      @ivooc @mitu a PR has been made upstream by the current maintainer to fix the boot logo display on boot. Once merged it should be working again.

        @hhromic for what it’s worth I can confirm that on the lr-pscx-rearmed version where the ps logo option was still available and working Gran Turismo 2 both arcade and simulation have the error that @Efriim mentioned where it boots, goes to logo, goes to SCEA screen and then goes black screen. On the bottom of my screen on the retroarch GUI it says 1.7.6 - PCSX-Rearmed r22 if that helps.

          @BJRetro yes I confirmed on my end that GT Simulation is not working in recent commits. I'm currently bisecting the code to find in which commit it stopped working to fill an issue report. Will report back once I find it to keep people informed :)

            @Efriim @BJRetro I found out now that the issue with Gran Turismo is related to the same issue of the boot logo not showing during initial boot (same commit broke it). The PR waiting upstream does fix Gran Turismo booting too (just tested). So just wait for it to be merged and all should be back to normal (GT working and bootlogo showing on boot).

              Btw, the game currently does work with the "show boot logo" option set to disabled. The PR above will fix the option and the game when set to enabled. However, keep in mind that this option is still considered a hack and there are some games that simply don't work with it enabled. The maintainer upstream said:

              PR sent, which fixes original one that still shows bootlogo on reset if option was disabled.
              just reminding that some games will not load when using the bootlogo option(must be timing thing). i have at least 2 games here that i know wont boot with it enabled, or causes to game to freeze when issuing reset (i cant remember which ones though)

                @hhromic thanks for looking into this. I for one like the authenticity of having the bios/boot logo display when first starting a game.

                If anyone runs into any games where the boot logo causes compatibility issues please post them. Perhaps we can make a list of games that need it off so we can make config overrides for those games.

                  Update
                  The show bootlogo fix is merged now upstream. This should fix @ivooc @Efriim @quicksilver and @BJRetro problems, i.e. not showing logo on boot and also Gran Turismo not booting when this option was enabled.

                  You can test this simply by building the core from source in the RetroPie package menu.

                  @BuZz maybe it would be good to re-build the binaries for this core to avoid more reports regarding this problem introduced upstream, specially if you are planning to release a new RP version soon.

                        @ivooc Just update from binary, it should be enough.
                        Don't forget about the incompatibilities caused by using this option, if you get any problems running a title, try to run it without it. Remember that you can save options per-game, so if you find any game having problems with the option, use the Save options for ... menu to save a different set of options to be applied to the game.

                          @mitu hi I can confirm the fix works and grab turismo 2 plays again as long as I save a game option so that the boot to bios logo option is disabled.

                            Yes GT2 works with show bios boot logo disabled.
                            I'd like to add that the MGS slowdown is largely fixed by setting the PSX cpu clock to 82.
                            Whereas I may have said different, this setting requires a full reset of retroarch to take effect.
                            The slowdown in Brave Fencer is likely fixed by PSX CPU clock as well.
                            I couldn't say for Chrono Cross, the battle scenes may just improve a little.

                              @Efriim @BJRetro at least for me, Gran Turismo 2 also works with the boot logo option set to ENABLED, however, it takes much longer to boot after the first two disclaimer screens. If you wait patiently the game will eventually start. With the bios logo option DISABLED, it boots much faster.

                              Note that this is after the fix, before, it anyway won't boot with show bios set to enabled.

                                  @obsidianspider Update your RetroPie-Setup script and then re-install from binary.

                                    @mitu No dice. I also tried removing and reinstalling from binary instead of just updating. :-/

                                          @obsidianspider If you're still on a RetroPie 4.3 (Raspbian Jessie) or older image, you'll have to install from source after updating the script.

                                            @mitu I'll give that a shot. I've been holding off on updating to Stretch due to not wanting to reconfigure everything (at least ROMs are on a USB drive). Will report back after the source rebuild.
