PBPs won't load on PSX

theobik

I have the correct bios, and regular PSX games work. When I try to launch a PBP game it goes back to the menu. The reason I'm trying to do this is to play games with multiple discs.

@theobik Please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first so that we know which emulator / image etc.

My thought: bpb has not been added to the systems.es for PSX.
At least i had to do that when i set up PSX some years ago, i am not sure if bpb is there by default now.

BPB no, PBP yes, it's now by default added to the list of ROM extensions for the psx system.

@mitu of course: pbp! 😊
Thank you for this update, did not know that!

Out from nowhere i also recognized a problem with pbp.
My pbp of "Raystorm" did not work today 😐.
It worked before, it seems to be broken since i updated all packages with the upgrade to the retropie - script 4.4.4.

I solved it by replacing it with a bin-image of the game, but i wonder what happened? 🤔

I recognized that the emulator lr-psx rearmed seemed to be updated, retroarch tells me in the RGUI that the version is from 10/2018.
Does anyone know if something significant changed concerning supported game-titles?
In special in pbp-format?

That's the date the program binary was produced, not the version. lr-pcsx-rearmed hasn't seem any major updates lately so it's less likely it's the emulator. Can you get the logfile (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) taken with verbose logging when you launch the game ? Upload it to pastebin.com so we can take a look.

@mitu thank you Mitu!
I had a look in the errorlog of runcommand, it seemed to run well for what i read.
But i have to admit that i dont unterstand every single term that was logged.

I will post it tomorrow, i am at my girlfriend right now preparing hannuka-prrsents for tomorrow evening 😊
