PSX2PSP not loading at all on linux via WINE.

[ocasionallysunksmw]

Recently, i've been trying to compile ps1 eboots from roms that i picked up from CDRomance via PSX2PSP. Originally, i tried the native version, but it just game me this:

So i tried to install kde-config, but it said it doesn't exist. so, i went to old reliable packages.debian.org, and searched kde-config. kde-config-cddb exists, but isn't the same thing, so i'm just using wine. At first, i tried using vanilla PSX2PSP, but it would make a long ass string, and not boot. No error, no command access, just acts like it's running.

Then i tired Popstation PSX2PSP, but now it just makes a small string and sticks.

Anyone know what's going on?

I recommend using this program instead: https://github.com/pseiler/popstationr

You'll need to compile it yourself, but it's not that hard.

I don't recommend using WINE for PSX2PSP only because it is clearly broken and incompatible (if it doesn't work and throws no errors, high chance of it being incompatible.)

i'm used to compiling stuff from github, so this should be easy. thx!!!

Ignore that. You use the bin file instead.

you might try whereis kde-config. if it pops up somewhere other than /usr/bin , try a symlink with whatever you have. I think that's ln -s symlink name symlink location. it's been a while since I've used that command, so I'm hoping it's correct.

edit: nm, it's the opposite of windows, where it's symlink location then symlink.

sooo... i tried getting popstationr running, and it flashed me this when i tried finalizing:

user@penguin:~/popstationr$ make
cc -Wall -Os -I. -c -o main.o main.c
cc -Wall -Os -I. -c -o toc.o toc.c
cc -Wall -Os -I. -c -o iniparser.o iniparser.c
iniparser.c: In function ‘iniparser_load’:
iniparser.c:460:32: warning: ‘sprintf’ may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Wformat-overflow=]
460 | sprintf(longkey, "%s:%s", sec, key);
| ^
iniparser.c:460:9: note: ‘sprintf’ output between 2 and 2050 bytes into a destination of size 2049
460 | sprintf(longkey, "%s:%s", sec, key);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc -Wall -Os -I. -L. -L. -o popstationr main.o toc.o iniparser.o -lz -lm

Wierdly enough, this has never happened before when using the make command on github repos.

(ignore my other post, i think i know what your talkin' bout')
I searched kde-config in /usr/bin/... and it shows up 40 times (WTF???) dunno if that's normal, but ok. gonna go hunting for other "occurences". i'll get back to you on that. on the topic of symlink, i have no clue whatsoever

Those are compiler warnings you can ignore, it'll keep compiling anyway unless the developer has it set to throw an error on warnings. If it throws errors, then that is when you should be worried.

I've compiled it via Fedora WSL and attached it.

thx! while it did compile, i'm just gonna compare the 2 to see if there's anything missing (like a gui, or a proper command list).

Did you have any luck with this? Curious since I want to convert some isos to play on my psp too

Just try it. If it doesn't work, you can use POPStation PSP to convert PS1 games directly on the PSP instead - Although I can't guarantee compatibility or it even working well.
