besides that how freaking cool is it to play atari, n64, and ps2 games right on your computer. Its never been a looker, however, with a. I have tried it and it runs ok (needs a ps2 bios though).

It does write some settings to an ini file but I have a gut feeling this is writing some settings in a non portable manner, requires admin priveleges? maybe even requires driver installion? who knows until some one tests it out! Ok, I was hoping someone would embark on making this baby portable, as I take it, it's not portable.

From initially just being able to run a few public domain demos, it's current state enables many games to boot and actually go in game, such as the 'famous' Final Fantasy X or Devil May Cry 3. The project has been running for a little over four years now, and since it's initial release has grown in compatibility.

The PCSX2 project attempts to allow PS2 code to be executed on your computer, thus meaning you can put a PS2 DVD or CD into your computers drive, and boot it up! The emulator works with a fairly large percentage of PS2 games already.PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 emulator for Windows and Linux, started by the same team that brought you PCSX (a Sony PlayStation 1 emulator). PCSX2 will continue receiving updates through your distribution’s repositories, but don’t expect major changes. That’s it! You can rip your PS2 library and start playing your old favorites on Linux. PCSX2 uses virtual PS2 memory cards, too. You can save your game progress normally. Next, select the system tab at the top of the window, and choose one of the options to boot your virtual system.

Then, browse for your ISO file under “ISO Selector.” When you have a game to play, select “CDVD” in the top menu of the emulator. Insert your DVD into your computer, and select the option in your program to make a copy of the DVD. Thankfully, it’s really easy to rip your PS2 games into ISO files with a regular DVD drive and a DVD writing program, like Brasero. Look for the “Controllers” option in the menu, and choose “Plugin Settings” from there.Ī new window will open to let you configure your virtual controller or a USB controller you may have attached. Click the “Config” tab at the top of your PCSX2 window.

The default controls for PCSX2 might seem clumsy and uncomfortable. You’ll see your system BIOS at the top of the screen. Once you have the BIOS, place them in “/home/username/.config/PCSX2/bios” and refresh the list. This method is definitely not recommended and probably illegal in your area. That said, you can find them online to download, too. It gets you BIOS straight from the source, and they’re generally more complete. The best way is to use the PCSX2 BIOS Dumper on your PS2 console to extract the BIOS files onto a USB drive and copy them to your computer from there.

You have two options for getting PS2 BIOS. Of course, you haven’t set those up yet, so it’s time to get those in the right place. The next screen will ask you to select your PS2 BIOS. You can change these at any time, and the defaults are fine to get started. Next, it’ll ask you to choose your plugins. When it first starts up, it’ll ask you to configure some settings, beginning with your language. You can launch it under the games category on your desktop.
