Hey I don't know much about computers so if someone can explain the steps to finding, installing and actually using a playstation 2 emulator on ubuntu 12.04 that would be great! :) Again, i don't know any computer terms, however i know that 32 bit is what i have. If that makes sense.
Thanks in advance!
i havent triedit myself, I personally have only tried all other systems till ps1.
but I believe these might help:

PCSX2 is a PS2 emulator that runs on Linux (and Windows, as well). You can install the "official" pcsx2 ppa by opening a terminal and typing the following:Quote:

@thatguruguy, Cool, it worked! I'm gonna get Kingdom Hearts 2 on it later. :D
Please mark this thread as solved:)
Hi there, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I just installed PSCX2 (following your instructions). It installed just fine, no unmet dependencies or errors. But when I choose the ISO and run it, I get a blank screen and the UI interface freezes (so I have to kill it). Although there's no error messages :SQuote:

And no errors on the log window either, just "Opening GS" and that's it.
Do you have any idea what I should do to get it to work?
Just thought I'd mention that I got it to work in windows XP, but it was unplayable (slow motion kinda slow).

I have installed and ran this emulator with success! Thank you to thatguruguy for the easy console commands.
I, too, am having difficulty getting this emulator running. I have 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 and installed from the ppa. When I try to configure the graphics the only option is for GSdx. When I try to load an ISO it brings up the game window but it freezes immediately (it doesn't get to the playstation loading screen or anything). The only output in the log window was
I would like to try the zzogl plugin, but it isn't available from the dropdown, even though the .so file is in the plugins folder along with GSdx. Anyone have any idea as to how I can enable it or something?Code:HLE Host: Will load ELF:
HLE Notice: ELF does not have a path.
Please let me know if I can provide any more information. Thanks!
