Editing PS2 Emulation

==Description==

Emulation of Playstation 2 is currently handled by 3 kind of emulators. CECH-A/B models use ps2_emu.self able to use built-in PS2 hardware (EE/GS/Rambus memory), and have best compatibility. CECH-C/E use ps2_gxemu, this emulator use physical Graphic Synthesizer found in this ps3 model, but Emotion Engine is fully emulated here, also there is no Rambus memory. All other models emulate PS2 thru fully software based ps2_netemu used for ps2 classics, and hacked now to use decrypted ISO files. Earlier before Sony provided ps2 classics on PS Store there was another soft only emulator strongly based on ps2_gxemu. It was called ps2_softemu, and had support for original PS2 CDVD. Only emulator not able to run physical discs is ps2_netemu.  

Note:  

* not available in early Tool/DECR and Debug/DEX firmwares. But available in AV TOOL firmware since 1.00

* Emulation is based on a SCPH-50000/SCPH-20401 Playstation 2 Model.

* Loads an epilepsy warning before PS2 logo (PS button menu appears during epilepsy warning if controller is synced)

* Does not support online functionality of PS2 titles (network configuration utility inside Full Spectrum Warrior claims no network adaptor has been found, same with Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain).

- Only file that is needed in the folder for PS2 Classics is "iso.bin.enc". Removing the manuals/DXT files will cause the game to boot IMMEDIATELY to the PS2 logo upon switching to 720p/starting PS2 LPAR.

(in this example GTA San Andreas Classic)
