(Fedora users: yum install compat-libstdc++-296. If the terminal output when it closes says libstdc++.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, then you need to sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2. If when you initially launch PCSX it says 'PCSX needs to be configured' and then just closes, try running it from the terminal.If the terminal output says something like error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, then you need to sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2. If when you try to load a plugin's config screens and they do not appear, try running it from the terminal.(Missing logo/configs and whatnot.) If this happens to you, then you must launch PCSX from the terminal. For some reason, sometimes launching the PCSX binary in KDE/GNOME doesn't quite work right.For me this rules out ePSXe, so I use PCSX. ePSXe seems to work well, but the controller configuration only lets you use the keyboard.Now that that's out of the way, we'll jump right in. You have an NVIDIA card with their proprietary drivers installed.(I have been told my guide works in Fedora as well.)

I've only tested it with Debian and Ubuntu. My guide may work in other distros, or it may not. You're running Debian or Ubuntu Linux, no other distro.And hardware requirements are a little strict. To make stuff work, you have few options. In my experience, PSX emulation is quite a bit more flaky in Linux than it is in Windows. I've decided to dedicate a page to PSX emulation under Linux.
