How To Download Pcsx2 Bios
Rachel Neylon
When I downloaded the pcsx2-0.9.8-r4594-linux.tar.gz I extracted it in the home directory and run the launch_pcsx2_linux.sh file, it closed immediately. When I open GNOME-terminal and typed in: ./launch_pcsx2_linux.sh I got the following error:
One just download it from the pcsx2 site, extract it in your home folder, and run the launch_pcsx2_linux.sh(X86 only). here is the pcsx2.desktop file save it in /usr/share/applications/ or in your /home/your username/.local/share/applications/. Edit the file, where it says your username change it to your actual username, and the actual path to the binary.
If the PCSX2 doesn't work for you, try the pcsx2-unstable package. One thing you need to do, when configuring PCSX2, is add BIOS files. You will get a window that asks for these BIOS files. You will need to provide legal BIOSes yourself!
The legacy memory cards folder is only used if Mcd001.ps2 and/or Mcd002.ps2 is detected in retroarch/system/pcsx2/memcards/ and the "Memory Card: Slot N" core option is set to "Legacy".
This can be useful if you were using an older version of the core that didn't use the saves folder yet, or if you transferred the memcards folder directly from standalone.
Hi, I've been playing with Launchbox for a while and everything seems to work well for the most part, but I was wondering if there was a way or a specific command line option I should choose to see the Gamecube BIOS/startup and the PS2 BIOS/startup in Dolphin and PCSX2 respectively. They both start fine if I run the emulators by themselves but when launching through Launchbox it always skips the bios and goes directly to the game. I know this is a pretty trivial thing but I was wondering if there was a workaround to this or something I'm missing (Demul boots with BIOS fine through Launchbox). I'm aware that with ePSXe there's a command you can add to force it to launch the bios before starting the game.
I'm not sure if this is possible on Dolphin or not, i believe the dolphin team wrote there own bios for the emulator, that is why you do not need to provide one for the games to work on it, but i could be wrong so if anyone wants's to correct me on that feel free. As for PS2 go to tools/manage emulators double click pcsx2 and in the command line box add the command --fullboot, that should then play the bios when you launch a game.
Try changing the settings for pcsx2 from Main Menu -> F1 -> left hand side Applications -> pcsx2. Might be something there that causes the issue. Also check that batocera is finding the bios files by checking Start Menu -> Games Settings -> Missing bios.
for pcsx2 config you need to have keyboard+mouse connected. In the menu you choose the emulator press F1 on the keyboard to access more options. From there click Applications in the left hand side and then pcsx2-config that appears on the screen. Try starting games from the config and press esc to edit settings and see if you get it working. The missing bios menu is accessed via the controller by Start -> Games Settings -> down the list and Missing Bios. If it says ps2 is missing there is something wrong with your bios file.
Hey HP Z820 Gurus: I am having a reoccurring problem with my z820, when it is shutdown then restarted it will freeze on the bios mini oRom window showing gibberish. I have a ps2 keyboard attached to press ESC on power up but it freezes on "enting Startup menu". The only way around this is to move the jumper in E15 and bootup from USB Stick with Bios. Weird thing is the computer will turn on blue light then flash RED in following order but never go back to Blue:
and then wait for the system to continue the boot it can take up to 10 min for the system to scan all the SAS and SATA ports which the z820 has once in the bios use the reset to FACTORY defaults not the stored defaults, if you don't know how to do this post here
D Groves, thank you for replying. When the computer is turned off again and if I goes into this freeze mode yes, I will take a pic of the screen and post it. When I mentioned that the mini OROM was displaying gibberish I meant that it would post hexadecimal code and would just remain there for hours. I even left it on over night one hoping it would correct itself. I normally do have an external SATA drive attached for it contains the audio sample library for music production, but even if everything is disconnected and only down to a ps2 keyboard and one monitor, this still would happen and the keyboard would not even be recognize, no CTL-ALT-Delete would work, the bios would not even recognize a ESC before powering on or while starting up. Thanks again for your assistance and Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to you!
