Setup Guide
Folder Setup
Copy your BIOS files to the "bios" folder inside the PCSX-R folder you just extracted
Copy your games to an appropriate folder
Unzip the plugin zip file
Locate the "nuvee_ps1_pad guncon1"
Go into that folder and then into the "bin" folder
Inside you will find a file called "nuvee_psx_pad.dll"
Copy this file to the "plugins" folder inside your PCSXR folder
Configure the emulator
Load the PCSX-R executable file to load the emulator, if loading for the first time the Configuration window will appear
If not then from the top menu select "Configuration" then "Plugins & Bios"
By default the BIOS and plugins directories will point to the corresponding folders within the PCSX-R folder and pickup the files already placed there. If you keep your files elsewhere you can set the path using the 'Set Plugins Directory' and 'Set Bios Directory' buttons respectively
