Need Help with Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for PCSX2!

Hi! I'm requesting help with playing the rom for Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for PCSX2! I'm using a Mac if this helps
I followed a Youtube guide where I downloaded PCSX2 and everything was fine with that, and downloaded X Quartz to use it. Everything seems to be working just fine, I'm able to open up PCSX2 and everything, but when I try to open the file for my game all I get is that I need to insert a disc. I've configured it to the Bios that came with my PCSX2 download, I used The Unarchiver to decompress the .BIN file in the folder that I got once I decompressed the File-7 that I got when I downloaded the game, which I downloaded from here, then decompressed .ISO that was in the folder that came after decompressing the .BIN file. I go to PCSX2, configure everything correctly, then select File -> Run Iso Image... -> then I find where I have the game, click on the Jurassic Park Folder, then I can choose between the game's .bin or .cue, or I can click on the decompressed folder and one option I've clicked on, which I thought was right, was DATA.ISO, but it doesn't work! Please help me get this game running :(

After you first decompressed what did you end up with? The bin? that's what you should run. It sounds like you decompressed the actual image ie. went too far.

I can't even find it on any compatibility list and looks untested so it may not even work properly anyways.

However there is a PC version you could try to find which I don't mind mentioning since it's a 2003 game and falls within our rules of 10 year+ for PC games :nod:

You'd probably be better off with that as the requirements would be lower to run it too.

After downloading it it came as a .7z file, I decompressed that and got a folder for it, which inside of the folder had a .bin that I decompressed, and a .cue, after decompressing the .bin I got another folder that had a bunch of stuff in it like a data folder, and the DATA.ISO that I decompressed. I tried opening the game from the .bin and it comes up, but its just a black screen with the image of a cd in the corner that just keeps flashing, and nothing happens.
A PC version? Do you know where I might be able to find that? :)

Yeah the bin is what you wanted. It didn't work because of well who knows really ;) it would be a settings thing I guess. You could try to run in software mode and see if it runs. As for the PC version give me a few minutes and I'll upload it :nod:

Thank you! :)

Yup no problem. It'll be ready in a sec.

I'll edit this post when it's done :nod:

alrighty here it is


Now I just found an actual Mac version but the requirements are so low in the first place I don't think it matters anyhow :P

Thank you! I really appreciate it! :)
