ZeroGS is a DirectX 9 plugin developed by '''ZeroFrog''' and is aimed for graphics cards which support pixel shaders 2.0 or higher. As noted before if your card does not meet that requirement you will get an "Error opening gs plugin" message and PCSX2 will terminate. | ZeroGS is a DirectX 9 plugin developed by '''ZeroFrog''' and is aimed for graphics cards which support pixel shaders 2.0 or higher.

*''Interlace Enable'': When this is checked some interlacing issues will be resolved (screen "shaking") although some games look better with this disabled. You can toggle it while running a game by using the "F5" key. | *''Interlace Enable'': When this is checked some interlacing issues will be resolved (screen "shaking") although some games look better with this disabled.

*''Anti-aliasing'': Here you can choose the level of anti-aliasing you want the plugin to use, to make edges smoother. You can toggle this while running a game by using the "F6" key.

*ZeroGS exposes a couple of extra options to tweak its various settings. Sometimes games use the Graphics Synthesizer in many unexpected ways, and sometimes it is impossible for ZeroGS to predict how exactly it should emulate the GS. Some options can convert a game from a garbage screen going at 2 frames per second to exactly what the game would look like on the ps2 going at 60 frames a second. | *ZeroGS exposes a couple of extra options to tweak its various settings.

*If a particular set of options works very well for a particular game, then these options can saved in the game's patch file so that they are always applied every time the game is loaded. This is useful when you want these options to be enabled only for that particular game and not to affect other games. | *If a particular set of options works very well for a particular game, then these options can saved in the game's patch file so that they are always applied every time the game is loaded.

*Each set of options in ZeroGS has a unique id. To query this id, go into the ZeroGS configuration dialog box, set the particular options, and click on the Compute OR of IDS button. Take the number generated and open the game's corresponding pnach file (usually the game's CRC.pnach). Then add in a new line zerogs=xxxxxxxx where the x's are the id. | *Each set of options in ZeroGS has a unique id.

As explained at the start of this section this is a Null plugin thus it will not render anything on screen. Press Configure to get a menu with a checkbox where you can check/uncheck "Enable Logging" which will enable/disable GS logging. It should be used for debugging and developers. | As explained at the start of this section this is a Null plugin thus it will not render anything on screen.
