Comment 4 for bug 103791

I don't think it would be hard to package it without the BIOS and plugins. PCSX2 <strong>doesn't</strong> require these plugins or BIOSes to compile. I don't know DEB packaging yet but if I ever learn how to do that, I'll try making packages. [I would love to be able to play Final Fantasy X without having to pay for anything :P]

The BIOS is copyrighted so the user needs to get it themselves (if you have a PS2, you can use a tool to copy the PS2 firmware, including BIOS and DVD-ROM firmware, to BIN files). The plugins can be found on the PCSX2 website and other sites (linux versions and windows versions are usually available for the most popular plugins).
