10. Go to Config > General Settings > Speedhacks
Try this settings if you need the Speed
- EE Cyclerate: 2
- VU Cycle Stealing: 2 or 3

- Other Hacks: Check all Settings
Note: Read each setting, before or after trying them out. If the graphics aren't good
Try this settings
- EE Cyclerate: 1 or 2
- VU Cycle Stealing: 1
- mircoVU Hacks: Uncheck all Settings
- Other Hacks: Only Check "Recommend" and/or All settings

11. Read "Game Fixes", "Plugins" its to change your plugins and configure, "Folders" its to change where something is and "CPU" I haven't missed with


To Configure each Setting [GS, PAD, SPU2...]
1. Go to Config > Plugins > GS - Resolution: 800x600 60Hz
- Renderer: Direct3D9 Hardware [or Software]
- Interlacing: If shaking or blur
- Aspect Ratio: Stretch
- D3D internal res: Check Native

Pad - Configure all the Keys

SPU2 - SPU2-X 1.3.0 [SPU2-X] Read when changing settings
- SPU2null 0.8.0 [SPU2null] No Sound, more Speed

CDVD - "@ (Disc)" if the game is downloaded
- "D: " if the game is on a Disc

For Playing PS2 roms
1. To download and put together PS2 roms
- Run 7zip setup[/INDENT]
- Download parts [001, 002,003...] and put them into a folde
- Extract the First Part "7z.001" anywhere or into the folder
Tip
- What I do is make a "PS2 Rom" folder and put that folder into the emulator folder.
- If your going to put it on a DVD disc you would need the "sfv" file

2. To choose a game go to Boot > Select CDVD source > Iso Browser... and choose a PS2 Rom
3. To start a game go to Boot > Run CDVD

I don't know what to say, but if you need a personal Tutor I'm good at that. Love this site I well never upset you again, I'm sorry I ever posted those other links I won't do it again and neither will I see, hear, say bios.

I really don't know how else to let someone contact me, but my name is Lukong and its almost every where

I guess I lost my innocence when I told everyone I could get a working PS2 emulator on a emulator site that follows the "rules"/law

Want to ask about plugins if you don't mind me posting here.. o.o

Musashi: Samurai Legend (Crashes at certain time, random places)

My comp specs:
MS Windows XP Professional SP2
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo E7500 2.93GHz
1.0GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD3450

I'm using PCSX2 0.9.6, What plugins is good to use?
I have only got 15 - 30 FPS so far lol depends on the monsters/npc around.

oh 1 more thing:
where did you get the bios "USA v02.00 (14/06/2004) Console"?
I'm not asking for the download link or something, just wondering if you got it from your PS 2 or googling.

I hope you know the Beta had Bios, its just that they don't work.

The only reason you would need this is due to the fact that I use roms so there is a site that puts there compress roms into 7z, but seeing as your all legit you would play from your DVD/CD Drive.

Sorry for How I replied here you go.

Okay, yesterday I transfered some of my files from my First Laptop to my Second Laptop. [Not because something wouldn't work, its my Second is 2.0GB Faster, though Windows XP would give me less trouble. All I would have to do is switch the DDR3 RAM from the Second into First and my First Laptop becomes 3.0GB Faster...I could, but then I would have to transfer the payload again.]
I was trying to play DEF JAM - Fight for New York and was getting large blacks columns, so of course I tried different plugins I found out there is another plugin and I think this setting that the other GS plugin I suggested didn't have may be able to solve your problem.

Try This Plugin
GS: GSdx 4600 (MSVC 15.00, SSE2) 0.1.16
-Settings-
Renderer: Direct3D10 (Hardware) OR: Direct3D9
Interlacing (F5): None [Note: Its for shaking & etc]
-D3D Internal resolution (can cause glitches)-
Original PS2 resolution : Checked
-Hardware Mode Settings-
Allow 8-bit textures: Checked

Do do not be afraid to change the resolution settings because it maybe that the "Allow 8-bit textures" options is what allowed me to see the menu. Uncheck Native > or Use Scaling: Choose "Custom" > Enter in Pixel by Pixel to change Resolution [640x640, 800x600, 1024x768, 640x480, etc]

Could I get a warning ahead of time [To: Admins & Mods], have what I was going to write below with the vBulletin message or if a person is in the middle of editing the timer is paused. Back Button/Backspace didn't help and neither did the History. Also could I get that [1440] in Hours and Days.

Try This Plugins
Config > Plugin/Bios Selector
GS: GSdx (MSVC 15.00 SSE2) 0.1.7 [GSdx]
PAD: MegaPad plugin (beta) 2.0.0 [MegaPad]
SPU2: SPU2null 0.7.1 [SPU2null] for No Sound OR: SPU2-X 1.1.0 [SPU2-X-1.1] for Sound
CDVD: cdvdGigaherz (r4510) 0.8.0 [cdvdGigaherz]
USB, FW & DEV9: Default
