Try running the BIOS first, by selecting null CDVD plugin, then if everything is going OK, you've just to switch to another CDVD plugin depending on what format/media you want running your game from (CD/DVD (peops+efp CDVD), IMG, ISO,....etc(Linuzaapz+efp iso)).
Thats all.

If any problem while running the BIOS, know that its a GPU/SPU plugin, try always using different plugins set till you get it working.

One last thing, update all your hardware drivers to the latest (esp the GFX card).

where is the "null cdvd plugin"?

EDIT - what is linuzappaz (sp?) and how do I get and how do I use it? thanks again guys...

 

[karas81]

Those are CDVD plugins!!

Run PCSX2, then go to Config/Configure there you can config anything that your emu will use (plugins, bios...etc), look under CDVDROM drop down list you'll find all the mentioned stuff.

 

[Drogdar]

bios had like 6 things under it (went to select iso) and plugins had nothing.

 

[karas81]

mmm, look in the bottom left corner, you'll find two buttons to select your plugins folder [SET PLUGINS DIRECTORY] : which PCSX2 will load your plugins from.
And the other one is for selecting the bios folder [SET BIOS DIRECTORY] : to select which the emu will use to select your BIOS from.

Try clicking on each to config its path correctly, that should fix the issue of not seeing the plugins in the drop lists.

ok, I did that.

this is what I got:

Now configure Linuzappz Iso CDVD 0.7.0 plugin, and browse your DVD image file( i.e. your PS2 game ISO).
Press OK-OK.

File> Run CD/DVD.

I have noticed that my Keyboard and Mouse configuration (using LilyPad plugin) work great for games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Nobunaga's Ambition, and even Samuari Warrior 2. Some games like Kingdom Heart really needs a Controller but you can scrap by if you really set up your LilyPad correctly.

 

[Drogdar]

Now configure Linuzappz Iso CDVD 0.7.0 plugin, and browse your DVD image file( i.e. your PS2 game ISO).
Press OK-OK.

File> Run CD/DVD.

I did that... no luck. I can't even get to the Ps2 screen anymore. Ima play around with it when I get home from work.

 

[jyanta]

Is it throwing an error in your event log? I noticed that when I orginally was using the PCSX2 I somehow messed up my DirectX files. Once I reinstalled the DirectX Redistruption file from MS then it started working for me again. Just an idea.

 

[Drogdar]

^ read the first page. I have a post with screens of the messages. I might have a bad ISO image... im not sure yet.

 

[karas81]

try also running your game from CD/DVD media, see what you get.

 

[Drogdar]

^ what do you mean?

i have tried from the file "run" and... i dont what it was from... but the options was excute...

 

[Fadingz]

You should use File -> Run CD/DVD
what hanibal meant was that you can try from the original disks with actual DVD plugin and see.
Perhaps the iso.'s you made are corrupted.

 

[karas81]

CD/DVD media = your original CD/DVD-ROM game disc.

And :

RUN = Used for running games (PCSX2 start using/reading DATA from Game Media directly without passing the BIOS/SONY_LOGO thing).

Execute : Do the same thing but with The BIOS/SONY_LOGO integrated in the BOOT/Reading process of the game.

I haven't tried the original disk yet... it was faster to download a copy then it was to walk across the street and get it

any who, thanks for all your help ^_^

You're welcome you won't receive any help anymore regardless ^^
See FAQs for more details.

 

[Drogdar]

ok, i've put the game in (the original disk) and still no luck. I can't even get to the "browse screen" anymore... this game should be completely playable.
