My desktop at my workplace is kinda decent for PCSX2. With a Core i3 2100 and a GeForce GT 440, most games shall run at full speed to be sure. But the problem is that it uses Ubuntu. Using Linux version of PCSX2 means no SVN or MTVU. I have not tried PCSX2 on Ubuntu yet but GSDX is superior ZZogl on Windows. Is the Linux version of PCSX2 really inferior compared to Windows version?
I have an idea, that is, to run the Windows version of PCSX2 on Wine. On Wine application database, PCSX2 0.9 SVN has "gold" status. I don't know if there is any speed gain but I can use GSDX and MTVU at least. Is it a good idea?
And finally, does the DualShock 2 and 3 work with Linux? A quick Google seach shows a detailed tutorial, but I do not understand it much since it is full of console commands ("sudo" or something like that). I am new to these open source things. I can try it tomorrow but I want to know if anyone got it working? Note that I do not have root privilege.
Ubuntu and OpenOffice suck. Next week I will install Office 2010 and all of my games via Wine and see if they work. Using those software drives me crazy. I hate free and open source software -- I like using the commercial ones instead. The only exception is 7-zip, I found it better than WinRAR after several day usage. Of course, for PCSX2 it is not the case because there is no proprietary PS2 emulator .
