You're trying to make your SD card readable for PSX games without using terminal commands. The issue likely comes from trying to write directly to the SD card as a regular user. To enable read/write access without root, you can use tools like `sudo` only when necessary or adjust permissions via the file manager. Consider using a mount point with proper permissions or a different storage method if possible.
Have you considered claiming responsibility? Adjust permissions with chown $USER -R /media/[name]/sd. For a private sd card, full access might suffice. Apply chmod 777 recursively to /media/[name]/sd.
I finally returned to the laptop to take a look, and when I tried using the chown command, it reported a missing operand after the file name. After running chmod, it didn’t work properly. When I used sudo, everything functioned correctly. The GUI file manager allowed me to paste files, but epsxe didn’t. Running it from the command line caused permission issues and launched the GUI, though sudoing it led to errors and no GUI launch.
When using sudo and chown, root privileges are necessary if you're not the owner, which is typical for sudo. You're asking about the filesystem on your SD card and whether EPSXE is installed on the same machine as claimed ownership or elsewhere. It's also worth noting how EPSXE is set up, and I don't rely heavily on it. Personally, I prefer RetroArch with the Beetle PSX Core.
I thought the SD was on ETC4, but later I realized permission problems were causing issues. I backed up the data and am now restoring it to ExFAT. For EPSXE, I’ve paused for now and have a few GDC games ready to play beforehand.
