Install PS2 Emulator in Ubuntu 12.10/12.04/Linux Mint 14/13


Install PS2 Emulator in Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal/Ubuntu 12.04 Precise/Linux Mint 14/13

PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 emulator for Windows and Linux. It was started by the team behind PCSX (an emulator for the original PlayStation) back in 2002, and as of early 2012 development is still active. The emulator achieved playable speeds only by mid-2007 and subsequent versions have improved speed and compatibility making it both the ultimate solution for PS2 emulation and the instrument to keep and preserve the PS2 legacy in the modern world. Though not yet perfect the program can successfully emulate most commercial PS2 games at playable speeds and good visuals (often better than the original PS2). There are few number of games which can be played with PCSX2 Emulator.

Current PCSX2 notable features:
  • Recompilers for Emotion Engine (EE), Vector Unit 0 (VU0) and Vector Unit 1 (VU1). They are used to translate some parts of the original PS2 machine code into x86 machine code, speeding up emulation. Due to the fact that PS2 machine code is an entirely different language from x86 machine code these re-compilers are probably the most complicated parts in PCSX2.
  • Dual core support allows PCSX2 to use up to 2 CPU cores speeding up the emulator significantly.
  • Proper SPU2 emulation helps reproduce PS2 audio or even enhanced audio on the PC which is not a trivial task considering the lack of documentation and the fact that it has to synchronize with many other emulated processors.
  • Full game-pad support makes it possible to emulate every Dual Shock 2 feature.
  • Patch system to create cheats easily. It can also be used to skip code where emulation is still broken (which ultimately can make the game playable). This feature is quite user-friendly and easy to use.
  • Additional optimizations (hacks) to speed up emulation. You will be able to play certain games on lower-end machines thanks to this feature.
  • Fully working memcard support.
  • Fully working IPU support responsible for FMV - video cut-scenes should mostly run correctly.

If game is working very slow then Go to Config -> Emulation -> Check the Preset and move preset setting to most right (see the picture)

Reproducir Full-HD con VLC

Antes que nada aclaro que no van a poder ver CUALQUIER VIDEO en Full-HD. Depende mucho el bitrate. Probé con varios trailers y anda bien, pero videos de mayor bitrate van a seguir dando saltos. El problema insalvable es que el procesador Intel Atom N270 a 1.6ghz no tiene el poder de proceso necesario para poder ver sin problemas videos más pesados. Con probar de todas formas no se pierde nada, así que empecemos: Abrimos VLC . Nos dirigimos al menú Tools y Preferences. Abajo a la izquierda donde dice Show Settings cliqueamos en All . A la izquierda nos metemos en Input / Codecs > Video-codecs > FFmpeg . A la derecha tildamos Allow speed tricks , y donde dice Skip the loop filter for H.264 decoding , seleccionamos All. Abajo de eso, tildamos Hardware Decoding. Les quedaría así:

Heimdall: Odin Alternative That Runs On Linux (Tool To Flash ROMs On Samsung Galaxy S Devices)

Heimdall is a cross-platform (runs on Linux, Windows and Mac OSX), open source Odin alternative which uses the same protocol as Odin to interact with a device in download mode, that can be used to flash Android ROMs or Kernels onto Samsung Galaxy S phones. The application officially supports Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (8GB) from UK and Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16GB) from Australia, but users have reported that it also works with the Captivate, Vibrant, Fascinate, Mesmerize, Epic 4G, Galaxy S 4G, Infuse 4G, GT-I9000T, Galaxy Tab (7 and 10.1 inches), Galaxy S II, and the international GT-I9000. And indeed, at least for Samsung Galaxy S II, I can confirm that Heimdall works as I've tested it myself. Before using Heimdall, remember that flashing has the potential to brick your phone so use it carefully! Flashing ROMs onto your device may also void your warranty! For the steps required to flash an Android ROM from Linux onto your Samsung device using Hei...
