Re: PCSX2

by Dennis Payne

I started to wonder if maybe I'm not thinking about this with a eye to the future. Maintaining this will be difficult. I decided to take a look on flathub.org. It does have a flatpak for pcsx2. https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.pcsx2.PCSX2 It is listed as 1.5.0-dev. The playstation 2 bios files needed to moved to a different location. It runs about the same as the regular version. Steambot Chronicles doesn't run at full speed on my computer (about ~50% PS2 speed). The flatpak version may have been a percent or two behind but hard to say for certain. I did have problems installing it. Following the instructions on the site didn't work. The repository is added in my Gnome Software but clicking on install gave an error "Failed to install file: not supported". Not sure why that is. I ended up using the command line. flatpak install flathub net.pcsx2.PCSX2 On Sat, 2019-05-18 at 14:35 -0400, Dennis Payne via WLUG wrote: > Before the meeting on games, I tested pcsx2 thinking maybe I could > show it.

PCSX2

by Dennis Payne

Before the meeting on games, I tested pcsx2 thinking maybe I could show it. However, it was removed from rpmfusion in Fedora 30. PCSX2 is playstation 2 emulator. I have a working PS2 but the He-Man game was only released in Europe and it is region locked. The emulator finally allowed me to try the game. Since I didn't like losing that ability I've rebuilt the pcsx2 package for Fedora 30. http://identicalsoftware.com/dulsi/lzma-libs-4.32.7-21.fc30.i686.rpm http://identicalsoftware.com/dulsi/pcsx2-1.4-11.fc30.i686.rpm The src rpms are exactly the same as the files from fedora and rpmfusion. I cheated a bit in compiling the pcsx2 package. It had some errors with system headers files. Rather than create a patch to make it compile, I hacked the system header files. (It was a throw away VM because pcsx2 can't compile in 64 bit.) Feel free to grab it if you want to play PS2 games. -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/dulsi

Gaming on Linux

by Richard Klein

Does anyone have a favorite tower defense game? Has anyone come across something like World of Tanks for Linux (preferably something that doesn't require WINE or Vulkan)? I was pleased to find Minecraft was in my default repositories. I installed it, but haven't tried it yet. -- Rich
