This page will cover on how to install multiple emulators on multiple distros

1 - Arch based distros

• NOTE: I will be using yay mostly because pacman may not have all packages.

Retroarch

• Install these 3 packages using the command provided below:
• yay -S retroarch-assets-xmb --noconfirm

• sudo pacman -S retroarch --noconfirm

PCSX2

• Just install by running yay -S pcsx2 --noconfirm

Dolphin

Rpcs3

• Just install by running yay -S rpcs3-bin --noconfirm

• Also install rpcs3-udev with yay -S rpcs3-udev --noconfirm

• rpcs3-udev is need for the emulator to be able to utilize ps4 and ps3 controllers.

PPSSPP

• Just install by running yay -S ppsspp --noconfirm

Duckstation

• Just install by running yay -S duckstation-gpl --noconfirm

2 - Debian based distros
