Now choose all the components that you need to install. If you're not sure what you need, just apply all ticks and let it install everything. For this tutorial, we're going to install everything. Don't worry if you may already have some of the components. For example, if you are running new games on your computer you may already have the latest versions of Visual C and DirectX.

If you have checked the option to install these items, your system will simply tell you that the programs are already up to date. When you've selected the options you want, you need to press 'Next' to continue. Now you can choose your desired plugins, and even change the configuration of the ones that can be customized. To choose a different plugin for GS you need to click the drop-down menu of GS and choose the one that you want.

To configure the chosen plugin press Configure on the right side of the plugin. However, our advice is that when launching the emulator for the first time, you should leave all the settings as they are. This way you can adjust and configure emulator settings for individual games better in the future. Click 'Next' to proceed.

After clicking 'Next' in the step above, the PS2 emulator will launch. When it launches, you'll be asked to select the BIOS. As the installer packages don't come with BIOS files, you'll either want to dump the BIOS from your console, or download from the web. We recommend downloading from the web, which is done by opening your favorite browser, and typing in 'PS2 BIOS'. This will return many websites for the BIOS file for your PS2. Unfortunately, many of the sites you find will have files with viruses in them.

We recommend you use a clean site, like EmuParadise for your download, or just search directly on the site, which we will now do in our tutorial.
