PS2 Emulator PCSX2 2.0 is out now and it's a huge upgrade
14 Jul 2024 at 11:17 am UTC

Hey all! I've seen some FPS on PS2 that may appeal to me. Can someone let me know if I can map the controls to play on PC FPS (Wasd + mouse) without issue?
Unfortunately unless the game was originally intended for use with a mouse the results are not ideal relative vs absolute movement. Key remap is easy and works well tho. It's easy to map the mouse though so give it a go and see what you think. It didn't feel right to me but you may be able to live with it.
PCSX2 is excellent though plays anything I've thrown at it without a hitch, apart from some minor graphical glitches in Ridge Racer 2 I think it was.

Grape times ahead with the release of Wine 6.6 noting plenty of fixes

@Buhe22 if it's a 64bit exe you may have to use wine64 game.exe rather than the traditional wine game.exe or if your game works well stick with the stable version for a while.

Bumps in the road at the moment I can't get wineasio to work with 6.6 at all either.

If it's wine-staging > 6-rc4 there are issues, tho the ones i've seen are 1-3 second pauses. If wine is vanilla I've no idea.

Both of
autoreconf -f
tools/make_requests

are required before configure and make.
autoreconf because staging patches touch configure.ac
and make_requests because fsync-unix-staging.patch touches server/protocol.def so server/protocol.h needs to be regenerated.

Not sure I understood that correctly. Do I have to run "autoreconf -f" and "tools/make_requests" after I apply the fsync patch?

Yes that is correct apply all patches you require i.e staging + fsync then run

autoreconf -f
tools/make_requests

in your build dir then continue to build as you normally do.

Another thing I'm confused about, with 5.20 do I just have to apply the "fsync-unix-staging.patch" file only now?

I'm using this repo: https://github.com/Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git/tree/54d209fc9370492c3daf754e7a7c27ff3edccece/wine-tkg-git/wine-tkg-patches/proton [External Link]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the other fsync patches are for older Wine versions right?
Yes all other fsync patches are for older versions and will not apply to 5.20
I'm hoping some of the other patches will be updated as upstream wine settles down, but it hasn't happened yet.

Regarding Ubuntu Studio, it's probably to do with all the 32bit binary only vst plugins that are out there.
