I cannot thank you enough man! I just recently got a pc and was completely lost on how to install and setup an emulator to play games from my childhood but now I can thanks to you! You're the best!

[@reganverses]

initially stopped by just for the bios- pretty familiar with emulators but hadn't done duckstation setup before- I really appreciate that you give complete newbies some decent habits on file organization! And I like that you explain some of your reasons for choosing certain settings- keep it up!

[@lspuria8440]

Literally all my thoughts in one comment

[@williamfortier7346]

Nice comment!

[@rosita3528]

Hey can I just ask, when you download duckstation are games automatically on it or do you need to get them separately?

[@reganverses]

@rosita3528 you will need to get the games separately. there are legal ways of doing this, but otherwise r/roms is a good place to start looking. make sure to read and search a lot before you ask any questions there though- ppl can be testy.

[@edas._.403]

you need to get them@@rosita3528

[@Mr.Meowgical]

Much appreciated, dude! I like this PS1 emulator more than ones I've used in the past, it seems less prone to problems.

[@squib2118]

thank you!!!!!! im totally new to all of this and I needed something quick and straightforward.

Hey man. This was the fastest and easiest duckstation install guide Ive seen on youtube. Thank you Brother. You made it a fun process.

[@VioletFoxSyndicate]

After getting the ps2 emulator to work by your other vid, I've sworn to only using your easy to follow vids to get a bunch of other emulators. Thanks so much for your helpful content!

[@anferFFmax]

I have to second this comment! He is doing an amazing job for the community!

[@thomassantos822]

I always had issues with emulators, and most previous channels were not explaining it very well so i gave up on it. But once i ran into this channel, i never realize how easy emulators are. UrCasualGamer is the legend, i would have never got into emulation if it wasnt for this guy

[@ebs777]

how well does the ps2 emulator work?

[@joeyt5427]

@@ebs777it works great, and his video on it is super easy to follow, definitely check it out!

Literally. I’ll only watch this dude for emulators

[@mohammadshahwan6966]

maaaaaaan that's what i call a full guide, you're a great teacher man..... much appreciation

[@ShamanWillYT]

agreed

[@PantherJaguar]

Your tutorials are some of the best and easiest ones I have ever seen. Thank you so much!

[@ILikeSoda229]

Once again another amazing tutorial! Very clear and precise 👌

[@tom-dr8co]

this is one of the best guides ive ever seen on youtube. concise and accurate. thank you.

[@pie-vd5qq]

Thanks my man, always providing the best videos about emulation!

[@Xqrement]

Thank you man! All working nicely, currently playing Gran Turismo 2. Great memories with this game.

[@deejones8552]

How you get the bios to work? I extracted it but not working

[@leoofchild8039]

TYSMMM! This is so newbie-friendly which is what I needed. This is the 3rd tutorial I followed but the only one that worked. I can finally play Silent Hill!

[@ShandellJames]

No problem

[@ashtonruby7387]

Very helpful, thank you! Also, I'm happy to see Tomba! in there :)

[@mechaguychungus1696]

Thank you UCG! Just followed the video and I was able to run my Duckstation. :D

[@joeyg.p9621]

Just a heads up, the bios link doesn't work.

[@ostracized_child]

Thanks for the video. Helped me get up and running. :)

[@JC-hi8fk]

Thank you so much man I couldn’t figure out how to get the BIOs working until watching your vid.

[@JoeBee9]

I completely overlooked this emulator until today. People asking on reddit about problems regarding EPSXE were literally being told that the best fix is to just switch to Duckstation. I've been using EPSXE since v1.0.0 and sadly it really is time to retire it. I love how Duckstation can alter controller inputs without having to exit the game (as the settings are not locked during runtime with this emulator). The ability to pick your game from a menu is nice too rather than using File->Run ISO every time.

[@MarjukkaHeikkinen1912]

Thank you so much for this and the PCSX2 tutorials. I just recently went to MAGWest, the west coast spin-off of MAGFest, and I was taking a trip down memory lane while playing the PlayStation games they had there. My OG PSX and PS2 no longer works, so this is a great alternative.

[@TheBriandiaz1989]

the link worked for you? i typed in on google search bar but didnt work

[@AdrianoVDV]

Thank you, dude! I was looking for a PS1 emulator and founded your video. +1 subscriber.

[@reyruiz8484]

A little outdated on the setup and not having much experience myself in emulators it took much more than a simple "follow along". Best instructions by far but definitely have to use some figuring out on your own.

[@MultiPokemonlover3]

Thank you so much for your tutorials, I would never be able to emulate stuff w/o these vidoes

[@12TwelveXII]

Great job, love vid. Short to the point, step by step.

[@RevengerPhoenix]

Thank you for the amazing guides!

[@kingjohn3fr]

Very clear (like always). Thanks!

[@LtFOXAWESOME]

thank you! you're a lifesaver

[@Vrinara]

Hey man I just wanna thank you for this. My EPSXE emulator won't work on my new computer so I had to look for an alternative. I really like that you got to the point and didn't mess around like some do. You just earned yourself a new subscriber =)

[@TorontoTondo]

yo is duckstation still good? i read comments it's laggy thanks for reading.

[@Vrinara]

@@TorontoTondo I haven't had any lag with mine. but I have a decent computer, So might be why I haven't experienced any lag.

Worked great, thanks a lot for the help. I used to use emulators a lot but I'm a few years out of practice and apparently everyone uses Duckstation these days. Thanks for catching me up

Thanks my dude. Your tutorials are always so much better than anything else on the net. Plus you got that smoooooth voice lol (nohomo)

[@maltymaltes9204]

Thank you man, you really made it easy to understand

[@LAIRDO-]

Thanks for this!! This could be really helpful!! I've never even heard of 7-zip until now. I just want to play my favorite PS1 game, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (and possibly 1000's of other games too!). By the way, WinZip should be FREE on every PC but, you know...$$$

[@farmageddon2978]

Thanks for the tutorial on setting up as this requires a third party bios set up! Thanks for being detailed and bringing back some old nostalgia to my life. Going to play all the ps1 games I played as a kid like: Metal Gear solid 1, Final Fantasy 7-9, legend of dragoon (amazing rpg) and many others :) Was hoping you would include a site to get roms for duckstation as some might not work as well as others. would of been nice to have been guided to a lefit spot to get roms for ds

[@K_Izaaa]

Thanks for the tutorial, it helped me a lot. Love this emulator, it's easy to use and it is really cool. :D

The duck zip file is no longer available for download

So why can't it play zip files???

[@brick343X]

Sadly I'm stuck on the bios part...anyone got any hints?

[@sonicthejetsetbeat7465]

Thanks for posting this broski I forgot to ask. Did you ever played any Need For Speed Series on PSone when you was little bro?

[@mooli7777]

I have a problem where when I'm playing on a Keyboard, certain key inputs get stuck even though ive let go of the key, and it stays on until I press the key again, so sometimes I just keep going left or right, or keep performing a certain action etc. Duckstation is the only emulator it happens on and I'm unsure how I can fix it.

[@joshuawoodson6620]

I am downloading the bios file, but when I extract it I am not getting the same result as you are. No new icon pops up. All my steps leading up to the extraction work fine, this is the only difference and I don't know why.

[@user-rj3lp6dd5i]

I get to the download bios part. But when I extract it, it's just a BIN file. Any help available?

[@cutie_boop]

the link doesnt work anymore

[@strumminandwrenchin9162]

I have the latest duck station for windows 10 and it doesn't have that dual shock controller option on the menu. I'm using a generic PS2 controller I bought from Amazon

[@sux0r]

amazing guide, so thank you very much! I noticed the latest DuckStation does not include the duckstaiton-nogui-x64-releaseltcg file. Is there anyway with the latest DuckStation to get it to work this way?

That link to the playstation bios is not valid. There is no download link on that page.

any idea why I wouldn't be able to access that website to download the bios? thanks

extracting the bios file to 7zip doesnt seem to do anything for me

Been following this guide but get stuck when it comes to extracting the bios file, my computer keeps saying 'cannot open file as archive'? Anyone know how to fix this? Up until that point everything was going smoothly. Would love to get this up and running so any help is appreciated :)

[@gullpayne]

Perfect thank you

[@Kaylum_H]

A tip if you want to make the emulator portable. Create an empty file named portable.txt in the same directory as the DuckStation executable.

[@invalidletterdept2662]

When I extract Duckstation, the files extracted are missing some you show from your duckstation video. The. I tried to extract the BIOS that you showed, and when it extracts to the desktop it shows a file or a folder looking thing and yours extracts as a triangle logo. Then it doesn’t run when I follow the steps. Any suggestions? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@ARCADER_RAPPER]

I could not recognize my Mad Catz brand PS3-PS4-PC compatible Arcadetic, I could not recognize the PS3 joypad as well. Is there a setting? Also, how do we cheat in emulation?
