    Hello Windows XP gaming community. I have what i believe are good news for you, if you are into emulation.

    I'm a developer and i've recently modified the latest version of the popular PCSX2 PlayStation 2 emulator to make it run again under the Windows XP operating system, since they removed that compatibility by 2016. The development to my modified version of PCSX2 started in May 2020, when the latest stable official release was made public (v1.6.0), confirming it wasn't indeed compatible with XP. I wanted to do something about it, so i started peeking the code and considering the options i had. Well, after months of testing and patience, i got the latest v1.6.0 stable release from May 2020 running perfectly fine under XP. This project is called "PCSX2 XP" and is been made available from my website:
    http://neonfloppy.sytes.net/projects/pcsx2-xp/

    and there is also a github repository:
    https://github.com/blueclouds8666/pcsx2_XP

    You may also join to my discord server, where you can find about my other projects and chat with other xp fans:

    I will be answering any questions you have regarding it down below
    I hope you all find this useful.
    Thanks for your attention.

    Tried but I get lots of errors related to plugins, guess they don't support Windows XP.

    the video plugin requires SSE2 CPU instructions, which might not be present on your computer. also, make sure you're on XP SP3 and have the proper C++ 2013 libraries installed.
