PCSX2, the PlayStation 2 emulator, has released version 2.9.39 today. This update introduces support for its Direct3D 12 (DX12) graphics backend on Intel Haswell and Broadwell integrated GPUs. Previously, users with these older Intel processors might have been limited in their choice of graphics renderers within the emulator. With this change, PCSX2 version 2.9.39 now allows "GS/DX12: Enable dx12 support on haswell/broadwell if supported," as noted in the release. This means that if the underlying operating system and display drivers provide the necessary Direct3D 12 capabilities, users running PCSX2 on fourth or fifth-generation Intel Core processors can now utilize the DX12 renderer for game emulation.
