First time trying an emulator as tricky as the PS2.
Anyway:
1) I op. Vista Ult 64-bit, so Playground will be fine for me right? TBL and VM blahblahs only matters to 0.9.5 and below right?
2) Whats the Bios version recommended for maximum stability? I know there's a process to rip it from my old-as-dirt PS2, so I';d assume that would yield the old scph-1000. I looked around, so-to-speak, and read that there's a 7004 bios; is that the one I want?
3) Going along the lines of 2, after ive identified the bios i need, what other files do I need to go with it? I know plugins are supplied here but am I just going to need the bios (like with pcsx) or are there some companion files to go with it? And what versions suit the latest bios?
4) Ehh... ill work my way solo from there. Its just hard to ID the starting files needed since im basically jumping into the ocean with no prior swim-training hoping to stay afloat XD Tons of versions of ***** exist Im sure, so it gets overwhelming x_x
Appreciate it.
P.S. That is what part of the alphabet would look like if we excluded Q and R. Also, yes I did do some searching around and commonsensed my way through the search engine, but that only shaved the q-list to the above 3.
To the fruities that got married over the emulator, all the best and congratulations (however late i am ^^).

P.S.2 (lol) Was reading around.. but i think im gonna stop cuz now im just confusing myself worse. In fact, am i in the wrong forum? I dont think i was even in the vicinity with the schp-xxxx question cuz someone in PG said their bios was 1.60US or some nonsense. Somethin about no 64-bit builds too... nyeeee
PS3 (woohoo) Sucks to be an insomniac. Anyway, compiled a list of what I think are the relevant files:
PS2 Bios 30004R V6 Pal.bin
PS2 Bios 30004R V6 Pal.MEC
PS2 Bios 30004R V6 Pal.NVM
rom1.bin
scph10000.bin
scph10000.NVM
scph39001.bin
scph39001.MEC
scph39001.NVM
SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.BIN
SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.EROM
SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.NVM
SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.ROM1
SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.ROM2
Now what out of those would I want? For US.
