Play! (experimental PlayStation2 emulator) is back on the buildbot! 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.
