===Graphics plugins===
===Graphics plugins===
It's easy to choose the graphics plugin depending on your operating system. For Windows it will undoubtedly be [[GSdx]]. You can also play with ZeroGS but the visuals will suffer (though some exceptions may still exist). For Linux it maybe ZeroGS (which hasn't been updated as of late) or its fork ZZogl (which is updated periodically).

'''GSMax''', '''GSSoft''', '''GSSoftDX''', '''GStaris''' are discontinued relics from the past (2002-2003 years). None of these plugins can work with the current PCSX2 and they wouldn't show much even if they could. But one way or the other all the new graphics plugins for PCSX2 are based on these old ones.

* '''[[SPU2-X]]''' -- One of the most compatibles plugins as of now. It works only in Windows. A good synchronization with video is a strong feature of this plugin. It was developed by '''Jake Stine''' (air) and '''gigaherz''' from '''SPU2Ghz''' plugin which is now out of date. One of the best choices when you're using Windows.

===Keyboard shortcuts===
===Keyboard shortcuts===
* '''F1''' -- Saves state into the current slot
Please go to [[Hotkeys|this article]] for information on keyboard shortcuts used in PCSX2, along with the information on how to change them.
* '''F3''' -- Loads state from the current slot
* '''Shift+F3''' -- Loads state from the backup slot
* '''F2''' -- Cycles to the next save slot
* '''Shift+F2''' -- Cycles to the previous slot
 
* '''Shift+F4''' -- Frameskip toggle
* '''TAB''' -- Turbo toggle
* '''Shift+TAB''' -- Slow motion toggle
* '''F4''' -- Framelimiter toggle
 
* '''Alt+ENTER''' -- Fullscreen toggle
 
* '''ESC''' -- Pauses the emulation
 
* '''F8''' (also '''Shift+F8''' & '''Ctrl+Shift+F8''') -- Takes a snapshot of the image inside the GS window
 
* '''F9''' -- Hardware/software rendering toggle
 
* '''F10''' -- Toggles the logging
* '''F11''' -- Freezes the GS
* '''F12''' -- Toggles video recording
 
* '''F6''' -- Toggles the GS window's aspect ratios (stretch, 4:3, 16: 9)
 
* '''Ctrl+KP_ADD''' -- Zooms into the GS window
* '''Ctrl+KP_SUBTRACT''' -- Zoom out of the GS window
* '''Ctrl+KP_MULTIPLY''' -- Resets the zoom on the GS window
 
These shortcuts change the vertical zoom of the image, thus stretching/squishing it:
* '''Alt+Ctrl+KP_ADD''' -- Stretches the image
* '''Alt+Ctrl+KP_SUBTRACT''' -- Squishes the image
* '''Alt+Ctrl+KP_MULTIPLY''' -- Resets the image
 
These shortcuts move the whole image inside the GS window:
* '''Alt+Ctrl+UP''' -- Moves the image up
* '''Alt+Ctrl+DOWN''' -- Moves the image down
* '''Alt+Ctrl+LEFT''' -- Moves the image left
* '''Alt+Ctrl+RIGHT''' -- Moves the image right
* '''Alt+Ctrl+KP_DIVIDE''' -- Re-centers the image
 
====[[GSdx]]-specific keyboard toggles====
* '''F5'''      -- Deinterlace modes
* '''F7'''      -- Internal "TV-like" shaders (AKA Pixel-noise modes)
* '''INSERT'''  -- Software mipmapping
* '''HOME'''    -- FX shader
* '''PAGE_UP''' -- FXAA (HW and SW)
* '''DELETE'''  -- Software anti-aliasing (AA1)
