Coder linuzappz from Argentina worked on both PCSX & PCSX2 and co-founded at least the latter one with another team member named Shadow from Greece. Official development ceased on September 17, 2003, and development shifted to the new PlayStation 2 emulator, PCSX2.

The initial base of the current emulator, PCSX, was first released for the PC on August 31, 2000. It has a completely reworked and modernized GTK2/Glade GUI, integrated plugins, an improved system for classic PSEmu plugins, better configuration tools, support for translation, easy installation, and support for AMD64. The old PCSX-df branch is a fork of the PCSX PlayStation emulator designed specifically for GNU/Linux (and probably other similar systems). It was based on PCSX-df 1.9, with, in its early times, support for Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X (at the time) as well as many bugfixes and improvements. PCSX2 is an insanely complex piece of software and the UI side of things is kept as simple as it possibly can.PCSX-Reloaded is a plugin-based PlayStation emulator created in mid-2009. It's not because something doesn't work out of the box that it's bad. Set it up to preference until your stick behaves like you believe it should for the game you're playing.Īlso, everything I just mentioned is explained in great detail on the PCSX2 wiki and the countless tutorials on the official forums. A deadzone of 0.200 means that values lower than 20% of the range of the input will be ignored. Doing that is extremely simple: Under the PAD1 tab, find the binding that corresponds to your device and to the stick you're trying to fix, then increase its deadzone.

If the game you're playing doesn't ignore small stick values and tilting the stick very slightly causes movement you don't intend to make, you need to increase the deadzone. If your stick isn't sending 0.00 when it's perfectly centered, you'll need to calibrate it, preferably using the Windows controller calibration utility. That will show you raw values being sent by your controller for every input. Under the General Tab, you can highlight your device in the bottom left corner and press Test device. 99% of people complaining in /r/PCSX2 still have to be told to download the last version of the emulator before troubleshooting, so you'll excuse me if I don't think very highly of their opinion on software usability. From experience, Lilypad is one of the best I/O plugins out there.
