Hum, first your must be sure that the plugins is correct (no need to launch a game, by the way I'm not sure your game is supported on linux)

If zzogl is not loaded. Give me status of the following command > ldd libzzogl.so

The only plugin I can choose is GSnull... How do I get another one on the drop-down list? It said this on start up:

[wx] libCg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You need libcg (32 bits) version. On ubuntu the package is nvidia-cg-toolkit-pcsx2. If you are on 64 bits, use the previous ppa and install ia32-nvidia-cg-toolkit-pcsx2.

Okay, I downloaded that, but there is still no other GS options in the drop down list. Still just GSnull.

[gregory]

Could you just use the ldd command ? Check that the plugin found all library (a "not found" appears). By the way which version of ubunut do you have 32 or 64 bits (uname -m). The easiest solution is to install the ppa, it will pull automatically the dependency for your system.

Code:

# ldd plugins/libzzogl.so

linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7707000)
libCg.so => /usr/lib32/libCg.so (0xf6e42000)
libCgGL.so => /usr/lib32/libCgGL.so (0xf6de1000)
libGLEW.so.1.5 => /usr/lib32/libGLEW.so.1.5 (0xf6d8f000)
libGLU.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libGLU.so.1 (0xf6d1f000)
...

I am running 32bits. I tried the ppa, and it still didn't have anything but the GSnull.

And when I ran ldd, it stated that libzzogl.so was not found.

(Sorry. Am logged onto my windows console. Will post exact results tomorrow.

[gregory]

You must rename libzzogl.so with the correct name of the zz plugins in your plugins directory. It is strange that the ppa does not work, I guess I need to improve it.

[C.haos]

Okay. Got zzogl working. Now I have a screen. Only problem is that it is all cube-y like and wont even load to the playstation symbol. What do I do now?

[gregory]

Several possibilities.
1/ The game does not work with zzogl no matter what
2/ You have bad emulator options, speed hack and gamefix in both pcsx2 and zzogl. Try to play with the options
3/ Your revision is broken, try to compile from svn. Maybe without sse optimization.
4/ Your graphical driver is broken (as intel one)

Can you show me the GSzzogl.log
