Problems Runing pcsx2 for linux

[oangelo]

I tested both the binaries on the site, but the 64 bits shows the menu with a good fps but I can't get into the game, the 32 bit version works, but is very slow.
It's strange that the 32bits binary show SS3 disable and 64 bits always show enable, I recompiled(changing the build options) but still the same problem, the game stops or pcsx2 close with a segmentation fault.

I am using
Linux/Gentoo
nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100] 256mb
1,5GB DDR

Please help!

extern "C" void cpudetectSSE3(void* pfnCallSSE3)
{
cpucaps.hasStreamingSIMD3Extensions = 1;

#ifdef _MSC_VER
__try {
//__asm call pfnCallSSE3;
((TESTFNPTR)pfnCallSSE3)();
}
__except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER) {
cpucaps.hasStreamingSIMD3Extensions = 0;
#ifdef PCSX2_VIRTUAL_MEM
// necessary since can potentially kill the custom handler
install_my_handler();
#endif
}
#else // linux
// exception handling doesn't work, so disable for x86 builds of linux

#ifndef __x86_64__
cpucaps.hasStreamingSIMD3Extensions = 0;
#endif
// try {
// __asm__("call *%0" : : "m"(pfnCallSSE3) );
// }
// catch(...) {
// SysPrintf("no SSE3 found\n");
// cpucaps.hasStreamingSIMD3Extensions = 0;
// }
#endif
}

SSE3 is disabled on linux 32bit systems (don't ask me why).

Do you think this is some bug in the emu? Because i think that has no SSE3 on my processor as show in the /proc/cpuinfo, can this make the emulator to stop or a segmentation fault???

[spread]

actually under x86_64 it assumes to have sse3 present.
so if your processor does not support sse3 change the

cpucaps.hasStreamingSIMD3Extensions = 1;

to

cpucaps.hasStreamingSIMD3Extensions = 0;

works flawlessly.

And where i suppose to change this? in witch archive??
thank you dude!

Ok I changed the

cpucaps.hasStreamingSIMD3Extensions = 1;
to
cpucaps.hasStreamingSIMD3Extensions = 0;

on the archive pcsx2/x86/iCore.cpp.
The emulator now shows Not Detected SSE3
but i sill have game stops or pcsx2 close with a segmentation fault on various games that suppose to work!!!
Any ideas???
