به نام خدا
عده اي در نسخه قبلي از اينكه اسامي انگليسي بكاربرده نشده بود شاكي بودند در اين نسخه سعي در رفع اين نقيصه شده است علت عدم استفاده از واژه هاي انگليسي در عدم پشتيباني از راست به چپ سايت كه سبب بهم ريختگي جملات مي شد بوده است .

: [Graphic] پيكربندي گرافيك

كارت گرافيك شما چه نسخه اي از رابط گرافيكي و جلوه سايه پردازي [Pixel shaders and DirectX] را پشتيباني مي كند. ( با تشكر از Nachbrenner) اين قسمت را چك كنيد. اكنون مي توانيد از پلاگين ZeroGS v0.97.1 بر مبناي DirectX 9 استفاده نماييد. كه نياز به كارت گرافيك با قابليت سايه پردازي نسخه 2 دارد.
GSdx at v0.1.14 يك پلاگين گرافيك بر مبناي DirectX 9 و DirectX 10 مي باشد كه در افزايش سرعت و كيفيت نمايش در حال بهبود است و نيازمند سايه پرداز نسخه 2 و دستورالعمل هاي وي‍ژه پردازشي SSE2 است. در حال حاضر بهترين پلاگن گرافيك موجود در اين نسخه محسوب مي شود كه توانايي كار با ويندوز ويستا و دايركت ايكس ده را دارد .

(Configure) GSdx v0.1.14 ييكربندي پلاگين

اين پلاگين در سه نسخه ارائه شده است. نسخه وي‍ژه پردازنده هاي SSE4 ,SSSE3, SSE2 كه با توجه به اينكه پردازنده كامپيوترتان قادر به پشتيباني از آنها باشد هركدام نسبت به ديگري سرعت بالاتري دارد.

چك كنيد : SSE2 پردازنده هاي
چك كنيد : SSSE3 پردازنده هاي
بشرح زير : SSE4 پردازنده هاي
Intel Core 2 Duo , E7xxx , E8xxx [dual cores] , Q9xxx [quad cores]

به منظور استفاده از DirectX10 شما به Windows Vista و كارت گرافيك سازگار با DirectX10 نياز داريد.

● تفكيك پذيري (Resolution) :
در صورتي كه تمايل داريد بازي در يك پنجره نمايش داده شود بايستي گزينه "Windowed" را از ليست مربوطه انتخاب كنيد و جهت نمايش بازي به صورت تمــام صفـحـه بايستي تفكيك پذيري و سرعت بازسازي صفحه (resolution/refresh) را نيز تعيين نماييد.

● مولد گرافيك (Renderer) :
اين قسمت نحوه توليد تصاوير گرافيكي را تعيين مي كند

با انتخاب گزينه "(Direct3D9 (Hardware" از توانايي سه بعدي كارت گرافيك (Direct3D) براي ترسيم تصاوير استفاده خواهد شد همچنين در صورت استفاده از "(Direct310 (Hardware" (فقط قابل استفاده در ويستا و كارت گرافيك سازگار) از توانمندي سه بعدي سخه 10 كارت گرافيك (Direct3D10) در ترسيم گرافيك استفاده خواهد شد كه معمولا سريعترين مي باشد كه در صورت امكان استفاده از آن را توصيه مي شود.

در صورت استفاده از گزينه پردازشي خاص "(Direct3D9 (software" از توانمندي نرم افزاري براي توليد تصاوير گرافيكي استفاده خواهد شد كه به جاي استفاده از كارت گرافيك از پردازنده كامپيوتر استفاده مي كند و باعت كاهش بسيار زياد سرعت مي گردد و اما در مقابل سازگاري بسيار بالايي را به همراه دارد و فقط در صورت خطا در ترسيم توسط كارت گرافيك اين گزينه پيشنهاد مي گردد.

در نهايت گزينه "(Direct3D9 (null" يا "(Null (software" يا "(Null (null" مولد گرافيك را غيرفعال مي كند و در نتيجه چيزي به نمايش درنخواهد آمد اين گزينه در زمانيكه نياز به ترسيم نباشد مثلا تنها براي شنيدن موسيقي با سرعت مناسب يا سازگاري قابل استفاده مي باشد .

(threads) قابل استفاده اســت كه تعداد رشته هاي پردازي موازي
را تعيين مي كنــــــد كه در پردازنده هاي چند هسته اي با بيــش از
دو هسته سرعت بالايي را ارائه مي كند كه براي مـــــثال مي توان
عدد 4 را براي پردازنده هاي چهار هسته اي در نظر گرفت

: (NLOOP hack) اصلاحيه تكرار ●
اين قسمت مشكل بازي فاينال فانتزي 10 را برطرف مي كند
این گزینه اختصاصی تنها مربوط به همین بـــازی می باشد
كه بايستـي تنها براي فاینال فانتزی 10 استفاده شود

در صورت انتخاب اين گزينه خروجي تصاوير دوبعدي و سه بعدي
پس از عبور از فيلتر بهبـــود تصويــــر ، نمايش داده خواهند شد
كه به طور كلي با اعمال پردازش هاي خاص نرم افزاري بر روي
بافت هاي گرافيــــــك عناصـــر بازي ، آنها را بهبود مي بخشـد
(در صورتيكه در گزينـه سه حالته ، حالـــت اتوماتيك (خاكستري
انتخاب شود اين فيلتر تنها روي گرافيك سه بعدي اعمال ميشود
شايان ذكر است كه اين فيلتر باعث افزايش سربار كارت گرافيك
خواهد شد

: (Movie Capture) ضبط فيلم ●

______________________________________________

First Controller/Second Controller:

Here you will be able to use 2 plugins,Lilypad v0.9.9 and SSSPSX Pad v1.7.0

Select SSSPSX Pad v1.7.0 and press the Configure button.

You'll see a window like this (click to enlarge):

The second controller field is totally obsolete,since you can now configure both plugins from hitting configure with either plugin

selected in either First Controller or Second

Controller field

Now hit Configure to start configuring SSSPSX Pad:

Here,you simply press on each button's name and input the key you want to assign to it.If you want to clear a key from being

assigned somewhere you can click on the

respective button and wait until the "Timeout: " timer reaches 0.Then the selected key will be assigned to NONE again.
Click on the PAD1/PAD2 tabs on the upper left corner to swich from configuring controller 1 to controller 2(you don't need to

do it from the main configuration

screen)
SSSPSX Pad supports analog controllers.You can assign your analog axis in the "LX,LY,RX,RY" buttons.LX is for Left analog

X-Axis,LY is for Left analog Y-Axis,RX is

for Right analog X-Axis,RY is for Right analog Y-Axis
The R3 and L3 buttons are the buttons on the analog stick of the ps2 controller,R for right and L for left as usual.

Select Lilypad v0.9.9 and press the Configure button.

You'll see a window like this (click to enlarge):

Lilypad is a very advanced input plugin supporting keyboards,mouse,gamepads and Xbox 360 pads. Also it includes some very

handy hacks for use with PCSX2 like the

ESC hack or the Disable Screensaver option.
For a very detailed description about what each setting does and how to properly configure it,visit the official thread of the

plugin

HERE. You can also download the latest version from there or from our plugins

download section

Cdvdrom:

Here you will be able to select which plugin will be responsible for reading your CDs/DVDs or images.By default,PCSX2 includes

Gigaherz's CDVD v0.7.0,Linuz Iso CDVD

v0.8.0,CDVDnull v0.6.0 and PEOPS CDVD v1.3.0.
Note: Older plugins like CDVDbin or CDVDdraft will NOT work with v0.9.6 since they are outdated

Select EFP Iso CDVD v0.6.0 and hit Configure

Here you can press the Browse button to pre-select an image that the emulator will run.If you do that,then you will be able to run

the image selected by both using Run

=>Execute and File =>Run CD with the difference that with Run =>Execute you will see the bios at the start then run the game(just

like on the ps2) and with File =>Run CD

you will skip the bios intro and run the game at once.
Show configure screen when starting emulation: When checked,the EFP Iso configure screen will pop up whenever you

press File =>Run CD or Run =>Execute

where you will be able to browse for the desired image you want to run and press ok.If not checked,the plugin will run the image you

have pre-selected before pressing File

=>Run CD or Run =>Execute.
Show configure screen when restarting emulation: Same as above,but with restarting.
Get from Disc: This will pop up a new window where you can create an ISO from your PS2 disc.

Source CD/DVD Device: Input here the cd/dvd drive letter in which your PS2 disc is in that you want to create an iso from.

Iso file: Input the path and filename your iso file will have(or press browse and find it yourself to save you the typing)

New file compression: You can select a compression method you want for your new iso image file.No compression will not compress

it,compressions noted as "for speed"

are faster but make bigger images and compressions noted as "for size" are slower but create smaller images.

Multiple files(all under 2GB): Check this box if you want your image to be split in multiple files which will be each less than 2GB.Very

useful if you don't have an NTFS partition

that supports large files or when you want to split an image for storage purposes

Finally,press make file to create the image you have selected
Convert: This option lets you compress or uncompress images.
In the new screen,first select the image you want to get modified.
Then select the kind of compression(or uncompressed to decompress it) you want and finally hit Change file.The Multiple files

checkbox does the exact same thing as

described above.

Select Linuz Iso CDVD v0.8.0 and hit configure.

This plugin has the extra ability of compressing your images to save you disk space apart from running your images for the

emulator.
Click Select Iso to select the game image you want to run/compress.Once you've selected an image you can either close the

config window so you can run it or

press "Compress Iso" to compress it.If you selected an already compressed image you can also select "Decompress Iso" to

decompress it.
Under "Compression Method" you can select either ".Z - compress faster",which will compress your image faster but make

it larger or ".BZ - compress

better",which will compress your image slowly but make it smaller.
Under Options you can check/uncheck "Enable Block Dump=>'block.dump'".When checked,this option will create a

block.dump file in the PCSX2 root folder(where

pcsx2.exe is located) from the game you ran.This file is like a small iso,which is mainly used for debugging.It will store the sectors

read during the execution of the game you

ran,so after you will be able to load the file(using "select iso" of Linuz Iso CDVD) and run it without any image/cd/dvd.Note that if the

game will try to read any other sectors

from the ones not included in the dump file,it will obviously stop responding.
Press ok to save your changes

Select EFP Polling CDVD v0.4.0 and hit configure.

This plugin is pretty simple in it's configuration.Simply type the drive letter your ps2 game is in and you are done.Note: EFP Polling

does NOT support ps2 CD games

yet,you can only run DVD games with it

CDVDnull v0.6.0

This is a Null plugin just like SPU2null,meaning it simply does nothing.You should use this plugin if you want to run demos(via File

=> Open ELF file) or if you want to run

the bios only(via Run =>Execute).It doesn't have a configuration screen for obvious reasons

Select PEOPS CDVD v1.3.0 and press configure.

I wouldn't put this plugin's configuration here since Pete has all this documented but it seems no one reads documentation

anymore.
Interface: Here you can choose "Win9x/ME - ASPI scsi commands" or "W2K/XP IOCTL scsi commands".As noted the first

option is for Windows 9x or Millenium and

second option is for Windows 2000 or XP.If the option that is noted for your operating system does not work(eg emulator freezes

after you press run cd or you get an "error

opening cdvd plugin") simply use the other option.If neither work,try installing an ASPI layer like the one from adaptec.Yes it's that

simple!
Drive: Simply choose the drive letter your ps2 game is on.the plugin will auto-detect your cd/dvd rom drive letters.
Caching mode: Here you can choose how the plugin will cache the reads it makes.Each option has a pretty simple and

complete description besides it,so you

shouldn't have trouble selecting what you want.To ensure maximum compatibility I recommend using the "Read Ahead-fast,reads

more sectors at once" option.
Try to limit speed: When checked the plugin will try to limit your reader's speed to the value you select in the drop down

box at the right of this option.As noted it

isn't supported by all drives.You should not enable it unless you experience some really strange reading speed issues.
Don't wait until drive is ready: Does what it says,so if you have problems using this plugin try checking this to see if it helps
Check tray state: Do what it says and leave it off...
Try again on reading error.Retry count(1-10): This option when enabled will force the plugin to try reading the same

sectors again if it had trouble reading them

and returned an error.Leaving this enabled will not cause you any problems so just to be safe,leave it on with some normal value like

5(as it is by default)
Show message box on reading error: When checked a pop up box will show when a reading error occurs.You can enable it

to ensure no read errors have been

made or if there have been maybe change the try again value above to something higher to get a better chance of reading the sector

properly.

Select Gigaherz's CDVD v0.7.0 and press configure.

Pretty simple really,just select the drive letter from which the plugin will read the disc from. It will then directly run your PS2 game

from the CD/DVD you have inserted in

your drive
This is the only plugin that at least partially supports disc changing. If you have troubles changing a disc that is required by a

game try this plugin!

Dev9:

Here are the plugins that handle the HDD(hard disk drive) and ethernet emulation.There are 2 plugins included in the release

package,Dev9null v0.3.0 yet another Null plugin

which is exactly like all the other ones and Dev9 Giga-raziel which partially emulates the PS2 ethernet (HDD emulation not working).
Also there is a newer Dev9 plugin in development by NHerve,MegaDev9 plugin which is still in early stages but very promising.For the

time,it partially emulates the ps2

HDD.You can get it here.

Usb:

Here are the plugins that handle USB(Universal Serial Bus) emulation.The release package includes the USB Null v0.4 which is yet

another Null plugin and Qemu USB driver

v0.1.0 by Gigaherz.
In USB Null press Configure to get a menu with a checkbox where you can check/uncheck "Enable Logging" which will enable/disable

usb logging.As said,it should be used

from developers only.
Qemu USB driver was developed to work with Monster Hunter for the online play so it will not work with almost nothing else.Since it

emulates more than the null plugin,it

might help in game compatibility when you use it.

Firewire:

Here are the plugins that handle the Firewire port of the PS2.Only the FWnull v0.4.0 is included in the release package.There are no

other Firewire plugins available or in

development.
FWnull v0.4 is another Null plugin.Press Configure to get a menu with a checkbox where you can check/uncheck "Enable Logging"

which will enable/disable firewire

logging.As said,it should be used from developers only.

BIOS(Basic Input Output System)

In this drop down menu you will find your bios image,if you have one and have put it in the selected bios folder.Note that the only

LEGAL way of obtaining a bios is dumping it

from your OWN Playstation 2 console.DO NOT ask where to get the bios in the PCSX2 forum,because it's against the

rules.That's because the ps2 BIOS is a

copyrighted material of Sony and that makes its' distribution illegal,meaning NGemu could get in trouble if it was found out that we

were supplying people illegally with bios

files.You can find out if your BIOS image is valid or not by checking if there is a percentage besides it in the BIOS drop down box of

the main configuration screen.If it

does,your BIOS image is NOT valid.Also if it does not even appear there even after you have selected your right bios directory,it is

once again an invalid image.

Attention: It is recommended that you have all files for BIOS newer than the SCPH-10000.bin.You will probably be able to run

the bios or games without having them

but there may be a chance that these affect compatibility somehow.This includes rom1.bin,rom2.bin,erom.bin and a SCPH-

XXXXX.nvm file where XXXXX is the version of

your bios(eg SCPH-34004.nvm).This last file can be also created from PCSX2 after you configure your bios(set time zone,language

etc) but it's better if you have this file

directly ripped from your Playstation 2.Once more DO NOT ASK where to get these files,since they are part of BIOS too.

Here's a quick explanation about what these files do by auMatt:

auMatt Wrote:Basically the first jap ps2 had a single bios and the dvd player etc were installed on the memcard.
The Ps2's after that first model had the Dvd Player software installed in a seperate ROM (EROM) which is encrypted.
The ROM1 is an additional part of the BIOS that contains some extra stuff like ID's for DVD Player version etc.
ROM2 is the same really but I think only available in Chinese PS2's.
Hope this helps.

A new Bios dumper is already available that can dump your PS2 Bios,ROM1,ROM2,EROM and NVM.Get it

HERE

Note: For maximum compatibility it is recommended that you use a BIOS image different than SCPH10000.BIN which is the oldest

one.That's because with this BIOS there are

problems in memory card emulation and in other sections.

How to extract the bios files from your PS2: Visit PS2Dev and a thread

HERE

So now we are done Configuring all plugins for PCSX2

CPU settings

Next are the CPU which can be found under Config =>Cpu.You'll see a window like this(will vary depending on your CPU,click to

enlarge):

First,check the information of your processor that is automatically detected by PCSX2:
CPU Vendor: Shows the vendor of your CPU(AMD or Intel)
Family: The family your processor is in
CPU Speed: The real cpu speed of your processor
Features: Shows the features that your processor has.These are very improtant since they are used in PCSX2 for extra speed.If you

don't have some,you won't be able to

select some features below

Now there are various checkboxes you can check and uncheck.
"EErec - EE/IOP Recompiler": When this is checked,the recompiler for the Emotion Engine of the ps2 will be enabled,granting a

really big speedup.It's extremely

compatible,so you should always use it. Uncheck it and you are using the really slow Interpreter mode,which in some cases is more

compatible.
"VU0rec": Check it to enable the recompiler for the VU0 unit.More speed with this checked,but it tends to mess up more

often than VU1rec,so check/uncheck

depending on the game you are running.
"VU1rec": Check it to enable the recompiler for the VU1 unit.Will give a significant speed increase,but it will reduce

compatibility with some games although usually

it works properly.
"Multi-threaded GS mode(MTGS)": With this mode checked you will experience a significant speed boost in dual core/hyper

-threading CPUs.This mode can lower

compatibility in rare cases .Use it only with dual core/hyper-threading CPUs.
"Frame Limiting(FL)": Here are some new options regarding frame limiting and skipping. By pressing F4 you can switch

between the 4 modes while running a game

(the current mode will be printed in the console window if you have it enabled)
- "Normal": No frame limit as the description says,will render everything at max speed(frame limiter disabled)
- "Limit": Your good old frame limiter,although rarely handy in our case hehe.With this enabled speed will be limited to 50 FPS for
  
  PAL games and 60 FPS for NTSC
  
  games.Note that sometimes the PAL/NTSC region of the game might get detected wrong from the emulator,making this option not
  
  work correctly.
- "Frame Skip": See included description
- "VU Skip": See included description,might be buggy
- Detailed Settings: Here more advanced users can customize how the frame skipping will work. Description of what each settings
  
  does is included in the GUI. If you don't
  
  understand it,leave them all 0.

Game fixes

As the name implies,these are special game fixes for some games which for some reason emulating them requires something

special.Note that the team has no intention

of keeping hacks for specific games,these are there temporarily until a proper fix is found so they can be removed.
FPU Compare hack: This hack is needed because of the the limited range of floating point numbers defined by the IEEE

standard that the PS2 doesn't follow. Enable

it only for 'Digimon Rumble Arena 2'.
VU Add/Sub hack: This hack is also needed because the PS2 doesn't follow the IEEE standard on floats.
Enable it only for 'Star Ocean 3','Valkyrie Profile 2' and 'Radiata Stories'.

Speed Hacks

The new version of PCSX2 comes with a few hacks which you can use to speed up your games. Be aware that all these hacks

lower compatibility,cause bugs,crashes

and all kinds of unexpected behavior so use them with caution. Also note that these affect certain games only,so you might not get

any speed up depending on the game.
Emotion Engine Sync Hacks: These hacks increase the time an emulated operation takes, thus the task is easier to do for

your CPU. Anything other than default

can break your games, make them appear sluggish or make them start skipping frames.
- Default Cycle Rate: This is not a hack. Have this selected to disable the EE sync hacks.
- Use x1.5 Cycle rate: Moderate speed increase,small compatibility hit.
- Use x2 Cycle rate: Big speed increase,moderate compatibility hit. Also can cause stuttering audio in game videos.
- Use x3 Cycle rate: Big speed increase,huge compatibility hit. This will break most games,cause stuttering audio in game videos and
  
  even make the FPS counter report
  
  false values.
INTC Sync hack: This hack takes a shortcut in a known situation PS2 games do when they idle. Instead of doing the idle

loop it just jumps to its' end and continues

from there.
Can give big speed boosts but only in a few games. Very safe hack,it almost has no compatibility hit
Enable IOP x2 Cycle rate:

Miscellaneous options

Now to descibe what the rest of the options do:

File =>Run CD/DVD: If you press this the emulator will run the image you have selected in your CDVD plugin or will ask you to find

an image if you haven't selected one in

the CDVD plugins' configuration.If you are using PEOPS CDVD or EFP Polling plugins this will instantly run the CD/DVD of the selected

drive.
Note that this option skips the BIOS intro and runs the game instantly.
File =>Open ELF File: You can use this to run demos which are almost always in .elf format.
Also if you're getting a message like "This is not a PS2 game" when trying to run a game you can use this to work around this

problem.Press it and browse your

games' CD/DVD until you find(it's usually in the CD/DVD root directory) a file named something like SLUS_XXX.XX or SLES_XXX.XX

where XXXXX are numbers different for

each game.When you find it,select it and most times you will get around this problem
File =>States =>Load/Save/Other: Here you can load/save states after you've pressed ESC to return to the PCSX2 GUI

while running a game.With "Other" you can

specify yourself a different filename from the defaults PCSX2 uses.It is NOT recommended to load states this way. Instead you

can save/load states by pressing F1 to

save,F3 to load and F2 to change slot.
File =>Exit: Closes the emulator
Run =>Execute: This way you can run only the BIOS that you have selected in the Configuration.If you haven't

selected the CDVDnull plugin but another

CDVD plugin you will either get a browser window asking for an image file,where you should just press cancel or you will get an error

message saying "Error opening CDVD

plugin" if you're using the PEOPS CDVD or EFP Polling plugins in which case you will have to change them.
Also this can be used to resume the emulator if you have paused it by pressing ESC.
Run =>Reset: Simply Resets the emulator
Run =>Arguments: If you dont know how to use this DON'T CHANGE IT
Run =>Process Priority: In this menu you can select Normal,High or Low depending on the priority you want PCSX2 to have

in your processors' queue.This means

that the higher the priority,the more your processor will use its power to run PCSX2 and leave the rest programs in queue.Setting this

to High might cause problems so it is

recommened you leave it to Normal.The option checked is the option that is active at the time.
Config =>
- Configure: Will open the plugin configuration screen
- Graphics/Controllers/Sound/Cdvdrom/Dev9/USB/Firewire: Will open the configuration screen for the selected plugin respectively
  
  (graphics/pad/cdvdrom/dev9/usb/firewire)
- Memcards: Will open the memcard manager which can't do anything for the time being
- Cpu: Will open the Cpu configuration screen that we saw earlier
- Patches: Will open the patches browser.This will read all your .pnach files(your patches) in the /patches directory of PCSX2.Here
  
  you can create,edit or simply browse
  
  patches.
Language =>*Insert Language Here*: Will change the language PCSX2's GUI is in.The language checked is the language

that is currently displaying
Misc =>
- Patch browser: New experimental patch system,still not complete so don't use it yet
- Patch finder: New experimental patch system,still not complete so don't use it yet
- Check/Uncheck Enable Console: This will enable/disable a second window that will appear behind the PCSX2 display and is
  
  mainly used for debugging.There you
  
  will be able to see various messages that can help you identify a problem or when running a game what is being done each moment
  
  by the emulator.Recommened only for
  
  advanced users.Note that if you close the console output,the emulator will close with it.
- Check/Uncheck Enable Patches: This will enable/disable game patches.Patches are mostly used to skip game videos which
  
  are not properly emulated yet and can
  
  stop the emulator from progressing sometimes.Also more advanced patches can be used to increase compatibility but can't be
  
  created by normal users.
Help =>About: The about window.Here you can see who the emulators' authors are and some thanks.
Help =>Compatibility list: Will open the included compatibility list,where you can find and see if a game you have is supported and

in which level.

If you still have problems using the emulator,post your problem in the PCSX2 forums HERE after

reading the rules carefully

That's it! Hope this will be helpful to all the people who are new in PCSX2 and for some members who like to fiddle with options to

get more games working.
