PCSX2 for Debian/Ubuntu

[Linux-fag]

I did some digging and I think the problem I'm having is because it wants to store the plugins and such in the /root folder. Since I'm not using the root user, it must have been giving me difficulties. When I try to run the script with sudo, I can actually get it to load the BIOS but there is no audio. Grr, close but not there yet. Would really like some help.

Late, but this may help someone else if not you:

They are stored (should be) in /usr/games/plugins/
Just point your PCSX installation there in the plugins settings. If you installed it locally (i.e. compiled it) and it is not happy looking for the plugins where you pointed to locally, just copy them to /usr/games/plugins/. Failing that, there's the Appimage (see below)
Also, the reason there's no audio could be that PCSX2 sometimes defaults to SPU2null plugin. Just go to the plugins select option and choose the other one, SPU2-X 2.0.0 (or whatever version it is you have).

If you want to make your life easy, there's the AppImage repo:
https://github.com/ferion11/PCSX2_Appima...continuous

Before you run the AppImage:
1. Backup ~/.config/PCSX2, then delete everything it it other than your PS BIOS dump and memory cards.
2. As root apt-get purge pcsx2 && apt-get autoremove
3. Probably a dumb reminder, but chmod a+x <pcsx2-version>.appimage
4. Optionally, as root, mv pcsx2.appimage /usr/loca/bin/
(Note it's better to place a soft link to it if you have a small /usr/ partition, but most *nix users only have /tmp, /var, /home, and / as separate partitions and storage these days is plentiful for systems on a single partition).

Note: The appimage may give a plugin error message about not being able to find them. Ignore it and it should automagically find them (may require a restart). After that, your settings in ~/.config/PCSX2/ default and you'll have to reconfigure the plugins. I do not suggest migrating older config files as a lot has changed between 1.4 and 1.5, and even more by 1.7 (dev). If there's a setting that seems missing, it's most likely merged into another one / redundant, or it was simply moved since the UI has changed and some of the settings have been recategorised.

Trying to compile on an Ubuntu 20.04 VM but I keep getting this error, any ideas? Just following the steps from here, and I keep running into this after running make -j$(nproc).
 

Code:

/usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/PCSX2.dir/x86/iR3000A.cpp.o: in function `recResetIOP()':

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1519: pcsx2/CMakeFiles/PCSX2.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:130: all] Error 2

I'd rather just get rid of the AppImage and compile things myself (because the AppImage doesn't integrate well with my theme), so help would be appreciated.

What's the output when you run the cmake command in a new build directory.

[kagutsuchi]

What do you mean by a new build directory?

[Fobes]

New as in empty, I want cmake to generate everything anew, without anything being cached. Just remove everything from the `build` directory and type `cmake ..`
Can you show the output of that?

Hello there, I'm new here

Just followed the steps to compile the program on Ubuntu 20.04 (actually I have installed Ubuntu 21.10), after compilation the program runs but, when I try to run a game shows:

@gregory.. you're a boss man. Just downloaded the appimage of 1.72530 and man is this a massive difference in quality from 1.6 that I was able to pull from the ppa...noticing some small quirks though.. Where would the best place to mention them? I dont want to muddy up this thread with em if it's not the right place to do so.

[Neigdoig]

I just use the 1.7 PPA, and it works for my purposes.

[lightningterror]

I just use the 1.7 PPA, and it works for my purposes.

The PPA builds are no longer supported, appimages on the website are the official source.
