3rd core support is just for the VU1 unit

This new version looks so different. I've forgotten everything about pcsx2.

Man, I don't think I'll even be able to run this at a decent speed, but I'm still super excited for these guys though! Any change speed wise that anyone can notice??

3rd core support is just for the VU1 unit. But still it did come a long way, congrats to the team, both current ones and the ones that retired.

hmm, i wonder how it would fair on dual core with hyperthreading CPUs (like my i3 2100)...on to the test!! >

I remember you did test the extra core options and even on yours it proved more useful then on an AMD processor.

well its still not really full speed on some games as i have to enable a speedhack (vu cycle stealing lvl1) to skip some frames on heavy load situations.

After many long years of development, debugging and testing effort, we have reached a point where PCSX2 runs a great majority of the games, and there are no important issues that could possibly be fixed without requiring major modifications to the emulator.
Because of that (and because we already felt it was overdue), we decided to stop thinking of new things to do for a bit, polish the stability, compatibility and existing features and release the result as the first major version of PCSX2!
There have been tons of changes since the last release, including improvements to Jake Stine's wxWidgets GUI overhaul, cottonvibe's new multithreaded VU core and improvements on the primary plugins.
This release is a big milestone that marks the way to new features and improvements!
