pcsx2: GS plugin failed to open #40834
Comments

Issue description
pcsx2 does not boot images, because it fails with the error «GS plugin failed to open. Your computer may have insufficient resources or incompatible hardware/drivers.»
Tried with both release-18.03 and master.
Also it logs errors, when started: 
I made a screenshot because my Plasma regularly crashed when clicking anything in the log window. Had to reboot the system after, regular methods to restart Plasma didn’t work.
My console output when starting PCSX2 looks as follows:
Steps to reproduce
Boot any image with PCSX2

Thanks for your report. The log window seems to be bugged somehow. It looks like the whole UI does only refresh when the log window does. So it’s best to just close it.
Each game needs different plugin settings. You’ll get that error message with some configurations/games (usually when the software renderer would use up to many system resources). Open up the GS plugin settings page and make sure that the correct video card and depending on the game the software or hardware renderer is selected. There are many videos on youtube about this exact error. Here is one that shows it on Windows. It’s not that different on NixOS—just play around with the settings. Some games will work with the software renderer, some with the hardware renderer and some on both or with artifacts on one or the other. Each game is different, performance and visual quality will differ depending on the game and your settings.
The PCSX2 Wiki is a good entry point to find common problems and configurations/workarounds for nearly every PS2 game out there. Just don’t give up to early, I got every game running with after some time of tweaking… With all of that set, you should be ready to play 🙂

@va1entin have you been able to resolve this issue or do you require further assistance? If you could resolve it or when it’s not related to nixpkgs please close this issue.

@hrdinka Sorry for not commenting the last few days, I’ve been too busy. Thanks for your comment, I’ll certainly reply this weekend. 🙂

Alright @hrdinka here’s what I’m observing now.
When I start PCSX2 the following windows opens 
The path /nix/store/92. does not exist.
Afterwards it tells me that it might not function properly due to plugins missing and offers me to open the plugin menu, which looks as follows:
i can open a dialog by clicking on «Configure» next to the GS plugin entry.
Also the plugin folder at the bottom of that window does exist:
hrdinka commented Jun 10, 2018
every time PCSX2 is updated its path will change (due how nix works). That is why it won’t be able to find its libraries. It seems that it has corrected the error for you. The wrong path above is different from the one used below, that’s why the path chosen below exists.
You can change the base path to something that won’t change due updates. Depending on how you’ve installed the program you can locate it somewhere here:
Besides that, does it finally work for you?
va1entin commented Jun 11, 2018
The debug window, which automatically opens when I start PCSX2, still crashes it from time to time. The error message regarding missing plugins at /nix/store/92. above still opens on every start up and the folder it complains about doesn’t change.
When I select an ISO and a BIOS with the correct version, it works though 👍
I still have some graphical issues, but I can play the game itself. So I guess PCSX2 just didn’t fix the plugin path itself, when I submitted this issue 🙂
Do you want me to keep it open to track the error/debug message behaviour described above?

Have you changed the login path to a non changing path as I suggested above? This should make the debug window go away.
The UI problems as well as all log errors in you first post …GDK_IS_PIXBUF… are all non PCSX2/NixOS related. They occur because you have not setup your GTK2 theme & engines. I assume that you use KDE. It might have setup GTK3 themes for you, but not or only partially GTK2. There are many examples online how to do this. KDE might help with this too. Usually you have to install a GTK2 theming engine (through nix) and a GTK2 theme that makes use of the installed engine. Further make sure that hicolor_icon_theme is installed, this might explain the missing icons.
GTK2 is really dated now, it isn’t that well supported by WMs any more and has many issues like being unable to work correctly with HIDPI screens. I always struggle with these applications as well…
hrdinka commented Jun 18, 2018 •
This repo is about NixOS & nix, a package manager, package repo and operating system. It looks like you’re not a nix/NixOS user and have downloaded PCSX2 from their official website. We are not related to PCSX2 at all other than packaging their application for our OS. This is therefore the wrong place to ask for help.
However I think it’s best to try to solve this yourself before posting there or alternatively ask on their forums and not on github. It looks like the only problem you have is that you are missing needed libraries. PCSX2 is 32bit only, when your OS is a 64bit installation you need to install all of these libraries in their 32bit version.
Since everyone who wants to use PCSX2 has to install these libraries you will find many examples and tutorials online on how to do this for your OS—in case the above link does not help.

I dont understand why I have those error. I had pcsx2 before with the same computer exept for 3dcard.
Ive pictured my error in those 2 picture I attached.
Im using DirectX 11. I dont know if I could change it to dx10 because I have the latest driver for me Geforce.
I also tried to replace ZeroGS.dll and GSSoftdx.dll. It worked for GSSoftdx.dll but I still have a problem with ZeroGS.dll (you can see it in red in the second picture)
Thank you very much!

What version of windows 7 are you running? i have Home premium 64-bit and this is the configuration i use:
GSdx 890(SSE2 version)

So those just aren’t working and I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve tried replacing the files with no luck.
ManaBarbie
Haha. I actually did download it first from another site after googling ps2 emulators. But then I did download it again from this site and I must have downloaded the wrong thing, the binaries i believe, not the installer. SOOOOOOO, I downloaded it again, the MSI Installer. BTW, the design of your downloads page needs work, it’s confusing as to what download belongs to what, I accidentally downloaded the linux thinking it was windows, and I’m not a noob web user (i’m a software engineer), yes, I’m a girl, and I do have my blonde moments, but those download pages need a redesign.
Anyways, it works now, thanks, I’m off to replay all my ff’s

Ok, well, I don’t think I’m smarter than the program. I just didn’t know I would have to install a DX9 version even having DX11. I didn’t know that. And I missed where you said that, because I only saw this thread pertaining to this problem. For that, I am sorry. But your offensive tone is uncalled for. I wasn’t offensive in any way to you or anyone.
