PCSX2, an open-source emulator for the PlayStation 2, has been released in version 2.8.1.
It arrives shortly after version 2.8.0, the first “immutable” release, as a small bugfix update.
It contains just a single change: a workaround for an Apple GPU hardware bug in the Metal renderer. Linux users are not affected.
