4) Common Troubleshooting

• ISO won’t boot in PCSX2: try switching CDVD plugin to "iso" or update PCSX2; test another ISO.
• Game crashes or graphical glitches: enable/disable speedhacks, try different GSdx renderer, enable/disable VSync, adjust compatibility hacks per-game.
• USB loader doesn’t see the ISO: ensure correct folder structure, correct filename format (some loaders require specific naming), check USB formatting.
• Slow performance on emulator: enable speedhacks, update GPU drivers, lower internal resolution.
• Burned disc not recognized: try different media (DVD-R recommended), burn at slower speed, check that the ISO isn’t corrupted.

• Pros: Family-friendly, detailed game info.
• Cons: Limited to one download at a time (to save bandwidth).

Piracy: Downloading ISOs from "archive" sites for games you do not own is generally a violation of copyright law. ps2 archive iso install
