so I'm new to PCSX2 and I finally have everything downloaded and set up right (to my knowledge) but everytime i try to execute or run a game i get one message that says "pixel shader version is to low" then another that says "the GS plugin failed to open/initialize"
the first time i got pcsx2 started it made me update my directx but now im just getting this and don't know how to fix it cause when i configure my graphics there is nothing in the dropbox for pixelshader.

It means that your video card doesn't support Pixel Shader 2 which is the minimum requirement to use ZeroGS/GSdx.
There is one really old version of GSdx which will allow you to play on pcsx2 but most likely you'll have a lot of graphical problems,crashing,freezing and a lot slower speed compared to the current GSdx

Actually I forget about ZZOgl.You can use that plugin even if you don't have Pixel Shader 2(he uses OGL)
