ok i finally got my playstation 1 emulator good to go, but now I have a PS2 and i love the hell out of my star wars battlefront 1, but the cd is getting old. What links, BIOS, etc do I need to get this one working? Also is this PS2 emulator good or is there one that is a bit more recommended? Keep in mind that like me, this thread, is for idiots , who dont know much and may need step by step instructions. Thank you yet again. =o)

:freakout: :clap: :wtf: :typing: :headbang:

ok i have the CD in there but the emulator tells me:
Error : File Not found
I've tried running the .elf file as well as going thru it and trying diff .iso related files. How do I get this emulator to recognize the cd? it brings up a second screen though thats all black.
