It's still a good emulator, though. With all the emulator offerings as of , should you use pSX? Well, probably not. DuckStation is currently the 1 emulator. Another great option is RetroArch , a multi-system emulator that supports over 40 systems. They don't use a plug-in system, so you don't have to bother with plugins to set everything up. They can also correct 3D gittery and distorted textures. RetroArch, however, is a hassle when it comes to swapping discs.
However, what pSX has to offer is friendliness with older, slower computers. If you have an old computer, DuckStation or RetroArch may not run. This is a separate download after you've downloaded pSX. Below you can download this BIOS. Installation is simple: just extract pSX from its zip file. Not sure how to extract zip files? Here's a video tutorial showing you how: how to unzip files on Windows. I recommend Documents , Downloads , or create a folder on your desktop.
If you place pSX somewhere else on your main C drive, then you may be restricting it to read-only access. This prevents pSX from saving anything. To open pSX, double-click on. I no longer have the disc. January 10th, , 4. January 10th, , 5. Originally Posted by darpsplover. January 10th, , 6.

Note that you don't have to stick with the plug-ins that come with PCSX2. You might find better ones out there if you Google around. This is a separate download after you've downloaded PCSX2. Below you can download this BIOS. Unlike other emulators, PCSX2 uses an install wizard. It's a pretty straightforward installation:. Usually emulators have all the keyboard keys preconfigured, but PCSX2's keys are a clean slate the first time you open it!
You have no choice but to configure them. Again, I urge you to purchase a gamepad since the PlayStation 2 controller has a lot of buttons. Using just the keyboard is a frustrating experience.
Loading a real PlayStation 2 game that you own is incredibly easy. Rather, I recommend ripping your game to an ISO. I have directions for that right below. It's a common type of ISO format. You may find that some games get stuck at the loading screen when you try to load them. There are several possible factors to this problem. Try running through this checklist:. PCSX2 only supports games a. Keep reading if the PS2 game you downloaded is not in these formats. These formats are forms of compression, and your PS2 game is inside of it!
You need to extract it. Windows can extract ZIP files by default: here are directions. These ISO formats are exclusive to specific burning software.
Google around to find what program is associated with that format. Once found, install it and burn the game to a DVD. However if you want my opinion, I say just forget about it. Working with these proprietary ISO formats are too much trouble.
With today's computers you don't need to use PCSX2's speed hacks. The default settings are fine for most people. Maybe if you're on a Windows tablet or a budget laptop, you'd need to make use of the speed hacks if you find that games are running slow. PCSX2 makes adjusting game performance very easy with a simple slider.
Hovering over the slider pops up this information:. The Presets apply speed hacks, some recompiler options and some game fixes known to boost speed. Known important game fixes will be applied automatically. If that doesn't help, then I hate to break it to you but your system is not fast enough to handle PCSX2. The default settings in PCSX2 cause 2D games to have weird graphic glitches around the bounding boxes of graphics and sprites.
See above for an example. There's an easy fix for this. Save states is a feature that saves the exact spot you are in any game. You can use this feature manually by going into the File menu or by quick keyboard shortcuts. Fast forward is the feature that speeds up the game. To access it, press the Tab key. To end the fast forwarding, press the Tab key again. Unless you're an advanced user who cares about console logs, this thing is an eye sore. PCSX2 doesn't have the ability to capture screen shots.
Rather, I have a cool solution for you. Download ShareX. It's free and supported by Google! Sometimes when PCSX2 is force closed it gets screwed up and spits out this error every time you try to load a game:.
