This section includes a complete collection of the most commonly
used PCSX2 compatible plugins available for Playstation
2 emulators. These plugins are regularly updated and are the most
recent versions available. Please be sure to only use plugins
that are compatible with your hardware, using incompatible plugins
can cause undesired results.
This is one of the most frequently changed plugins in just about
all emulators. Only one out of the three Playstation 2 emulators available on VT Emulation require a video plugin to be downloaded separately. Due to how new Playstation 2 emulation is, the video plugin can have a major impact on compatibility.

CD-ROM plugins allow your emulator to perform two functions;
to interface with a CD-ROM drive in your computer and to emulate
the Playstation 2 CD-ROM during this process. Generally, it's
recommended that you convert any games you wish to play to ISOs
and run them from your hard drive to avoid unnecessary lag times
and to avoid CD-ROM complications. Even if you are only loading
ISOs, you'll still need a CD-ROM plugin in most emulators.
