PCSX2 Support Returns to Linux!

[cleverselfreferentialname]

A lot of perhaps unintentional FUD has been floating around about the apparent ungoodness of Linux PS2 emulators.

Those who have an interest in the emulation scene might have heard when Linux support was discontinued for the PCSX2 emulator some time ago.

Well, now: it's back. And it works a LOT better now too. At least on the unscrupulous platforms. I haven't gotten it working on *nix yet.

the upcoming 0.9.2 release is looking very stable and after doing some research, we have decided to add support for x86-64 recompilation, both for 64bit versions of Linux and Windows (yes, Linux support is returning).

Source here. (http://www.pcsx2.net/files/4718)

I think you need automake2.13 also, which is in the repos under that name.

Now, I haven't exactly gotten it to work, *air quotes on work* but I'm sure one of my Ubuntero/a brothers and sisters can figure that out.

cleverselfreferentialname,

What problems were you having with it? Building, running, compatibility with certain games? I can't test it right now, all I have are PSX games (unless I can play PSX games on a PS2 emulator?), but I just got paid today so I might have to get a couple of games. Actually, just one game, FFX (listed as "playable"!). :)

how exactly do I compile this ?

[tenghoward]

Inside of PSCX2 Source code. :KS

In the main directory type:

aclocal

autoconf

automake

./configure [options]

make





[options] include



--enable-debug {Build with symbols and no optimizations}

--enable-devbuild {Build with extra tests}

However, when I tried to compile it, it gave me error. ](*,)

Making all in .

I'm having the exact same errors while compiling the source...

Try using automake 1.9

That explains it. ;) I will be waiting for the next release to come out. :)

Work has been silently progressing over in camp PCSX2. So whats going on?

Well for starters PCSX2 linux. Development for PCSX2 linux has gone extremely well, so well infact that several games already run on the developers machine and soon we betatesters shall be entering mainstream testing phase.

Almost there (http://www.pcsx2.net/)...

I can't wait to be able to play FFX and Dynasty Warriors 3 on my box. :)

It's finally done! I'm reading this in NGEmu:

A new release of PCSX2 is now avaliable! Penguin users rejoice, because this release is only for Linux operating systems.

Well linux users, we promised we'd have you back and here is the living breathing proof!

Along with this release you have a couple of new plugins exclusively!

* ZeroPAD - New pad plugin based off Twinpad, PADWinkeyb and SSSPSX Pad.
* ZeroGS OGL - An OpenGL conversion of ZeroGS. No more GSSoft for you

You also have available a 32bit and 64bit build for your pleasure, we do spoil you sometimes! Take note the 64bit version is far from finished!
The next release will be much quicker than the current implimentation... head over to the download section to grab it.

Read it for yourself here (http://www.ngemu.com/index.php?action=post&id=2152)

I'll surely check this out

If you are trying the binary version, copy libCg* in the base folder of pcsx2 to /usr/lib/tls I had to make the directory first. Then everything works ok.
