@AntonioAntwan Open terminal and type the commands below. Sometimes some files are removed from the repository because either something is wrong or they are updating the repository with the latest version. Make sure you typed the ppa into terminal and not copy and pasted, that sometimes causes problems. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install pcsx2 pcsx2-plugins pcsx2-data nvidia-cg-toolkit-pcsx2
@Magnetspule This is from the official PPA: Pcsx2 provides some ubuntu package through ppa. It is only available on 32bits OS. Moreover package are based on recent svn snapshot that are broken from time to time. Due to missing libsoundtouch 1.5, some features was removed. Moreover Ubuntu miss most of ia32libs used by pcsx2, so only 32bits package will be provided.
@Mii2626 The ppa key is only for ubuntu 10.10. If want to install on 11.04 you must compile from source. Remember that pcsx2 is only for 32-bit systems there no official release for 64-bit systems.
He said only works on 32 bit architecture. He said nothing about it only working on ubuntu. I'm using Kali Linux and it runs fine around 60fps. I recently upgraded from BT5 and it worked fine there; it works in several VMs I use including debian. I haven't even tried using ubuntu but I assure you, it works on other LInux distros.
Point taken. I didn't follow the tutorial "exactly". I just needed a distribution source to dl from because I couldn't get the .tar.gz file to compile correctly. The only real difference is that I didn't use synaptic. I did everything through terminal.
im on sparky linux and only want to run off a ps2 disc because my machine is quite old and may not run all the files i have the disc for kingdom hearts 2 but i dont like using a big tv all the time will it work on an older machine say a dv4000 hp?
Hey man, I followed your steps and everything looked like it was working in the terminal stages, but when I open my synaptic package manager "pcsx2" doesn't show up when I search for it, any suggestions?
Type in the terminal "sudo apt-get install pcsx2" (without quotes) to finally install PCX2. Don't forget the BIOS archives to configure properly PCX2. Good luck :)
in my case it cannot be installed because the plugins cannot be installed. first it said " Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/)" and when i solved that, it said "The following packages have unmet dependencies: pcsx2-plugins : Depends: libsoundtouch1c2 (>= 1.3.1) but it is not installable E: Broken packages", and when i try to install the libsoundtouch1c2 it says "E: Package 'libsoundtouch1c2' has no installation candidate". i'm stuck at this... any ideas?
hey man first of all i just wanna thank u for showing us how to do the installation of the emulators with that being said, i gotta ask u how do u play ps2 games on the pcsx2 i don't know how to do the configuration when u first start the progam can u do another tutorial where u show how to the settings for this pcsx2 emulator for the first time or can u tell me what to do or if there is a link with info about it it will be very well apreciated thanks for reading my message
Hey, could you help me? when I open pcsx2 and run ISO files I've a white screen and I can hear only sound, any ideas? (I use pcsx2 with basic plugins..)
this comand to add the repository doesn't work, and when i open the links says page not found, how can i do now? i always tried to install pscx2 but everytime i tried it never worked =\

@holmcross4130 i have the same problem like antonioantwan and your solution does not work for me. any other ideas? thanks ;) (pls excuse my bad english.)
Hey, you forgot the most important step in the tutorial!: the last one To install PCX2, you must follow just three steps: In the terminal, type sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gregory-hainaut/pcsx2.official.ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install pcsx2 Source: github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/wiki/Installing-on-Linux Guys, remember that you must have the BIOS archives to make PCX2 work properly. Good luck :)
@Barderoth oh yes , after 6 nights of hard working .I spent a week figuring out how to mount usb device on linux mandrake and make linux recognize my dsl modem : I didn't succeed
Kali is based off of Debian (as was backtrack). I did say I wasn't sure of this distro tree. ... So you follow his steps EXACTLY for those 2 distros? Use synaptec, you use the same PPA/apt source? Like I said, try doing that in Arch, Fedora, openSUSE.. This should not be titled a "Linux" walkthrough, but "debian-based" or "ubuntu". Also by "this will not work" , I'm not talking about the pcsx2 emulator itself (I've compiled it under Fedora). I refer to the walkthrough video which will not work.
I could insult you - but instead I think you do that yourself, instead don't try to troll. This will not work in: OpenSUSE, Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, or basically any other OS not based off of Ubuntu (lubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu - even mint are all ubuntu slightly tweaked) - I don't know if it would work in Debian, but I thought that distro didn't like PPAs either. It's even the 17th and 18th word spoken in the video (Ubuntu linux)..
oh my god ! I got a headache reading to all that comments , why on earth are you wasting time with that fucking command line OS ? you can't play games on linux , leave that thing for real programmers and install windows if you want to play

@timjrock Sounds like you are using the unity desktop. Just move the mouse over on the top panel to see the menu options.

@saikonosara Check the pscx2 game compatibility list, the game may not be playable and make sure the nvidia-cgi toolkit is installed too.
Thanks! That's the easiest way!
I tried to download all of it from various sites and video not worked.
Now I can play games through xterm!!!
@paradigmshiftuv7 - Thanks for the comment, I will be uploading a dolphin tutorial soon. Please stay tuned.
thanks of you,i can run my Pcsx2!! I' m very happy

@CesarBustios If you are using 64bit ubuntu it will not work. You will have to chroot the 64bit libs. PCSX2 only supports 32-bit operating systems.
@Magnetspule What distro and version of linux are you using? Meanwhile I will check if there has been any changes in the repository.
Thanks

Thanks bro, that's a real help :D

Thanks. Very helpful.
is it faster to play pcsx2 on linux rather than on windows?
so it will not work on ubuntu 13.10 64bit that sad :(
@holmcross4130 i have the same problem like antonioantwan and your solution does not work for me. any other ideas? thanks ;)
(pls excuse my bad english.)
is it faster on Ubuntu
How can i install it on debian 6.0.6?
Hey, you forgot the most important step in the tutorial!: the last one
To install PCX2, you must follow just three steps: In the terminal, type
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gregory-hainaut/pcsx2.official.ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pcsx2
Source: github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/wiki/Installing-on-Linux
Guys, remember that you must have the BIOS archives to make PCX2 work properly.
Good luck :)
Broken File Needed N It Wont Fix Help
@exturelux - Im glad I could help. Thanks for the comment.
how do i uninstall all this?
Chris Josten i found a page on google with everything i need it :) thank you
Uninstall your OS.
never mind its under all software
@Barderoth oh yes , after 6 nights of hard working .I spent a week figuring out how to mount usb device on linux mandrake and make linux recognize my dsl modem : I didn't succeed
Please make sure you use "UBUNTU" rather than "LINUX"... This only works for ubuntu, not for linux in general.
@airmaria103 Simply put, yes. I'm on 10.04 and I did it.
can't hear you man! need to speak louder lol
thanks man
dude i can't hear you.
I try not to be that guy that just tells someone to die because they say something stupid, but you're wrong.
And today we have Left 4 Dead 2 running faster on GNU/Linux than on your beloved Windows.....
Is it not funny how things change in only 5 months?
@secretsofdiffusion thx

It's even the 17th and 18th word spoken in the video (Ubuntu linux)..
@holmcross4130 thank you :) get it for my self but you're right... so now i will get more infos about chroot and try to fix it. thanks :)
