PCSXR on Ubuntu : /libpcsxcore/ix86_64/ix86-64.c:160: MEMADDR_OP: Assertion `!isreg || reg != X86_TEMP’ failed

Problem:

After installing the PlayStation 1 emulator PCSXR from the Ubuntu repo I would get the below error whenever I tried to run a disk or a disk image.

pcsxr: ../libpcsxcore/ix86_64/ix86-64.c:160: MEMADDR_OP: Assertion `!isreg || reg != X86_TEMP' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

Solution:

• In your home directory view hidden folders by pressing CTRL+H and open the .pcsxr folder
• Edit the pcsxr.cfg file
• Change the CPU value from 0 to 1. This apparently “disables dynamic binary translation in favour of a pure interpreter”

• Save and close the confiig and rerun PCSXR
