PCSX2 Linux 0.9.7 Beta r3119 (06/01/10)

Here is the Linux Binary download of the latest official beta version of PCSX2. Keep in mind that this is beta. (And does have a few more rough edges than the Windows beta, though I'm working on those.)

This version is compiled against zlib 1.2.4. Since it's looking like a number of people don't have this version, if you have issues that mention zlib, grab this attachment as well, and replace the PCSX2 executable in the PCSX2 folder with that copy.

Notes:
The most immediate difference is the new interface. Not only is it nice looking, and more powerful then the original interface, being programmed in wxwidgets, we only have to write the interface code once, and it works on both Windows and Linux. This means that there is a lot closer feature parity between the two platforms.

I've also ported SPU2-X over to Linux, and included a copy. It is still a bit unstable. I've noticed that it crashes the first run dialog, for example. I haven't actually noticed it crashing during actual gameplay, though, and the sound is about on par with the Windows version.

Graphically, I've included the latest version of ZZOgl, as I did last time, as well as the version I've been hacking away at in trunk, ZZOgl-pg. Oh, and I threw in ZeroGS for some reason.

Dependencies:

Pcsx2 itself:
As I mentioned it currently needs zlib 1.24+. This will probably change in the future.

Also, the new GUI is in wxwidgets, so you'll need wxgtk installed. 2.8.8+ is required.
If you are using Ubuntu or Debian and need a newer version (Ubuntu Hardy or earlier, Debian Lenny or earlier), follow the steps here.
Gtk+ is still needed, but wxwidgets depends on it, so that's already covered.

ZZogl/ZeroGS need libglew1.5-dev, libxxf86vm-dev and nvidia-cg-toolkit.

ZeroSPU2 and SPU2-X need libasound2-dev.
SPU2-X also requires portaudio. Last I looked, that was libportaudio0, lib-portaudio-dev and portaudio19-dev, though I suspect one or two of those are unnecessary. (I know the last is needed, in any case. In Gentoo, it's all one package, but Debian/Ubuntu like to have multiple package for one library.)

Zeropad and Onepad both require joystick and libsdl1.2-dev.

And I seem to recall libbz2-dev being required as well. I'll have to double-check that at some point, since I don't recall where the dependency was coming from.

Windows Plugin update pack August 2010

This is an update to the Windows versions of GSdx and SPU2-X.
Compile date: August 2010.

Best use this with PCSX2 0.9.7.

GSdx changes:

• Better DirectX 11 detection.
• Wrong colors in the movie record feature fixed.
• More CRCs for automatic post process removal.
• Stability fixes and preparation work for future PCSX2 revisions.
• Finally fixed the remaining DirectX 11 memory leaks on emulator suspends!
  

SPU2-X changes:

• More accurate emulation regarding double interrupts.
• Fixed minor volume issues and doubled output volume.
• Fixed a write-back issue that had caused memory corruption before.
  Now the Tales of Destiny 2 sound test has a working visual equalizer.
• Mostly fixed voice modulation (used in Romancing Saga and FFX battles).
• Clamp illegal pitch settings, fixing another bunch of games
• Hopefully fixed bad reverb area problems.
