Part 2: Installing PCSX-R (Windows) using Wine
Step 1: Download PCSX-Reloaded for Windows
Next, go to to PCSX-Reloaded page at CodePlex and click on "Download Now" button on the right side of the page to download PCSX-Reloaded for Windows. If you agree to the software licence, and "pcsxr-1.9.91-win32.7z" will start to download:

Once "pcsxr-1.9.91-win32.7z" has finished downloading, double-click the 7z archive to unzip it.* This will produce a folder called "pcsxr", which we renamed "PCSX-Reloaded Windows" to distinguish it from other versions of PCSX.

Move the "PCSX-Reloaded Windows" folder to your Applications folder.
Step 2: Install PCSX-Reloaded (Windows) with Wine
Open the "PCSX-Reloaded Windows" folder that is now in your Applications Folder. If pcsx.exe has a WineBottler icon, double-click it. If not, right-click it and select "Open with -> WineBottler.app". The following window should pop up:

Choose the second option, "Convert to simple OS X application bundle with WineBottler", and click "Go".
The WineBottler "Create Custom Prefixes" window should appear. Because epsxe.exe is an application and not an installer, choose the "Copy only..." option, and click the "Install" button.

Once you click "Install", a window will appear asking you what name you would like to give to the Mac OS X version of pcsx.exe that you are about to create, and you will also be able to choose where to save the application.
We've chosen the name "PCSX-Reloaded Windows" as the name for the new application, and we've selected the "PCSX-Reloaded Windows" folder we moved earlier as the installation destination.

Once you've made the folder and named the application, click "Save" to start the bottling process, which will tell you if it has successfully completed:

That's all there is to it!
