You can directly install PCSX2 from debian repository

Not Ppa but own debian package (testing/sid).
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-cache search pcsx2
sudo apt-get install ...
(or use a gui)

Hello there. New to the forum, but I've done about 15-16 hours worth of tinkering with this thing over the last week and I am having trouble assessing if the machine I am running PCSX2 on is simply too weak or if I am missing something with configuration. I'd also like to run this with SSE3 instructions since it's a Bobcat architecture and can support those extensions.
I have tried the catalyst drivers. I am currently using the proprietary ones that Xubuntu 15.10 has available in the "Additional Drivers" section. Both seem to yeild the same result. Playing Tekken 5, the machine drops to 3%. It's grinding to a friggin' halt. I am also using the microcode proprietary drivers as well, so additional instruction set support might help address the situation.
I tried upping the settings in speed hacks ( 2 / 2 respectively). I tried the level 5 preset. It's just getting a huge slowdown somewhere and I'm not sure what, as the minimum recommended hardware in another thread I read has this machine roughly in line with what is needed.
Can you shed some light on this? A copy/paste of an lspci from the PC in question (Gateway NV55S) is below. it has 8GB of ram and a Kingston 120GB SSD in it as well, so that's something else that makes me wonder why the slowdown and frowny faces and dead unicorns and whatnot.

What is your cpu exactly? Sse 3 won't be a game changer.
