=Running PCSX2 for the first time= | |||
PCSX2 has a first time configuration wizard to help you configure it easier so we'll first go through that. | |||
<br /> | |||
<br />In the first screen, you will be prompted to select the language. | |||
<br /> | |||
<br />'''''PLACEHOLDER FOR SELECT LANGUAGE IMAGE''''' | |||
<br /> | |||
In the first dropdown, simply select the language you want the program to be in. | |||
<br /> | |||
PCSX2 will automatically store all settings, memcards and new files generated in general in your Documents folder if you used the installers, or in the same folder pcsx2-r5875.exe is located at if you used the binary version. | |||
<br /> | |||
<br />''''' PLACEHOLDER FOR SECOND SCREEN IMAGE''''' | |||
<br /> | |||
In the second screen you will be able to choose which plugins you want to use. The default plugins are the ones with the higher compatibility and usually fastest too, so before changing them make sure you know what you're doing. | |||
Here you can also specify a different folder for your plugins if you want, by unchecking the use default setting checkbox and selecting a folder of your choice by clicking Browse. Open In Explorer simply opens a file explorer window in the folder you have specified. | |||
<br /> | |||
<br />''''' PLACEHOLDER FOR THIRD SCREEN IMAGE''''' | |||
<br /> | |||
In the third screen, you will be prompted to select your BIOS image from the list. If you can't see anything on this list, you need to either copy your BIOS files in the folder seen below, or change that folder to point to where you have your BIOS image saved. For more information about the BIOS, check the BIOS configuration section of this guide. If you can't make a selection, you will not be able to use PCSX2. Click Finish to end the First Time Configuration Wizard. | |||
<br /> | |||
<br />This is the main GUI(Graphical User Interface) of PCSX2. | |||
<br /> | |||
<br />''''' PLACEHOLDER FOR GUI IMAGE''''' | |||
<br /> | |||
From here, you can change the settings or plugins used by PCSX2 as you see fit. | |||
We will start with configuring our plugins then we will move onto Core settings configuration. | |||
Go to Config => Plugin/BIOS selector to select and configure the plugins PCSX2 will use. | |||
<br />You'll see a screen like this: | |||
