Sorry, but is this newer or older than r.1888? The Gsdx is whats throwing me off.

1888 is the latest supported version. But it is beta, so if you have any problems with it you should try the 0.9.6 version since it is the latest stable release (but it is much, much older!)

There is a good time does not come out a new beta build of PCSX2, there are other more recent versions, there officers, who until now had a better performance, but is not allowed to post links here...

You are NOT allowed to post links to precompiled versions of the emulator. It's against the forum rules.

This is because if someone comes to the forum and complains about a problem, there is a good possibility that it's either something that the compiler changed/broke or it could be something that was changed/broken in SVN and therefore giving false broken reports.

This should be pretty obvious anyways... if the development team wanted up to the minute SVNs available to everyone, they are well within their power and ability to do so.
