Settings are similar between 1.6.0 and non-plugin versions, but you will not need to select plugins if you are running 1.7.1420 or above.''' | '''''Plugins have been merged into the core emulator as of 1.7.1420.

PCSX2 1.6.0 is a plugin-oriented program. Your ''pcsx2.exe'' is the main processor that can emulate the real PS2 on the PC, but it does not work alone. It needs a graphics plugin to display the game graphics and a sound plugin to play the game sounds and music, and it also needs a pad plugin to allow you to play using your keyboard, mouse or gamepad. All plugins are stored (by default) in the ''plugins'' folder of your main PCSX2 folder. | PCSX2 1.6.0 is a plugin-oriented program.

Apart from the main BIOS file (''SCPH-XXXX.bin'' must be exactly 4Mb of size) your BIOS files collection may include ''rom1.bin'',''rom2.bin'',''erom.bin'' and ''SCPH-XXXXX.nvm'' files (note that ''XXXXX'' is the version of your BIOS, e.g. ''SCPH-34004.nvm'' and ''SCPH-34004.bin''). The last file contains some PS2 common and regional settings and it can also be created by the PCSX2 itself after you configure your BIOS while in emulation mode (set time zone, language, etc.) but it would still be fine to dump this file directly from your console. | Apart from the main BIOS file (''SCPH-XXXX.bin'' must be exactly 4Mb of size) your BIOS files collection may include ''rom1.bin'',''rom2.bin'',''erom.bin'' and ''SCPH-XXXXX.nvm'' files (note that ''XXXXX'' is the version of your BIOS, e.g. ''SCPH-34004.nvm'' and ''SCPH-34004.bin'').

{{tip|Interesting | {{tip|Interesting Fact 2: The first Japanese PS2 had a single BIOS and the DVD player was installed on the MemCard. The PS2 consoles following the first model had the DVD Player software installed in a separate ROM (EROM) which is encrypted. The ROM1 is an additional part of the BIOS that contains excess info and items, such as IDs for the DVD Player version. ROM2 is quite similiar, but (potentially) exclusive to Chinese PS2s.
