@ChristianG ha! That is far from true.....I just try to learn as much as possible. Take a look at some other threads were I am asking others for help with coding and scripts.

I will have a look at your other thread.

@lostless said in Where is the virtual PSX memory card located?:

The srms are the memory cards. Pcsx makes a new memory card for each game.

Thank you for clearing that up!

I'm not 100% sure about the hdmi_timings= because it would have to be what ever your CRT is actually using. I've been kind of looking around to see if I can find more information about that.

Ive hooked my pi to multiple different monitors with different resolutions via hdmi through passive dvi converters and the OS always seems to auto fit.

Nice thing about the Pi is it's small and portable, take it to the tv and test it before you buy it, i do that at the salvation army shop sometimes when picking out CRT's, haha.

@TheNorseman if you had enabled ssh prior to this issue, you shouldnt have to do that.

Ok, i did.

@BennieB I suggest you read above and see what @DJfist did.

@spud11
Yes that is correct eta prime.

@jay81uk

holes int the Pi are ⌀ 3 mm

Open /opt/retropie/configs/n64/emulator.cfg and replace 640x480 with 854x480 and 320x240 with 427x240. Also open mupen64plus.cfg in the same directory and set the right aspect (16/9 or stretch) under section GLideN64.

@pjft yes, but once it freezes you can't do anything. I had it happen to me and once you get stuck on the same update line for a long time, nothing brings you back. You have to interrupt it before it freezes.

@sselph Sorry, the problem was my own ineptitude. I was typing "/opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper" when running it, I missed a directory in there. Problem resolved. Thanks for the response!

@jaydeesox
For some reason the menu defaults to the dvi cable. Once unplugged this issue goes away and reverts to HDMI only

@badwolf said in Need help with running MGS on playstation:

i havent learned about the bios for games where should i be placing it

Why not? https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/ It seems you still have not read the link you agreed to read when you signed up and which is at the top of the page and which I linked above:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

where should i be placing it and getting it?

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules also, @Aryetis told you not to ask this. Please read the very detailed documentation provided.

@Swain224

Unfortunately, the guide I linked to above is about as easy as it gets and there's no GUI. If you have the basics in place, adding a button combination with the 'B' and 'A' set to act as 'start' would look like:

--ui-buttonmap b+a=start

It should be noted that the learning curve for all this is pretty high. However, it does get easier over time if it's something you want to explore. Also, while handy for Emulation Station, this really wouldn't be ideal for game play, as there are plenty of times where any two buttons will need to be pressed to trigger a game event and the game will only ever see your chosen combination as being the 'start' button. Of course, the mapping can be disabled once a game is launched, so there are possible work-arounds, but you're always going to be at a disadvantage with so few buttons.

That's correct meleu. I don't necessarily want to change who is player one and player 2. I'm just trying to be lazy and not have to get out player one joystick to use the hotkeys. Thank you all again for your responses. Great community we have here, always so helpful and responsive it restores my faith a but in humanity.
