it sounds like you were unable to make a image swap? my Riven discs are virtual unusable, so I tried your method of inserting the original disc 2 (of FFVIII, btw) until I came to the prompt where it told me to please insert disc 1. pressing eject on the CD drive resulted in a "Unable to eject medium" error, and so I went to File > Eject CD in pSX. Then I pressed eject on my drive tray again and it ejected the CD. Inserted the original Disc 1, went to File > Insert CD Drive and then waited about 1 min (about 30 secs for ubuntu to load disc, and then another 30 or so for pSX to spin up and recognize disc). It worked fine, the opening FMV started playing. I will try to make an image of FFVII discs 1+2, and see whether using images is your problem. What format is your game CD in, like .bin, .ccd, .cdz, .iso, etc?
For those of you interested, a new .deb will soon be released with Ultima's (from pSX forums)
pSX Frontend for linux. This frontend basically allows you to reach the undocumented commandline switches for pSX (like enabling the debugger), and also things like making custom settings for each game, and the ability to autoload the last saved state. It probably does more but I have yet to test it out fully. You can install the frontend alongside of pSX, and it makes absolutely NO changes to the original pSX binary or psx.ini file (so basically it will not mess up your settings). It IS a work in progress build, so anyone using it should report any bugs on
Ultima's thread.
