Hi All,
I hope this it the right place I've installed PCSX2 from the Arch REPO & AUR but it refuses to boot & gives this message in the terminal.
(PCSX2:12399): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:33:34.451: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",
Interface is initializing. Entering Pcsx2App:: OnInit!
Applying operating system default language...
Command line parsing...
Command line parsed!
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
any Idea what it means cause I'm a noob at this .

Arch Linux's community package for the app which is on their official multilib repositories has sparked some questionable changes in the way they have compiled the binary. I chased them up about them defining OPENCL_API=ON, DISABLE_ADVANCE_SIMD=ON and EGL_API=OFF as well as building the 64-bit version of the emulator prematurely.
- OpenCL support is still experimental and we might be getting rid of it, future is unclear for it. Generally it's not included in any of the builds that are distributed as well as it being disabled by default when building the emulator. I'm glad this was disabled in the build, though.
- The reason advanced SIMD is set to be disabled is to support really old CPUs with only SSE2 support. I don't understand who would have a powerful enough CPU to run the emulator decently that doesn't support AVX2, but that was the decision made by the package maintainer.
- EGL was enabled as it is the only option in the current 1.7 developer builds of GSdx for Linux. I'm not sure the package maintainer understands this but he agrees EGL is the way to go.
- 64-bit support isn't mature enough to force onto everyone. The new 64-bit support requires moving away from the 1.6 stable build which has been kept on that repository for some time now. This change was made after I reported issues about the compile flags.
With these changes as well as future unwanted changes, I would like to say that for the foreseeable future we should NOT recommend using the pcsx2 package in Arch Linux repositories. Instead, please use the pcsx2-git package on the AUR which is maintained by weirdbeardgame with help from myself and others. If you would like a package which distributes a precompiled binary, please voice your opinion. If there is enough interest, we might get one going.
If the package maintainer reads this, please consider looking at our package while following it much more closely and keeping your version down at the stable 1.6 release.
