Is PCSXR open source or closed source...? I forgot

Open source, it's on Codeplex and there is also Mednafen.

Great did you think about testing PCSXR and see how it works maybe it will help you in your research do you know a good game to test the program...?

As refraction said they already know how PCSXR works as it was originally made by the PCSX team... and he knows how a PSX hardware works the problem is the ps2 does not have PSX hardware therefore it can not be emulated the same way a PSX emulator does.... they must emulate the way the ps2 emulates psx functions which is very hard they have to perfect an emulation of hardware inside an emulation of hardware....

That's not what i said, the entire IOP side of the PS2 that handles the DVD drive, Sound, Network, Memorycards is ALL using Playstation 1 hardware, but the R3000A processor has been hard wired to connect to the EE instead of having a GTE core so all the graphics are rendered on the EE side of the console.
Does trying out PCSXR help with anything or is it useless to think in that direction...? Looking at posts #94 & 95 I do not get it at all...
As I explained in previous posts, PCSX2 contains as much of PCSX as it can use, PCSX-R is just a branch of PCSX, it's not going to help at all.

With lots of debugging and possibly guesswork ;p

OK then here is my guess can you make it so PCSX2 opens PCSX when a PS1 game is loaded kinda like 2 programs in one bundle what I mean is like when I go out and buy both PS1 and PS2 together not just PS2 that emulates PS1. If anything is unclear please tell me so I can clarify OK!?
