PCSX2 will now ask you to provide your PS2's BIOS dump. Uncheck the 'Use default setting' box to do so. If you are an advanced user or developer, you may wish to change the plugin directory. Hit the 'Open in Explorer' button to jump straight to the plugin folder. If you have a custom plugin, you may wish to add it to the default plugin folder. If the issue persists, your PC may be severely outdated and we recommend asking for help on the PCSX2 Forums. If the same issue occurs, change the GS plugin from SSE4.1 to SSE2. If you try to continue with setup and you get a warning that the GS plugin failed to load or was incompatible, change the GS plugin from the default AVX2 option to the SSE4.1 option. Most users running on a modern PC will be able to continue normally here without changing any settings.
If you find translation issues and want to fix them yourself, please get into contact with the PCSX2 team by opening a thread on the PCSX2 forums or an issue on GitHub. Note: Translations may not be accurate or actively maintained by translators. You may choose to change the UI language of PCSX2 here. The first time you launch PCSX2, you will be prompted with a First Time Configuration wizard. Note: While this document is using Windows screenshots, you can still follow this guide for Linux.
This guide will walk through the initial setup process of PCSX2 and the basics of configuration.
