→Multiplayer on PCSX2
==System requirements==
=====Windows XP/7/8.1 Compatibility=====
Lightgun support was available in the PCSX2 emulator via a third-party plugin called nuvee.<ref>https://lightgungamer.com/pcsx2</ref> This is no longer relevant since the removal of the plugin system, now PCSX2 handles lightgun support by itself.
==Online games Multiplayer on PCSX2==* See [[How To Play PCSX2 Online]]* [[Online PS2 gamesPlayStation 2 emulators#Hardware features and accessories]]-> LAN or Network Adapter sections, also you can use LAN tunelling for offline multiplayer play.
