Not every game works. You can check the compatibility of a particular game by going here.

My advice would be to install the official pcsx2 repository, which is available here. Then you can just install pcsx2 from synaptic.

Scratch that. I just noticed you're running 64-bit. Get the following ppa, instead: https://launchpad.net/~micove/+archive/experimental. He includes a 64-bit pcsx2.

He/she should probably add this one instead:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/micove/console/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main

Edit: heh apparently I'm still beta testing jaunty and using interpid (should update that).

Hello,

I'm trying to get this working but I keep running into issues. I've looked here and at the PCSX2 forums but I'm still stumped. This is my setup:

Ubuntu 10.04
AMD Phenom II X3 2.8 GHz
GeForce 9400 GT

I was able to compile it cleanly using SVN but but when I start up FFX I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it disappears and takes the PCSX2 window with it.

This is the output when I try to run FFX from an ISO. If I try opening the disc it will give me a black window and then hangs, so I'm wondering if I have CDROM issues as well.

If I turn anti-aliasing on, this is the output:

This is the output from when I compiled PCSX2:

Just for grins I tried running the Windows version on a virtual host. It crapped out and told me I didn't have enough resources. I guess that's what happens when I only give it one core to play with!

Please let me know if more information is needed. TIA for helping a newbie!

Post the terminal in/out-put. Without it we can't know what you're talking about.

I installed PCSX2 0.9.8 thanks to this PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~gregory-haina...2.official.ppa

Had to install libsoundtouch1c2 prior to this (grabbed a .deb for Lucid here : http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libsoundtouch1c2 since it's required and not included in Ubuntu's 11.04 repositories)

Everything installed fine, and the application does run.
However, I do have some performance issues.

Hardware:
- CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 @ 2,4Ghz (couldn't succeed in overclocking it to 3Ghz in Linux, works fine in Windows though)
- GPU : Nvidia 8500GS
- RAM : 1x 2Gb


When running Shadow of the Colossus with most defaut settings and no speed hacks in Ubuntu and Windows 7 (rendering with OpenGL on both OSes), I notice a HUGE performance gap : 4fps in Ubuntu, 45fps in Windows. How come?

Same thing goes for Dolphin-Emu while running Gamecube games (45fps in Ubuntu, a rock-solid 60fps in Windows 7). I'm a bit disappointed, especially since I don't plan to use Windows at all on this computer (the whole system feels slow, has little space on its partition, is a hassle to deal with and basically provides no fun to work with) and configuring XBMC in Linux as a Home Theatre / Gaming front-end.

I've heard that most people using PCSX2 in Windows are loading up the GSDX10 renderer plugin to speed up things. This plugin allows for a "3X cycle" (?) mode which seems quite efficient. Don't know what it is, but does such a thing exists for the Linux version ?
