PCSX2

Save Files: Not uploaded yet

Step 1 - Download the latest PCSX2 Emulator Nightly Build and extract it somewhere accessible.

The "Stable Builds" are very out of date, and may cause compatibility issues. It's recommended to start with the first option (AVX2 - Qt) and try it out. If that option doesn't work, take the next option until one works. Unfortunately, this is a complication with PCSX2 specifically, and it depends on your computer.

Step 2 - Set up PCSX2

First, open PCSX2. It will ask you for BIOS files before proceeding. You can dump these BIOS from a real PS2, or find them from other sources that will not be linked here. From there, follow the PCSX2 setup instructions given on-screen.

Step 3 - Download the game and save file

The save file is currently not uploaded. Feel free to send a save in this thread and I'll add it to this post.
Once you've downloaded the game, place it anywhere accessible to PCSX2.

Step 4 - Add the game to PCSX2's ISO List

Click on "CDVD" at the top, go to "ISO Selector", and click "Browse..."
From there, select the ISO you downloaded.

Once you've done this, you should set your graphics and controller settings to your preference. This will help you run the game in a more comfortable setting, and isn't specific to setting up this particular game.

Dolphin

Game Downloads: Original

Save Files: Gamefaqs Archive | ZB Games Archive

Step 1 - Download the latest Dolphin emulator and extract it somewhere accessible.

It's recommended to download a development version, but any recent 5.0 version will work.

Step 2 - Set up Dolphin

First, open Dolphin and click "Config" at the top. Then, set the settings that are highlighted in red:

Set auto update to "Dev (multiple times a day)"

Set Memory Card Slot A to "GCI Folder"

The rest of the settings can be changed to your preferences.

Step 3 - Download the game and save file

The ZB Games archive is our own archive, but it is the same save file as the Gamefaqs Save File.
Copy the ISO anywhere you want, as long as it can be accessible to Dolphin.
Copy the save file to this folder: Documents -> Dolphin Emulator -> GC -> JAP -> Card A
Rename the save file to B2-GGKJ-GASHBELL_FP.gci

Step 4 - Set Dolphin Paths

In Dolphin, click "Config" again and navigate to the "Paths" tab. Click the "Add..." button and add the folder you put the ISO file in.

Step 5 - Game Config

Once you close the "Config" window, you should see the game in Dolphin's main window. Right-click the game and click "Properties". Uncheck Dual Core entirely (or set it to "Red" for Dark Theme).

Once you've done this, you should set your graphics and controller settings to your preference. This will help you run the game in a more comfortable setting, and isn't specific to setting up this particular game.

Dolphin Netplay

Step 1 - Open Dolphin Emulator and update it

If it doesn't prompt you for an update, try to check for updates manually. You can do this by clicking "Help" at the top, then clicking "Check for updates"

Step 2 - At the top, click "Tools" and then "Start Netplay"

Make sure the Connection Type is set to "Traversal Server"

Step 3a - If you're connecting to someone else

Copy and paste the host code they give you, and then click "Connect"

Step 3b - If you're hosting

Click the "Host" tab, choose a game, and then click "Host"

Once it's hosted, click "Copy" next to the Room ID section, and send that to the person connecting to you. The "Buffer" is how many frames of input lag you're setting between both players.
