===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 It was developed by '''Jake Stine''' (air) and '''gigaherz''' from '''SPU2Ghz''' plugin which is now out of date.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.
