Other notable features are as follow: Savestates - You can press one button to save the current 'State' of your game so if you need to turn it off, you can jump right back to where you were without waiting for the game to load! Unlimited Memory Cards - You can save as many memory cards as you like, you are no longer limited to the single physical cards like you would be on the real machine. What's even better, you can have anything from 8mb to 64mb cards! Higher Definition Graphics - With PCSX2 you have the ability to play your games in 1080p, or even 4K HD if you want to! The graphics plugin GSDX gives you the opportunity to simulate the real experience or make your game look like a Playstation 3 HD re-release!. The only thing you require other than the emulator tool and a game is your Playstation 2 BIOS, which can be extracted from your console.
