OK, so if you're anything like me, you're wondering how to emulate Playstation 1 (PS1) games on a modern Linux box. This is a bit of a slog. pcsxr does not compile on modern machines, pcsx-redux is an enormous pig (1G source tree?) and epsxe links against ridiculously old libraries.

I went through this, so you shouldn't have to. Here's a link to the official epsxe site. I think this or something like it should work for a lot of people.

openssl_1_0_2u will eventually stop compiling properly. I have a prebuilt libssl.so.1.0.2 and a README here, so try that if you get stuck on compiling it from source.

Please note, epsxe is the only PS1 emulator that has actually worked flawlessly for running the old and small, but still fun game "The Raiden Project" (both Raiden 1 and Raiden 2, top-down shooters, on one CD.)
