Install ePSXe Playstation Emulator

[LordBug]

Is there a *working* ALSA sound module for EPSXE or how to fix the spu Eternal to work? Spu Eternal craps itself with "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" if you try to configure sound or video.

along the lines of the last question asked....how do i get sound working?

when the program attempts to open "spu[0]" i get a no device. running it under aoss yields no joy and esddsp freezes it. My sound is prmarily alsa...how should i set this up?

Thanks,

Mak

Great tutorial. Got mine working in a few minutes! Here's a screenshot for encouragement. Playing Tenchu Steath Assasins off a cd and it loads fast!

Do you have two sound cards? ePSXe will send it to one by default, and I haven't a clue how to change it. But I can get sound if I switch my speakers from my audigy 2 to the built in soundcard on the mobo.

I can get FF7 running with the MesaGL plugin (which works ok, but still a bit slow when its going to a fight scene) but when i try to use Pete's XGL 2.8 or 2.7 plugins i get this error:

* Init gpu[0][libgpuPeteXGL2.so.2.0.8]
/usr/local/bin/epsxe: line 6: 20287 Segmentation fault ./epsxe

and epsxe crashes... has anyone fixed this issue?

if not what are your settings for running Final Fantasy 7 with the Mesa plugin if you're using it?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi

Has anyone gotten FFIX to run?

If you did please tell me your settings, i can't get it to run.

What kind of a graphics card do you have and what drivers are you using with it? You need to have the proprietary ati/nvidia drivers installed and working to use the XGL2 plugin.

Hi,

I followed your guide, and it worked fine, except for one thing. It complained that libspu.so was missing when I launched either the bios or cd-rom, so I symlinked libspu.so to libspuPeopsOSS.so.1.0.9 and then it worked fine.

However, I am having a problem playing games from the cd-rom drive. (I can launch into the bios fine with sound) The game I am testing is Metal Gear Solid (original NTSC discs). Here is the output from when I try to run it:

kurt@spark:~$ epsxe
 * Running ePSXe emulator version 1.6.0.
--- here i click file->run cdrom ---
 * Memory handlers init.
 * ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [/usr/local/games/epsxe/bios/SCPH1001.BIN].
 * Init internal cdrom ... ok

 * Init spu[0][libspu.so]
 * Open spu[0]
CD(0,2,16) read ioctl failed (25)
CD(0,2,0) read ioctl failed (25)

Then it simply freezes til I kill it. I've set Config->Cdrom to "/dev/cdrom0" and "/media/cdrom0" with no success. I know you can't simply rip an ISO of the game-cd and launch it, so I'm not sure what to do. This is on Ubuntu Breezy

Thanks in advance

Edit:

2 minutes after I posted this, I tried /dev/cdrom instead. And it works!

well in fact you can easily make an image of a cd and run it

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

ps

ignore my previous message about ffix, got it running now

Excellent, I'm going to write that into a simple bash script later to basically automate cd-ripping into the background. Thanks!
