PCSX2 - Playstation 2 Emulator help

[Treyla10]

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)

i cant find a good BIOS site any ideas where i can get one? I tried the ones from this site:
http://www.theoldcomputer.com/roms/inde ... -Boot/Sony
but when i went to extract it said the folders were empty, and when i tried to double click them it said the folder was invalid or corrupt.

that file is broken i went to unzip with both my extract program and 7zip and both times it said error reading file. but there is a file in it it just wont let me unzip it into the pcsx2 bios folder.

ok had to reboot the computer apparently but now i ran into a real dilemma from what im seeing there is no site for ps2 roms. i have the pcsx2 0.9.8 screen up but without a way to find and play a rom dont know if it works or not. why does everything have to be so difficult lolz.

[gamfrkI]

if you have a ps2 disc you can use that

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.
