PCSX2 is an emulator for the PlayStation 2 video game console that allows users to enjoy PS2 games from their home PCs.
I have to agree with fagoatse here in that PCSX2 is the only functional PS2 emulator available at the moment. While it is limited to 32bit, I think it is a valuable inclusion for the repo since we have an emulator section. I myself, am an avid user of PCSX2 on my systems. I know Solus can handle 32bit software, so that shouldn't be a barrier in and of itself.
PCSX-R is a PS1 emulator and a PS1 emulator only. PCSX2 is developing some basic PS1 support currently, but right now it is the only thing we have for the PS2. Re-opening:. In popular demand, and one of our core groups is a target (gamers). The 32-bit only thing is hard to combat given we have other stuff thats 32bit only to meet popular demand. Build failure is the fault of our wxwidgets package, not pcsx2. The internal 'VM' portion of pcsx2 is reliant on x86/SIMD instructions.

Development team mostly targets Windows where there isn't an issue of '32-bit vs 64-bit', and haven't got the resources to maintain 64-bit builds. Initial png inclusion: Soundtouch emul32 enabling: Unbrick wxwidgets emul32: Have my package.yml fleshed out already, and will begin submitting the builds needed soon. Note to testers, at first this won't be fully fleshed, as we don't currently have nvidia-cg-toolkit (I need to investigate this) - but I'll basically be relying on you to test the package for me and let me know what you need fixing/enabling.
I'm more an N64 emulator kind of guy:).
