[@WilliamNiira]

Umm... How do i get it working? Couse i have done everything but when i start everything it just says ''Please insert a PlayStation or Playstation 2 format disc" ... What now?

[@AntonisDiakakis]

Oke so everything goes well, until i try to actually start a game. This program called Zerogs opens and the screen stays white. then it just disappears and nothing happens.. What should i do? Personally i think its something in the bios..

[@WilliamNiira]

[@rickcarti]

[@HabbeningNetNews]

Can anyone help me out? I downloaded everything mentioned in the tutorial but when I go to click the icon (after installation of everything required) it does nothing. The icon bounces once and does nothing else. No opening, no force quit option, it just doesn't do anything at all, as if I'm not clicking anything. Anyone else with the same issue? Please help!! :(

[@F4ll3nGr4c3]

[@TrevorMery]

For some reason my PCSX2 wont open. I've downloaded everything and did EXACTLY what you did several times, but when i click the application, it seems like its turning on, but nothing pops up. No toolbar or anything. Can anyone help? I'm on Snow Leopard

[@TechHelping1]

at 0:10 what settings did you use in screenflow to make it look like that ?

[@shinkamui]

I did everything you said here, but instead of opening a window with the game, it opens a black screen saying something about bilinear code. what do I do?? please help. The game btw is castlevania curse of darkness

[@LivingtheMash]

Why is it that when I finally get everything else to work it tells me it won't load my game in the disc drive?

[@dalynthesk8r]

What if we have the newer 2011 Macbook Pro's or Imac's that dont have nvidia cards but the AMD Radeon cards?

[@sharnanpitcher6430]

Every bios I download doesnt work?!! The file wont open and doesnt have heaps of random stuff in it

[@lwingd3]

in order to get the mem cards working, you have to go to run/execute/browser and format the memory cards on the pscx2 program

[@oriamgonzalez6800]

mines the sound doesn't play & when it goes to the game(dragon ball z invite world) it goes in glitches and gray and says ''Text Display in English'' .____. please help asap i've been working on this about all day -.-

[@mindreaderomega]

Okay, this pops up when I activate the pcsx2 application: Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly? logout [Process completed]

[@forsakenkyo]

What configuration did you use to run the games running smoothly. I'm playing FFXII but I'm experiencing some slow downs but the killer is the rendering of surfaces. Some character look they just came out of a fight getting black eye and missing pieces of their armor. My specs of my MacBook Pro are 2.2GHz Intel Quad core i7 processor, 4GB of 1.3GHz DDR3 SDRAM, and my stronger GPU is AMD Raedeon HD6750M with 1GB of memory. I'm running lion so any advice would be highly appreciated.

[@MyRetardface]

when i download the bios, i only get a .bin file, i dont get the whole folder like you did, what do doo. Pls help me?

[@supxchip]

Every time i try and open pcsx2 it just bounces and closes. I have the cg toolkit 3.0 I have the bios I have xquartz What am i doing wrong??

[@TomWellingFan09]

For some reason, mine will load the ps2 dashboard or whatever you want to call it. Like what would show up if you don't have a game in. It says insert disk and I cant do anything else. Does this mean Im just using a bad Iso?

[@Azshmo]

I have tried reinstalling multiple times and every time it results in the same "Library not loaded: (path) Reason: image not found PCSX2.sh: line 2: 29919 Trace/BPT trap" What am I supposed to do?

[@yimyim1]

I cant get the bios folder... i have an icon on my desktop but it says safari cannot open. Need bios to setup config, help??

[@nbarrager]

could i connect a ps2 controller to my mac and play it like that rather than using my keyboard

[@LivingtheMash]

I can't get the nvidia thing or whatever its called when I get there it says file not found or something similar

[@slayerdude10]

it didnt work at all.. it kept saying i needed the bios file but it wouldnt let me locate one

[@famguyameridad]

i get the error dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib Referenced from: /Users/samuel.gernburd/Desktop/pcsx2.app/Contents/Resources/pcsx2/./pcsx2 Reason: no suitable image found.

[@JoelB3783]

WORKS FLAWLESSLY! I cant thank you enough. When my PS2 broke i missed all of my games(and i don't really feel like buying another one). Now i got passed the memory card problem!, Go to (Config >> Memcards >> then click on the box and select Memcard 1) Then run the bios without the disk. And format the memory card. And voila!

[@MrChewymango]

i downloaded all the downloads and put them in the unrarx...but nothing happens....wat do i do after i download it??

[@Gratefulme83]

why does this error msg keep coming up when i try open the bios "There is no application set to open the document “bios-1.rar”. Am i suppose to do something else?

[@Zolazora32]

Does it often run slow, fps slow way down? I hear on Lion (what I have) it runs like a turtle.

[@fighton1214]

When I go to run the ISO file, it is telling me that the specified bios file cannot be found. File not found Filename: /Users/jie4usc/Desktop/ps2bios/SCPH-70004_BIOS_V12_PAL_200.BIN What should I do?

[@ApexBovine]

[@ottosweden123]

The BIOS link you gave us do not work anymore. I have tried to find another link for Snow leopard but i can't find one... COuld you upload the BIOS?

[@SkilledYetTalentless]

What is there to say that the mac is either leopard or snow leopard, or lion? It's just I don't think mine is any of them, and if it is I haven't a clue which one.

[@mrmigo221]

[@AJ96228]

Could not open '(null)/plugins/' directory comes up with that everytime i try and select my BIOS file??? about to rip my hair out -.-

[@AJ96228]

HARDSTYLE SHUFFLER i fixed that issue by simply closing everything and reopening it, however now i try and open a game, and it comes up with the playstation loadup screen with the boxes and lights floating, then it changed to what is most long time playstation players worst nightmare, the RED FRICKEN SCREEN!! which mean you would have to restart it until it reads the disc, but every time i try it, it still wont work..... help!

[@essay1218]

@MrAlexeatsyou Yes, but x is used as "cross" in Lacrosse as LAX and Motocross as MX, but i guess it just sounds weird.

[@Tastaalex]

I get this message when i´m trying to launch Ratchet And Clank 2 Going Commando: The specified Bios file was not found. A bios is required for Pcsx2 to run. File not found Filename: /Users/Alexandersbruker/Desktop/bios/PS2

[@CripplingDuality]

There are PPC builds of Quartz, but PCSX2 was not designed with users of Panther and below in mind...

[@famguyameridad]

[@Dadedidedudadei]

[@Kuhny1sland]

I used Google for the BIOS download. Not sure if it works, but regardless, I can't find a bios folder? Can anyone link me to either a working BIOS link or tell me where I would find the bios folder (if this download even worked and made one)?

[@MandeshSth]

Every thing Done But It Hang on middle of the game...and the graphic it show damage pictures...

[@arma182]

Im havin problems with the video, i can run the game and the cinematics go around 70 to 80 FPS but in the gameplay they drop to 15 - 19 fps (impossible to play) can someone tell why? i have a MacBook Pro 13" Nvidia 320M ... how can i fix it?

[@TheGrassanaytor]

[@mysticsack]

When you configure your controller, must you reconfigure every time you play...?

[@xeonspirit]

Hi... thanks for this demonstration, by the way... dose this work in lion update? if so am going to try it .... thank you

[@kidchameleon7945]

i'm on an 8-core mac pro and this runs terribly (jittery sound and image, incredibly slow) no matter what i change the settings to. does this actually work for people? what am i missing?

[@AlCappucino]

You can use the mem card by formatiing it, all you have to do is execute the bios and format your MEMcard there..

[@maomaniarocks]

i also loaded a iso file and same thing it takes to the ps2 menu and took the to that insert disc screen

[@arfantizzle]

I cant get games to work. all i have are a bunch of .rar files and I cant convert to iso! I have a mac, can somebody help???

[@Vintageblackdog]

Ok i think i got it...its not a problem that there are only 4 or 1 files in the bios if you see correctly the one you always find is the 2004 version so it should be alright just create a bios folder on your desktop put whatever files you got from the rar and then select the one with 2004 and USA name in the config settings. Now my only problem is that i tried to play persona 4 but it looks terrible impossible to play dont know whats wrong though..

[@SlugmarTheWise]

hi, i followed your instructions on this video - but when i try to run game cds i get the message "Error loading /Users/alexeyvlasov/Documents/Games/digea.iso" ....it seems as if it's trying to access files from this person's computer that i obviously don't have! Can you give me any advice? thanks, from Natty

[@TheBarakaShow]

I love your background on your mac! Where can i find it??

[@djlyonol]

Hi! I'm on a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard. I did exactly all that you showed us, but when I run pcx2, I have nothing. No small window with pcx2, or config window. And I can't open anything in the "file" and "edit" menus, all is in grey... Why??? Thanks for helping... :)

[@dobbsie101]

your bios folder has 23 items in it.. i downloaded 2 off the net and combined them.. yet i only have 18.. where did you get your bios from?

[@sylvestersam96]

if i have the disk itself, like for kingdom hearts, can i just insert the disk into my macbook and run pcsx2?

[@skogis06]

the rapidshare link is down... HELP!!!! and the megaupload is just a VLC file what do i do?!?!

[@lynked3]

Hey when I download the games, they come in .rar not .iso so could you PM me what to do? Thanks.

[@RovakX]

and what if you use lion? the nvidia thingy is not there for lion :( does it still work?
