Today we focus our spotlight on the PCSX2 developer linuzappz. It has been over two years since the last time we interviewed linuzappz who at the time was our first spotlight here at EmuFanatics. Over the past two years a lot has changes with PCSX2 and it's development has grown leaps and bounds. linuzappz is a wondeful developer who has done a lot for PCSX2 and I personally looking forward to seeing how much it has developed over the next two years.
