      @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.

              Actually on my pi the game freezes the system only if i use pcsx-rearmed instead of lr-pcsx-rearmed

                    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.

                                Just out of curiosity has anyone been able to get Worms Pinball to play on Playstation 1 emulators lr-pcsx-rearmed or PCSX-ReARMed? I just get a black screen on every attempt to run the rom. The cue file has the same name as the bin and i have my bios files. Tested the rom on pSX v1.13 emulator on my pc and it works. Thanks if anyone has the time to check it out or not.

                                  Worms pinball probably works, I haven't tested it.

                                  Possibly the bin filename in the context of the cue sheet, needs to match case sensitive, including the filename extension.
                                  Maybe known filename extensions are disabled from view, on your windows machine.

                                  Or what I would recommend, is downloading PSX2PSP from filetrip and converting the .bin to .PBP format. Virtually no performance loss, and fair compression. If the file has multiple .bin tracks, download CDMAGE 1.02B; drop the ".cue" on cdmage it should load the entire rom, then save the file with cdmage will create a single ".bin" file. If a cue doesn't exist, the playstation bin can be loaded as a M2/2352 iso track.

                                  or a cue sheet could be made, if it doesn't include cdaudio, copying an existing .cue from somewhere else and updating the filenames should work.

                                    @Efriim thanks for the reply!

                                    I checked the cue file by changing it to txt temporary to look inside to make sure it was the same title as the bin. It's a single bin thankfully.

                                    Will look into changing from bin to pbp format. Wasn't expecting anyone to reply back to me. I really appreciate you trying to help me Efriim! Have a good day or night.

                                      @Efriim well i ran that PSX2PSP_v.1.4.2 zip on virustotal got back these results https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0accd52cc5976d6860ca636167e6296c7b676b8d12e82b11833e0771bf3566f3/detection.

                                      Sure these two trojans detected could be false positives. About 10 years ago a virus destroyed the hard drive on my old computer. I'm not taking any chances really haha.

                                      Appears i'll have to give up on playing Worms Pinball on the pi and just play it on the pc. Thanks again for your time Efriim!

                                        It's possible, there isn't really enough information of the virus found to give it any clarity.
                                        It's also possible that this virus is not a threat, to updated windows machines. I don't believe it accesses any network resources, a comparable search through what is added to the registry might prove something, though it exits cleanly and doesn't seem to have any issues with temporary files. However it does lock .bin and .PBP files that are loaded into it.

                                        Alternatively popstation GUI 3,00 beta from wololo-gdrive

                                        Can convert to .PBP playable-archive.

                                        Were you able to check if the file extension (known file extensions enabled) is right? Windows explorer in detailed view will have an column for type/ext. It is just a chance, but maybe if .bin files are associated to a program on your machine then the extension will not be seen, unless the default setting to hide known filetype extensions is disabled.
                                        The file could end up being "Worms Pinball.bin.bin" if you had changed the name to fit the .cue sheet.

                                          @Efriim true. Gotta take risks on the internet i suppose. The community on virustotal had PSX2PSP_v.1.4.2 zip 24+ in the green for what that's worth.

                                          Will check out Popstation though. Just trying to be cautious has i don't have extra money to spend on a computer / get it fixed if i mess it up.

                                          This is the inside of the cue file for Worms Pinball after changing cue to txt.

                                          '' FILE "Worms Pinball (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).bin" BINARY
                                          TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
                                          INDEX 01 00:00:00 ''

                                          This is the name of the bin file '' Worms Pinball (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).bin ''.

                                          I have had to change a few cue file because they were named something else then the bin.

                                          Also i confirmed it worked on the pc ps1 emulator pSX v1.13.

                                            @Efriim Thanks again for the reply btw! Great info as always from this forum!

                                            But may i ask why changing a .bin file to .pbp format would make a game work on the pi ? I understand you are just suggesting another method to try to get it working. Just curious if this is common and proven successful in the past for you or others.

                                            I was thinking it was some sort of copyright protection. I saw on a forum somewhere ( possibly here) that some PAL games have protection.

                                            Thanks for the time.
