PCSX2

What works

The emulator works fine. Controllers work fine with Lilypad. Audio works with the default settings.  Cheats work. On my machine, the Windows version is actually a hair faster compared to the native Linux one. 

Using a clean wine prefix, you need to install the 32 bit Visual C++ 2015-2019 runtimes. Download them from the official Microsoft website, as winetricks vcrun2019 is broken.

You need to install dxvk to the wine prefix to have the emulator work at all, otherwise, it will crash even when you try to open the video plugin settings (while Direct3D 11 is available in the GSdx settings, only OpenGL works).

What does not

If you get a crash when launching a game, try going to Config>Plugin selector, and change GSdx from the SSE4.1/AVX version to the SSE2/AVX one.

I can't test GSdx AVX2/AVX2 as it's not supported at all on my machine.

Workarounds

The log window is supposed to snap next to the main window when it's moved around, but that behaviour is broken and it gets stuck. Fortunately, the log window can be closed and reopened when needed.

What was not tested

Downloading and using third-party plugins .
