the preset at the bottom of the window to the right until it says “3 - Balanced”. On older,5.

single/dual-core machines you may want to slide this back to the default of “2 - Safe”.

Press Apply. Quit PCSX2 with [Ctrl]+[Q] or by using the File menu.6.

Test out your game. 7.

Intermittent warped audio

Due to how the synchronizing function of the audio plugin works, even when running games on a

computer that is capable of going way above 100% speed in a stable fashion, random bits of time-

stretched audio can be heard occasionally or even frequently.

A good workaround is to set the audio syncing method to Async Mix via pcsx2-config. This can

cause A/V sync issues with certain games and is not recommended with rhythm games. Do not

set it to None as it basically does the same thing as Async Mix but has more issues.

Speciﬁc game does not boot

Be aware that some games relies on BIOS to get start-up parameters and thus may not work correctly

with disabling the BIOS start animation. Therefore you should enable the boot animation in the ﬁrst

step for problematic games with ps2.fullboot=1.

Also ensure that automatic gameﬁxes are enabled in Batocera. If you still have problems take a look

at the oﬃcial PCSX2 Wiki and use the search function on that wiki to ﬁnd information for the aﬀected
