HOWTO: Install ePSXe on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and 32 bit.
Some credit goes to Franky06 and Gimox from this thread <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=550304> for starting the script and giving the idea.
These scripts will work on Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 & i386, any other are to be tested and confirmed.
Thanks to Zenazic for testing the 32bit.
The installers will install and fix all know problems for ePSXe 1.6 for Linux.
HOW TO
To use download the script needed and run it. Dont forget to set the ownership.
OR
Run
64bit
Quote:
Download and locate file in terminal
sudo chmod 777 ./installepsxe-64bit.sh
./installepsxe-64bit.sh
Quote:
Download and locate file in terminal
sudo chmod 777 ./installepsxe-32bit.sh
./installepsxe-32bit.sh
What it installs
1) epsxe 1.6 for linux
2) unzip if you dont have it
3) pete's plugins, P.E.Op.S. plugins, JoyPad plugins...
4) 2 mem card
5) an alias in .bashrc for epsxe
6) libgtk1.2, libgtk1.2-common, libglib1.2 for 32bit (even in 64bit)
7) change permition on the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/52libcanberra-gtk-module_add-to-gtk-modules to null (0000) (this can be revered just look in the script itself)
What you have left to do
Restart computer to get the libcanberra error to go away.
Download bios, called SCPH1001.BIN
Configure it in the GUI
Fixes
Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load module "libcanberra-gtk-module.so": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Errors
kukuku has pointed out that maybe, if you are Europe or somewhere els you will need to change the mirror in the script. Change it from "mirrors.kernel.org" to "mirrors.eu.kernel.org" or the place where you come from. Thanks.
If any problems shows in terminal or if you want me to add something just post here or email me at exadrid@gmail.com and i will try to solve the problem.
UPDATE
I can no longer fix this script or make it better because i have switched my Distro to Arch Linux (great people should try it out). I will still try to troubleshoot for people in this thread but can no longer try it out myself.
If anyone what to take over and fix it for future Ubuntu updates go for it. If no one takes over and it does not work on Lucid I can definitly help anyone who wants to try (even w/o much knolege). This was my first script and i think i did not bad at it (>200 downloads and not much problems YAY) and I would not mind helping out someone who is just starting off.
If someone does make a updated one, can you please e-mail me or post in this thread (i get emails every new posts). I would just like to see whats been added to it (by pure curiosity).
Have fun, hope it works for (at least) Lucid.

Does this work with normal games from the Disc Drive?
Re: HOWTO: Install ePSXe on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and 32 bit.
Hey thanks for the work you put into this, I appreciate it! I can now run my games without running scripts to run pSX! Now I'll try to do this on an old mac so my brother can play games!

Yes it does, i was not able to mount it normally in the computer but i just inserted it and took the option run from CDROM in ePSXe.
Also if anyone used the 32bit script and it worked can you please confirm it.
Re: HOWTO: Install ePSXe on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and 32 bit.
yay, first post, lol.
yes the 32-bit script does work, I'm playing Oddworld Abe's Oddysee on ePSXe now. :D
thanks for doing such an awesome script since PCSX is quite... um, unsightly. ;)

Welcome to the forum Zenazic!
I want to thank you for testing my 32 bit.
Re: HOWTO: Install ePSXe on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and 32 bit.
Hello,
Thanks for the script, running it on Kubuntu Karmic 64.
Was able to load the bios, but when I try opening an ISO I get:
Code:
* Loading ISO Format [BIN/IMG2352] (+subchannel) ok
* NTSC cdrom detected.
plugins/libgpu.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
or
Code:
* Loading ISO Format [BIN/IMG2352] ok
* NTSC cdrom detected.
* Init gpu[0][libgpuPeopsMesaGL.so.1.0.78]
NVIDIA Corporation
GeForce 9600 GT/PCI/SSE2
* Open gpu[0]
plugins/libspu.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Not sure what is missing, the plugins are working when I go to config. Any suggestions?
Re: HOWTO: Install ePSXe on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and 32 bit.
Did you run the script in superuser. (as in sudo ./installepsxe-64bit.sh) if you did, delete the directory with the lines below and restart not sudoing (it will ask half way in if it needs to). The reason i think is that the directory is in the wrong permition.
Quote:
cd ~
sudo rm -r epsxe
Hope this helps, if it does or does not, can you let me know so i can add it to the first post.

I tried the 32-bit version, which worked after I replaced the "mirrors.kernel.org" address in the script with "mirrors.eu.kernel.org". After setting the arrow keys to numpad keys, everything in the program itself seems to work perfectly.
