The Playstation 2 Emulator
Funding Links: https://github.com/sponsors/PCSX2
Thank you for considering sponsoring our project!
We are the Playstation 2 emulator project PCSX2, available on Windows, Linux and Mac, and we have decided to set up Github Sponsors as way for you to donate to project to help us out and give thanks for our work over the years and everything to come!
What we're doing at the project:
We are currently bringing PCSX2 kicking and screaming in to the 2020's with a new Qt interface with game lists, per game settings and loads of other great stuff! We are never done though, emulation has improvements to be made, however things are getting harder requiring better and better tech and more PS2 tests to work out bizarre behaviours!
What are the funds going to be used for?
By funding the project you will be mainly helping pay our server costs, since advertisement on the website is not really feasible any more due to the fact it's difficult to fit ads in without destroying our great website look, and we don't want to do that.
Additionally new versions will have an auto updater, and so less people will have reason to visit our website.
These two things mean that we need alternative funding methods to help fund everything. Any additional money will be split between the developers for their hard work and go towards helping them financially or funding game purchases for debugging.
Why did we decide to start Github Sponsors?
Aside from the previously mentioned server costs, we get a lot of people asking us how they can donate and we didn't have any way to do so, and this seemed like a great opportunity to give you great people a way to donate to the project :)
Thank you very much for your time, I hope we will see you over on our discord!
Regards
PCSX2 Team
