Step 2 BIOS Files:

According to the functioning of the PlayStation 1, the PlayStation 2 utilizes many BIOS files. And actually they are the toughest one to search for. These files are the copyrighted material so you are only abel to access these files if you owe a PlayStation 2 gadget. You can use a does NOT encourage piracy. This is the basic cause behind illegal to hosting of these files online or over internet. If you have a PlayStation 2 as a gadget with you, it's actually not illegal to download these files.

So the only two options left is to either dump the files from your PlayStation 2, or search for sources who dumped these files and who have posted these online.

Step 3 Executing PCSX2 and Configuring BIOS, Video and Controller Input:

The program consists of two different versions available. One version utilizes TLB (pcsx2t.exe), and the other version uses Virtual Memory (pcsx2.exe). Initially, try to execute virtual memery version. This program will help you to allocate the memory of your computer which you have logged off and on again during these procedures. If this procedure fails, then you have to utilize the TLB version. This method is a bit slow, but as per developers the speed difference is not that great.

As you have begin up, select Config and then ‘Configure’.

Initially configure your computer BIOS. Try to Press ‘Set Bios Directory’ and choose the folder from where you have inserted your BIOS files. Then rollback to the Configuration screen and select the accurate region from the Bios menu. You can also change this at present and later, depending on your games you are playing.

Next step is to switch at video plug-in option. PCSX2 package consists of ZeroGS KOSMOS and GSdx9 plug-ins inside it. The ‘Ps2 Output’ window which actually looks similar to the command prompt screen usually opens as you begin with PCSX2. Or else, it will close the Configuration screen for sometime, select ‘Misc’ -> ‘Enable Console’ and reboot the program. Inside Ps2 Output screen, check if ‘Detected SSE2′ is provided below Features.

If you click on the ‘Configure' button below the video menu, you can see graphic related options such as screen size, toggle full-screen, anti-aliasing and many more.

As controller is concerned, I highly recommend you to use LilyPad. This is one of the most adjustable plug-ins. You are also able to use keyboard, mouse and controller input in this section. You are also provided with a setting inorder to use Guitar option.
You just have to download here, and then drop it inside the plugins directory. If you are accessing the installer,inside C:\Program Files\Pcsx2_0.9.4\plugins .
Try to Re-open the Configuration screen, and select LilyPad from the menu and then press on configure. In the ‘General’ tab, you can view various settings available for you. Select the ‘Pad 1′ or ‘Pad 2′ tab inorder to configure the keys inside these option.

Step 4 Test and alternative plug-ins:

As you complete with set up, it’s time to have a test. This test will help you to check if everything is working as per instructions, and also check for points required for more improvement.

You are able to boot games,as per the plug-in you use, either by media device CD/DVD or through an image file. The standard configuration utilizes Linuzappz, which are capable to boot ISO’s and other image files. To perform this, just choose ‘File’ and then ‘Run CD/DVD’.

If you boot from a disc, rollback to the configuration screen and select the P.E.Op.S driver from the Cdvdrom menu available inside options. You can Press configure to choose an interface based on operating system and the drive you need to utilize. Also Confirm configuration and you are ready to play.
