'''[[PCSX2]]''' is a complex system and it's not so user-friendly in some of its parts. You must have some basic computer knowledge to be able to set it up correctly. If you are an advanced user please skip the following paragraph. As of now there are two versions of the emulator: the '''old GUI''' version and the '''new GUI''' version. Each version is ultimately the same PCSX2 but in a different envelope. The programs with the '''new GUI''' are newer and ''might'' be more compatible. Before you continue further you must determine your version of PCSX2. The easiest way to do it is to run PCSX2 and go to the '''config'''-'''configure''' or '''config'''-'''general settings''' menu. If you will see some pretty icons like this [[Image:GuideRel_1.png]] or [[Image:GuideRel_2.png]] in the upper panel you're definitely using the new GUI version. In the old GUI on the other hand there won't be either icons or upper panel (only the plugin selection). | '''[[PCSX2]]''' is a complex system and it's not so user-friendly in some of its parts.

Please do not forget to update your DirectX before starting PCSX2 - old versions of DirectX will cause issues for [[GSdx]]. See the [[GSdx#Hardware requirements|GSdx]] page for more information. | Please do not forget to update your DirectX before starting PCSX2 - old versions of DirectX will cause issues for [[GSdx]].
