so when you download a ROM directly from
the Internet it's going to be in a
format that needs to be extracted so you
can not simply take that ROM and load it
directly into your emulator and expect
to play it it needs to be extracted for
an example I have downloaded The
Simpsons Hit and Run for PlayStation 2
and as you see the type of file is a
7-Zip file the Playstation 2 emulator
pcsx2 will not recognize this ROM in
this state so what you want to do is
head on over to 7zip.org link to this
page is in the description below and
we're going to download this program to
extract that ROM if you are on an older
Windows computer then you want to
download 32-bit but most computers today
will be running 64-bit so what you want
to do is go ahead and click download
next to 64-bit
and your downloads should start 7-Zip is
now downloaded and I have saved it onto
my desktop now let's open it
you can't see my screen right now
because my user account control came up
go ahead and click yes to allow this app
to make changes to your device
destination folder this is where we're
going to install 7-Zip on our PC by
default it's going to try to install on
our C drive if you would like to change
that click over here
and go ahead and select wherever you
would like to install 7-Zip I'm fine
with it being on my C drive so I'm going
to go ahead and hit install
when it's done close
and now 7-Zip is set up and ready to
extract some ROMs let's go back to our
PS2 ROM Simpsons Hit and Run and now
that we have 7-Zip we can extract this
file now all you want to do is right
click on the file go to 7-Zip and
extract here
and your new file is going to be a dis
image file type which is playable in
pcsx2 so we no longer need the 7-Zip
file so let's right click on that and
delete it now this file here is what we
will load into the emulator now if I
bring up the pcsx2 emulator go up to
cdvd
ISO selector browse locate wherever you
have your extracted PS2 games at
and there's my Simpsons Hit and Run ROM
type this image file go ahead and select
it then go over to system and boot ISO
