PCSX2's Hardware Renderer has gained support for AA1!
AA1 is the PS2's name for antialiasing, which works by adding partially transparent pixels to the edges of lines and triangles to give a softer edge.
AA1 was originally been implemented in SW renderer for a while (this just adds it to HW).
It is implemented by using the vertex shader to generate new polygons for the edge pixels of lines/triangles.
Do note that enabling AA1 may significantly increase system requirements!
Did you know? PCSX2 has a built-in feature to create game shortcuts! It lets you generate shortcuts directly from the app; no manual setup required. Plus, a recent update now lets you add the game icon as well.
These QoL improvements should help with organizing your game library to your heart's content, the sky is the limit!
In Case You Didn't Know: RetroAchievements is a community-run service that adds achievements to classic games that never had them in the first place. Now you can relive your childhood memory while still keeping the competitive spirit!

Do keep in mind that GPU supports are still needed for these HW Encoders (AMD AMF, NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QuickSync).
Please make sure that your GPU hardware supports the video codec you want to use, otherwise you will have to fallback to CPU Encoding, which is slower than HW Encoding.
New in PCSX2 v2.7.207: Windows users no longer need to hunt for ffmpeg DLLs anymore to use our built-in video capture feature!
The Codec list has also been simplified to help reduce choice paralysis!
The choice now comes down to H264, H265 and AV1.
