If the log warns you one or several times about being out of memory or the emulator crashes without warning several times in a row after playing for around the same amount of time you will need to apply a patch to make the executable large address aware, its more commonly referred to as the [http://www.ntcore.com/files/4gb_patch.zip 4GB patch].

The stable builds for Mac and Linux are severely outdated, less so for Windows. Either way, it's still recommended to use the dev builds, unless the latest one is actually broken (which it usually isn't).

===Automatic game fixes===
Whenever you encounter any kind of bug that isn't graphical in nature, objects going through other objects, untargetable objects that should be targetable or A.I. freezing, for example, make sure that the automatic game fixes option from the system menu is activated.
Crashes could be the results of several things.
Switching between hardware and software rendering rapidly is likely to cause the emulator to lock up. This can be easily avoided by waiting a few seconds after switching between hardware and software rendering before switching again.
If your GPU drivers also crash simultaneously (or you get massive graphical corruption on your desktop and/or a BSOD while trying to run a game) this means you're either using outdated drivers or you're trying to use an AMD card with the OGL renderer and Blending Accuracy set to none, in which case either set it to basic or higher or use the DX11 renderer instead.
If the log warns you about TLB miss you are either:
* Trying to play a game that isn't supported by the emulator, in which case you cannot do anything except trying another version of the game (PAL or NTSC-J for example).
* Trying to play a game with a massive or in some cases any EE overclock applied, in which case turn it back down the speedhack menu.
* Try You need to configure modo clamping check the Wiki to Completo, see if the game requires any specific settings regarding the Clamping Mode of the EE/VU.* Cheats used in the emulator settingsgame's .pnach file are invalid.
If PCSX2 still crashes after doing all of the above, check that you aren't using any speed-hacks and that your system is stable and not overheating especially if you are overclocking.
