SO, this is a big one!

  1. Download PCSX2 from here: https://pcsx2.net/download/relea ... x2-1-6-0-setup.html

  2. Install the downloaded setup

  3. Find Bios files for PS2 (one link is this : https://romsmania.cc/download/bios/pcsx2-playstation-2-bios-3 )

  4. Extract the BIOS files here: Documents\PCSX2\bios

  5. Download the game you want to play on PCSX2. There are a lot of sites for that. You have to extract them if they are compressed.

  6. Open PCSX2.

  7. Goto CDVD -> ISO selector

  8. Choose the extracted game ISO file

  9. Goto System -> Boot CDVD Full

  10. Enjoy!

I think we should share the minimum system requirements too. But we can run in low space pcs by tweaking some settings.

I will be waiting.

You can also save the game at any point, and load it from there There are 10 such slots in PCSX2.

And at any point, I mean 'AT ANY FRIGGING POINT'. Even in the middle of a game, that does not have any checkpoint system built-in. Exa - if you are playing GTA and one of its longer missions that come with a lot of travel, you can save the 'game state' this way right in the middle of the mission while you/your vehicle is pristine, and if by some misfortune you fail the mission/your vehicle explodes; you can resume at exactly the point where you've saved the state - even if the game itself doesn't allow saving that way.

COOL, NO?

Actually, this kind of saving is present in a lot of emulators, but with complex emulators its really a boon.
