    Question How to install PSX in 10.10?

    I've been looking all over for a guide on how to install PSX emulator on Ubuntu 10.10 but can't find anything.

    I got it extracted to /home/xan/Games/pSX and have the correct BIOS installed but clicking "PSX" just does nothing at all.

    I think I'm missing the required dependencies, which I can't find a proper download for any longer. All the guides either use the terminal to download them on older versions of Ubuntu, or link to a deb of the dependency which is no longer available to download.

    Thanks.

    If you open a terminal and type
    Code:
    cd ~/Games/pSX/
    ./pSX
    what happens?

    After trying to run it in the terminal, I found out what dependency was missing and I installed it through the package manager.

    Now when I try to run it in the terminal, this is the error I receive:

    Code:
    [src/linux/sound.cpp, line 215]: 'snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(pcm_handle,hwparams,SND_PCM_ACCESS_MMAP_INTERLEAVED)' returned 'Invalid argument'
    pad=0
    Segmentation fault
    Any suggestions?

    Edit: Also, this is after the menu pops up asking me to select the language and I hit okay. Then it returns that error.

    A search for that error shows suggestions to remove or turn off PulseAudio, e.g. this thread:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973021

    pSX works fine here, but I don't have PulseAudio installed at all.

    Upon doing that it will launch now with very laggy sound with the terminal infinitely repeating "sound: underrun" until I close pSX.

    Gahhh.

    It will do the sound underrun quite a few times in the terminal for me as well but sound isn't laggy.

    Try playing with the sound latency options under pSX configuration.

    Also, have you tried ePSXe? I generally use both since if I can't get a PS1 game working well under one, I use the other. It's a bit more of an effort to get running particularly under GNU/Linux since it has all the plugin stuff but if you can get it going, it's a great emulator.
