pcsx-2-playing-ps2-games-pc
Please don't download anything from it as its just a fake imitation , only for reference , everything is available at piratebay .
This is a simple guide to run PS2 games on your PC if your PC is good enough to game on ...
Bios is required along with the emulator , u can grab that package from here
Selectively download only the bios folder from this torrent
I've included Bios dump of USA , Europe and Japan .....
Japan bios is preferred to use ...

Is a PlayStation 2 emulator that tries to replicate the PlayStation 2 console to enable you to play PS2 games on your PC.
Advantages over the PlayStation 2 Console
Custom resolutions, up to 4096x4096, Anti Aliasing and Texture filtering to make your old PS2 games look better than their HD remakes!
Unlimited memory cards
Save states, enabling you to quick save and load practically anywhere in your game
Easy cheating using our pnach patching system
Use any controller (PS3,Xbox360 etc) that works on Windows, keyboards and mice
Increase or decrease the game speed by using the built-in frame-limiter for fast grinding or passing hard spots by slowing them down
Ability to record in full HD with the built-in video recorder (F12 using the GSdx plugin)

If for some reason you can't get a controller and want to bind the controls with keyboard and mouse , u need to check this setting to enable binding with your mouse

PCSX 2 emulator also support Multitap feature of PS2 , u can implement it on your PC using a usb hub if you have less number of usb ports , remember here to use a USB 3.0 hub because , the local controller that i shared in this thread consumes around 100 mA , USB 3.0 should give 500 mA , means 5 controllers can be activated at once , Xbox 360 controller is not advised to use with the hub as its current requirement is around 300-400mA , Xbox one is 480mA ...
Go to config,,controllers (PAD) ,, Plugin settings ,, under Pads ,, check the box 'Port 1 Multitap' ,, now check your pads above ,, u will be having ,, Pad 1A , Pad 1B , Pad 1C , Pad 1D , Pad 2 ,, if i'm not wrong Pad 1B is now your 2nd controller and rest 3 , 4 , 5 follows from it ,, bind all the keys for the pads u require to use
Go to config ,, check Multitap 1 to enable ,, thats it ,, if u want to add more than 5 controllers ,, do the same for multitap 2 ....
