PCSX2 displays black screen

Super User Asked by Kasper Knudsen on November 4, 2021

I have downloaded PCSX2 version 1.0.0 for Windows from the PCSX2 team’s official site, http://pcsx2.net/. I own a PS2 and I have installed PCSX2 with a bios. I want to play the PS2 game “DragonBall Z – Budokai 3”, but I am experiencing a black screen when I try to play it. My configurations are standard.

At startup pcsx2-r5350.exe creates a program log. It says:

I have used ImgBurn, http://www.imgburn.com/, to create an .iso file so I can play the game without the disc. When I use “Boot CDVD (full)” the screen goes black and the intro sound plays. “Boot CDVD (fast)” makes just the screen go black. The program log, “Boot CDVD (full)”, disc, says:

Since the problem can be the video, I have tried to change the renderer,

"Config" > "Video (GS)" > "Plugin Settings..." > "Renderer:",

from the default, Direct3D9 (Software), to all of the other options, but nothing helps.

Any help will be appreciated.

Sometimes the problem is with the PCSX2 adapter you are using. Try to test all the adapters and check if it works.

You can change your adapter in: Configuration > Video > Plug-in Configuration > Adapter

My problem was similar, but it was with a different game: Jak X Combat Racing. This game has a lot of bugs on PCSX2, but I solved the black screen problem with this steps:

  1. Check if your Jak X Combat Racing is PAL or NTSC version.

  2. Download THIS .npach file for PAL or THIS for NTSC.

  3. Put the files on cheats folder (Documents -> PCSX2 -> cheats)

  4. Open PCSX2 and enable cheats (System -> Enable cheats)

  5. Open your game and enjoy!
