Help setting up pSX in Ubuntu

Purkinje · October 5th, 2009

I'm a Linux noobie, but I want to get this emulator working in Ubuntu 9.04. I extracted the pSX folder onto the Desktop. I read the readme.txt file and I don't know if I have all of these packages installed:

Code:

OpenGL
ALSA
GTK
GTKGLEXT
libxml2

When I click on the file named "pSX," nothing happens. I've tried opening it by clicking on it, and opening it in the command line with sudo.

Could someone walk me through this?
Thanks

cut and paste the output in the terminal when running in the cmdline (sudo is not needed).

I meant to say that I tried to find a command that would open it. Can you give me the command to open it in the terminal? I tried one like 'exec open pSX' but the terminal just closed and nothing happened....

Thanks.

cd into the psx folder and try: ./psx or sh psx

i think there is a problem with the emulator using old libraries, and not supporting pulseaudio.

./psx gave me something.

this looks like a problem with PulseAudio. check out this one:
