You might have trouble with it if you're using a budget laptop or a Windows tablet. With other emulators you can get away with using your keyboard for gameplay. I strongly recommend purchasing a gamepad for this emulator. You can download PCSX2 from the official homepage.
However, note that they have a reputation for not being diligent at keeping their download of PCSX2 up-to-date while PCSX2 itself was still being updated. They kept it outdated for years until mid If you want to be absolutely sure to download the latest version of PCSX2, you can grab it from their Github automated builds page.
PlayStation 2 emulation revolves around the plug-in system. The same system used by PlayStation 1 and N64 emulators. PlayStation emulators are merely the shell of the operation.
PCSX2 already comes equipped with plug-ins, so you don't have to worry about downloading them separately and configuring them. I still want to review the different types of plug-ins with you. It's good to be informed with how the emulator works.
Here's the list of them:. 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. Newer versions of PCSX2 are just standalone programs in a zip file. Older versions of PCSX2 install via a wizard. I'll explain both scenarios. Installation is simple: just extract PCSX2 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. PCSX2 must be placed in a common folder on your computer. I recommend Documents , Downloads , or create a folder on your desktop. If you place PCSX2 somewhere else on your main C drive, then you may be restricting it to read-only access. Doing so prevents PCSX2 from saving anything. 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. However, the first time you plug one into your computer it needs to be properly setup or requires special instruction for connecting. There are lots of videos on YouTube showing you how to do this:. 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 towards the bottom of this guide. 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. Windows hides file extensions by default. Here are directions on how to enable them. 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.
