PCSX2 is the most advanced emulator of Playstation2 Gaming Console
made till date. Around for more than a decade, PCSX2 can run hundreds
and thousands of PS2 games on the Computer. Today, I’m going to show you
how to run a PS2 Game on PC by using the PCSX2.
First of all download a full installer package from the PCSX2 Website like so:
 |
| Downloading PCSX2 Full Package |
During the setup, you will be prompted for the setup of Microsoft
Visual C++ 2010 Runtime, simply click yes and proceed to do so:
 |
| Visual C++ 2010 Runtime Installtion |
 |
| PCSX2 Installation Complete |
Click the PCSX2 main executable file PCSX2 r4600 and if your
DirectX isn’t up-to-date, you will be prompted to update the DirectX.
To do this, you have two choices one is the DirectX
Web-Installer and the other one is DirectX Offline installer. DirectX
offline installer is the offline installer of the DirectX Runtime Files
which needs no internet connection. You can Click YES in the above
window and you will be redirected to the Microsoft DirectX download
page.
 |
| DirectX Download Page |
 |
| Accept and Click NEXT |
 |
| Click NEXT |
 |
| DirectX installing the required files |
 |
| Installation complete Click FINISH |
After you update the DirectX, the PCSX2 should now be pointing you to a new window for the PS2 BIOS Configuration like so:
Now for the PS2 BIOS, it is actually expected that the PCSX2 User
will dump the PS2 BIOS from his own PS2 Console (as PS2 BIOS is a
copyrighted material). If you want to do the same, here is the link to
the
PS2 BIOS DUMPER.

But, you will readily get the PS2 BIOS on the Web. You can download a copy of
PS2 BIOS from 4Shared and put them in the PCSX2 BIOS Folder. Or, you can download this package of
PS2+BIOS from MegaUpload and copy the BIOS to the PCSX2 0.9.8 BIOS Folder.
I downloaded the one from Megaupload and configured the bios folder
to the one in the PCSX2 directory in which I have put the BIOS.
 |
| Configuring the BIOS |
Then, you should have the PCSX2 running up just fine ready to load a PS2 Game like so:
 |
| PCSX2 |
Configuring the Plugin:
 |
| Click Config->Plugin/BIOS Selector |
I have set the PAD to SSSPSX PAD Pressure Mod 1.7.1 [PadSSSPSX]
 |
| Click Configure next to the PAD |
 |
| Click on the buttons and set the value from Keyboard |
For the PS2 Game ROMS, you can use the PS2 CDVDs or burn PS2 ISOs
with DaemonTools or similar tools. I won’t be going too deep into that.
But, you can download the PS2 Game Roms from
Nitroroms.
And, you can load the ISOs like so:
 |
| Click CDVD->ISO SELECTOR->BROWSE |
 |
| Click SYSTEM |
Click SYSTEM and Click any of the above buttons. This is enough to load the Game from the ISO.
 |
| PCSX2 Game start |
NOTE: YOU MAY NEED TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ADDITIONAL PLUGINS TO PLAY THE GAME
