Troubleshooting

I can play P3F, but the game isn't loading any mods.

Make sure you clicked the Build button in Aemulus.
Make sure the Emulation Essentials package is enabled in Aemulus.
Make sure you're not launching the game through PCSX2.
- In order to play P3F with mods, you must launch the game through Aemulus or one of the shortcuts in the P3F Mods folder.

Why is P3F running slowly when I can play other games just fine?

Emulation isn't the same as playing a game made for the PC.

Your PC isn't running P3F the way it runs native Windows games; it's pretending to be an entire PS2 console running P3F. This adds a massive CPU overhead compared to playing a native PC game.

Check out the page for some tweaks that can improve performance.

I can't access my flash drive's contents in uLaunchELF.

Make sure your flash drive is formatted as FAT32.
Some USB 3.0+ drives are not compatible with the PS2.
- Try a different flash drive - a USB 2.0 drive is ideal.

This error occurs when PCSX2 can't find your BIOS file(s).

Double-Check

Did you remember to run CEP-o-matic?
Are your BIOS file(s) in the P3F Mods\Files\bios folder?

Manually Select BIOS

If you've double-checked and PCSX2 still can't find your BIOS, try this:

Open your P3F Mods\.PCSX2 folder and launch pcsx2-qtx64-avx2.exe.
Select Settings > BIOS to open the BIOS Settings.

Make sure the BIOS Directory setting at the top of the page is pointed to your P3F Mods\Files\bios folder.
- If it isn't, click Browse... and select your P3F Mods\Files\bios folder.

Make sure your BIOS appears in the Bios Selection menu in the middle of the page.
- If your BIOS is there, click on it to make sure PCSX2 sets the correct file path.
- If your BIOS is NOT there, it is incomplete or corrupt; see below.
