PCSX2 for Debian/Ubuntu

Yes you need to build the git version. The good news is GS plugins are much better

Hi and thanks for your work, this days stay testing some games and performance stay good

However you re lastest version in ppa have this change appears in git???

Thanks

Not yet. Ppa is often late of a couple days/weeks to avoid regression. For example this commit have issue, I try a better way in latest git.

I upgraded all files 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.

(in case someone a PPA that it is not mine )

Is it possible to switch from libjpeg8 to libjpeg-turbo? There’s no package available in Jessie for the proprietary codec.

libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, and ARM systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-4x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs.

jpeg is not really used in PCSX2. I think zzogl use only header file. ZZogl is dropped of the main build (aka it isn't a supported plugin anymore)

There’s still an old dependency left, preventing installation.

Code:

libjpeg8:i386 (>= 8c)

[gregory]

Where did you find this line? What package did you install?

[pcsx23leech]

Code:

lsb_release -da
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)
Release:        8.0
Codename:       jessie

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386

Code:

add-apt-repository ppa:gregory-hainaut/pcsx2.official.ppa
apt-get install pcsx2-unstable

Oh, I had to manually edit the file

Code:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gregory-hainaut-pcsx2_official_ppa-jessie.list

and then I get a bunch of unmet dependencies.

Code:

Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
pcsx2-unstable:i386 : Hängt ab von: libglew1.8:i386 (>= 1.8.0) ist aber nicht installierbar
                       Hängt ab von: libjpeg8:i386 (>= 8c) ist aber nicht installierbar
                       Hängt ab von: libwxbase2.8-0:i386 (>= 2.8.12.1) ist aber nicht installierbar
                       Hängt ab von: libwxgtk2.8-0:i386 (>= 2.8.12.1) ist aber nicht installierbar

Same goes for the regular pcsx2 build.

ok. I was surprised because of libjpeg8. I didn't know that you can install PPA on Debian.

Dependency will be dropped in next PPA release. However, I did a lots of change for the package so you need to be patient.

However it is still strange, it must use wx3.0 normally. I need to check this stuff....
