This is the main dialog to configure plugins. Each plugin can be chosen from a respective combo box and then configured by a respective '''configure''' button. There are also '''Test''' and '''About''' buttons for each chosen plugin but they will make a little sense for configuration. Note that to install a plugin so that it will appear here you'll need to extract it's '''dll''' file into your '''plugins''' folder. All default plugins will already be present after the first installation so you will only need to add them whenever you want to update of replace them. All plugins have versions in their names and it's easy to distinguish between older and the newer ones. If you do not see any choice for BIOS (like on the picture) this means you haven't installed your BIOS properly or maybe it had been dumped with errors (or missing some files). PCSX2 will not work without the correct BIOS (it doesn't matter though whether it will be USA/Europe or Japan BIOS, whichever is installed in your console will do). Please check the section '''Basic PCSX2 knowledge''' to gain some links on the BIOS matter.
 
On the first start you may want to configure '''GSDX''' and '''LilyPad''' (or your other PAD plugin), select your BIOS, and then set your CDVD plugin to the ISO you'd like to play. Here's the overview of each plugin configuration on your first start:
 
* '''Graphics''' -- GSDX: You may leave most switches by default. Do not check '''Wait vsync''' if it's present. Windowed mode tends to be more stable in comparison to full screen. Check also '''Logarithmic Z''' if it's uncheck. For more info please check [[GSDX]] page.
* '''Sound''' -- SPU2-X: You may want to leave the plugin alone for a start. It does not need extensive care to work properly. For more info please check [[SPU2-X]] page.
* '''First controller''', '''Second controller''' -- set them both to LilyPad. This will be the most time consuming configuration (if you do it from the scratch). In most cases it's easier to look at your Dual Shock PS2 controller when assigning the keys. The main buttons are usually assigned in the following manner: Circle to S, Triangle to W, Square to A, Cross to Z and Select to X but of course it's up to you to decide. For more info please check [[LilyPad]] page.
* '''Cdvdrom''' -- Linuz ISO CDVD if you have the dumped ISO image. You may also use CDVD by '''gabest''' to choose the real DVD disk in your DVD-ROM. It is recommended though to dump your DVD into ISO. It will be smoother maybe even more compatible. There are many free programs that can dump your original DVD you may also use trial Alcohol, this is up to you. Unlike with GameCube PS2 DVDs are fully compatible with PC and do not require no special treatment or equipment.
* '''Dev 9''' -- is the NET plugin for online games. You will not need it for your first start. Set it to Dev9null.
* '''USB''' -- as of now there are no plugins for PCSX2 that fall in this category so set this to USBnull.
* '''FireWire''' -- as of now there are no plugins for PCSX2 that fall in this category so set this to FWnull.
 
There are also two buttons: '''Set Plugins Directory''' and '''Set Bios Directory'''. There is no need to use them unless you want to complicate your installation.
