        The extension is wrong, because Linux is case sensitive, so it should be SCPH1001.BIN, not SCPH1001.bin.

        Make sure you search for the file immediately after starting the emulator and don't reboot the system - the file is erased when you reboot.

                  If you're using pcsx_rearmed as emulator, then the only BIOS is recognises is the SCHP1001.BIN one; the Libretro core (lr-pcsx-rearmed) can use other BIOS files and it doesn't care about upper/lower case. However, the standalone emulator (pcsx_rearmed) is the one recommended for a Pi0/1, since the Libretro core is too slow for those models.
                  So which one are you using ? How are you searching for the log file ?

                      Without a log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) it's hard to say why it's not working - having the right BIOS file in the BIOS folder it's enough.
                      Maybe you've changed the settings in RetroArch and it doesn't know where to find the BIOS ?

                        Can you give me a simple step by step on how to check that on the retro arch.
                        Tbh i touched the retroarch but i dont remember with having to do with bios.
                        Thanks a lot for your help!

                          RetroArch searches the BIOS in the System directory. Check where this directory is set by looking into the Settings -> Directory menu. First entry should be the System/BIOS - check what value it's set there.
