Language Options

[lorille]

When setting up my PS2 in PCSX2, the only language options were Japanese & English. Is there any way for me to bypass this and select French as my language?

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

1 question : when you actually boot your real PS2 console up (not pcsx2).
are you able to select french language ?

[lorille]

No, the console is Japanese and only has English & Japanese as language options. Is there any workaround for this?

[jesalvein]

You need to buy a French console

[vsub]

If you cannot do it on your PS2,you will also not be able to do it in pcsx2
You have Japanese console and USA(NTSC) version of a game
PAL games usually have options to select the language
