Re: [solved]sertchable list of avalable pacages

pacman -Ss <package-name>

should get you what you need. You can also use part of the name and it will give you a list of packages where the regex occurs.

If you would like more info on some particular package from the above list, you can do a

pacman -Si <package-name>

and it will give you detailed info about that package

For your specific problem, this might help : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Eps … n_emulator

If you want something like add/remove or synaptic, look at gtkpacman or shaman.

unfortunately libgtkglext doesn't seem to be in the repo. However I managed to extract the nesoserry file from the ubuntu package and dropped it into /usr/lib.

The emulater Im using is pSX, http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/. mostly becouse my memcard files are in whatever format that emu uses.
