Not really an emulator release but it's probably one of the biggest steps for improving the ps2 emulator.

ZeroGS KOSMOS 0.95 is out! This is the plugin of choice for people using graphics cards supporting Pixel Shader 2.0 or 3.0.

ZeroGS KOSMOS has greatly improved over it's previous release, it is significantly faster, an example would be 'Final Fantasy XII', which is now 3x faster!

Less graphical flaws are present with many games looking absolutely stunning, and even the least capable PS2.0 supporting cards, such as the nVidia 5xxx series will show little to no loss in quality.

ZeroGS KOSMOS also supports the MTGS (Multi Threaded GS) feature of PCSX2, this allows users with Dual Core or Multi CPU machines to get even more speed out of PCSX2, however until the next release of PCSX2, the current MTGS issues will persist.

ZeroGS KOSMOS supports various features, including video recording, Bilinear Filtering, 2 and 4xAA, wireframe mode and more!

Basically, the plugin requires a graphics card that supports pixel shader 2.0, and dual core computer, and still a decent amount of ram (1 gig).

Using the plugin to play FFX, the speeds are now increased to 35-128 FPS.
