A prompt will pop up, telling you that “This path does not exist.

When the BIOS screen pops up, select “Open in Explorer” in the bottom right corner.

Review the available plug-ins included with the PCSX2 emulator and hit “Next.”.

You will start with the First Time Configuration screen.

Locate the PCSX2 install folder in your Start menu program list.

Now that you have the emulator installed, it’s time to configure it for the first time to make sure that it can run your favorite PS2 games properly. The PCSX2 emulator is now installed, so it’s time to configure everything before running your first game.Agree with the terms and install Visual C++.Leave everything like it is and hit “Next.” Select the components you want to install in the first pop-up screen.Navigate to your install folder and double-click on “pcsx2-1.4.0-setup.exe.”.It takes a ton of practice, but you can make it happen. It would probably be too difficult to manage along with WASD for left stick and LSHIFT for boost, but you might be able to map them to IJKL or something. Probably most notably, there are no right stick controls. It's more than playable this way, even though there are many key things missing. R is my reset button, matches with the select/view buttons.įor menu navigation, enter opens the pause menu, space bar advances the menu, and backspace goes back to previous. For English keyboards, I believe it would be LSHIFT. On my Nordic keyboard layout (not captured in picture), it's actually the < button. Whatever button you have to your immediate left of Z will be your boost/square button. Nosegrab would therefore be Z + X, whereas tailgrab would be C + V. Mute, method, stalefish and indy in that order. My Controls Setup (all keys with green drawings on them are in use)Īrrow keys take care of the corresponding left stick movements.

It's more than playable, not as enjoyable as controller would be, but it gets the job done as a last resort.

This is how I played the game when I set it up to play with keyboard for fun a couple of times/when I wanted to play SSX on a flight and obviously couldn't use a controller. Even the cheapest piece of junk you can get that's USB-compatible will probably be better than keyboard. Like Joey said, a controller is really to be recommended.
