      @Xercium Have you made the bin cue files yourself? And/Or acquired them from different sources? No need to go into the specifics but try to download a game from somewhere else. You can also try to find ps1 games that have been made compatible with the PSP ..they are a single .pbp file and should work as well.

        @Xercium Open up the cue files with a text editor and double check that the file name matches exactly, its case sensitive.

            @BobHarris I checked them myself, tried to get the roms from 2 locations (was trying to install CTR)
            Will try the PSP version. But will I get that version to work with 4 players?

              Furthermore I read that I needed a bios file. Same issue as with the roms so I used the same USB and placed the file in the bios folder on the stick, I used the file manager on the retropie to see if the file got copied to my bios folder on the retropie and it was there.
              

              Not sure if I installed it correctly, but now my games stopped saying that there was no bios. So I guess it is installed?

              What docs should I read?

                    @Xercium Yes 4 player will work too when you use a .pbp file.

                        @Xercium not sure if you are using the lr-pscx-rearmed or standalone but I had a weird situation a few months ago where I had a complete system working just fine and started on a new raspberry pi, transferred the same ROMs and bios and suddenly lr-pscx-rearmed would not load the ROMs on the new system. For the heck of it I updated lr-pscx-rearmed from binary. I had thought that would not be necessary since I just had built the new system from scratch. But then the new system worked. I saw in your initial post you said you updated the emulator but it didn’t mention whether from binary or source and if it was the lr- one so figured I would post just in case...

                          @BJRetro I think I did the lr. But when I went to update, I could not find the binary option. Only from source. I'm also not sure what the difference is :s
                          Thanks for the tip, this might be it. Will look up how to do it.
