Hey, everyone. We're excited to finally announce a tentative release date for PCSX2 2.4.0: four days from now on June 6th. Accompanying it will a full-length blog post covering what's new in 2.2.0 and 2.4.0! But before that, we're doing everything in our power to find and squash as many bugs as possible, and we can't do it without all of your help! If you're interested, please come join this final push on our GitHub or in our Discord. #emulation #retrogaming
