==Miscellaneous PCSX2 Compiling Options==
As with any project, the PCSX2 project has several configurable options in relation to compiling.
PCSX2 Target Build Directory
One of the options is a configurable post-build event that can optionally copy the .EXE file and required .DLL files into a folder of your choice. The files are copied both as their original filename (e.g., PCSX2.EXE) and also as a revision-tagged filename for easy regression testing (e.g. PCSX2-r1750.EXE) You will need to specify the PCSX2_TARGET_COPY Environment Variable.
To do this, open the Run dialog (Hit the Windows key and R at the same time) and type "sysdm.cpl" (without quotes) and hit enter. You will be presented with a screen similar to the screenshot.
Switch to the Advanced Tab and you will see the something similar to the screenshot.
Click on the Environment Variables button at the bottom and you will see something similar to the screenshot.
Click on New under the User Variables section and enter the information as shown in the screenshot.
Once you have done that and click OK, you should see something like the screenshot.
Now, when you compile PCSX2, a build copy will be placed in the directory you specified! (Make sure it exists!) You will need to log off and log back in for this to take effect!
