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 />
=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:

=Getting PCSX2=
|- style="vertical-align: top"
You can get PCSX2 for Windows [http://pcsx2.net/download/releases/windows/viewcategory/6-windows.html here]. There are 3 versions available for download: standalone installer, web-installer and Windows binaries.

===Standalone Installer===
==[[GSdx]]-specific combinations 5==
This will download the installer for the latest stable version of PCSX2. After opening it, you will be able to select the installation options.

|- style="vertical-align: top"
<br />
|style="width: 10%"|'''F5'''
<br />After pressing ''Install'' the emulator is going to be installed to the chosen location, the installer is also going to create the following folders (that can be set to a different location afterwards) under the user's My Documents folder:
|Cycles through GS plugin's [[Setting up Windows version#GSdx|de-interlacing]] modes.
*''bios'': This is where you should store the bios file of your PS2, PCSX2 will look for it here by default.
|- style="vertical-align: top"
*''cheats_ws'': Cheats will be store and read from here.
|'''F7'''
*''inis'': This folder is responsible to hold the configuration files for the emulator. You can make PSCX2 load different configurations for each game creating a shortcut to pcsx2.exe and using [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-blog-The-return-of-the-Commandline?pid=118520#pid118520 command line arguments].
|Cycles through [[GSdx#List of ingame keys|"pixel geometry"]] modes activating different shaders (there are 4 different shaders and the default mode).
*''logs'': Emulator logs are going to be stored here.
|- style="vertical-align: top"
*''snaps'': Screenshots taken with the F8 key are stored in this folder.

===Web installer===
==[[GSdx]]-specific combinations 6==
The web installer follows the same procedure than the standalone installer, but it downloads the installation files after the user presses the ''Install'' button.

</center>


===Windows binaries===
==[[GSdx]]-specific combinations 7==
This option download the folder containing the Windows binaries. Just unpack it at the desired location and run '''pscx2.exe'''. This option will not create Start menu entries or a desktop shortcut.
<center>
<br />
{|class="wikitable" style="background: #fdfdfd; vertical-align: top; border-collapse: collapse; width: 70%"
Ideal to keep the application portable, you will need 7-Zip to decompress the file, you can find it [http://www.7-zip.org/ here]. You need the Visual Studio 2013 redistributable for this version to work. Download it [http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/E/6/2E61CFA4-993B-4DD4-91DA-3737CD5CD6E3/vcredist_x86.exe here].
|-style="background: #000000; color: #fdfdfd; text-align: center"
<br />
|'''Hotkey'''
The emulator is going to create the folders mentioned on ''Standalone Installer'' at the first run.
|'''Action'''

=Running PCSX2 for the first time=
|style="width: 10%"|'''F5'''
PCSX2 has a first time configuration wizard to help you configure it easier so we'll first go through that. PCSX2 will automatically store all settings, memcards and new files generated in general in your Documents folder if you used the installers, or in the same folder pcsx2-r5875.exe is located at if you used the binary version.
|Cycles through GS plugin's [[Setting up Windows version#GSdx|de-interlacing]] modes.
<br />
|- style="vertical-align: top"
<br />In the first dropdown, simply select the language you want the program to be in.
|'''F7'''
<br />
|Cycles through [[GSdx#List of ingame keys|"pixel geometry"]] modes activating different shaders (there are 4 different shaders and the default mode).
<br />[[File:PCSX2_Wizard_1.png]]
|- style="vertical-align: top"
<br />
|'''Insert'''
<br />In the second screen you will be able to choose which plugins you want to use. The default plugins are the ones with the higher compatibility and usually fastest too, so before changing them make sure you know what you're doing.
|Toggles software mipmapping.
Here you can also specify a different folder for your plugins if you want, by unchecking the use default setting checkbox and selecting a folder of your choice by clicking Browse. Open In Explorer simply opens a file explorer window in the folder you have specified.
|- style="vertical-align: top"
<br />
|'''Home'''
<br />[[File:PCSX2_Wizard_2.png]]
|Toggles on and off [[external shaders]].
<br />
|- style="vertical-align: top"
<br />In the third screen, you will be prompted to select your BIOS image from the list. If you can't see anything on this list, you need to either copy your BIOS files in the folder seen below, or change that folder to point to where you have your BIOS image saved. For more information about the BIOS, check the BIOS configuration section of this guide. If you can't make a selection, you will not be able to use PCSX2. Click Finish to end the First Time Configuration Wizard.

<br />
|Toggles FXAA mode.

<br />[[File:NewGUI.png]]
</center>
<br />
<br />From here, you can change the settings or plugins used by PCSX2 as you see fit.
<br />We will start with configuring our plugins then we will move onto Core settings configuration.
<br />Go to Config => Plugin/BIOS selector to select and configure the plugins PCSX2 will use.
<br />You'll see a screen like this:
