Just a note about killing pulseaudio... by default it likes to respawn. At the very least you must change /etc/pulse/client.conf, in there there are 2 lines, make them look like this:
autospawn = no
daemon-binary = /bin/true
Otherwise no matter if you use killall or (preferably) 'pulseaudio --kill' you will get the respawn.
Another note, DONT USE PASUSPENDER, even if you suspend pulseaudio, pSX WILL try to use it and crash anyway. The only way to prevent it from using pulseaudio is to kill the daemon since it looks for the process in the /proc and finds it running even if suspended.
One more thing: for 64-bit linux users, you must install the libgtkglext1:i386 and libglade2-0:i386 libraries. You will know right off if you didnt because you will get 'wrong ELF class' errors. Also, if you cant get the libraries to work, or you are trying to manually use them, you'll have to 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path_to_your_libraries>' to ensure that pSX looks for them there, this can be more than one place, separate multiple places with a colon (
and your good to go.
Thanks alot for the one golden suggestion which was to actually try to do this again. pSX has always worked better for me than pcsx, so when I switched to linux, even under wine, I was sad that I couldn't use it (and pcsx does not play Valkyre Profile at all, well at least not after the first part of the intro). So I was happy to hear someone finally had some luck with it. With that and some experimentation on my own, I was able to get it to work on my box, which is currently running Ubuntu (Kubuntu) 14.04 64-bit, with most of the 14.10 backports installed. I am a software developer so if anyone has more questions or just can't get it to work you can email me via this site.
