* '''Enable IOP x2 Cycle Rate''' -- is altering the cycle rate of IOP (I/O Processor) while leaving the others at the same rate. It works just like '''EmotionEngine (EE) Sync Hacks''' but for IOP processor. It's not a huge speed up but the compatibiliy is fairly high. | * '''Enable IOP x2 Cycle Rate''' -- is altering the cycle rate of IOP (I/O Processor) while leaving the others at the same rate.

* '''Idle Loop Fast-Forward''' -- Tries to skips known idle loops in IOP (?) for some games have those idle loops (like '''INTC Sync Hack''' for EE). It has no known compatibility problems. | * '''Idle Loop Fast-Forward''' -- Tries to skips known idle loops in IOP (?) for some games have those idle loops (like '''INTC Sync Hack''' for EE).

* '''Min / Max Hack (microVU only)''' -- It's recommended to switch it OFF. There are some graphical issues in some games (like Naruto) and the speed increase is mostly unnoticeable. | |||
* '''VU Cycle Stealing''' -- This hack is one of the most useful hacks available. It works for some games and may not work for the others but when it works it can really make a difference speeding up by 20-30 fps. Cycle stealing is a sync hack for VU processors virtually skipping frames like '''Skip Frames''' options in CPU dialog does, but this time another method is used. The further you move the slider the more 'frames' will skip the PCSX2 so VU will get more desynchronized with the other processors. It may not work for a certain game and the two last positions of the slider (4 and 5) may break many games GFX and the FPS counter may also show the wrong numbers (the game runs very slow but the FPS counter will show 60 or 50 fps). It's maybe a good idea to start with the third position of a slider and then turn this hack off (the leftmost slider position) if your game does not like it or try to move the slider further otherwise. | |||
* '''ESC Hack - Use Esc key to fully exit PCSX2''' -- This box configures PCSX2 to be a ''boss-ready'' system. So a single ESC push will close it immediately without any confirmation. | |||
