Appreciate that, and it seems that's all the audience I have built here really wants from me, and the views prove it. I've tried branching out, but no one watched, so I will throw some tutorial videos in the mix of other stuff, and maybe the views will go up on my other content.

@@GoJohn7.62 Here is a link to the Playstation 2 Bios. As for extracting it. I use 7zip for all my extractions. Make sure you extract to (set file name and don't alter it) your destination. That goes for the PCSX2 and it's bios.

​@@XxDevilXNeverXCryxX Any chance you could help me too? I don't understand what a BIOS is

[@czh9773]

I always rely on you for tutorials, and this is another great one. I have one tip for you though. You don't need 7-Zip to open zip folders. 7-Zip is only needed for extracting 7z or RAR files, but not zip. Windows 10 and 11 both have a built in tool to extract the contents from zip folders. As seen at 1:11, you click Extract All... Then you choose to extract it to your desktop. Also, man I'm happy to see PCSX2 version 2! It's noticeably improved from version 1.6

[@boi__7898]

How did you extract the rom ps2 games

[@Green_Stache_Productions]

6:14 highest resolution isn't actually 8K. It's a 5K resolution that's the result of a multiple of an 8x integer scale of the PS2's native resolution.

[@UrCasualGamer]

Yea I noticed i said that after watching it back but didn't feel like going back and re-edit the video. But I think people will notice that 5k is the max.

Your tutorials are the best man. Other KZbinrs make 30 minute videos which could of been done in 10 minutes (like yours). I'm quite new to emulation so your videos have helped a lot. Can i just add that, when you've got to edit emulators in LaunchBox and PCSX2, by default the default the command line is --fullscreen and they've changed it to just 1 dash now but LB hasn't updated it so you'll get an error when trying to open a game through LB. You just delete 1 dash so it's -fullscreen and it works. Just a heads up incase somebody in the future is having the same problem. I've just spent about 40 minutes trying to find an answer on the net.

Just a tip, If you want crystal clear smoothed graphics you should go under internal resolution and set it to "4x Native" and turn on FXAA contrast sharpening to "sharpen and resize display resolution" you can also turn dithering to completely off to remove the muddy texture overlay, it looks absolutely amazing on my RTX laptop
