A new and better PlayStation 2 emulator

[TkSilver]

How is PS2 emulation dying? If anything the mix of processors able to run PS2 emulation at good speeds (passmark cpu single threaded 1600 or higher) is only increasing with ryzen and the Kaby Lake Pentiums bringing the performance needed to a lower price point. Or are you talking about the last "stable" release being from a year ago? If so check out the Git releases which are updated every day to every week depending.

If you are talking about lack of enhancement options like texture replacements and such well that has more to do with a combination of PCSX2 going for accuracy and the PS2 itself not really being well suited to some of the enhancements. (heck if you increase internal resolution you can tell that some PS2 games are stitched together along seams that break under higher resolutions then the original was capable of)
