First, make sure you installed the tools necessary to compile C programming code (such as GCC).

You also have to get your game controller working, but one thing at a time. I say this is the worst because there's more to padJoy than simply installing the plugin. You don't have to use a game controller to use PCSX (the keyboard works too), but you may want to use a game controller to get a genuine PlayStation experience. Unpackage it in Plugin, and then copy spuPeopsOSS.cfg and cfgPeopsOSS into the cfg directory. Getting the P.E.O.P.s Linux OSS SPU plugin, whose filename is similar to, is a nearly identical process. Now, copy the files gpuPeteXGL2.cfg and cfgPeteXGL2 into the cfg directory. There is no configuration directory by default, so create Pcsx/cfg (for example, ~/Downloads/Pcsx/cfg). Using your preferred method, unpack the file. The tarball you downloaded for this plugin is in a file similar to. Your distribution already may have it in place see the documentation for details or search your package management system.

If your system doesn't use OSS, you need to install and set it up before your sound will work. As you might guess from the name, if you know much about sound in Linux, this plugin uses the Open Sound System (OSS). Next, we install Pete's XGL2 Linux GPU plugin. zip, so use either your graphical file manager to uncompress it, or type unzip filename to do it by hand (for example, unzip scph1001.zip). Let's start with the easy ones, beginning with the BIOS. Some parts are simple to install, and some parts are more difficult. Save the file into the Bios subdirectory (for example, ~/Downloads/Pcsx/Bios), or move it there once you have it. Enter the name of the version you want to use in a search engine, and you'll find the files soon enough. However, reading TheGing's Guide to PlayStation BIOS Images (see Resources) will not only educate you more about PlayStation BIOSes, it will give you a list of versions to try. It's legally questionable to offer the BIOS content so I won't give you a link. 'Need' is a strong word-PCSX comes with a rudimentary BIOS, but many recommend downloading a real PlayStation version for the best game compatibility. In addition to plugins, you need a PlayStation BIOS. Either save them directly into the Plugin subdirectory (for example, ~/Downloads/Pcsx/Plugin), or copy them there once you have them downloaded. Otherwise, click the disk next to it in order to download the file. If you want to learn more about any of the plugins, click the home icon next to the entry in the listing.

The plugins I selected were Pete's XGL2 Linux GPU (video), P.E.O.P.s Linux OSS SPU (sound), CDR Mooby Linux (to use ISO files of my games instead of the CDs) and padJoy. Along the left-hand side of the PLUGINS section of links, click Linux Plugins to find your options. To find a good selection, go to the Next-Gen Emulation site (see Resources) and click PlayStation. Plugins provide the functionality you need in order to play your games.
