How to get pSX to work on Jaunty

[rfrayer]

Ill make this short and sweet

sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1-dev
wget http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/pSX_linux_1_13.tar.bz2
tar xvjf pSX_linux_1_13.tar.bz2
sudo mv pSX /opt
cd /usr/share/pixmaps
sudo wget http://www.zodttd.com/wiki/images/d/dd/Icon-psx4iphone.png
cd ~
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/pSX.desktop

paist this in it

[Desktop Entry]
Name=pSX Emulator
GenericName=pSX
Comment=Play playstation games on ubuntu
Type=Application
Exec=pSX
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/Icon-psx4iphone.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Game;Emulators;

sudo gedit /usr/bin/pSX

paist this in it

#!/bin/bash

killall pulseaudio 
sleep 1
cd /opt/pSX
./pSX
sleep 1
pulseaudio -D

sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/pSX

here comes the great part were gonna tweak pulseadio so that it doesnt keep restarting every dang time we kill it

this is a long code so sudo su

cp /etc/pulse/client.conf /etc/pulse/client.conf-old && grep -v 'autospawn = yes' /etc/pulse/client.conf > /etc/pulse/client.conf-new && echo 'autospawn = no' >> /etc/pulse/client.conf-new && rm /etc/pulse/client.conf && mv /etc/pulse/client.conf-new /etc/pulse/client.conf

now add yourself to these groups and ya may need to reboot

pulse, pulse-rt and pulse-access

thats all your good to go as soon as ya find yourself some bios

or you can simply install the pre-build deb i mad

wget http://ubuntu.global-web.us/jaunty/binary/pSX-1.13~Jaunty2.deb
sudo dpkg -i pSX-1.13~Jaunty2.deb

Thank you. After following this, I only had to use getlibs to get the 32bit libgtkglex1 package (64bit Jaunty). After that, I was able to play Soul Reaver with no problems.

not a problem i figured i auta share this solution to a problem that gave me so mych head pounding grief lol

just brought this post up to say thanks to the author

I used the deb package, restarted the computer and it works excellent.

not a problem i know i went nuts trying to figure that out honestly to me psx is way better than epsxe especially when it comes to iso/bin compatability

soooo... i use OSS, and pSX doesn't get past the select language screen.

my terminal output looks like this:

seotechd@seotechd-desktop:~$ pSX
