..:: PCSX2 Forums ::..

Hi I've been trying to get this program running for the past few days with very little luck. I'm beginning to wonder if the download i used had some .dll files missing. To start off this is what I am experiencing, when i start the program it promts me to configure the plug-ins and set my bios information. I do all that and click ok and it pops up an error message: An unhandled or unrecoverable exception occurred, with the message: Bad allowcation. Pcsx2 will now close. More details may be available via the emulog.txt file.

This is my emulog.txt file.

I hope that I've included all the info that is needed to help troubleshoot this problem. Please help, and thanks in advance.

Run as Admin (Right click the .exe)

Thanks for the suggesttion but I get the same error message even after deleting the pcx2.inis file

Bad allocation ususally has something to do with memory, but something tells me it's not about that. You know what? Seeing as you don't have a bios (as the folder is empty) there's a very very slight chance it's that, so rip your bios from your dearly PS2's heart and try with that in the bios folder.

Thanks for the help but I found a way around my problem. I think I downloaded a bad verison or is was for linux or something. I downloaded the installer and I was able to get past the configuration step. Sorry to have botherd you guys.
