downloaded epsxe, got petes video and sound, got a bios (got both recomended in fact). got everything configured all nicely and ran the bios as a test. comp crashed so i say "ok, ill just reboot", so i did. now in the config menus it says that video and sound plugins are "DISABLED" (in all caps too). no what the mutherhummer is that all about? ive used epsxe under windows and ive never seen that before. so... whats goin on?

/*System Stats*/

Mboard: Soyo K7ADA
CPU: Athlon 1.2 GHz
Video: Radeon LE
Sound: Onboard

Anyhting else? email me if so...

Make sure you read all the docs that come with the plugins, particularly the GPU plugin. Also, some sound plugins might cause the program to seg fault. Make sure you read the log that ePSXe produces to find out where the program is crashing.

Which distro do you have, gcc, etc. because epsxe with petes video segfault with some games (FFT and Castlevania for me), try with peops plugin and tell me what happen.

I just wanted to add the following (don't think that it will fix your problem as well, nevertheless it's an important information for all RedHat/Mandrake users):

CAB posted the following on my own small messageboard:

From the strace output it showed
that /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 was being loaded which for one or
another reason is different from /lib/libpthread.so.0 - I forced
a load of the one in /lib instead, and magically it works fine.
Both libs show to be part of the glibc-2.2.5 package -&- /lib/i686
is not in my /etc/ld.so.conf, so that particular one I'd assume is
being called directly. I'm not sure if one is a compatibility lib
or what - kind of new to this.

or, to make it short:

ln -sf /lib/libpthread-0.9.so /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0

should fix all segment fault issues with RH/Mandrake Linux versions.

for ne1 else (sorry i forgot)
ive slackware 8.0, gcc 2.95, kernel 2.4.18.... and thats all i can think of.
also, when i removed all the pulgins, it still said disabled.... confusing i think, but thats just me. its as if it dosent know the plugins directory is there

Did you make sure that the .cfg files that came with the GPU plugins are in the right directory? Read the docs that come with the plugins.

My segfault crap is solved thanks to you and linking the libpthread.so.9 to my /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0

also if anyone has troubles getting plugins to show up load up a console window chdir into the root of the emulator and type ./epsxe instead or make a little quickie .sh file that has cd /.../epsxe-dir
./epsxe

Hmmm...well I did that on my Linux insatllation, and it kinda messed up all of Linux. I couldn't open ANY programs. I could remember what it messed up but it was something about Gnome. I had to reinstall Linux because I had no clue how it happened... Now that I reinstalled, I have linux running fantastically, but I'm afraid of typing in that command...I guess I'll wait until the issue gets fixed...

shoulda done cp <thatfilename> to a .bak file then if linux screws up load up a boot'cd and run linux rescue and delete your softlink and rename the file, that would have fixed without reinstalling. But it seems to have fixed my problems with epsxe crashing.
