How-To install pSX on Ubuntu AMD64/x86
« Thread Started on Mar 26, 2007, 2:08pm »

So for Ubuntu, you can now install the latest pSX and Ultima's Frontend from my repository. Here's how to add it (copy + paste the following lines in the terminal):

For AMD64 & x86 Ubuntu "Gutsy" Users:

Code:
echo "deb [url]http://packages.dfreer.org[/url] gutsy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget [url]http://packages.dfreer.org/7572013D.gpg[/url] -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

For AMD64 & x86 Ubuntu "Feisty" Users:

Code:
echo "deb [url]http://packages.dfreer.org[/url] feisty main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget [url]http://packages.dfreer.org/7572013D.gpg[/url] -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

For AMD64 Users:

Code:
sudo apt-get install psx32 psx32frontend

For x86 Users:

Code:
sudo apt-get install psx psxfrontend

Original Post (Edgy/Feisty only)
Hi everyone. In case anyone has been wondering how to get pSX working on an x86_64 machine (specifically I have only tested this on Ubuntu Edgy/Feisty), here is a quick how-to. I will also be posting this to ubuntuforums.org and ubuntuguide.org.

sudo aptitude install ia32-libs ia32-libs-sdl ia32-libs-gtk
wget -c http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/un....buntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -x libgtkglext1_1.0.6-2.1ubuntu1_i386.deb libgtkglext
sudo mv -v libgtkglext/usr/lib/* /usr/lib32/
wget -c http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/pSX_linux_1_11.tar.bz2
tar xvf pSX_linux_1_11.tar.bz2
cd pSX/
./pSX

Hope this helps people!

sorry

I don't run fedora core, but basically want you will need to do is untar the file,
execute psx, look for the very first error (will often say something like "libgtkglext1.so.4 cannot be found".) You will then need to find that file and put it in your library folder (on debian systems it's /usr/lib, dunno about red hat systems), and run psx again. repeat until you have all the files you need.

obviously, this wreaks havoc on your library folder because short of writing down every file you put in there and manually deleting them, there will be no way to upgrade/remove those files. A better way to do it would be to find a rpm's that contains the library files you need and install those. http://packages.ubuntu.com helps me with finding .debs, but I wouldn't know where to begin with a red hat system.

btw, an easier way to install pSX in debian systems on this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=394097
I will try to find a rpm building guide and make one for you cyclonmaster, but if I make it you'll have to test it out since I do not have a rpm based system and don't really want to install one

debian is so much eaiser.

Stickied. Apart from dfreer's useful contributions for Linux users (particularly Ubuntu ones - see the Ubuntu Forums link in his sig), I'm fed up with having to look for it every time!

Wow, I've never been stickied before. Eh, so I figured if I'm going to have a sticky thread, I might as well get packages up for gutsy. Direct links and directions on how to use the repository will be in my sig and at the top of this thread, thanks patrickp!

Basically, I cleaned up the packages, made proper dependencies (as such, you won't be able to use these on feisty and pre-feisty), and actually got pSX Frontend packages up and running.

Making distribution specifica packages is great, but I like the "generic" way ^^'
I mean... generic if you use Debian based distros...

Well...
My way is:

- Download pSX 1.13 from the website
- Extract anywhere
- Install getlibs. It's a program written specifically to those who use x86-64 linux and face incompatibility due to the lack of 32-bit libraries. You can use it in many ways (read in this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 ).

My preferred way it to use it to autodetect the libraries needed and install them automatically.
So... save the file anywhere and install getlibs

Code:
cd /home/user/
tar jxf pSX_linux_1_13.tar.bz2

A folder named pSX will be created, so...

Code:
cd pSX
getlibs pSX

It will find any 32-bit libraries pSX needs and are not present and install them. It'll ask you for the sudo password too.

After that, just run pSX

@andrebait:

Thanks for the great program and suggestion. I'd struggled getting pSX to work in ubuntu hardy since dfreer's repo went down and your tip worked great!

I've made a couple of packages for intrepid, you should be able to download them here:

Unfortunately I've been experiencing issues with my repository software preventing me from updating it with the new packages.
