Despite Windows XP and Direct3D9 support was dropped after stable release [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/releases/v1.4.0 1.4.0]. Windows 7 , Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1 '''NOT''' being officially supported, and 32-bit support was dropped after stable release [https://i.imgurgithub.com/BsFBw1wPCSX2/pcsx2/releases/v1.6.png 0 1.7-dev 6.0]. Despite these are not being officially supported, you can use supported newer builds (up compared to version those stable builds. For example: PCSX2 v1.7.3581) of PCSX2 can work with a few workarounds]. You, you'll need:

See [[Computer_specifications#PCSX2]].
=====Windows XP/7/8.1 Compatibilitywith obsolete hardware and OSes=====
* [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/releases/tag/v1.7.3581 <abbr title="Latest compatible build with Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 workaround.">1.7.3581-wxWidgets build</abbr>]
* [https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases dxvk] '''OR''' [https://reshade.me/ reshade]
You'll also need to select [https://i.imgur.com/flxI0GH.png Cubeb] as the audio renderer. Otherwise, it'll crash with XAudio. And lastly, always pick between Vulkan, OpenGL and Software. D3D11/D3D12 can crash occasionally, and it won't function as intended anyways. '''Don't expect any official support if you post logs showing you're using Windows XP, 7, 8, or 8.1.'''
*[https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-My-new-fork-of-PCSX2-makes-1-6-0-compatible-with-Windows-XP For Windows XP, use this build. You don't need workaround for this build.] Note that this build does not include the Direct3D9 renderer (or any DirectX rendering). If you want to use the old D3D9 renderer, you will need to use the official build 1.4.0 which is the last to officially support Windows XP. *Latest wxWidgets build (but its not compatible with Win7, 8 and 8.1 workaround because of fast memory implementation): [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/releases/tag/v1.7.3771 v1.7.3771].*Latest 32-bit supported build: [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/releases/tag/v1.7.2484 v1.7.2484]*Latest SSE2 supported build: [https://github.com/PCSX2/archive/releases/v1.7.2002 v1.7.2002]*Get older builds (including 1.5-dev builds) from [https://github.com/PCSX2/archive/releases here].
