    Ok, thanks to adriskrayzee, i have the bios i need, but when i run the program, i get 2 errors

    rom2 not found

    erom not found

    this seems to be important, because the program always stops working when it get to that part.

    I just read the PCSX2 guide, and the newer versions need those two files, which are also part of the BIOS, and unfortunately I didnt have then.
    I have no problem with torrents so I can start downloading those files now, but I won't be able to get them to you until tomorrow, because it's really late at the moment and I need to get up early tomorrow.

    I dont get those errors anymore, but the emu freezes up and stops working after that.

    I'm trying to run the game off a comercial cd if that may help

    Make sure that you have the necessary plugins and you have configured them correctly.

    Hardware is a big issue with PS2 Emulation, so what are your specs of your PC and your video card?

    im trying pcsx2 twice....
    1st with dynasty warriors4X...its sound only..... :p
    2nd with ROTKX...and its works!but veeery slow.....yay...

    i think a very high end machine is needed for optimal performance....
    oh and remember that ps2 have 128 bit...... ;)

    I'm not sure if the video card is powerful enough, the PS2 has a 128MB card, so you might need a more powerful card (a reasonable 256MB card should do it). The RAM is fine, though.

    @vihznu: I don't think optimal performance is even achievable. The PS2 is really heavy for a computer, for a reasonably good experience you would need quite the high end machine.

    Yep. i fixed the plugin stuff, thanks to that guide adriskrayzee posted, but when i play, its only at about 50% performance whateverness. Fun stuff, now that i got it to work.

    Thanks, especially adriskrayzee!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

    PS2 Emulation is not complete yet, some games will run better than others. Make sure to check the official compatibility list to see how will your game run or what issues you will encounter.
