      Hi

      My actual setting is a RPi2 with 4.0.1 (updated from 3.X to 4.0 RC1 to 4.0.1), with 2 DS3 wired controlers.

      I mostly play PSX games with lr-pcsx-rearmed, and everything works perfectly, with my last setting in 3.X and now with 4.0.1. I love my Pi a lot!

      Today, I was playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, and I saved my game and exited the emulator to jump to THPS 3 (with start+select as always). I started THPS 3 and I got the message "No BIOS found ,expect bugs" and "Controller SONY PLAYSTATION 3 ... not configured". This is not my usual messages, normally I get "SONY PLAYSTATION 3 Controller configured #0" or something like that.

      I tried to restart my Pi, tried again THPS2, retried THPS3 (this wasn't the first time I played THPS3 by the way), always the same message. I tried other emulators for other consoles and everything still works.

      I tried updating the script and updating all emulators without success. I tried uninstalling lr-pcsx-rearmed then reinstall it (from binary and I also tried from source) without more success. So for now, all my emulators works well, but not lr-pcsx-rearmed.

      Someone have any advice to solve this issue?

      Thanks a lot for the great community!

        @sebacote first off, does it now not work, or does it work as before but with that BIOS warning?

        Either way, as you can probably deduce, you need bios files for PlayStation games. No idea why it didn't give you the warning previously.

        BIOS dumps are proprietary, so you're on your own obtaining them. Check out retropie's PSX page (Google), it'll tell you where to place them, and provides md5sums so you can ensure you have the proper ones.

          It's not because of the bios, I have it since day one, as I say I play PSX with my Pi since forever, I know the name to give it, I know where to place it, everything is done since I originally set my Pi!

            I updated to 4.0.1 today and i too get bios not found and controller not configured. The controller problem is because it keeps overwriting the /opt/retropie/config/psx/retroarch.cfg file. I put the old lr-pcsx-rearmed on and it still does all the same problems. :(
