@budgingwhale922 Do you have a BIOS file?
The BIOS file is named SCPH1001.BIN

Place SCPH1001.BIN in (case sensitive)

/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS

What region is the rom? Have you tried downloading a different rom in another format? (.bin + .cue) or .php?

Retropie PS1

Have you changed the default emulator via the runcommand?

Retropie runcommand

Running ROMs from a USB drive

Path to locate BIOS can be found here!

Usually if you got Network Connection the BIOS folder is shared and you can place file there. If you ask questions here in the forum then read our wiki first.

@Lovelyboi said in PS1 - PSX:

@Darksavior So, do you need a rom and .bin file for every game? What about the BIOS. Is that just one file for all games? Thanks for the help. I'm waaay new to all of this.

You can read the link I posted for the supported file formats. I prefer to just download converted .pbp's due to being smaller in size and are only one file, which makes for a neater library.

As for the bios, yes, one file. There's different version numbers of the bios that exist. Just choose one.

Aspect ratio

No one have any idea? Something to do with hdmi timings maybe? How do I solve this?

@th3dll
Thanks! This was the only thing that helped for using my nes30 pro.
Only issue left is that I can't get out of a game with the select+start combo.
Do you have the same issue or how have you fixed this?

Edit: Nevermind, found the solution in the retroarch wiki. Was confused with the high numbers in the original config for the hotkeys but they need to be the same as the combo-key you want to use. Easy peasy :)

@ohmycommodore
It hasn't stopped it, but I think it's less noticeable.

Fixed: Don't run RetroPie Setup from EmulationStation, because EmulationStation doesn't want you to run as root and you need root to do the autologin changes. Sudo and run the RetroPie Setup from cmdline and then change your autoboot, everything's peachy now.

@edmaul69 A good suggestion, but I cannot get my "real" joystick keys to be anything other than they are, unless I somehow can remap them pr. game basis. Is it possible via a script? A remap-script on rom launch and a undo script when exiting the game? I think something like that will probably be the only way.

@japanwings Did you design and print that yourself? I'm trying to get 'a better bezel' printed.

@ayskura

Installing the non-libretro version of pcsx-rearmed gets me full speed with most ps1 games on a pi zero w... The problem is you have to manually set it up and i can't find any good guides (controller and directories don't seem to auto setup correctly so it doesn't find bios files and doesn't have a controller set by default).

Well I have no clue what did it but I got a different keyboard and it worked. I also reset the router so maybe that did it.

And the fact that most amiga roms are of the cracked games, not the originals!!!

The originals are out there. I have a friend with an amazing collection of original boxed Amiga games. He's imaged many of them to run on his more modern devices like the Raspberry Pi and they perform very well.

Thanks for explaining

Not a problem.
