      My PS1 Experience so far on retropie 4.3 with raspberry pi 2

      Bios: Filename is called "PSX - SCPH1001.bin" - it is in the Bios folder (is this the right bios and right file location?)

      Games I've had issues with:
      Metal Gear Solid - starts to load and I just get a black screen
      Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit - Moves slow and becomes unplayable

      Games that work:
      Frogger
      Mortal Kombat 4
      Castlevania Symphony of the Night
      Tekken 3
      Madden 2000
      Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

          @dankcushions thanks for the reply, looks like I have to rename that file :)

            You should get newer bios as well, some games don't tend to work with that original bios from the very first Playstation version. :)

              @dd-indeed I'll do that. Renaming the bios file correctly did resolve my Need for Speed and Metal Gear issues but cannot get Tomb Raider II to work. These were the games I bought and ripped myself and can play in a pc emulator. I'll try getting an updated bios

                If you can get the PSOne bios (SCPH101.BIN, one zero missing), it is the latest one. Allthou, you also could try something like 55xx, 7xxx and 900x.

                  @dd-indeed got it. Tomb Raider II is the only one that wont work. Works on my pc but once you select Laras house or start new game is does nothing

                  But very happy about the rest of the games

                    @mtascavage It would have been ridiculous if Tomb raider 2 didn't work on the first generation ps1 system. The bios is not the problem, your ripped game probably is. You can find several tomb raider 2 iso's online, I am sure one of them will work.

                      Crash Team Racing (CTR) for me runs ok, but sometimes the other racers go invisible, and all you can see is the boost from their exhaust. I am on latest and greatest, not overclocked.

                          This is something that I'm keen to know as well. Could be a problem with the emulation itself, since no matter what sort of settings you have (even with stock settings), the game freezes up the entire system, if you retry mission. Hard boot is needed after that everytime, you can't even exit the emulation at all.

                                  Same, with the latest updates for Retropie + other stuff in it. Hopefully devs would try it out as well and log it as well.

                                            @Cornervizion said in PS1 games that have bugs in retropie:

                                            Dragon Valor (U) - The intro video stutters and pressing start reveals a splash screen in which that stutters too. As this is a 2-Disc game, expect this issue to reoccur upon booting the 2nd disc.

                                            Dragon Valor works properly if you set the playstation controller type to 'analog' in the options in lr-pcsx-rearmed before starting the game.
                                            I don't know why the controller type affects the emulation speed here.
