PCSX2 SVN r3008 is released. PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.

PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r3003
There was a slight threading affinity issue with r3000, so we have to revert it :p
r3004
* Added Refresh button to the bios selector.
* Added some brevity info to the Bios Selector screen during first time wizard.
* NSIS: Added IsUserAdmin script; not used quite yet (see diff comments)
r3005
Add "setSettingsDir" export definitions to a few plugins that were missing them.
Fixes an issue where they could not access their config files in restrained PCSX2 installs.
Fixes issue 686.
r3006
Same fix for cdvdGigaherz as the last rev + workaround for ZeroGS so it also works in default Vista/Win7 installs.
r3007
Patches are now part of the game database.
They can be CRC specific, or just based on the game serial.

Examples:
[patches]
// This patch is loaded regardless of crc
patch=0,EE,002aa040,word,24020001
[/patches]

[patches = 84993903]
// Patches go here
// This is only loaded if crc = 84993903
patch=0,EE,002bc040,word,24020341
[/patches]


notes:
- pcsx2 only loads the first [patches] block that matches the game.
- The [patches] block based on crc takes priority when pcsx2 searches for patches...
- Everything in-between the patches block gets fed to pcsx2's old patch parser; so currently the patch syntax is the same as before...
- A lot of patches weren't added to the database since they didn't include serial codes in their *.pnach files :/
r3008
Bye-Bye patches folder ;p
