How to run emulator

[spudnik]

Hi, I am new here, and new to this form of emulation.

I downloaded your emulator, and it worked fine, until I tried to run a game, then I got this:

Now, I apologise for this if it seems like a n00b thing to ask, genuinely I am sorry, but I am stumped, and I would appreciate any constructive support anyone could provide.

Thank you!

are you trying to run .img file inside your DVD ?
don't.
and follow this : http://pcsx2.net/guide.php step by step.

I am.. And thank you, I got something to run, but slowly. How do I run something away from the disc?

Create an ISO image of your disc by using a program like imgburn.
Then to run it with PCSX2: CDVD->Choose ISO, then ISO selector->Browse, find your ISO and System->Boot CD/DVD (fast)

Well you don't need to convert the DVD into an iso really you have to use the open elf in the file drop down list and change file type to all files and open the region code and thats all!

For example:
file type: all files
Drive D: SLUS209.09 <-open this

for images use Magic iso or something like nero

[Bositman]

Well if he wants to run it off the DVD disc, he shouldn't do it that way. Here is how:
CDVD set to "Plugin", Config->Plugin/BIOS selector->On CDVD choose Gigaherz CDVD->Configure it and choose your proper DVDrom drive letter and finally System->Boot CD/DVD (fast)

Thank you, very much!

It is running slow, but it is running!

Just if you want to know:
You'll need better GPU and higher cloack speed to run good. Use speedhacks and put native in GSDX settings.

looks like hes using a laptop, so i guess speedhacks and lower gsdx settings are his only hope.

Also the processor isnt very strong at all, so being happy with what you have is required here i think!

what game is it that you are trying to run?
