Install ePSXe Playstation Emulator (Version 2)

[hossdozero]

I am a newbie to Ubuntu 9.04, and after following the how-to and trying to run "epsxe" i get this error in the terminal.

./epsxe: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In my ignorance i'm not sure what this means, but I would like to figure it out.

As quicksilverprince mentioned, the getlibs have been removed; I used the provided code.

Any help would be great or a shove in the right direction. I'm new at this. Sorry if it's something terribly obvious.

thx

I'm also having trouble with this.
If anyone has the solution, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok. I went through the whole process again from the beginning. Everything works great. The only problem I encounter is that the directional keys do not work for me.

I have this problem too, if i assign different keyboard keys for directions it works, but not with arrows any ideas fixes?

I tried this on Lucid and it completely failed as well as ruined my clean install.

If you are really having problems, just install ePSXe v1.7 in Wine.

Its a newer version and works great in Wine. The only thing I had to do was copy the ZLIB1.DLL to the same folder I had epsxe in.

The installer worked but I cant seem to find where it put the executable. I want to use epsxe in wahcade as it preforms much better the pcsx. the which epsxe command does not work.

they got the keycodes wrong in keycodes.lst
change the 4 keycodes for Left, Up, Right, Down to:

Left 0xFF51 0x71
Up 0xFF52 0x6F
Right 0xFF53 0x72
Down 0xFF54 0x74

Just got my system running Chrono Cross with this. The key issue was my only one! Thanks mucho to all!

Hi, i tried this guide and every time i try to open epsxe i get a crash report that my kernel is unstable and my system may become unresponsive. WTF?

Using Linux Mint 10, which uses Ubuntu Maverick repositories.

Ive installed the "updated" getlibs .deb file, but it looks like libgtk1-2 was removed from repositories. Here is the output of getlibs:

a@b /usr/local/games/epsxe $ sudo getlibs $EPSXE/epsxe
libgtk-1.2.so.0: libgtk1.2
No match for libgdk-1.2.so.0
libgmodule-1.2.so.0: libglib1.2
No match for libglib-1.2.so.0
The following i386 packages will be installed:
libglib1.2
libgtk1.2
Continue [Y/n]? y
E: No packages found
libglib1.2 was not found in your repositories
Make sure you have all repositories enabled and updated
E: No packages found
libgtk1.2 was not found in your repositories
Make sure you have all repositories enabled and updated
No packages to install

And, as expected, epsxe gives the following error:

epsxe: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ive checked libgtk1-2 using Synaptics, and its not there. Not even listed or avaliable for downliad/install. Only libgtk2. Are they compatible? Would a symlink work?

Any ideias on how or where to get libgtk1-2 on Maverick?

Nevermind... thats too much trouble for a 2003 software... hard to believe that an 8 years old version is still the best / recommended PSX emulator for Linux.

Anyway, searching a lil harder, ive found this: PCSX-Reloaded

Theres a .DEB file that installed as easily as a double-click. Installer creates a nice icon at menu (Games sectioon). and has a cute GUI. Didint tamper with settings yet, but it run out-of-the-box flawleslly a 5-minute test i did with a Final Fantasy VII .BIN image i created myself (have the original game)
