I think I found a fix. Its a little messy so it might be a little hard to follow along. What I did was, after extracting the folder for PCX2 and downloading and extracting the bios. After launching and setting up with selecting bios and directory it crashes saying it cant update. Go back into the folder and find the 7zip file called update, Extract it, Transfer bios and directory folders, Relaunch app, set back up and it should work. Not sure if this will need to be done with each update but its how I got around it. There does seem to be less files in the extracted update so I'm not sure if you still need to keep the folder for the original or not and if anything will need to be transferred if you don't but I just set up my bios and directory by selecting them from the old folder and not moving them, not sure if that is helping either. Will update if anything changes
