In this guide we will try to explain how to download, install and properly configure '''PCSX2 1.2.1''' on a Windows environment, and also give some tips for running games. The latest version of the guide is to be found on [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Forum-English-Guide the official forum.]

=Overview=
PCSX2 is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_2 Playstation 2] emulator capable of running commercial games. It's an open source proyect and runs on Windos, Mac and Linux. Like its predecessor project PCSX (a PlayStation emulator), is based on a PSEmu Pro spec plug-in architecture, separating several functions from the core emulator. PCSX2 requires a copy of the PS2 BIOS, which is not available for download from the developers, due to the copyright concerns and legal issues associated with it.
<br /><br />
=Prerequisites=


===Bios===
You will need the BIOS file from your Playstation 2 console. This is not included with PCSX2 since it is a Sony copyright so you have to get it from your console. Visit the [http://pcsx2.net/download/releases/tools/viewcategory/14-tools.html tools section] on the PCSX2 site to find out how to do this.


===Minimum settings===
==[[GSdx]]-specific combinations 1==
These are the minimum system requirements tu run PCSX2, bear in mind most games will be unplayable slow:
