Hey guys, first time attempting to use PCSX2! I've run into a little trouble. I did everything according to the guides, however when I attempt to "Finish", I get this message:

Do any of you know of any solutions?
Thanks in advance,
Raikou.

create a blank portable.ini file in pcsx2 root folder, then try again

Are you admin on the computer?

I'm sorry, I'm not too informed on this sort of thing. Would you be able to elaborate? I'm not too sure what you mean. Thanks for your assistance too!

Yes I am, I have also "Ran as Administrator". Same result.

Er...
right click->new file->new text file.
and call it "portable.ini"

I think I did it correctly, however I am still getting the same result

this file must be next to pcsx2.exe
you only have a shortcut, here.

Okay, I did it and still getting the same problem

The portable.ini is still being read as a Text File. It's because the extension is still .txt so go to Organize, then choose Folder and Search Options, then select view, untick "Hide Extensions for Known File Types".

Now go back to the portable.ini it should look like this : portable.ini.txt, this is where the problem is, so rename it completely so it reads portable.ini

When you press Enter, Windows will ask if you're sure you wish to change the extension of the files, click Yes.

Hope this solves your problem

I did what you said, but it didn't ask me if I wished to change the extension, it just went straight to it. Same problem .
