      Hello everybody,

      I'm trying to use my Debian Server as a RetroPie, all goes well until I try to install the experimental packages.. Some don't work, that's fine, but I would love to be able to use the PS2 emulator.

      The thing is, when I try to install PCSX2 from the RetroPie Setup experimental packages it start and then it says:
      Unable to locate package

      Is there anything I can do to fix that?
      Because I can't seem to find where it's trying to get the package from..

      I hope someone can help! =)
      Thanks in advance!
      Thursten

      @Edit Since I wasn't very clear before, It is installed on a 64bit Debian Server.
      So it's NOT on the Raspberry Pi! 0=)

        I think it's a waste of effort regardless. My i5 at 2.4 GHz can't even play PS2 games without horrible slowdown, so I seriously doubt the pi can output something decent.

          So it isn't on my Pi it is a pretty decent PC though! =)

              Ah, my mistake. 😀
              Does it point to a log you could upload here?

                  We don't build PCSX2 from source - just try to install via apt-get. However PCSX2 is not packaged in Debian. You would need to use Ubuntu or compile manually.

                    Okay! Thanks very much, I indeed noticed it only could be installed from binaries! So I'll try that!
                    If I install it through that will I be able to use it through the EmulationStation?
                    Is there any documentation? I've something about configuration file editting..
