I am grateful for the hard work and dedication that the PCSX2 development team demonstrates. I would like to help the community by submitting a "Quick Start" version of the English Guide that I wrote. There are incredible features, but I have noticed that less computer savvy users are having trouble setting it up. For your consideration, I would like to share this with you. Please let me know if it could be used to serve the masses. This guide is being written to commemorate a long time friend and supporter of this project. Use it well.
