    Post PS2 Rom Help

    I am semi-new at advanced emulation, I have a ton of simple systems: playstation, N64, SNES, Nintendo, etc. But I have hit a speedbump when setting up a PS2.
    I downloaded PCSX2 and set it up to my capabilities. I configured the Bios, plugins, and controller options. But the ROM system confuses me. Download links provided by this site have multiple downloads, is there a way i can just make them all one disk to simplify it?
    Can I have a step-by-step-any-idiot-can-do-it walkthrough of how to get all those downloads into a playable game? Also, explain Mirrors please. It would be a great help, thank you.

    Guess you mean about files that have been splitted (since PS2 games are way too big to upload them as one file)

    Usually they're splitted with 7zip... so you need to install this program to extract them later.

    Then you download all the parts for one game...

    Once you have them all on your pc (make sure they're in the same folder),
    extract them using 7zip

    Mirrors just means that the files are hosted on two or more Upload Sites (Megaupload, Mediafire, Hotfile and so on...),
    most of the time they are exactly the same files so you can download them from both sources (to speed things up).

    Don' worry, it won't hurt... that much!

    I'll work on it and post if I figure it out, I feel kinda dumb for not knowing what to do

    Okay, I got all 6 parts to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, and extracted them all to an ISO type. Then I mounted it with DaemonTools Lite. No problem.
    When I started the game, the right side was completely blacked out, except for some glitchy patches, as I selected Memory Cards. I was able to get past the opening cinematics by skipping it quickly. But whenever I get to the main menu, after 2 or 3 seconds, the game freezes and the music starts playing super slowly.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    You computer might not be able to run the emulator. It takes a pretty good PC to run at a decent speed. Specs would be nice.

    That might work but I doubt you have the graphics card to run it.
