Are there any users of the emulator PCSX out there? The blurb says that it has a command line facility, but I cannot get this to work. 'PATH/pcsx -nogui PATH/pcsx/GAME.iso' does not load the game but just gives me a file dialogue. I've tried using quotes, and parameters like -loadiso or -runiso, but to no avail.
I switched to epsxe which I know has excellent command line facilities, but this won't run in Ubuntu, since it refuses to configure the Video and Sound Plugins (all installed as per instructions). The final disappointment was the new emulator pSX which looked like the answer to my problems, but then refused to find the Bios in the appropriate directory (YES One was installed!)
Has anyone succeeded in running any of these apps and with the command line? I have a frontend (written in Lazarus) which I would love to use with a PSX emulator.
