spectabis-next

Spectabis is a free and open-source graphical frontend for PCSX2. Its purpose is to add additional features which make using the PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator easier and faster. This allows you to use PCSX2 with per-game configuration and many additional features and benefits. This source code is available to everyone under the standard MIT license.

Currently usable and a little useful yet.

Please Note: If you're building the desktop client from source, you will not be able to connect to the service and online functionality will not work. You can host the service locally though.

Games are not included and must be copied from physical media you own
