Gs Plugin Failed To Load Pcsx2

[Antionette Eastin]

Thanksfor this! I made this change as well, and it seems to have fixed the issue with the ini files. However, a new error has sprung up. Now, when PCSX2 starts up while trying to load a game it says, "CDVD plugin failed to open. Your computer may have insufficient resources, or incompatible hardware/drivers." Then shortly after RocketLauncher gives me an error that says, "There was an error detecting when PCSX2 finished loading your game. Please report this so the module can be fixed."

I've tried changing the CDVD plugin options in PCSX2, as well as in the RocketLauncher module settings, but nothing seems to make any difference. I'm using Daemon Tools Lite, version 4.49.1.0356 the same as always. I had everything working before with PCSX2 v1.2.1.

***EDIT*** I seem to have solved this issue by disabling the virtual drive for the PS2 in RocketLauncher. It no longer mounts the images, but instead loads them directly in the emulator. All seems to be working as far as I can tell.

Thanks badboo and agent47 for the info. Will look into it and for now i ended up going back to the emulator that worked with the module. At 1st it did not work is the reason i updated emulator but when i re-added it back worked fine and no slowness. Now I can finish working on adding media and stuff for the games i want on my list. Thank again.

Let me begin by a big fat disclaimer: the last time I used a game console was in the heyday of Commodore 64.Nevertheless, I'm attentive to the needs of my readers, and one or more shouted: how the feck do I get me PSP2games running emulated on a PC? So I stepped in to help them.

This article will show you how to install and setup the PCSX2 emulator onLinux, more specifically, the latest Mint release; although, itworks just as well on Windows, and probably even better. We will do a native install and not use WINE. We will focus on the trickier steps, like BIOS firmware, controller configs andsuch. We will not be doing any game optimization, graphics improvements or similar. My experience with PSP2games, game sources, free downloads, or anything of that sort is extremely limited. However, when it comes toLinux, I can surely help you, and that's what we will do today. Afterwards, it's up to you to get the games,tweak them and play them.

There are several ways you can install the emulator. You can manually download the package from the officialsite, install a handful of library dependencies and then try to run the program. I would advise against it.Instead, I would recommend using unofficial PPA repositories to get all the needed content. Now, this means youare probably limited to the Ubuntu family, but this should get you startednicely.

There are two repositories, the stable one, for 32-bit builds andthe experimental one, for 64-bit builds andthe less stable, more recent versions of the software, with all the limitations implied. In my testing, I usedthe second.

The first time you run the program, you will need to configure your emulator. In a sense, it's similar toworking with virtualization software, like VirtualBox, or maybe the DOSBox game emulator. If you're familiar with those, you'll get along just fine.

Do not worry if you get some of the options wrong in the wizard, you will always be able to get back to thosein the main section of the program and make necessary changes. The first step is the selection of the language.The second one is the configuration of hardware emulation drivers, including the graphics, the gamepad, sound,USB, FireWire, etc. You can also add your own plugins. However, you will need to override the default systemspecified in the menu.

The one option of particular interest is the gamepad option, which you will most likely be emulating using thekeyboard and maybe the standard mouse. We will talk a little more about that separately, however do note thatWindows users enjoy an advantage in the form of Lilypad drivers, which are not available for Linux, methinks.

The third step is the trickiest. You will need to provide legal BIOS firmwarefrom your Playstation to be able to finish the configuration and use the program. You can search online for theBIOS firmware dumper software, and it's also available on the official site.

In a sense, this is no different from installing Microsoft Windows as a virtual machine. You will need your ownseparate license key for the guest operating system. You will also need games, which again, should probablycome from a store, bought and paid for. I'm not here to preach morality, but you get the idea.

Well, the whole locked-down concept of gaming console is one of the reasons I don't like them, but let's notargue about your erroneous taste, let's see if we can help you enjoy your games on your PC. That's all.

And now you can fire up the emulator. If all is well, it should run and show the debug console near the mainwindow, which you can close later on if you find it too distracting visually. Something like this:

Now, it's time to configure the program some more. Under Config, you can find all sorts of settings. You canalso edit your plugins, your hardware drivers, change key bindings, and other options. For example, you willwant Onepad for Linux. Then, you can also tweak the way the emulator runs, hopefully adding some extra juice toyour games.

Now comes the second tricky part. Games. You need a few legal copies, although free games and promos areavailable. My experience is close to null in this regard, so you're better searching for some on your own.PCSX2 allows you to run games from CD/DVD, but also from mounted ISO images in the Nodisc mode. Again, you willfigure it out much better than me, as optimization of Playstation gaming is not my strong side.

However, if you managed to get to this stage, the rest should be a pleasant journey of exploration, trial anderror and a lot of reading on the official site and various forums specializing in just that.

PCSX2 emulator is a handy tool. However, if you expected it will bring free games to your doorstep, you will bedisappointed. The program does not replace the need for a valid copy of your own BIOS firmware from theconsole, as well as games. So the emulator is there for your convenience, not to help you with the financialrecession.

This tutorial only touches the first steps needed to get underway with PCSX2. There's a whole lot more you cando, including graphics, sound and emulation tweaks, better drivers for your gamepad, other plugins, and a wholelot more. I wish I had any sort of passion with console gaming to help you there, but I'm a PC gamer only.Anyhow, with the information provided in this guide, you'll be just fine. Party on, fellas.
