How-To: install pSX on AMD64

[jw5801]

echo "deb http://packages.dfreer.org:8080 gutsy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://packages.dfreer.org:8080/7572013D.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

If you've still got the old sources.list line that didn't include the reference to port 8080, then you'll want to remove that entry and run the commands above. Then it should be working fine!

Hi I've used this guide before and it worked flawlessly. I reinstalled ubuntu 7.10 and tried to install psx again but when ever I try entering

echo "deb http://packages.dfreer.org:8080 gutsy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://packages.dfreer.org:8080/7572013D.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

my terminal gives me this

deb http://packages.dfreer.org:8080 gutsy main
$ echo "deb http://packages.dfreer.org:8080 gutsy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://packages.dfreer.org:8080 gutsy main
$ wget http://packages.dfreer.org:8080/7572013D.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
--15:00:31-- http://packages.dfreer.org:8080/7572013D.gpg
=> `-'
Resolving packages.dfreer.org... failed: Name or service not known.
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

I really like this psx emulator so if anyone can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for the download links. However, the 'additional packages' zip file was empty but I don't think it matters though, as the other debs have installed without a problem.

I haven't been able to get pSX to install on hardy using this guide, even by downloading the packages since the repo is still down. Can someone give me a quick guide how to get this running on Hardy?

just get it from the homepage, unpack and run. you'll need ia32-libs package to run it on a 64-bit system.

I found a guide for this at the pSX forums, courtesy of andrebait. It works great and in my opinion much simpler than dfreer's guide (still props to dfreer for his method). I'll copy and paste it here for anyone else who tries to get this working.

"Making distribution specifica packages is great, but I like the "generic" way ^^'
I mean... generic if you use Debian based distros...

Well...
My way is:

- Download pSX 1.13 from the website
- Extract anywhere
- Install getlibs. It's a program written specifically to those who use x86-64 linux and face incompatibility due to the lack of 32-bit libraries. You can use it in many ways (read in this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 ).

My preferred way it to use it to autodetect the libraries needed and install them automatically.
So... save the file anywhere and install getlibs

cd /home/user/
tar jxf pSX_linux_1_13.tar.bz2

A folder named pSX will be created, so...

cd pSX
getlibs pSX

It will find any 32-bit libraries pSX needs and are not present and install them. It'll ask you for the sudo password too.

After that, just run pSX "

@Grishka: I tried that and it didn't work for me for whatever reason, anyway I found a solution. Thanks
