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. All plugins are stored (by default) in the ''plugins'' folder of your main PCSX2 folder.
