Here, he has to select the BIN extension file from the file extracted from the BIOS earlier. He will be back to the import BIOS page as well as will select the BIOS he has just added. 

Now, the user of the AetherSX2 needs to tap next. Then, he will come on the game directories page. He has to click (+) in order to add the game folder. Here he will store PS2 games. After that, he will tap ‘Use this Folder’.
