SuSE 8.0 + ePSXe 1.5.2?

obsidian · June 13th, 2002

Hi all,

I ran 1.5.2 on Debian unstable and SuSE 7.3 without problems, but on SuSE 8.0 it justs segfaults immediately:

* Running ePSXe emulator version 1.5.2.
Speicherzugriffsfehler

which means segmentation fault. This is before any plugins are accessed! The menu doesn't appear. I don't think my download was corrupted because unzip didn't say anything about CRC. Has anyone had any success with SuSE 8.0?

Cheers,

Obsidian

I am running epsxe on Suse 8.0 without any troubles. I can't even give you any hint what
could be wrong on your system, since I didn't
need to tweak/change anything after the (fresh) Suse 8 install (I only needed to do the
auto-online update of the nVidia drivers for my
GF3).

SUSE 8 is a load of crap. I feel sorry for those who paid for it. Its super buggy and was rushed to the market. Pete you must be lucky because when I tried this distro it basically threw up on my computer. Being on 56k I dont like to have to download 100 megs of updates either for a boxed product. One of my friends had mixed results with it too. worked on one computer and didnt on the other.

Right now Im running mandrake 8.2 with kde 3. KDE3 is still a bit buggy but atleast it works.

I fell in the same catagory as Pete. Although i think I had to run it in single processor mode... it has been a while, so i cannot remember clearly. I have gotten it to successfully run on Suse, Mandrake, Red Hat, and some kind of retarded Compaq linux.

Hehe, well, my experiences are way different. When I used RedHat I always had to do a lotta tweaking/downloading until my system was (kinda) up and running. I am using the boxed professional version of Suse 8.0 right now, without any problems

Well, I had the same problems with Red Hat as Pete had. SuSE basically worked for me, but I don't like the style of updates (only security stuff), Debians is way better. I install SuSE on the PCs of my flatmate and my family, but personally I use Debian. Though I think its not important anyway what distro you use as long as it runs enough emulators

So your PC becomes your console...

PS: SuSE 8.0 install just threw up on an old K6-III/450 because they have these patches that enable Tagged Command Queueing stuff from the unstable kernels on IDE drives and the 9 Gig Samsung drive barfs it. It can't even read the partition table. I hate it when they produce crappy kernels and then the newbies blame Linux for being unstable :eyes:
