The other day i was on irc and caught a part of the discussion about PS1 games on Linux. Apparently there is a emulator that will run PS1 games on Linux, up to 400% faster (and you have to limit the FPS or else it's too fast to play). I didnt catch the name of the emulator however.
Does anybody have any information regarding this? I'm off to STFW about this now, but wanted to ask here first to see if people are aware if such a emulator exists.
Thanks

I found an PS emulator on tucows at the link above. I've never used it yet is the only one I can find a good link on thus far... If I find any more I'll let you know.

I found many for Linux, at the moment i am trying epsxe and i found the PS BIOS (which is supposed to be hard to find, but wasn't really... ) It's just that i can not get video drivers to work, they either segfault or crash leaving my xterm in preatty much unusable state (newline character is not printed anymore and whatever i type is not echoed, if i type "exit" and enter it exits the term, but i dont see it typed on screen)
I will mess with vid. drivers a bit mnore, and then give up... After all im not a big gamer...

Did you install all the plugins for it? I remember something about the sdl GPU crashing epsxe,so get rid of it.
Psxfanatics has all the plugins and stuff.

do u need a game controller to play PS games on ePSXe or can u use the keyboard?

Actually you can Play using the Key Board
I use ePSXe, the best emulator.. it used to give me segmentation faults, but now I managed to get over the problem...
Try it.. you will love it!

It kicks arses. The inbuilt joypad plugin won't work though... You can get a plugin here:

The page seems to be down for the moment . This emulator is really, really fast. Some games run over 300 fps at my computer, but there's a fps limit as you said .

Oh yeah, just a little add Rockfire has released a couple of months ago, an adapter called PSX USB Bridge. Developed for WinSlow, if gives you the ability to use PSone and PS2 joypads at your computer, via USB indeed + Force-Feedback....
It works without any problems under Linux and was even identified automatically when I've started up. All you have to do is to load the modules and there you go . Well worthy for PSgames... and quite cheap
