Hello,

Archilinux offers PCSX2, but store ubuntu doesnt.

Is there maybe a workaround ?

Kind regards

To run the PS2 emulator you need to make a copy of the firmware from an actual PS2. They don't ship that with the emulator for legal reasons. Downloading that from a PS2 seems fairly complicated and I would not trust a file I got from the net.

That said, the download is an appimage so you can just make it executable and run it on most any distro. See https://pcsx2.net/docs/usage/setup/requirements

You get the PCSX2 from Ubuntu Store software ?
