Those are some troublesome problems right there. Of course completely worth fixing in order to get to play playstation games on the computer. I really like that era of gaming.

There was nothing wrong with the plugin itself. It was just a misconfigured cd-rom device.

Actually, this happens when I use the XGL2 plugin, one of Pete’s plugins. I switched to the MesaGL plugin just to find out the the mooby CD plugin fails in a ioctl syscall and, for some unknown / obscure reason, it hangs with this message.

…
* Open gpu[0]
* Init spu[0][libspu.so]
* Open spu[0]
CD(0,2,16) read ioctl failed (25)
CD(0,2,0) read ioctl failed (25)

So, guess what? I’m fiddling with the CD plugin right now. I’ll post again when I have news.

Cheers,
Luiz Eduardo

I’m running Arch Linux, and I am also having this problem. I guess it is something related to the video plugin, which I’ll try to recompile now. Running espxe ltrace’d gives this in the last few lines of output:

…
gettimeofday(0xbfffec88, 0xbfffec90) = 0
memcpy(0x84862c0, “\002″, 1) = 0x84862c0
memcpy(0×8486343, “\002″, 1) = 0×8486343
memcpy(0x84862c0, “\002″, 1) = 0x84862c0
XPending(0x853d1c8, 45, 0xb60ee3fc, 0, 0) = 1
XNextEvent(0x853d1c8, 0x8485fc0, 2154, 2154, 0) = 0
XPending(0x853d1c8, 0x8485fc0, 2154, 2154, 0) = 0
— SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) —
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
…

So I think it’s segfault’ing while in the video plugin. But I’m not quite sure about that, for I don’t understand a lot of ltrace debuging. Anyway, I’ll repost here as soon as I have an answer.

I am having the exact same problem on FC2, did you find a solution?
