Nothing happened.
The plugins themselves are 32 bit...as i see it. All the claims on the forums and net point out that there are no problems with running a 32 bit version of pcsx2 on linux(ubuntu etc), though i have not tried it. On the other hand the 64 bit version works fine on win7.
Dont know how the state of pcsx2 is now. Try and see if the plugins work for the 64 bit version pcsx2..

Ok, so what do you want to do..Mupen or Pcsx?
I don't know if pcsx2 will be worth all the trouble..once you get there it is almost guaranteed to go sooooooooo sloooooooooow.
GBA alone should take up several years of your time, of course you can do snes, neogeo, mame, nes, genesis, gen 32..on and on and on.
On your phone..you can do all this too. You can run Final Fantasy 7 on an OG Droid all day.
Let's not forget about abandonware...that is also an extremely large source for games.
Could skip all that, and get Puppy Arcade 10..all set up..also there is an Ultimate Edition Gamers, that still has support....32 bit.
sudo apt-get install mupen64plus

- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install mupen64plus
Then navigate to you ROM..which will be a .z64 file and open it with mupen64plus..which will be located in usr/games. Often ROMS have crazy file names, it is best to keep it simple and connected, so if you get a jy872-Crackhead 64 The Adventure Continues..z64, rename it.

To load the game
Open Dolphin
Navigate to your ROM. Right Click and choose "Open With"
On the Menu that pops up, click on the file icon to open your directory
Navigate to /usr/games/mupen64plus, and click on it.
Press Ok
Here are the Keys

I still think it's easier to do these with Puppy. It doesn't install on your hard drive, you can put it on USB. or like I have been doing, a Micro SD. I have not been using Puppy Arcade 10, although I do have it on Disc, since you can just as easily go to Puppy Arcade, and get the .pet. I think I am going to install Ultimate Edition Gamers again, I'm pretty sure all of this is set up.
