Hi! I recently installed the emulator on my PC. No matter which GS plugin I try to to use, it always tells me I need SHADING SUPPORT 2.0 and only 0.0 is available.... Do I really need to buy a new graphics card for the emulator to work, or is there some other setting I am missing here? Thanks!

If the emulator is saying that you don't have pixel shader 2.0 then yes, you do need a new graphics card. PCSX2 requires pixel shader 2.0 in order to run.

Well, what game are you trying to play?
Your computer is not the best anymore, and that graphic card won't help with anything.
What you can try is settings GSdx to software rendering.
(Config > Graphics > under "renderer" select Direct3D9 Software).

i think that you have not installed DIRECT X 10 or 9.0C Therefore the emulator shows 0.0 in pixel shader. and use GSDX SSE2 Graphic plugin.
set internal d3d resolution to 512 X 512 first try 384 X 384. and run game if your window shows an error like THE PROGRAM IS ENCOUNTED PROBLEM SEND REPORT OR DON'T SEND... Then change resolution 512 x 512 from 384 x 384.
and donot forget to install direct x.
all speed hacks enable @ 3x cycle and 2x synthack

and in CONFIGURATION SETTINGS turn the SOUND OFF by clicking on configuration button given below the sound plugin name with TEST button. and also from game options it will increase 2-4 fps
