I recently bought myself a new pc and immediatly installed the pcsx2 Emulator to play some PS2 Games. But when i started the emulator to play my game it just threw me into the menu and said "DVD Player is not set up". That was when I remembered that an actual Disc Drive is required to play the games in iso format but I didnt even include a cd drive into my new PC Build.

So my question is: Is it possible to use the emulator and play games without having an actual CD Drive?

Update: I got the Message when I tried to play the DragonBall Z - Bodukai 3 (Bonus) ISO but when I started a different game (Burnout 3 - Takedown), it worked just fine

You don't need an optical drive to run games from an ISO, I don't have one in my PC or laptop.

Which plugin are you using? Try Linuz ISO CDVD as your optical plugin and try again.

Are you trying to load the DBZB3 bonus disc instead of the main game disc?
