No usable CD/DVD Plugin for loading images using Linux?!

[Forsaken87]

Hi there,

i just installed Linux some days ago (for the 50th time xD) but this time as unbelivable as it sound all worked (almost) like it did using Windows before. So i started to try out some linux only Apps....
First of all there is of cause PCSX2
After some trouble compiling PCSX2 i made it start up normally, set up the plugins and yeah... theres the problem...
I´ve got no DVD drive in my Desktop pc (using my laptop if needed which has one)
The only DVD Plugin that works for me is the EPP Polling plugin (which only accepts Devices which really exist. Creating a loopback device which has loaded the Image (/dev/loop/0 or like) didnt work at all.

Is there any way to play my PS2 games using images and linux?
I hope someone knows how to fix that or where to get a matching CD/DVD Plugin for linux. I´m counting on you!

(Sorry if there is a thread like this, i searched about 20mins before creating this)
Regards
Forsaken aka Jens

There should be at least 2 other plugins in there --- see the screenshot (though IIRC the linuzapps one needs custom build flags to open most DVD ISO images, as they need 64-bit offsets). Could you perhaps try running the emu from the shell and see if you get any warnings about missing libs or such that prevents the plugins being found.

when opening the settings window i´m getting these errors:

/windows/Emulatoren/Linux/pcsx2/plugins/libCDVDiso.so: Kann das Programm nicht dynamisch Laden
/windows/Emulatoren/Linux/pcsx2/plugins/libCDVDisoEFP.so: Kann das Programm nicht dynamisch Laden

Free translation of the error: Can´t dynamic load the program

What do "file /windows/Emulatoren/Linux/pcsx2/plugins/libCDVDiso.so"
and "ldd /windows/Emulatoren/Linux/pcsx2/plugins/libCDVDiso.so" say?

Well, nothing obviously wrong there . You do have a pure 64-bit OS install, right? (No /lib64 or such?). What does file say on the other plugins?

The only other thing I can think of is perhaps doing:
export LD_BIND_NOW=true
export LD_WARN=true
export LD_DEBUG=bindings
... and then run pcsx2 and hope it spews out something identifying the warning

[Forsaken87]

I´ve got Debian Etch (Pure 64Bit) installed with most 32Bit compatibility libs. The lib64 directory refers to my regular "lib" dir where the lib32 dir points at the compatibility libs (/emul/ia32-linux/lib).

spits out too much data to find the line where it loads the plugins... i´m trying to redirect output in a file

edit: got some output that might be interesting...

thanks for helping me btw

Got this problem fixed! Seems like my gcc or some header files were not matching when i compiled pcsx2... after recompiling pcsx2 and all plugins i´ve got more than only one dvd plugin for choice...
thanks a lot for your help
