Hi,

So I'm new here but not new to PCSX2 and recently I upgraded my system (PC specs in my sig)

I'm at "First Time Configuration" and whenever I select GSdx 4600 (MSVC 15.00, SSE41) 0.1.16 or (MSVC 15.00, SSE3) 0.1.16 - I get this message.

"The selected GS plugin failed to load.

Reason: The plugin reports that your hardware or software/drivers are not supported"

(Posted the pull message as an attachment/sceenshot)

I've tried reinstalling PCSX2 a few times (in C:\Program Files, in C:\Program Files (x86) and just C:\) - just get the same results unless I use SSE2. Can anyone help or give advice?

Thanks in advance.
yes your cpu only support SSE2, that is point of reason for your problem.
Ok Then update your DirectX from here DirectX Redistributable.

And download this PCSX2. Install Microsoft Visual c++ Runtime 2010 x86.
and addition to avoid confict of blocking access to the other system files of pcsx2 just install it outside program files,users,windows folder
e.g.
c:\pcsx2

I have the latest DX and redistributables, it's the 2nd or 3rd thing I do after doing a fresh install of Windows (Windows, drivers, updates (DX9, Visual++, .NET 3.5/4.0 etc) which I did a couple of days ago. The link to the alternative PCSX2 keeps giving me a error 404. O.o

Yeah, I tried that since it's usually a fix for other programs/software

Guess I'm stuck with SSE2 then. Thanks for the help everyone, it's truly appreciated. =)
Now try the Alternative PCSX2 Link. It was a typing error and is fixed now.

PCSX2 Correct SVN

You need to have DirectX 11. Search for d3dx11_43.dll, d3dx10_43.dll and d3dx9_43.dll in your Windows/system32 or 64 Directory.

Just tried it, same result. Like I said, looks like I'm stuck with SSE2 since the Phenom II's have different instruction sets. DirectX 11 is baked into Windows 7 and so both of the system32 and SysWOW 64 directories contain those files.

Thanks for the help regardless. =)

no they aren't actually. those files are included with the June 2010 DirectX redistributable, meaning some other application installed them prior.
