Open source PS2 emulator PCSX2 v2.4 brings SDL 3, Wayland support, lots of compatibility fixes

PlayStation 2 emulator PCSX2 v2.4 has been released, bringing with it many enhancements to game support and improved Linux support too.

Their new blog post also goes over the updates in the previous version 2.2 from October last year, as it turns out they never properly put up a blog on what was new with it. Projects like this are simply awesome. Emulation is key to keeping the history of gaming alive.

What’s new? A lot! But in short to save you a bit of time here’s some cherry-picks:

• Huge fixes to a wide variety of games. Some had black screens or incorrect rendering that have been solved.
• Custom real-time clock settings available per-game.
• HDR texture optimization resulting in some big performance improvements.
• A new automatic fix applied to ~100 games for some upscaling issues.
• Wayland by Default on Linux.
• SDL 3.
• Various other small optimizations and improvements.

See all in their blog post.
