I'm gonna wait for them to iron it out then, don't want to get a bug that fucks everything up. Thanks for the head's up anon

By the way other than the actual ps2 homebrew stuff what other tools do you guys use? I ask this because to this day if you just google it every pajeet under the sun will continuously recommend WinHiip to manage your HDD games but I was lucky to catch some guy mentioning HDL Batch Installer in a burried reply and it's so much better that it's not even funny.

The shaders are cool and what initially got me to try it out way back in 2013, when it still used the same shaders as bsnes and only had a handful of cores, but what got me to stick with it was how smooth it handled audio/video sync. On a lot of emulators of the time, you either had to sync through video and suffer audio crackling/popping, or sync through audio and suffer screen tearing, and even then sometimes the frame pacing was fucked and scrolling wasn't smooth. There was also a tendency for audio latency to be relatively high, which was also annoying. RetroArch was engineered to smooth all of this out as seamlessly as possible, so you could have smooth scrolling with perfect frame pacing without tearing OR audio popping thanks to Dynamic Rate Control, and I was able to get lower audio latency with it than with most standalones as well. Many standalones have gotten better about all this since then, but some of them still fail at it and it's annoying when I encounter these things, whereas RetroArch has never failed me in this respect. And of course, there's all the options to reduce input lag as much as possible, which made emulating even smoother still. So while I do keep standalones on hand for various purposes, and I think there's some things RetroArch could really improve upon (simplify the UI for one, the options and settings are often all over the place and buried within nested menu hell, and its 6th-gen core support is hopeless), it's still my go-to because, when it comes to getting the smoothest, lowest-latency gameplay, it has always delivered for me.
