PCSX2 for Arch Linux

[gregory]

This option is for zzogl plugin... If your Intel driver supports GL3.3 (likely with recent mesa+recent intel GPU), GSdx will work nicely.

[causa-prima]

Edit GSdx.ini and set this variable debug_glsl_shader to 1.

Relaunch from a terminal and copy past the output of it.(unfortunately it is not redirected into main PCSX2 console/log)

I set the variable to 1, started PCSX2, changed to hardware mode and back to software mode. This is the terminal output:

Code:

$ pcsx2

While doing this I stayed in ICO's main menu, where after some time a video will start - this video partially works, but the image is not fullscreen, there is a white border on top and the right side is somehow distorted.

[Mstrpwnrtmail]

I used packagemanager and got it through there. I was wondering how do I set my BIOS so I can use it?

[gregory]

@causa-prima,
Sucky driver? Open advanced tab of GSdx setting and disable all opengl extensions.

[causa-prima]

I set all options in "OpenGL Very Advanced Custom Settings" to "Force-Disabled", still doesn't work.

[gregory]

I have the game, I will try it on my side. However I'm afraid it is an issue with catalyst.

[quequotion]

You might want to install those dependency packages with --asdeps. ie:

Code:

yaourt -S --asdeps package package package

Code:

pacman -U --asdeps package.pkg.tar.xz

Just in case pcsx2's dependencies change in the future (ie, wxgtk) and users want to clear out old cruft easily.

[DaTankAC]

I'm trying to get used to compiling on Arch style. Whether I manually download the latest git or try to use latest version from AUR (pcsx2-git), I keep running into dependency problems. The issue is, I do have multilib enabled and all the NOT FOUND dependencies are indeed installed with their lib32 counterparts. Not sure what I'm missing here. The pcsx2 from the regular pacman repos work fine.

[gregory]

Do you have the .so file (cmake doesn't find them)

[gregory]

I upgraded all files/path to use UPPER CASE letter to be consistent with the application name

Please use PCSX2-linux.sh to launch PCSX2. It would provide a 50%/100% speed boost for Nvidia Proprietary Driver Users.
