pcsx2 for ES PC via ubuntu question

[rocknflip]

please kindly help, its my first post so forgive me if this is asked many times.

but was worried about installing experimental pcsx2 at first because i was told to downgrade.

and so i did and added it to my retropie just to have the ps2 script and run it..
it was bothering me i had to downgrade, so i did a bit of research through the forums here and followed by entering in the terminal

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
then
sudo apt-get install pcsx2

i am able to play ps2 games but was not sure why i had to downgradein the first place? will this affect my anything in ES or make changes in my PC? and if so what can i do to make sure everything is back and updated?

It's ok, the 'downgrade' means you'll not be using RetroPie's custom SDL2 build, but the SDL2 version shipped with the distro - it's not an issue.

alright, thats good to know,
i read that some others had issues playing other emulators afterwards, thankfully i didnt get no problems.
