Well it's not exactly a real file extension I also thought it would be simpler for people who are not familiar with file extensions

Well, wikipedia states "A filename extension is a suffix (separated from the basefilename by a dot) to the name of a computer file applied to indicate the encoding (file format) of its contents or usage" Since its usage is for PCSX2, I'd call it real
But then again, I forgot about the people who don't set their Windows preferences to show file extensions... I guess that's understandable

I am not sure but

Official English Guide Wrote:Software mode Subsection:

Only available if a Software Renderer has been selected above. Here you will find options to tweak how many threads the render will use and turn on/off the software AA.

I guess it should have been renderer.

Quote:Plugin/BIOS selector: Will open the Plugin/BIOS selector screen where you can change plugins, BIOS used and folders which we described at the start of this guide,

the punctuation at the end of the sentence would be period

The guide says "known to help" but the GUI source code at line 71 says

Which one is correct?

http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Official-...ide-v1-0-0 Wrote:Extra Rendering threads: This box is only usable when having selected a software rendering method. Here you can specify how many threads GSdx will use while software rendering, to take advantage of all cores your processor might have, e.g. set it to 3 for quad core processors. Boosts speed significantly in multi-core systems for software rendering with more than 2 cores.

It ought to be "set it to 2 for quad core processors"

The default value of "Extra rendering threads" is 0, I believe it's for taking care of dual-core CPU, so set it to 1 for triple-core CPU, set it to 2 for quad-core CPU.

no 1 = 1 core ( thread ) used

2 = 2 threads used etc...

because the GS was using a core and it will continue to do so there is no 0 right ?

I use 3 on a quad, and it works fine

apart from intrinsic one thread of gsdx from hardware rendering or software rendering,
i.e. at least one thread for gsdx software renderering, ensure dual-core cpu can use gsdx software mode.
for cpu multi-core greater than dual-core, it's bonus to supply "Extra rendering threads"

Anyway I shall set "Extra rendering threads" to 2 then 3 to see which value produces better FPS.
even 3 is not appropriate it won't crash pcsx2 but less FPS instead.
unfortunately I don't own quad-core to test it until I buy a Haswell cpu...
