Update PCSX2 to Version 1.6.0-rc
Closed, InvalidPublic
Actions

Description

The current version in the repo is 1.4.0, which is almost 4 years old. The latest version, 1.6.0-rc, provided many fixes to games and is more stable over all. I have experienced issues in a few games with version 1.4.0, but are not present in 1.6.0-rc. Having the updated version in the repo will be fantastic and benefit us PS2 gamers. I would also like the note that the PCSX2 website still has the outdated release, the github is the best place to find the latest release.

I'm working on an update right now. I am not sure if the team with allow this in the standard repos due to it being a release candidate, but seeing the progress for the PCSX2 team gives me a feeling it will be awhile until a stable release, so the team might allow this. Either way, i'm trying to get it to run right now. Will update you!

They should allow the RC or maybe make a separate package for it.

@dr03m I keep running into an error about missing libraries, and no matter how much I try to change pkgconfigs, pkgs, etc, I continue to get cmake errors. Sorry man, I tried lol

Probably because this is 32-bit and not 64-bit because the devs refuse to port it.

Regardless, this is a release candidate and not a full release. Given how many years it has been since the last actual release, we should wait until *after* 1.6.0 comes out to upgrade it.

welp, stable 1.6.0 is out, if anyone is interested. (I tried to build it myself but I don't know how to handle dependencies properly. btw, I can submit a new task.
