PCSX Reloaded on Fedora 11x64, SELinux enabled, will not start and hands out segfault

I downloaded PCSX Reloaded recently from the openSUSE repository maintained by its developer at http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...ora_11/x86_64/, and its site @ Codeplex.

The GPG key that I imported, while correct for the packages (9e82cc18, uid home:whistlerwmz OBS Project <home:whistlerwmz@build.opensuse.org>), didn't stop KPackageKit from spitting out a warning about installing unsigned packages.

I went ahead and installed them anyway, put the BIOS from my old PlayStation in the .pcsx/bios folder, and altered pcsx.cfg to point to it. Ran PCSXr, first pcsxr-1.9.83-5.1.x86_64.rpm and then pcsxr-1.9.83-1.1fedora.x86_64.rpm, from their respective download locations.

No joy and no difference in outcome . . . both packages segfault.

It seems strace might have located the problem.

Now, the question is, do I need to go ahead and allow mmap_zero for this app? Nothing on the SELinux troubleshooter indicates I might.

PS - Went ahead and confined it to its own domain, that took care of the mmap() warnings and allowed PCSX to start up but when I fired up a game PulseAudio's latency went through the roof within a couple of minutes and a kill -9 wouldn't let me close the application. Had to restart. Did I get screwed?
