How to install a PS2 Emulator on Ubuntu

PCSX2 is an open source PS2 (PlayStation 2) emulator available for both Windows and Linux platforms. In its latest release, PCSX2 has been able to play many PS2 games. If you have difficulties installing this emulator under Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot (32-bit), you can follow the instructions given below.

I have tried to install PCSX2 from PPA with no avail, so I resorted to the installation using the provided Debian packages as shown below. Before we start the installation, you should know that the version you are trying to install is unstable (0.9.9.0). So install it at your own risk!

Getting Started

Open the terminal and install PCSX2 using these instructions order:

1.

wget -O pcsx2-l10n-unstable_5068-1_all.deb http://goo.gl/e8tXu


sudo dpkg -i pcsx2-l10n-unstable_5068-1_all.deb

2.

wget -O nvidia-cg-toolkit-pcsx2_i386.deb http://goo.gl/X4cSQ


sudo dpkg -i nvidia-cg-toolkit-pcsx2_i386.deb

3.

sudo apt-get install libglew1.6 libwxbase2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-0

4.

wget -O pcsx2-plugins-unstable_5068-1_i386.deb http://goo.gl/abAK6
sudo dpkg -i pcsx2-plugins-unstable_5068-1_i386.deb

5.

wget -O pcsx2-plugins-unstable-dbg_5068-1_i386.deb http://goo.gl/dvJRF


sudo dpkg -i pcsx2-plugins-unstable-dbg_5068-1_i386.deb

wget -O pcsx2-unstable_5068-1_i386.deb http://goo.gl/U9980


sudo dpkg -i pcsx2-unstable_5068-1_i386.deb

PCSX2 is now installed. Use the Unity Dash to start it:
