The main distinctive feature of this emulator is that it supports a wide array of PlayStation 2 video games. 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.

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.
