Basic troubleshooting
- Try to launch PCSX2 from Terminal directly (Don't use shortcuts/Start menu entries etc.) to avoid possible problems with these.
- Try to restart with a new PCSX2-configuration (Close PCSX2 when running, backup & delete config in $HOME/.config/PCSX2, re-run First-time wizard)
- Verify your Hard- and Software meets the minimum requirements, see here: https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2#system-requirements
- Can you run other 3D-OpenGL Applications (Games) on your system? If no, it's most likely not an issue with PCSX2.
- No Sound: Verify your configuration works: Are you able to play other sources like Music, Movies...? If not, solve that first.
