Hello.
I try here because ePSXe IRC channel no longer works (says "read only", or the like), devs' emails seemingly no longer work neither, and I don't trust too much the Ngemu boards... Besides I saw 1 or 2 threads about this PS1 emulator in this section.
Regarding PS1 emulators, on Linux I already have used PCSX Reloaded and it's good indeed. But I wanted to test again ePSXe because of its portability (the emulator is just downloaded and ready to run from any directory, given due libraries are installed of course).
The thing is, I find a strange problem in latest ePSXe 1.9.25 for Linux when trying to configure controller. In the Windows version there's no problem, there's default configuration with actual keyboard keys. But on Linux I try to configure and I get just numbers by default in all buttons. Starting a game with this default config results in not being able to play. Game runs, but no controllers at all.
Tried to change settings with keyboard keys, of course. But when saving them, changes are never actually saved, always return to the default numbers. Same result if trying to directly edit the configuration text file -the one that is hidden-.
Then tried with just random numbers different than the defaults and even some weird characters. Result: when openning the controller settings again I got other different numbers, but still *numbers*.
It looks as if the Linux build was expecting an actual joystick or the like, and it wasn't able to read from the keyboard at all.
And the better part, ePSXe doesn't allow 3rd party controller plugins unlike the audio and video ones. It only uses the builtin one.
Can anyone help with this issue? That is, if there's someone who has used ePSXe on Linux...
If there's reply and you need screenshots, just mention it.
Thanks all beforehand.
