Hey guys, this is going to be my first tutorial so please give me some constructive feedback 

 

The Tools you will need:

 

A PlayStation 2 emulator which you can find: here

The game ISO which you can download: here

Some BIOS files needed to start the emulator: here

 

Now that you have everything you need I will explain how to configure the basic stuff of this emulator PCSX2. If you have used it before you can pretty much skip all the rest and enjoy the game    If you are not familiar at all please continue on.

 

 

When you are installing make sure you install the DirectX and the C++ Redistributables. Chances are that you already have them because they are needed for some games/software. After installing and opening it for the first time this is the screen you will see:

 

 

No need to explain much here. It supports a lot of languages if you want to change the language do so and then click Next.

 

 

After you click next on the previous screen you will see this one. It loads the default plugins. Those worked fine on my PC so i didn't bother changing them.

If you run across any problems after following this guide please comment below and i will try to help you finding the right ones for your system.

 

 

You then will be prompted to pick a BIOS file. For that open the BIOS zipped file you downloaded early and extract any .bin file to the bios folder. You can drop all of them or just one. It wont really matter as the emulator isn't region locked. After placing any file just click on Refresh List and choose one.

 

This is just a screenshot showing i had those 2 emulator files on my Bios folder.

 

The emulator is now configured     yaay 

 

Now there's just one more step... The controls

 

Just go to Config > Controllers [Pad] > Plugin Settings...

 

 

Now you will see some window with PAD1 and PAD2 tabs. Just configure the PAD1

 

 

This is how mine looks. You can also use your keyboard but i find it better to use some usb controller 

To set the key just click on them on the right side and it will prompt you to click on a key with your keyboard/controller and it will save it.

 

Finally after all this just click on System > Boot CDVD (full)

Choose the ISO you just downloaded and voila!

I made it that resolution just for the tutorial purposes. I always play it full screen 

 

Now after all this hopefully everything will work just fine   If not I will try to help you find some other plugins which may work on your system.

I never tested this on Linux/Mac but since they have it on their download page i assume it will work just fine.

 

 

That's all folks

I would definitely try it if I hadn't got a really slow computer. I'm saving up money for a good pc, but as for right now I can only play Super Mario here

[Coops]

I remember playing this as a kid. I still have it. And my playstation.

[Honchkrow]

Oh shoot! I've been meaning to play this since my PS2 blew up but found out the game compatibility with PCS was off but now it works! Thanks man.

Hello, so I followed everything you did and got it to work, I just can't use my mouse or key bored, I've tried pressing the keys and using my mouse but nothings works. would help out a lot if you have an idea on whats wrong.

Hey, What Iso did you choose? I tried all 3 options available that popped up from ISO selector on the dropdown, from the download of Darkest Faerie that's linked here and they all ended in "File not found. Path: IsoFileSystem." and nothing is playing after that. Is the link broken?

What do you mean, when I clicked on the ios link it took me straight to a download link for it, or are you talking about something els?

Did you go to the controllers pad setttings? You need to configure the keyboard or a controller for it to work.

Very nice guide! 

 

I'll have to give the game a try since I never played it as a kid! 

[Ghartun]

Thanks a lot for this! I never had the chance to play the game, now I can fulfill this wish

Only thing is that my screen is looking really odd, anyone can help?

great guide! used to love this game as a kid!

[booble]

I never played this game, though I heard about it. Maybe I'll give it a go, thanks!

[piepope3]

Hey, I've got the ROM to work but when I try and boot up the ROM it just comes up with a screen of two save drives and a disc option. When I click the disc it just takes me back to the same screen, and when i click the save drives, it only gives me the option to copy or to delete the saved files. Please help!

 

 

 

-------------------------------------

 

I got it. You have to run it as CDVD(fast) and not CDVD(full).
