⚙️ PCSX2 Settings
- Graphics → Renderer: Select Vulkan (best) or Direct3D 12/11 if Vulkan fails.

- Widescreen Patches: Settings → Patches → enable Widescreen if available (not all games support it).
- Speedhacks: Settings → Emulation → EE Cycle Rate: -1 or -2 if games run slowly on weak hardware.

🖥️ Hardware Requirements — PCSX2 Qt (modern build)

| RAM | 2 GB | 4 GB DDR4 |
| GPU | Intel HD 4000 / any GPU with OpenGL 3.0 / DX10 | GTX 1060 / RX 580 (Vulkan) — for 3x–4x upscaling |
| Storage | HDD | SSD — faster CHD decode on first game load |
| OS | Windows 8.1 64-bit / Ubuntu 18.04 | Windows 10/11 64-bit / Ubuntu 22.04+ |
| 🤖 Android (AetherSX2 / NetherSX2) | ||
