PCSX/ePSXe on Sabayon

[malevolent]

Hi folks!

I'm coming back using sabayon since a few months and I was playing Final Fantasy VII on PCSX under Arch. I tried to install PCSX today in my new Sabayon installation but I did not succeed... the package is marked as masked at gentoo portage and at equo/sulfur it simply doesn't appear.

I then unmasked pcsx and its dependecies on /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

Code: Select all

#games-emulation/pcsx
games-emulation/epsxe
#games-emulation/psemu-cdriso
#games-emulation/psemu-padjoy
#games-emulation/psemu-padxwin
#games-emulation/psemu-peopssoftgpu
#games-emulation/psemu-peopsspu


and tried to install via emerge but it still fails...

Code: Select all

sabayon malevolent # emerge pcsx

Calculating dependencies... done!

The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:

# Joost Ruis: Old as wolfden!
>=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r12:1


Both pcsx and epsxe fails with the same error on x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r12:1. I have installed the newer versions of gtk+, both 2.24.4 and 3.0.11 but it seems it will not work with these version.

Anyone has got (any) psx emulator work under sabayon/gentoo? I put a ubuntu liveUSB I have at hand and both emulators works nicely (even PCSX2)...

Thank you in advance!

It is old and unmaintained.
Guess why it is dropped from Entropy (and masked for removal in Portage)

Sorry for being a year late and so. But now we can use pcsxr which is a fork of pcsx and currently in active development.

Just to let future readers know.

Just saw this post

You should have a look at PCSX2 ( http://pcsx2.net/ )

Unfortunately it is not in the Sabayon packages but there is a Linux version too.
