PCSX-R is a PS1 emulator.
Hmm, I thought solus could handle 32bit software?

edit; just to clarify - pcsx2 is the only functional ps2 emulator

I have to agree with fagoatse here in that PCSX2 is the only functional PS2 emulator available at the moment. While it is limited to 32bit, I think it is a valuable inclusion for the repo since we have an emulator section. I myself, am an avid user of PCSX2 on my systems. I know Solus can handle 32bit software, so that shouldn't be a barrier in and of itself.

PCSX-R is a PS1 emulator and a PS1 emulator only. PCSX2 is developing some basic PS1 support currently, but right now it is the only thing we have for the PS2.

If they port to 64-bit, sure. Until then, it isn't landing. We support multilib only to the extent that is necessary for Steam and WINE. Landing something that is purely 32-bit just isn't acceptable.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. For some reason, I was under the impression that we had some purely 32bit programs on the repository.

@JoshStrobl
Point taken. However, I, and I presume others as well, would be more than content with the ability to build pcsx2 from source. I've taken a glance at the dependencies and apparently only a few are missing or are not multilib enabled. Would you allow those into the repos?

Even with the deps, it's not buildable. The build breaks under GCC6

Hmm, you sure? I think they fixed it quite recently. If not then it might be worth reporting it as their main dev uses debian so he wouldn't know I guess.

You realize that at this point I have spent over a month of my life trying to get this to compile, right? Multilib is the only way you will be able to build this on Solus, and PCSX2 support for it is highly experimental. Just use the pre-built binaries.

Unfortunately, I could only find pre-compiled builds from stable branch which is way too outdated to be worth using. PCSX2 has made tremendous progress recently. Well, here's hoping they'll have a new stable release soon.

Yo, sup. The 1.4.0 build should work, but crashes on start-up with an error for me:

Just wanted to post the latest bit of info that I found.

Did you build it yourself or is it a pre-compiled binary?

@fagoatse that's the pre-built.

@SolarLune Installing portaudio-32bit should take care of one of those. We don't have soundtouch-32bit atm though.

Last I checked there were missing like 3 or 4 libs so I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get it running natively under solus :(

OK and needed https://git.solus-project.com/packages/wxwidgets/commit/?h=wxwidgets-3.0.2-9 too

Cool! How do we test?

Once I sync, just install. Bout to sync shortly
