PSP emulator not working on New installed raspipi3

Glitchyboyhunter

Hey all i cannot get psp games on the pi for some reason, i tried both emulators and i uni-stalled them and re-installed em several times and its not showing up on screen but its showing up in the downloaded emulators (manage packaging) es_.systems.cfg has psp in there but its not showing up on the main menu screen even thought there are several games in there help please :)

@glitchyboyhunter Which es_systems.cfg file are you looking at ? Check that you don't have a custom file in ~/.emulationstation, it overrides the default/system system file.

Glitchyboyhunter

the psp line is in both those files @mitu

mitu

@glitchyboyhunter Remove the custom es_systems.cfg, the re-install the PSP emulators. Check that the ROM files have the correct extension (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PSP/) then restart Emulationstation and see if the systems show up in the carousel.

will try it some time around next week and let u know then cuz this is like my only day off to work on it and im heading out now thak you though and i hope it works

Glitchyboyhunter

@glitchyboyhunter @mitu hey im back mind giving me some step by step instructions on what you would do with that im so lost on what your trying to get at rn

mitu

exit Emulationstation
remove the /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg file
reboot the system

If the PSP folder doesn't appear in the Emulationstation menu, then check the https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PSP/ page and make sure you have copied the ROM with the right file extension to the right folder.

@mitu /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg is the exact file name i get rid of ?? or do i get rid of the psp directory in the pi?

Glitchyboyhunter

@mitu i removed it, now what just reinstall it ??

Glitchyboyhunter

@mitu hey still trying to figure out why psp wont work on my pi we tried erasing the file an reinstalling it but it didnt work :(

mitu

@glitchyboyhunter Have you verified the docs page that I mentioned ? What ROMs/files have you copied in the folder ? Please post your /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_log.txt file.

Glitchyboyhunter

I have no clue how to upload my text files, however i rebooted it and it is not showing what so ever, how do i upload my text file s?

Glitchyboyhunter

i also typed in for my text using the code u gave above however it told me my permission was denied :(

@glitchyboyhunter I didn't give you any 'codes', just pointed you to the file where Emulationstation might log any errors.
You just need to get the file from the Pi - you use a PC if you have one connected. You need to open the \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation folder in Windows Explorer and you'll file the file I pointed out earlier in that folder. Upload the contents to pastebin.com and get the link here in the forum so we can better log at the log.

EDIT: Make sure that Emulationstation is not configured with Parse Gamelists only set to On (https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#why-does-shut-down-and-reboot-take-ages), otherwise any new game/rom added will not be shown. If you do, then turn it off, then restart Emulationstation.
