PCSX-Linux woes! CD Help.

I have PCSX for Linux running Ubuntu 7.04. I'm trying to use PCSX to run my old Playstation discs but I can't get it to work. I have all the plugins that I've been told (on ngemu site) I need. When I run the program, and try to run the game, it just shows the dialog box to configure the plugins. It doesn't see the CD-rom plugin! Can anyone tell me a good Linux plugin to use to run Playstation games from the original discs using the CD-rom drive?

I searched all over the net for the plugin but to no avail. :(

Well the problem is not a simple one. I suggest making an ISO image of the disk and use those with a ISO plugin in PCSX or ePSXe. That's what I did, ran REALLY slow though because I was using an 800mhz machine and did not have GLX installed for my GF3 (yes I spent 250 bucks on the thing and it I never got the drivers for linux LOL).

That would be perfect but the plugin (either cd or iso) seems to be no where to be found.

Its like the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow :plain:

Ironically I just looked in this sub and noticed the question so I looked and new the answer since I had struggled with it before. I litterally 'felt your pain' :D
