🔄 Changes in 2.0.8.4

• 🔁 Synced with PCSX2 upstream as of July 12, 2025
• 🖼️ Fixed Texture Dumping on UWP (corrupted or missing dumps should now work correctly)
• 🎧 Fixed SDL Input and Audio issues
• 🧱 Rebuilt the rewrite branch by layering UWP changes on top of the latest PCSX2 master branch
• 🧩 Refactored the solution/project structure to better match upstream PCSX2
• The Enable CDVD Precaching option is back but I will mention that it can cause issues with the RAM limit so I added a precaution to the setting.
• Fixed logo being so small and added new splash screen

Glad to see a new update! Btw if anyone else is trying to access game properties from the game list, just keep the X button held down and you'll be able to navigate the menu.

[odiedodieuk]

yes that does work! This is my fist time with this emulator (amazing work btw). I assume it can get fixed?

I have a couple other issues (are they just me)

1. The menus for the emulator don’t let me navigate them with my analogue stick. Is that normal? Dpad is fine.

2. In other videos I’ve seen all the button prompts at the bottom of the screen have the Xbox button symbols eg Y but mine still has the ps2 button symbols eg triangle.

Because those are videos on older versions this is the standard now they are going to stay how they are like PCSX2

Ok thx. What about the analogue sticks. Is that a bug that they don’t work?

[SternXD]

That part I’m not sure I’d have to see

I cannot replicate this

Where can I place the isos if I don't have an external drive?

[odiedodieuk]

Get an external
Drive. Even a slow one is better than none.

[SternXD]

You can increase your storage and put them in your D:\DevelopmentFiles drive

Yeah I know but right now I'm using a very slow 32gb USB while I save up for an ssd

Nice update. Just in case y'all want the pause menu when playing a game just go to setting and go to Hotkey Setting and that's where you see Open Pause Menu

In case anyone is havving issues and your work is amazing btw creator of this app but the version that is really functionally in most all of the games is the 2.0.8.0 this versions makes crash and some games and when you enter in the app just restores all the toggle buttons and options to default in some cases and the fps of the games are really low compared to the previous versions if anyone is having problems just use the old version 2.0.8.0 i really hope you dont delete this comment bc i dont wanna say that your work is bad i just want to help other people that have other problems like mine.
