Hello everyone. I just downloaded pcsx2 (Seemed like only hope to play good game on Linux (( ). And I think plugins and bios is ok. But I tried to play Dark cloud 1, but nothing. A window showed up, and was hearing the start sound of ps2. But unfortunately, the window wasn't showing anything, just fps( and it was around 40-50). So I want to know if the problem in game or something. And i'd really appreciate if someone could post here which games he.she played with this emu. And if possible user who have experience with this emu, post help maybe I configured plugins bad or something.
P.S>Well my video card isn't 'brilliant' I am using Toshiba satellite L300 with it's standard videocard. It's Vram should be around 368 (Checked when I used Windows, don't know if it is same in Linux)
Sorry for this long long post
PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 emulator originally created for the Windows operating system. Over time, ports of PCSX2 for other platforms have emerged, including one for Mac OS X. Called PCSX2/Mac, it is not as well updated and functional as the Windows version, but is capable of playing many PS2 games without problems. In order to run properly, PCSX2 requires that a particular set of plug-ins and other tools, including a BIOS file, be installed.
Step 1
Apr 3, 2018 - Downloads of the PCSX2 emulator for Windows, Linux and Mac 3D. Is the most well-known graphics (GS) plugin for PCSX2, dating back to. Next head over to the PCSX2 for Mac download page and grab the latest version for your operating system. There are separate versions for Snow Leopard and Lion, as well as some more experimental builds which are more prone to crashing but more advanced in terms of plugin and game support.
Download and install the Nvidia CG framework package. This framework is necessary for PCSX2/Mac to correctly interpret and render the interface and graphics.
Step 2
Install the PCSX2/Mac package. The package includes various graphics and audio plug-ins that will be installed automatically.
Step 3
Launch PCSX2/Mac. Its icon is labeled “pcsx2” and is found in the Applications folder. Its interface appears.
Step 4
Open the Config menu in PCSX2/Mac’s interface and select Configure. PCSX2/Mac’s configuration screen appears. The different graphics and sound plug-ins are selected using the labeled drop-down menus in this screen. Experimenting with different plug-ins will often solve audio/video problems when you're running a game.
Step 5
Click the “Select BIOS Dir” button. A file browser dialogue appears. Double-clock the folder named bios to open it. If you have a PS2 BIOS file, it should be placed in this folder. Note that it is illegal to use a PS2 BIOS file downloaded online. Only BIOS files retrieved from a PS2 you legally own are legal to use. PCSX2/Mac can’t run PS2 games in the absence of a BIOS file.
Step 6
Click “Open.” PCSX2/Mac sets the folder as the location of the BIOS file. You must perform this step for PCSX2/Mac to function correctly.
Insert a PS2 game in your DVD drive or mount an ISO disk image of one on the Desktop. Open PCSX2/Mac’s File menu and select Run CD/DVD or Run ISO Image, depending on the medium used. PCSX2/Mac should run the game, but results will vary considerably. Some will run flawlessly while others will not run at all. Try using different audio and video plug-ins when a game has problems running—this will often solve the problem.
Items you will need
- Nvidia Cg 3.0 toolkit
- Legally obtained PS2 BIOS file
