      @edmaul69 Thanks for the reply! I tried reinstalling from source earlier today. I will give binary a try soon as I can.

        @pointyboot i could be wrong but i think binary was the fix for some people having issues with this libretro core.

            @pointyboot not if you have the region setting in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg set to auto it shouldnt matter at all

              Thanks! Tried setting to "Auto" but it didn't cure any woes.

                  Any difference if you rename your .cue so it doesnt have the ' or the [], just call it tony.cue or something, and then same for your .bin (changing relevant name inside the .cue file).

                    @Floob Just tried all three and no change. I've tried many other games as well. The []'s aren't actually part of the filename but in the log output for some reason. I also tried many different bin files from around the net.

                      In your first post you mention some file changes you have made, do you have a spare SD card to try a vanilla install of RC1 and choose the quick install option and try from there?
                      Have you tried a different psx emulator to see if that works?
                      Does the bin/cue work on your PC?

                        Good news! I tried an alternate SD card install and it worked. I'll be more mindful before i make changes to the configs from now on. Thanks everyone for your help!
