{{Clear new paragraph}}PCSX2 1.6.0 is a plugin-oriented program. Your ''pcsx2.exe'' is the main processor that can emulate the real PS2 on the PC but it does not work alone. It needs a graphics plugin to display the game graphics and a sound plugin to play the game sounds and music, and it also needs a pad plugin to allow you to play using your keyboard, mouse or gamepad. Moreover there may be more than one plugin of each type so you can choose the one which is better suited for a particular game. All plugins are stored (by default) in the ''plugins'' folder of your main PCSX2 folder. Some plugins like ''GSdx'' for example can be updated quite often so you may want update only a chosen plugin from time to time. In order to do it you'll need to download the updated version and extract it by using the archiver into your plugins folder. Selecting your new plugin and changing its configuration may also be required.
