      @edmaul69 I am confused by this. If you put multiple ps1 bios files in the bios folder, then how does lr-pcsx-rearmed know which one to use?
      (I have a few EU ps1 games on my Pi as well, so it can't hurt to add some bios files to the bios folder as long as I know how to choose between them.)

      Pi 3B , 64 GB Sandisk ultra flashdrive, 19 systems, 872 hand picked classic gaming gems :-) Dual shock 4v2

              @sent1 how many bios's have you tried? The one I got worked perfect. You might try getting one from a different source.

                @bobharris just rename the bios’ like this in all CAPS including the .BIN. The bios’ might be named completely different but with the numbers that they need to be renamed with:

                SCPH1001.BIN
                SCPH750.BIN

                And so forth and so on....

                  @bobharris if you have the multiple bios it should pick the correct one.

                      @sent1 when you say it doesn't work, what do you mean? the game doesn't appear in the menu? it doesn't load? what?

                              @sent1 are your roms .bin/.cue, .iso/.cue or .pbp? If iso or bin open up the cue file and make sure it is named exactly like the .bin or .iso this includes all caps and lowercase. If the bin is say RESIDENT EVIL.BIN inside the cue file it cannot say RESIDENT EVIL.bin or resident evil.BIN. Has to all match exact.

                                This^. Also, as far as games go, I think it's easiest is to just use .pbp files, they drop right in and should work out of the box, so to speak.

                                  The game i test is a Pbp file. I generate it with the converter

                                    @sent1 Try to obtain a .pbp file for the game. Sometimes the compression can cause issues if you do it yourself. If you look online for PSX to PSP iso you should get what you need.

                                      I've never had any sort of luck converting TO .pbp myself, fwiw. I think if you can get the proper file right out of the gate, you're much better off
