I just can't run anything on epsxe on my fedora core 4 box, even the launch bios fct doesn't work...

here is the console output, if someone can help me... thanks !

Probably some plugin(s) cause the segmentation fault, try to remove all of them and add one by one to see which one it is. Also you can recompile PEOPS plugins with --nothreads option and use earlier versions of Pete's plugs.

ok thanx i'm going to try that, just the time to find the sources.

Have you setup your gfx card to enable 3d?
I know when I first installed any linux distro 3d wasn't enabled (standard card drivers), had to download the drivers from the nvidia website and install via their shell program.
If you know 3d is enabled then ignore what i'm about to say.
Open up a shell console and type glxgears you'll then see another screen open with some gears spinning and it will tell you the fps etc. If its fast then 3d is on, if its going slow then try getting the latest drivers.

Also, do you have a tv connected or just using a monitor?

I don't recall how it was exactly, but peops spu had some threading problems, and would nead an specific version of libthread or libpthread or wichever it was. I'd suggest reading the readmes bundled with peops spu, it said something in there.

 

[pafLaXe]

mmm

anyway the problem doesn't seem to come from peops spu... even with another spu or no spu at all epsxe does'nt work...

thx anyway...

edit : thx for the idea but 3d accel is up and running on my box, with a crt monitor attached to the graphic card.

Go to gpu config, and check No "ATI render texture" extension box. You probably have an nvidia card. Greets.

 

[pafLaXe]

thx, i'm sure it would solve my problem, if only the config panel would show up...

I click on the config button, and nothing happen... just a dead button.

i'm using a nvidia fx5900 on a 1.4 ghz t-bird (sure i should have provided those infos earlier, sorry)

thx...

 

[Belegdol]

Are you sure you installed the plugin properly? You have to copy *.so file to plugin dir whereas binary and *,cfg file should go to the plugin dir. Also, don't use cdrmooby, causes segfault with other plugins if it is present in plugin dir.

 

[pafLaXe]

yes all plugins file was in right location, and i noticed quite early cdrmooby was buggy.

i did a fresh reinstall of my os, and i will reinstall epsxe as well soon... Maybe with more luck

Just disable ATI render-texture in PeoPS GPU plugin.
You have a GeForce, why the Hell would you refer to ATI instructions?
Hope this helped.
