Here's a nifty little plugin manager I put together. It has to be run from the PS2 directory. It saves selected plugins and configurations of the plugins that save their settings in the inis directory (ZeroGS, the two EFP plugins, most of the null plugins, and PadWinKey all use the inis directory. Not sure if any others do).
To use it, just stick it in your Pcsx2 directory and launch it (Note that it won't run happily from any other directory, at the moment). When you launch it, it stuffs the current settings into the (backup) configuration, and all changes you make (Choices of plgins and individual plugin settings, for those that use inis) are applied only to the current configuration. Save just copies the current configuration over the selected configuration, and load overwrites the current configuration with a saved one. It also backs up any other Pcsx2 settings that you can't access in the GUI. Older plugins are listed, but it's noted that they are out of date. Plugins with an * before them likely use the ini directory (This is learned from comparing ini file names to dll file names, so just because something doesn't have an asterisk doesn't mean it won't save its ini settings). You can configure other plugins, but it won't properly save their settings.
The configuration names are used as directory names, so you get an error message when you try using certain characters.
I don't think that Pcsx2 can be launched directly from the command line, so you have to choose to run a CD after launching. By default, it minimizes while Pcsx2 is running and restores itself when it has crashed...err...is no longer running. :)
I'd really like to make it recognize DVDs, suggest save as names from the associated patch file, and automatically load settings (Or at least highlight a likely choice) when it recognizes a DVD, but that seems too much effort just to add nifty, but not all that useful, features.
