Pretty much any modern system will do the trick. Piledriver AMD CPU or Intel i5 along with any recent (< 3 years old) GDDR5 midrange gpu will do the trick. But it still most likely won't be enough due to coding limitations with software mode pretty much being the only thing working reliably. But it is a step towards modernizing your very old system, and you don't need to spend tons of money to do so.
I would advise to get an Intel CPU (haswell).
Hello,
I've got an intel i7 (second generation) + 6GB RAM with no dedication GPU on a laptop. The OS is 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04. I've been reading/skimming the threads here (and on code.google). My takeaway is that my configuration is not officially supported. Now, I'm willing to try compiling something from source - would probably take me time, but the experience would be interesting. What I need to know, is if my hardware can support PCSX2? On the same system, with Win7, I've got Kingdom Hearts running, so I assume things should be alright, but is there any extra requirement for a Linux OS?
And for linux work - do you guys use an IDE (if so; which one?) ?
Can I assume that this command is enough to get me the source I'm looking for,
Code:
svn checkout http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pcsx2-read-only
Finally, is this code same as the windows one? Or are you guys working off a separate branch or something?

Hi,
I'm on Debian testing amd64. Can someone provide a precise list of i386 dependencies required to execute the 1.0.0 binaries?
Thanks!
Thank you but there is a lot of *-dev packages.
I only wanted a specific *smaller* list of files required to launch the binaries, not to compile (especially because some files have unresolved dependencies).
For the most part they are one and the same. PCSX2 will not run without pretty much all of the listed dependencies.
Just install the runtime library without (-dev), be aware sometimes there is a version number in the package name.
PCSX2 PPA updated for precise and later ubuntu.
