![]() ![]() Skip the plugin selection part and jump straight to the BIOS selection. Select ” Portable Installation “, and then launch the emulator. A window will show up like the one above you. After you have finished downloading the emulator, launch the setup. Installing PCSX2 is easy and doesn’t require much thinking. Before I close this section, take a look at PCSX2’s CPU-intensive games, and PCSX2’s GPU-intensive games for further information. You could have a blast with i5 6660k paired with GTX 750TI if you are just going to play games like Maximo for instance. For instance, light games may not require all that power to run at a decent speed. Note: These requirements may vary from one game to another. – A processor with more than 4 cores for great performance – A DirectD11 and OpenGL 4.5 capable card ( like GTX 1050TI and above) According to the official PCSX2 website, the recommended settings are as follows: PCSX2 is renowned for being a resource-heavy emulator, but thankfully, your rig can run it if you meet the recommended requirements. You can download these from the official PCSX2 page. Tho, it’s better to have both the Stable and Dev build. Meanwhile, the git revisions introduce new features and fixes to games that suffered from major issues, but these git revisions may sometimes be unstable. The official stable releases come packed with all the features you need for the emulator. The first is that there is a stable release, and the second one is that there are git revisions a ka PCSX2 Development Builds. There are two things to know about PCSX2. What’s The Difference Between PCSX2 Stable Releases and Git Revisions? The other version has everything you need but it will require you to install Visual C++ 2015-2019 x86 Redistributable in order for it to work. The first one is missing the bios files which can easily be obtained online and pasting them into the BIOS files in the PCSX2 folder. Basically, the difference between these two is simple. PCSX2 standalone installer or PCSX2 Windows Binary. One that is official and one that is in development. Hence, why I advise having at least 2 versions of PCSX2. However, it can also introduce several other issues with working games. The current one is called PCSX2 1.6.0, but you can always download previous versions ( not recommended) or stick with the dev build which fixes some minor issues the official version doesn’t do. You can get the one that is compatible with your system. ![]() PCSX2 is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac. By pressing the tab, a new window shows up showing which version you want. You can download PCSX2 from the official website by clicking on ” Download Get PCSX2 here”. Honestly, you have nothing to fear using this emulator. The emulator is still active, and every once in a while a dev build is released for the public to test and report any changes. Just make sure to download it from the official website and not somewhere else no matter how tempting it may sound. Sometimes these features put other remasters to shame, and that’s funny, to be honest. The major advantage of using PCSX2 over the PS2 console is that the emulator is that it allows custom resolution up to 4096×4096, Texture filtering, Anti-Aliasing to look better than the original game. Years after, it was capable of running a slew of games at a decent speed with few minor hiccups here and there. The emulator, unfortunately, couldn’t emulate anything back then. PCSX2 is a free open source PS2 emulator which was initially released back on March 23, 2002. Notice: I try to constantly update each emulator guide to be as accurate, helpful and fun to read as possible. The guide will help you understand how the emulator works, and how you can squeeze every drop of performance from your PC to run the emulator at a playable state. In this guide, we will be talking about how to play PS2 games on your PC. ![]() Some games may work, but others will struggle to run at a decent speed. Note that this emulator will not work properly for those who are using a low-end PC. The emulator which I’m talking about is called PCSX2. This, in particular, pushed die-hard fans to strive hard and bring us an emulator that paved the way to so many who missed a couple of games at the time, or those who are still discovering the console. Nevertheless, after the console was discontinued, it remained inside so many people’s memory. The aforementioned was a revolutionary hit that introduced several new mechanics, improved graphics, and a slew of new genres that are explored to this very day. At the time, the PS2 came out as a surprise that not so many expected it to be consumed by half of the planet. The PlayStation 2 remains the best-selling console of all time and the most appreciated hardware among gamers. ![]()

It also provides an opportunity to add a fully comprehensive streaming platform to older TVs or ones with a limited smart system. For a start, the Streambar will undoubtedly sound better than most TVs, especially cheaper ones with smaller screen sizes. The Roku Streambar is an interesting all-in-one solution that not only delivers the goods in terms of streaming apps and sonic performance, but is also an effective solution to a number of potential limitations in your current TV. Its an affordable, solid soundbar and enables surround expansion for not a lot of money. I was impressed with the Roku wireless surround-sounds ease of setup, and I was pleased with its performance. As you might expect, the Roku Smart Soundbar doesn’t provide much low-end oomph either, but you can. Conversely, the Night Mode compresses the sound, allowing you to binge in the wee small hours without annoying the rest of the household. Pricing: The Roku Streambar is one of the more affordable soundbars on the market. To be clear, though, the soundbar is still a big upgrade over your typical TV speakers. The same can be said of the Volume Level controls, with the Leveling feature proving useful when watching commercial TV channels. ![]() I suspect its lack of width actually helps in this respect, but if you do struggle to hear dialogue, the Low and High Speech Clarity settings might come in useful. The Streambar delivered clear and focused dialogue, despite the lack of an actual centre speaker. To help you get the most from your Roku TV Wireless Soundbar and fine-tune your listening experience, review the Roku TV Wireless Soundbar Quick Start Guide. The Roku Streambar is an attractive option if you want 4K streaming and a good (but not great) speaker to enhance your TV’s audio. An effective method of boosting your TV's audio, adding a streaming platform or filling in gaps in the existing system ![]() ![]() The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attraction. This usually occurs when two atoms have similar or the same electron affinity. Because the Hydrogen atom is weaker, the shared pair of electrons will be pulled closer to the Oxygen atom.Ī Nonpolar Covalent Bond is created when atoms share their electrons equally. The blue and red bow tied in the middle of the rope, pulled by the two creatures represents-the shared pair of electrons-a single bond. The little bunny represents a Hydrogen atom. One example of molecules forming weak bonds with each other as a result of an unbalanced electrostatic potential is hydrogen bonding, where a hydrogen atom will interact with an electronegative hydrogen, fluorine, or oxygen atom from another molecule or chemical group.Īs you can see from the picture above, Oxygen is the big buff creature with the tattoo of "O" on its arm. This potential will make the resulting molecule slightly polar, allowing it to form weak bonds with other polar molecules. As a result of polar covalent bonds, the covalent compound that forms will have an electrostatic potential. A polar covalent bond will result in the molecule having a slightly positive side (the side containing the atom with a lower electronegativity) and a slightly negative side (containing the atom with the higher electronegativity) because the shared electrons will be displaced toward the atom with the higher electronegativity. As a result, the shared electrons will be closer to the atom with the higher electronegativity, making it unequally shared. The atom with the higher electronegativity will have a stronger pull for electrons (Similiar to a Tug-O-War game, whoever is stronger usually wins). This occurs when one atom has a higher electronegativity than the atom it is sharing with. It wants to be like Argon who has a full outer valence shell.Ī Polar Covalent Bond is created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared. Phosphorus needs to gain 3 electrons to fulfill the Octet Rule. Argon has a total of 8 electrons (bolded in red), which satisfies the Octet Rule. Although it is important to remember the "magic number", 8, note that there are many Octet rule exceptions.Įxample: As you can see from the picture below, Phosphorus has only 5 electrons in its outer shell (bolded in red). Each atom wants to become as stable as the noble gases that have their outer valence shell filled because noble gases have a charge of 0. It requires 8 electrons because that is the amount of electrons needed to fill a s- and p- orbital ( electron configuration) also known as a noble gas configuration. ![]() For Covalent bonds, atoms tend to share their electrons with each other to satisfy the Octet Rule. The Octet Rule requires all atoms in a molecule to have 8 valence electrons-either by sharing, losing or gaining electrons-to become stable. Although it is said that atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds, they do not usually share the electrons equally. Nonmetals will readily form covalent bonds with other nonmetals in order to obtain stability, and can form anywhere between one to three covalent bonds with other nonmetals depending on how many valence electrons they posses. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. "El Patron" is Spanish for "The Boss", this translation mostly refers to the owners of establishments or businesses.\)Ĭovalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. ![]() The Item schema is configured to disable the Engineer's "backpack" bodygroup, however, Engineer has no backpack on his model or a bodygroup associated with it neither does the El Patron itself.This happens because the exact same color values are used for both the paint and the item's default "unpainted" color. ![]() Using the Radigan Conagher Brown paint on this item provides absolutely no visual difference in-game.The Color of a Gentlemann's Business Pants Mouseover cells to preview the images on a dark background. ![]() ![]() ![]() Uses every pot in the kitchen and leave them dirty.

I was so caught up in good sex that I ignored his other faults: “Forgets” his wallet when we go out to dinner. One of the reasons I married the loser was that the sex was good. In so many ways, I have been blessed beyond belief too: born during this modern era and relative peace, plentiful food, modern medicine, the right to get educated and speak my mind, and friends who have shown me love and kindness. I try not to mire in self pity because that will do nothing for me today. When thinking about my childhood, I realize that I suffered so much abject abuse and neglect, its no wonder I was vulnerable to so many men, including two husbands, who abused me physically and mentally.38 years of mostly hell. Do not settle for the illusion of financial security. If he is not kind and empathetic towards all, then run away. Then watch all of his actions for a long time. Do not even think of partnering with any man until you are fully self sufficient. You will be free of this torture and extreme loneliness and despair someday. You get to grieve for as long as it takes. Beware anyone, especially men, who love bomb you. Focus on sleeping, eating the best food you can get, pray to a higher power, spend a lot of time with your farm animals and riding your horses, do not drink alcohol or sleep with boys to soothe your pain and terror and loneliness, the days will pass, you will be free of Mom’s abuse - that is all on her, it is not about you in the slightest - you are a perfect human even with your human failings, good people will cross your path, trust people’s actions - if they are scary to you - run away.
