What Is A PCSX2?
PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.[1] The main bottleneck in PS2 emulation is emulating the multi-core PS2 on PC x86 architecture. Although each CPU can be emulated well, getting the synchronization and timing between them to be accurate is very difficult.
So Now I Will Show You How To Use This Emulator in your PC.
Hint: This may harm your system. so make sure that your pc had meet the minimum requirements.

RAM: 2gb ram or more (pcsx2 only needs 2 gb of ram .... for now)

Configuring the video:
I prefer you to use gsdx plugin for video. this is the most compatible plugin almost for any pc. This plugin will allow you to choose with respective of your direct x version.
NOTE: directx 9 is for xp and 10 for vista. . so choose according to your OS.
First you have to choose which type you are rendering. if you have a graphics card greater than 512 MB use "Hardware". and if you dont have graphics card select "Software".
NOTE: By clicking the software tab, pcsx2 will render the directx graphics. so better update it in time. .

NOTE: By clicking the software tab, pcsx2 will render the directx graphics. so better update it in time. .
After that, choose the shader version according to your pc. This one also depends upon the graphic card.
Pixel shader 2.0 run almost smoothly. if you want your gaming more smooth and with more graphics pixel shader 3.0 can be used. but this decreases your frame rate.
Next of all, the option "Interlacing" can be used according to your choice . If your video is shaking, this option can be used.
This Option will changes the screen size. your have to set it yourself depending on your resolution and your display.
This Option changes the resolution of the graphics of your card. If you choose "Native" , pcsx2 will apply the native pcsx2 resolution.
NOTE: For "Software" renderers, this option will be un selectable.
These 2 options will revert the errors caused when you are emulating the game. So check them manually.
Texture Filtering allows your gaming to filter more textures of your game. use it optionally as it decreases your frame rate.
And vsync is only for wide screeners. use it optionally.
Configuring the Sound:
For pcsx2, Sound plugin need not to configure.. just check the options i did. I Prefer you all to use SPU-X Plugin. as it is more easy to configure.
Now, there you configured Video And Audio.
Configuring the PCSX2:
Next Thing Is you have to configure the pcsx2. Check the options i marked. These settings will make your pcsx2 run faster.
First open pcsx2 and go to Config => Emulation settings
Next Select the EE/IOP Tab, and check the settings of mine.
Next Select the VUs Tab, Check My settings..
After that, select the next Tab.. (GS).
In This Tab, Use "Skip when on Turbo only (TAB)" first.
If the game is still running slowly, Use "Constant Skipping" With My Values ..
Select the GS Window tab, and check them.
The Tab "speed Hacks" are for experimental use. use them step by step and check them if your game is running slowly..
Finally, "Game Fixes" tab is for only for some games, check them if your game was included in it..
There you configured your pcsx2. Happy gaming. . :)
