[edit] Original Version
The original creator of PGen stopped work on the project and released the source code to the public in September of 2004. This version includes all the files necessary to make a CD that would run on a PS2, and all it required was to burn those files.
[edit] Community Versions
Since then a few members of the gaming community have taken the source and improved its functionality. Version 1.4 the emulator allows booting and loading roms from either a USB Stick or the HDD.
The latest known community version is 1.5.1, released in march 2007 by Bruno "bootsector" Freitas. This version fix the CPU68K ABCD instruction bug.
