Hi, I'm kind new to PS2 emulation, so please forgive me if I say some things that aren't completly correct.

My problem is I can't find a good video plugin to play my games with.
The main problem is I have Nvidia as a video card which is great with OpenGL and not so great with DirectX9 or ZeroGS drivers.
So I downloaded Gstaris 0.66 and the 0.7 release from this forum.
But, PCSX2 0.8,0.9 didn't recognise it.
It was only recognised by vesion 0.6, which is crashes in every other department (mainly sound, keyboard doesn't respond either).
I noticed this happend to allot of people but they solved this by using a different driver, which didn't work for me.
GSdx9 showed the splash screens then froze, nothing else showed anything.

Please tell me what version/driver will be best for me
Thanks in advanced.

I have seen in your profile that you have a Geforce4 MX-4000 128MB graphic card which doesn't support pixel shaders so that is why the GSdx9 0.9 crash.
The Gstaris plugin doesn't work with the PCSX2 0.9 so you can't use it.
The best thing you could do is to upgrade your video card.

Dang..

Is there any way to make PCSX2 0.6 playable?
It ran fine with GStaris 0.66 only the keyboard doesn't respond and it ocassionally gets stuck...
That would probably be the best solution for now.
That is until I upgrade my video card...

PCSX2 0.6 is old, use PCSX2 0.9 and buy a new graphic card.
But the best thing to do is to play the games on the PS2, rather then
upgrading your PC just to run PCSX2, the games won't be running at full speed anyway.

PS2 got broken :\
I'm not even sure what went wrong but I know it will probably
cost more time and money to fix than what it's worth.
That's why I tried switching to emulation. so much for that :/
I probably won't be buying a new graphic card in the near future,
but could you recommend one anyway?
Thanks for you replies.
