Hello, let me start off first by saying that I'm a bit of a noob at these things, so please dumb down the information for me a bit.

A while back (April, I think) I downloaded PCSX2 and set it up. I never used it, just grabbed my BIOS from my PS2 and created some ISOs of my games, one of them being Final Fantasy X. My sister went down to Florida about 3 days ago, and I let her take my PS2 and FFX with her, because she had not beaten it yet and really couldn't wait.
Naturally, I let her take it because I already had an Emulator and ISO ready for play (or so I believed). Today, I went to go run FFX's ISO. It started up with some shaking that I quickly fixed by pressing the F5 button. I was so excited to be able to play FFX on the computer (I'm wierd like that ), but I was immediately dissapointed with the results; the game did not load! I am stuck at the 'Browser and System Configuration' screen seen on a typical PS2.
I have looked through various forms, searching for answers, but I only found basic configuration info. Finally, while I was on the verge of insanity, I decided to post in the PCSX2 forms for some help. Can anyone help me get past this screen?! It's image is permenantly burned into my retinas from staring at it for hours, waiting for a bright idea to come along.
Please leave a quick reply!

Make sure your CD/DVD plugin is configured correctly, and hit File -> Run CD/DVD.

If the problem is more complicated, we'll need your pcsx configuration.

Right now, I'm using Linuz Iso CDVD 0.8.0 for the plugin. File -> Run CD/DVD as well as Run -> Execute both do not work, and they also yield the same result. Do you have a recommendation for changes?

Post your full emulator specs. This includes the settings on the CPU menu, as well as the individual plugins themselves. Screen shots are the best way to do this.

Also post your system specs.

Between those two sets of information, someone should be able to figure out what is going on, as FFX is one of the most compatible games for the emulator.

Also, did you use a program like ImgBurn to make your ISO or did you just try to copy/past the contents of the game onto your hard drive?

Is this it?

Well, I needed to know what the individual settings were for each plugin. I also need to know your graphics card.

I can tell you right now though, that Pentium D is going to be pretty weak for emulating.

Weak as in not able to do it, or as in the speed will be low? I don't care about the speed much, just enough to be able to use it.

It will be able to run it,but pretty slowly. Your graphics card is weak as well,so don't expect any kind of playable speeds

Yeah, it's an old computer, and I haven't updated the video cards yet, but I might. Do you guys have any reccomendations for someone on a budget?

I'd get the cheapest Core 2 Duo I could find with a 9600GT
