How To Install PCSX2 And Get It To Work On Ubuntu

[CrystalDreamer59]

I'm using a madcatz xbox360 controller not a regular kind. I'll try the driver thing on page 2 but it seems a bit complicated. I'll also try what you suggested.

Hello,

If the drivers I post resolves nothing for you, please see these links;

And in case I did not post it a while back because I spazzed;

Otherwise, I would suggest getting a wired Xbox 360 brand. Or perhaps use a wired PS3 controller or a PC controller.

These links are too hard for me to understand. I'll go look for something else. By the way my controller is wired.

Hello,

Yes, it may be, but it is a Madcatz controller, so it isn't the same. At least not in my experience.

Go to this link: http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/

And follow the instructions below "Binary Package Download".

If that doesn't work, please follow this instead; http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i...oxdrv/download

Tell me if that helps.

I already have xboxdrv installed so I don't know what is wrong.

Hello,

The site should be able to help you with xboxdrv. It is most likely because it is Madcatz. The only solutions I could find concerning that brand of controller were the previous links concerning compiling and whatnot.

I just played a little but of a gamecube game on dolphin and both d pad and analog sticks seem to work together on dolphin.

Hello,

But this is PCSX2, so what works in Dolphin might not work in PCSX2 and vice-versa. I do believe development on PCSX2 isn't even being done any more, so it could still be unstable in the PAD plugins department, especially for Linux.

I really don't want to have to switch back to windows would it help if I was to get a different game pad. which game pad works best on Ubuntu.

Hello,

Well, I see a lot of users saying they are using a Logitech controller. Wired Xbox and Afterglow PS3 controllers work, too. I have personally used them. But you can check out these threads;

If you have a friend with either of those controllers, ask him/her if you could borrow them just to see if they work in the system.
