Specific System Features
Custom textures
PCSX2 allows to load custom texture packs.
To do so you need to place the custom texture pack in the \bios\pcsx2\textures folder in a dedicated directory that has the same code as the game.
The texture files must be placed in a sub-directory called "replacements":
To get the code of the game, you can launch the game a first time directly from the emulator executable located in the \emulators\pcsx2 folder with the "dump textures" option on, PCSX2 will automatically create the game texture folder in the \bios\pcsx2\textures folder.
Once the texure pack in the right folder, set Retrobat to load custom textures, this is achieved from the VISUAL RENDERING menu in the Advanced System Options or in the Advanced Game Options menu :
Multi-disc games
PCSX2 does not support m3u usage for multi-disc games.
In order to swap disc in PCSX2, the following must be used within the emulator:
When the game prompts you to swap disc,access the PCSX2 quick menu by pressing SELECT + 
on your controller, select the "Change Disc" option
In the next screen, choose the right disc image and press
Change PS2 language
The language of the system must be changed in the console BIOS settings, this can be achieved by following these steps.
In RetroBat advanced system settings, turn ON the option to boot to BIOS:
Launch any game from the library, this will bring you to the BIOS settings instead of the game:
Navigate to "system configuration" and to the language option:
Select the language and exit.
This setting is stored in the BIOS file, when changing the BIOS to another version, this needs to be done again.
