Needing a lot of help. [PCSX2]

[The Researcher]

So I download (from here of course) an .iso of Tony Hawk's Underground 2, and I insert the ISO into the PS2 emulator (I'm using PCSX2, for those wondering) and I launch the emulator. Within seconds of the emulator starting the PS2's operating system, I get the infamous RSOD. Not only did I get that, since I had my volume level at 32 (I forgot to turn it down) I also got the shit scared out of me when I got the RSOD. Creepy screen if you ask me.

How do I run an ISO on a PS2 emulator without getting an RSOD upon startup?


"Please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 disc"

not an emu user, but try these steps:
1, study all user documentation that came with the emulator package.
2, check for rom support and compatibility. (make sure rom is verified via redump.org. ALL emulators demand retail images by default, and possibly other custom dumps as well?
3, eliminate all excess processes in the background, keep av's and firewalls active.
4, should be first and foremost, visit the site the emu devs are based at and ask there also.
...
5, system specs are another useful piece of info, supply that upfront if taking it to the source.
6, to reiterate: check the rom you have is verified via redump, and it's also catered for in the emulator. (clarity is found in any docs that came with the officially supported archive.)

pos tiny keys...

None of those fit my problem. My problem was that my virtual PS2 considered the ISO an invalid disc and took me to the RSOD. It's like putting a PC game in a PS2 console.

Are you using the correct bios for the game? I mean same region.

[amiga1200]

and the problem is, you're NOT fkin READING!
above is also correct.
none of your issue is clear, and i don't mind getting banned pointing that out.
spell it out clearly, not mind readers, :eyesroll:
again, my first still stands.

Yeah, a USA BIOS from 2006. T.H.U.G 2 only got released in 2004.

The game had 2004 and 2005 US releases but that isn't relevant to your issue. It also had Euro releases in the same years (so PAL not NTSC-U).
2005 releases are platinum/greatest hits.

seriously?
did you check rom compatibility?
did you even read the documentation? i see no metion of that.
in fact, did you even do what normal folks do and take it to the source, where the emu devs reside, where it's OFFICIALLY supported?
i doubt it, and you didn't even spell out your system specs (they help) and if you're running your shit in administrator mode?
is the computer yours?
:sad:

Yeah, the computer IS mine, otherwise I wouldn't be using it right now. Now, unless you have help based on my issue, I suggest you take your complaining somewhere else, please. Thank you very much.

^^ mature.
well, added you to the list, as this is atypical of public forums, kids expecting mind readers to pull rabbits out of asses.
there's no further help from me on this issue, marked!

[The Researcher]

VV This is something that a kid does, not an adult. But whatever.

Can you post a screenshot of the file(s) of the game in question?

Restore PCSX2 to default, who knows it's possible too many settings were changed for another game maybe? And of course use the latest version.

Run as Administrator

Also booting cdvd fast for your boot option is always best.

Also a500+ please stay out of help threads if you have no idea what you're doing. Spamming these sort of threads is simply intolerable. You want to mess around by all means post in the Hangout, that's why it's there. You keep saying "the staff can ban me if they want" do you want to be? Because it will happen eventually if you keep it up.

See? Thankyou. That type of thing can be helpful

(The ones highlighted yellow I already have done and still got no result.)

Also, I can't post an image of the game's files because it's an ISO like I already said a bunch of times before.

I'll take a look at my settings and see if there's some response from the game.

EDIT: Ran as administrator, Booted the ISO in fast mode... RED SCREEN. Also I changed some settings around and... RED SCREEN.
