*''Latency'': The lower the latency value the smaller audio delay you will have. You can leave this to ''Use smallest possible'' to let the plugin decide what's best for you, or set a custom value below. '''Note''' that setting latency too low WILL cause cracks and pops in sound, so change the values until you find the lowest one that works with your game without causing cracks. | |||

'''Advanced''': Here you can fine tune how your selected time stretcher will work. As described in the GUI, larger values are better if you are not getting good speeds while the opposite is true if you're running your game above full speed. Pressing ''Reset to Defaults'' will set all values here back in their initial setting. | |||

===CDVD=== | ===CDVD=== | ||
In most circumstances, you will be able to use the built in ISO loader in PCSX2 by choosing ISO in the CDVD menu, and then, under ISO Selector, either choosing an image from the list or choosing browse to add one. | |||
<br /> | <br />However, if you want to use a plugin to do things such as playing a game from the actual DVD disc or creating a dump of an ISO file, choose ''Plugin'' in the CDVD menu, and then select a CDVD plugin. | ||
[[image:CDVD Config Dialog - Linux.png]] | <br />By default, PCSX2 includes: | ||
#Linuz Iso CDVD | |||
<br /> | #CDVDnull | ||
' | |||
====Linuz Iso CDVD==== | |||
[[image:CDVD Config Dialog - Linux.png|400px|left|thumb|Linuz Iso CDVD]] | |||
Select Linuz Iso CDVD v0.9.0 and hit configure. | |||
*This plugin has the extra ability of compressing your images to save you disk space apart from running your images for the emulator. | |||
*Click Select Iso to select the game image you want to run/compress. Once you've selected an image you can either close the config window so you can run it or press "Compress Iso" to compress it. If you selected an already compressed image you can also select "Decompress Iso" to decompress it. | |||
*Under Compression Method you can select either ".Z - compress faster", which will compress your image faster but make it larger or ".BZ - compress better", which will compress your image slowly but make it smaller. | |||
*Under Options you can check/uncheck Enable Block Dump=>ISO name.dump. When checked, this option will create a "ISO name".dump file in the PCSX2 root folder(where pcsx2.exe is located) from the game you ran. This file is like a small iso, which is mainly used for debugging. It will store the sectors read during the execution of the game you ran, so afterwards you will be able to load the file(using "select iso" of Linuz Iso CDVD) and run it without any image/cd/dvd. Note that if the game will try to read any other sectors from the ones not included in the dump file, it will obviously stop responding. | |||

====CDVD Null==== | |||
This is a Null plugin just like GSnull, meaning it simply does nothing. | |||
<br />It doesn't have a configuration screen for obvious reasons. | |||
