ePSXe woes. [SOLVED, I suppose.]

[aephoenix]

Alright, so ePSXe has been trouble from the start. After first emerge (and second, and third) it could not detect the plugins in psemu/plugins and their cfg in psemu/cfg. So I fudged it by throwing symlinks in /opt/epsxe to those two directories. I hate fudging because it always means something is wrong.. After linking, I run epsxe and it has detected both open source pete's plugins (sdl/x and spu..) which is good... But when I try running a game with the SDL plugin I get a segfault and when I try using the X plugin the graphics, well, suck. Here's some, uhh, output..

Running a CD with the SDL plugin

Code: Select all

 * Running ePSXe emulator version 1.6.0.
 * Memory handlers init.
 * ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [/opt/epsxe/bios//scph1001.bin].
 * Init internal cdrom ... ok
 * First/Last track: 1 1
 * Track 1:  (DATA) - Start 0: (00,02,00)
 * NTSC cdrom detected.
 * Init gpu[0][libgpuPeopsSDL.so.1.0.17]
Segmentation fault

Trying to run a bin/cue (i forget which one to use?)

Code: Select all

$ env LD_PRELOAD=libpthread.so.0 epsxe
 * Running ePSXe emulator version 1.6.0.
 * Memory handlers init.
 * ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [/opt/epsxe/bios//scph1001.bin].
 * Loading ISO Format  * Closing ISO system.
 * Error loading cdrombin [/home/harr/psemu/Einhander.bin]
$ env LD_PRELOAD=libpthread.so.0 epsxe
 * Running ePSXe emulator version 1.6.0.
 * Memory handlers init.
 * ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [/opt/epsxe/bios//scph1001.bin].
 * Loading ISO Format  * Closing ISO system.
 * Error loading cdrombin [/home/harr/psemu/Einhander.cue]

And now its time for the stuff which there is no output for.. If I emerge the MesaGL OR XGL plugins my ePSXe freezes when I try to enter any plugin menu. Which it also annoying, haha. I've also tried installing my own ePSXe/plugins but, well, that froze all the same with MesaGL/XGL.. and CDRMooby crashed it..

I'm clueless, a total noob, but help is appreciated. I've checked all the other posts but found nothing remotely similar.. I can give information if needed.. :s

---------------
edit: I fixed it by first running $export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libpthread.so

I'd like to use the emerged version but it never saves my settings, which is rather aggrivating. are there any easy solutions?

Have you tried running the linux executable from the epsxe site?
I remember having weird issues with plugins not working from the emerged version, but after I had switched to the binary one everything worked perfectly (of course after manually downloading and moving plugins into their directories.)

I'm sure there's a workaround for your problem with the emerge though.

Also- You've installed your video card drivers, right? I'm assuming "glxinfo | grep direct" shows that you have direct rendering working.

Yes and yes, I tried the executable from the epsxe website and the plugins from ngemu (i put it in its own directory in my home folder, and got the plugins from the internet too, and i had the same problems).. and I have installed my nvidia-drivers. (and enabled all that)

I have a similar but isue in a ati machine whith opensource drivers (I don't try the executable version from upstream, but for the rest my problem are similar with yours)
