Yeah, 2x is the highest speed it runs in a real Playstation. Use Nero DriveSpeed, as it's free and has always worked well, even when I first started using it quite a few years ago.

Cor, does it work in Linux, GM? Edit: <s<error>>... sorry, couldn't resist that, GM!

Doubtful.

Oops... yeah, I forgot for a moment there that we're talking about the Linux port here. Well, I'm sure you avid Linux users must know a whole bunch of good drive-speed limiting programs, right? ;D

It should be possible for pSX itself to send a SCSI/MMC SET DRIVE SPEED command actually.

Small bug: I noticed that pSX closes itself if the BIOS file is invalid (I had a uncorrect symlink inside the BIOS directory.

It shouldn't, liquidacid - it should give you the opportunity to browse for the BIOS. I just checked with mine; works fine.

It only tells you to browse for the BIOS if it's missing. If the BIOS is file invalid, it just restarts and does nothing -- you can always go to the preferences and change the path from there.

Actually, I just tried that, and it told me I had an invalid BIOS. Didn't close - I had the opportunity to set another BIOS. Obviously, it couldn't run the new BIOS 'till I'd restarted it.

Heh that's exactly what I experienced, only, I worded it incorrectly because... I wasn't thinking straight ;D When I confirmed/closed the error dialog, it disappeared, and the pSX window showed up a short bit later, which is why I got the impression that it "restarted" when, in fact, it was simply re-displaying the main window - Any way to load the CD drive directly via commandline? To answer my own question (in case anyone else is wondering)... using ./pSX /dev/cdrom works -- I forgot to test that before (I think) and only tried ./pSX /media/cdrom (which didn't/doesn't work).

Aha! I certainly was wondering - you must be soooo surprised! I also couldn't get /media/cdrom to work - it kept saying it couldn't find the correct format and going to what looks like a copy protection screen - until I realised it did this whether or not a CD was in the drive... At first I couldn't get /dev/cdrom to work either; then, I remembered that if I do this with the Insert CDROM command in pSX, it always shows my DVD-RW as default, and I have to change to my DVD-ROM, which I usually run CDs/DVDs from. I put the CD in my DVD-RW - and it worked! Ta, Ultima, that's some more text files I can set up to run pSX from... Any thoughts on how I can get it to run from my DVD-ROM?

You always need to specify a path to the actual device (eg. /dev/cdrom) rather than a mount point (I'm guessing /media/cdrom is where your OS is mounting the cdrom).

Oddly, Ubuntu seems to have decided today that my DVD-ROM is the drive it'll read from /dev/cdrom. pSX Author, you've got a method of identifying and selecting the available optical drives in pSX; is there a simple way we can do this in a terminal command?

Try ls /dev and look for some references to disc drives.

If you have a CD/DVD inserted and your OS has automatically mounted it (eg. on /media/cdrom) you can type "mount" to see which device it is....
