Set to Automatic (Default) . This is the star feature of 1.5.0 and fixes broken ground textures in open-world games. 3. Emulation Settings & Speedhacks
One of the most significant under-the-hood changes during the 1.5.0 era was the user interface overhaul. The project transitioned from the aging Windows-only GUI framework to wxWidgets. This change was vital for the future of the emulator, paving the way for better support on Linux and macOS, and creating a more modern, customizable user interface that power users appreciated.
Don't confuse this with a "Stable" release. A verified dev build might have a minor bug in a niche visual novel from 2003. It might crash if you use an obscure controller plugin. This is the star feature of 1
Early implementations of better widescreen hacks and internal resolution scaling.
To get the most out of a 1.5.0 dev build, use these verified settings:
For many, the primary draw of PCSX2 is the ability to play PS2 games in high definition. The 1.5.0 builds introduced refined upscaling implementations. Users gained access to newer shader options and improvements in texture filtering. This reduced the "shimmering" effect often seen when upscaling PS2 games, making titles like Final Fantasy X and Shadow of the Colossus look sharper and more stable than ever before. The project transitioned from the aging Windows-only GUI

Upscaling past native resolution can cause post-processing effects to misalign. To fix this, go to your GSdx Plugin Settings, check , click Configure Hacks , and slightly adjust the Half-Pixel Offset or set TC Offset to x: 500, y: 500. Intermittent Frame Drops (Stuttering)
The 1.5.0 branch introduced MTVU (Multi-Threaded VU) and better GPU command queuing. On a mid-range PC from 2018 or later, you will run 99% of PS2 games at full speed (60/50 FPS) at internal resolution. Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner —famously slow on original hardware—runs like butter.
Emulation Breakthrough: Maximizing Compatibility with the PCSX2 1.5.0 Dev Build
My father-in-law graduated from Fuller Seminary with his Ph.D today.Â? I am very proud of him.
But…
I am much prouder that last night at his hooding ceremony in the CATS program, he wore the cat ears that I sent him as a graduation present.Â? He wore them on stage, during his speech, and for pictures afterwards.Â? Bishop Egertson, his guest, also wore them in pictures and around.
Let’s just say that I am *quite* amused.

Emulation Breakthrough: Maximizing Compatibility with the PCSX2 1.5.0 Dev Build
So we’re getting this stuff in Big Sky Country called r-a-i-n and it’s coming in the form of multiple fast-moving thunderstorms — the kind that are triggered by rapid pressure changes. This means… the lovely wonderful rain that we’re getting is triggering really bad migraines for me which are hitting me in the face and head. The Imitrex and Trimitex (Imitrex with Aleve) will moderate out the migraine so that I don’t have the nausea and dizziness but I still have some pretty acute pain. Add in the lovely jaw pain from the TMJ which is probably also triggered by the weather and you have a pretty potent combination of pain.
Yesterday, I managed to spell the pain a bit. Today was to the point where I was either going to take the pain or I was going to start screaming because it was so awful and that was 7 hours of my 8 hour shift. The last 45 minutes of my shift were spent with me in tears repeating Philippians 4:13 to myself to get myself through. I was crabby and I seriously had to remove myself from my work area a few times to avoid screaming at co-workers.
So why don’t I just go home? Because it’s not like that’s going to do anything for me either. THERE. IS. NOTHING. I. CAN. DO. FOR. THE. PAIN. Seriously. I accidentally took twice the safe dose of Aleve today between the two tablets I took at 10 am for my jaw and the Trimitex I took around 1 for a migraine that came on. I can’t do anything at home that I can’t do at work and at least at work, I get paid to be there.
I have a dentist appointment tomorrow at 8 am (!!!!). Please pray that they can do something for me to at least kill the jaw pain so I only have one part of my head exploding instead of two.

So I did make it down to Church of the Incarnation for worship and Father Tim welcomed me very warmly when I walked in. (His welcome alone made the 2 hour drive worth it.) Worship was awesome and if I had actually been feeling like solid food was a good thing, I could have stayed for the parish potluck. Alas… the migraine wasn’t allowing me to do much eating so I made do with an oatmeal cookie from $tarbuck$.
I also got a Wal-Mart run in (which made me feel like my blood sugar had plummeted — thank God for Lipton Raspberry tea) as well as a few other errands before heading back up.
