After coming back from uni and clearing my room I found an old copy of star ocean: till the end of time (PAL version, I live in the UK). I really wanted to play it but due to owning a recent PS3 I wasn't able to so I set my sights onto emulation from my macbook pro.
I downloaded everything and open up pcsx2, it came up with that little box with File, Run, Config ect. at the top. I press run and the ps2 home screen appears (with browser, system configuration and ambient ocean sounds). So I take it from the emulators end everything works?
Now I looked around the internet for a way to make the information on the game disc into an .iso as apparently that's the only thing that can be run on this emulator. I used a terminal prompt (which is turned into a run script shell on automator so I wouldn't need to always write it out). The script I used was:
diskutil unmount disk2
dd if=/dev/disk1 of=image.iso
diskutil mount disk2
I put in my game disc, ran this and after a while an iso file was made. I then click run iso on the pcsx2 file and the windows appears showing the fps ect. at the top but then dies, giving a message on the terminal:

Sorry for the large amount of writing but I didn't know which part was important.
...also a side note which I don't think is important but I'll mention I designated a path for the BIOs but everytime I open up the config it says it can't find them and I have to manually do it, just wondering if that means anything or is the BIOs have to be placed in a specific folder.
Thanks
PS. If this has come up before sorry for reposting but I've been looking on the forum and haven't spotted a solution.
