Install ePSXe Playstation Emulator

[Doat]

Mega Man 8 runned perfectly until I beat my first boss, which caused epsxe to crash with:

/usr/local/bin/epsxe: line 6: 32117 Muistialueen ylitys     ./epsxe

Muistialueen ylitys is Finnish and means something like "Excess of memory".

This has happened for Frost Man and Grenade Man so I assume it happens for all the bosses. The crash happens a while after that purple thing appears on the floor after the boss has exploded. Does anyone happen to know how to fix this?

I hope someone knows what's up, thanks.

For all peope having troubles with SEGMENTATION FAULT and PeteXGL2 plugin:

vi /usr/local/games/epsxe/cfg/gpuPeteXGL2.cfg

and play with settings named:

NoRenderTexture
TexFilter

and maybe others. If nothing works, you can always try with Pete's Mesa plugin.

First of all, great howto. I got up and running in no time. I even got my gamepad working.

My problem was with creating an iso image from a game. I was going to try this:

cdrdao read-cd --read-raw --datafile gamename.bin --driver generic-mmc-raw gamename.toc

This didn't work as it is written, so I assume some of this stuff I am supposed to adapt for my own situation. But I don't know what to put in for some of the things. For i.e. where can I find the exact gamename the disk has? (or am I just supposed to name it what I want). Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Anybody got FF IX working? I know one dude got it working, but he didnt tell how

Also now epsxe crashes on start just because i put some plugins in the /plugins folder. Ill just have to test which one does it.

Edit: Nvm, a reboot and some files in the $EPSXE/patches folder fixed it.

To make an exact duplicate, try this command:

cat (path/to/your/disc/drive) > image.iso

The path to your disc drive will change depending on what it is. For example, I've got a DVD+-RW, which resides at /dev/dvdrw.

Final Fantasy IX always freezes for me around the Dali cutscene, not sure why.

Thx for the howto. I used the PeteXGL2 hardware render. My gfx card is a ATi Radeon 9200. I get this error when running from disk.

Please help, I know this is an old thread.

Install ePSXe version 1.5.2 or everything except version 1.6 and it should work.

I think I have 1.5.2 . . .I'll check that.
