The emu doesn't seem to come with options or plugins for cd-rom and input.

Has anyone else had this issue? I copied the plugins I had for epsx into the plugins folder for this emu - it recognizes them and lets me configure them (although I had to copy some of the config files into the root of the emu dir)...

But it boots me out, I assume, because I have no way to access the psx game in the drive and no input!

The version I grabbed is the version they have as of today.

As a side point, or, maybe, a main point - I have old hardware and no hardware 3d. VGS works very well in win98. epsx goes extremely slow in Linux - I'm trying this one in hopes that I can use the SDL plugin and perhaps use DGA to get a small increase in speed - any thoughts on this, or am I wasting my time?

I'm using a Pentium 2 class laptop.

You need additional plugins compared to ePSXe. ePSXe comes with built-in keyboard and CD-Rom support, for PCSX you need a pad plugin i.e. padXWin or padJoy and a CD-Rom plugin.

exactly, and u need to have access to CD-Rom drive (normally /dev/cdrom)...

Thx, bye
