Code:

$ psx-emulator

Did you try all of the instructions on that page? Namely, killing pulseaudio and editing the .ini file?

I did the setup and I get the following error:

Code:

$ sudo psx-emulator
Home directory /home/hikaru not ours.
Error en la conexión: Conexión rechazada
Home directory /home/hikaru not ours.
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[src/linux/sound.cpp, line 582]: 'snd_pcm_open(&pcm_handle,dev->info->device_fname,SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK,0)' returned 'Dispositivo ó recurso ocupado'
pSX: pcm_params.c:2274: snd_pcm_hw_refine: Afirmación `pcm && params' fallida.
AVISO: El proceso hijo terminado por la señal 6

When you run it with sudo, it's going to place it's configuration files in root. When you run it as a normal user it will place them in your home directory.

The pcm error may be fixed by following step 6 in the instructions you provided. However, knowing what device number to insert there can be a problem.
