lr-pcsx-rearmed doesn't start roms after updating

[Juicebag85]

Hi.

Just installed Retropie 4.2 and played a few PSX Games on it, which worked just fine.

Then I updated everything with the RetropieSetup-Script (to 4.2.20 I think; the newest version).
But after this update the psx games don't start anymore. They're loading but then the system throws me back into emulationstation.

I tried to delete the lr-pcsx-rearmed and installed it from source but that didn't help.

This is what the runcommand.log says:

Looks fine in my opinion. :-/

I'd appreciate your help. I'm pretty desperated. Thank you!

@juicebag85 try putting your psx bios' in your roms folder and see if it works. If it does work that way, i can tell you how to fix it to work the correct way.

I am also having the same issue here is the output I am getting:

I have tried removing/installing/updating, re downloading BIOs and putting them in the psx/bios folders.

I am using RetroPie 4.2.21, if I can't get it to work I will have to revert to an old backup image (ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS FOLKS!)

I just updated to 4.3 and the same thing happens, i'll try deleting config files tomorrow and see if that is what is causing it

@madmodder123
I was able to fix it by deleting all but one BIOS file (SCPH1001.BIN)
