The rest of this process is straightforward, but it’s worth highlighting the above screen. If they don’t, make sure you’ve entered the ROMs folder and haven’t set it as a layer above. Your ROMs should appear now in the main window. When you reach this screen, click on the plus icon (+) and just like you did with the BIOS, locate your ROMs folder and select it. Thankfully, it’s done during the first-time setup for ease. The next problem to solve is how to add your ROMs to PCSX2. Note: PAL ROMs only work with a PAL BIOS and NTSC ROMs only work with an NTSC BIOS. Once you’ve got it, place it in a folder then click on Browse and navigate to the folder with the BIOS or BIOSes in. This will let PCSX2 to act like a PS2 and won’t work without it.įor obvious reasons, I can’t share where to download the PS2 BIOS from, but eHowTo has a guide on dumping it yourself if you fancy it. The first big setting is to set your BIOS path. Read through the first screen and when you’re done, click on Next.


Do not skip anything here as it’ll save you a headache later on. This next section is important as it’ll set up both PCSX2 and the ASUS ROG Ally controls. Note: If you want to create a desktop shortcut, the PCSX2-QT file is what you want to use. What we’re after is the main launch file PCSX2-QT.Ĭlick on this file twice and PCSX2 will load for the first time. This will extract the files we need and place them into their own folder.Īfter that’s finished installing head inside the newly-created folder and you should spot a bunch of files. Once that’s installed, use the right trigger to click on the file we downloaded (2.).įrom the submenu that appears, click on WinRAR (1.) first, then from the second menu select Extract to (2.). It’s free and during setup you can specify it to only work with RAR or 7Zip files, meaning the default Windows extraction tool will still handle everything else.

I recommend going with WinRAR as the easiest solution to this problem. Open up the Windows File Explorer (the yellow folder icon) and head into the Downloads folder (1.).ĭue to the file we downloaded being in a 7Zip format, the default Windows file extraction app won’t be able to extract it. Upon clicking the X64 version, a download will appear. It’s also missing certain features found in the Nightly offering. So for this guide, I recommend going with Nightly.Ĭlick on the Latest Nightly then from the drop-down box select the X64 version for Windows. The Stable version has the fewest bugs but the interface is, to put it bluntly, ugly and harder to navigate. There are two choices here: Stable or Nightly. I used Chrome for this, but feel free to go with whatever works for you. Start off by loading up the ASUS ROG Ally and heading to the PCSX2 homepage on your browser of choice.
