Install ePSXe Playstation Emulator (Version 2)

[Koiti]

Now this is weird.

Try installing some packages to configure the gtk apps (gkt-theme-switch) and changing the fonts displayed.

Cheers.

Note that ePSXe is a Gtk1.2 app.

and i also tried changing the font with gtk-theme-switcher2
but no use;which font should i select any idea;
and just for the info i haven't changed the default font after installation

"upx: command not found"

help?

[Felson]

sudo aptitude install upx-ucl-beta

If you did that before, what does it return?

[ZOOstation]

Nevermind, it worked today. Weird. Sometimes I think I just shouldn't code at night.

Thanks for the howto: much more appropriate to my system than the previous.

Okay, FF8 is pulling up a black screen. The BIOS runs fine. Here's what the terminal has to say when I try to run the CD:

 * Memory handlers init. 
 * ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [/usr/local/games/epsxe/bios//SCPH1001.BIN].

Hmm... I don't remember FF8 having audio tracks. Are you sure this is the right CD? Anyway, if yes (originals do best, by the way), try two things:

- Enable Subchannel reading and caching (FF8 uses an additional copy protection called Libcrypt which relies on bogus subchannel data)
- Try making an ISO (which will make the game much more playable, by the way)

I'll second that.

Still trying to figure out why the fonts doesn't show with the other guy.

Weird...

How? (i'm = n00b)

Yes, it's the original CD. I'll get on the ISO thing pronto.
