Help loading ISOs

[Garlic_Sauce]

Hey guys I'm new here and to PS2 emulation but not to emulation in general. I have used NES and SNES emulators for years. I'm having trouble loading games on pcsx2 0.9.7. I own Tourist Trophy and have it in my disc drive, I have made it an ISO with CD2ISO but I can't figure out how to load it. I don't have a PS2 system anymore so I can't dump the BIOS, my question is do I need the BIOS AND the ISO/disc? Or can I bypass the BIOS part somehow and load just the ISO? Thanks

if you do not have a PS2 to dump the bios from, then you can't use PCSX2 legally.

Yes, you have to have the bios. Think of the bios as the operating system for the PS2... Just like you need windows to play Crysis 2, you need the PS2 bios to load and play PS2 games.
