For those users do not want to spend the time fiddling with all the hacks, fixes and speed-ups described above and especially for the new users who wants to start playing games right away the system of options sets or ''presets'' was introduced. This system will restrict you to only 6 slider positions instead of myriad options and PCSX2 will automatically assume using specific options, game fixes and speed-ups according to the ''presets'' level you choose. Check ''Preset'' checkbox on the botton of settings window to enable using presets. This will disable most of the options on many tabs (because they will now be controlled by PCSX2 automatically). Presets go from the safest (but also the slowest) to the most unsafe (but the fastest one). You should start with level '''1''' or '''2''' if you have a powerful machine. Level '''3''' and '''4''' are for those who do not have a good machine or have a very demanding game to emulate. Level '''5''' or '''6''' are not recommended and should only be used as a last resort (note that some game can even be ''slowed down'' by those levels).
