Windows 10: You can't download any standalone packages of DirectX. Microsoft provides updates for DirectX through Windows Update. Thus, you won't even need to update DirectX when you install a new game. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click Check for updates to see if you can update DirectX.
PCSX2 1.6.0 is a plugin-oriented program. Your pcsx2.exe is the main processor that can emulate the real PS2 on the PC, but it does not work alone. It needs a graphics plugin to display the game graphics and a sound plugin to play the game sounds and music, and it also needs a pad plugin to allow you to play using your keyboard, mouse or gamepad. All plugins are stored (by default) in the plugins folder of your main PCSX2 folder.
Pcsx2 You Need To Update Some Directx Libraries
Open downloaded zip file and extract PCSX2Fx_Settings.txt and shader.fx files in the same directory pcsx2.exe is located. You can change some shaders' settings by editing the PCSX2Fx_Settings.txt (the file contains all the needed instructions). External shaders should be used with caution because some of them may potentially have an enormous impact on speed. Note that you can use external shaders even with GSdx software renderer, which is the best way to get higher visual quality in this rendering mode.
Software Mode SettingsThis set of options will work only if you have selected Software Renderer. You can tune some settings for extra performance or video quality here. The options will not get grayed out even when you select hardware renderer so that you are able to configure both hardware and software mode. Some games may require switching between these modes (F9) so you might need to prepare everything beforehand.
In order to compile PCSX2 you will need to configure a working build environment based on Microsoft's Visual Studio. There are some things to download, so I've placed links to them at the front of the guide so you can get everything you'll need at the first step.
There was pretty much only ongoing work for USBqemu-wheel by jackun and CLR-DEV9 by TheLastRar, not only that the core team had better replacements over time and the last plugin creators also became de facto more a core contributor and residing in the discord group. While we do lose some other notable plugins that are highly requested like Nuvee for LightGuns, OnePad legacy which handled controller remapping but these are only temporary drawbacks as the pros outweigh the cons as you don't need to scour our website or GitHub for plugins and fewer clicks in the GUI.
For the observant people if you have looked at our compatibility rating you may have noticed that we had 0 games for several months until we detected that the Chinese entries and BIOS were different in code and very few exist in our proximity. Now we are up to 2 entries (actually 1 but the forum compatibility needs an update).
The easiest way is using jstest-gtk from jstest-gtk-gitAUR. Select the joystick you want to edit, click the Properties button. On this new window, click the Calibration button (do not click Start Calibration after that). You can then set the CenterMin and CenterMax values, which control the center deadzone, and RangeMin and RangeMax, which control the end of throw deadzones. Note that the calibration settings are applied when the application opens the device, so you need to restart your game or test application to see updated calibration settings.
If the controller performs poorly (low polling rate) after being paired, you will need to update the controller's firmware in Windows using the "Xbox Accessories" app from the Microsoft Store. Theoretically this should be possible with USB passthrough to a Windows virtual machine, but you may need to dual boot to an actual (baremetal) Windows installation for the Xbox Accessories application to see the controller and do the firmware update.
