Playstation 2 emulator set up tutorial for the PC

PCSX 2 set up tutorial

 

 For those who don't know, there is a emulator which allows any better pc to emulate any ps2 game. After working with this emulator for some time now, I am going to make a tutorial how you all can set up the emulator to enjoy many games that were ps2 exclusive.

Your first step would be to download the main file here:

 http://pcsx2.net/download.html (I will base this tutorial for the windows edition)

  

download the standalone installer

Step two:

install it (there really shouldn't be any issues in this part)

now open your emulator
the emulator will need some configuration here!

Now at the bios selection you will have to select a bios file. The files should look like my files below and put in the pcsx2 documents directory.▼

 ←here is what you have to pay attention to:

the only plugin you should check out is the first one.
Be sure to change the selection that fits your computers hardware. If your computer is older then select the SSE2 plugin, or the SSE41 for a newer computer. Check google for more precise information about this matter.

 ←Config>emulation settings should look like this (change it later if you experience lag)

your next step is to organize yourself a memory card file. The Pcsx2 development team does not tolerate pirating. But lets be honest, you can find those files on the Internet. Just use google

Now you almost done!

Now go config>video(gs)>plugin setting and choose the renderer to your computers hardware capabilities direct x9 or x10 ( I think you have to choose the hardware

 Now go config>contoller>plugin and order the button you want

The contoller setting should be understandable.

Here is how I choose my button configuration

  

  And now you should be set for the emulation. 

The last step is:  CDVD>Iso selector and browse your ps2 iso, mid, nrg or bin file

 Then go to System>Boot CDVD (fast)

After (hopefully) you game starts, your memory card should be formatted and then you can start your PS2 game. If there is anything wrong with your emulator, and it doesn't work, don't hesitate to contact me and I will answer your problem on a new post or through a private message. If you want a lightning speed answer you might find your answer on google, there are a lot of guides for the pcsx2.I hope this tutorial helped you to emulate the legendary Ps2 experience :).
