      @Thorr69 I'm assuming this is what you mean, but it sadly doesn't seem to change anything Screen Shot 2020-03-21 at 7.39.11 PM.png Where exactly did you end up putting the bios file?

        The BIOS location is fine - but you should check 2 things:

        • the BIOS file is correct - run a checksum utility like md5 over the file to verify it's correct (see the correct checksum at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#bios).
        • the .cue file is correctly referencing the .bin. Open the .cue file with a text editor and make sure the name contained in it is exactly the filename of .bin file. Linux is case sensitive, so if the .cue file contains an different name (like CRASH BANDICOOT... ), then it won't work.

          @mitu I'm sorry to say this doesn't seem to have helped. I'm still experiencing the same outcome. Here's what the .cue and .bin files are namedScreen Shot 2020-03-22 at 2.21.43 PM.png Screen Shot 2020-03-22 at 2.21.36 PM.png

            @MarcuFinx76 Then we need to know more about your system.
            Add the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and try to get a log file from the emulator (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) to see if we can spot any errors.

              @mitu Ok. I don't know much of the system as I purchased the pi through a Canakit package. Here is the link for it on Amazon;
              https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Starter-Premium-Black/dp/B07BCC8PK7/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=28174IN8UZ7XI&keywords=canakit+raspberry+pi+3&qid=1584908687&sprefix=canakit%2Caps%2C371&sr=8-1-spons&swrs=8DDC80F352B31245BA309525BD32413D&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyTlI2WUZDWkZFQzVJJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODU0Mzk1MUNZRkxRNDQyNVFLQiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzYxOTkyTFo5NENZVEVSWTFaJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
              When I got the kit I put it together and simply started porting roms onto the pi. No other changes have been made since then

                    Did RetroPie come with the kit ? Try installing the latest image (4.5.1) and update to the latest version, then try again to see if PS1 games work.

                      @MarcuFinx76 Also try out some different ps1 games and bios files from different sources...maybe your bios file is bad or the game.

                        @mitu I got it working by setting the emulator to "psx-rearmed" instead of "Ir-psx-rearmed". I want to double check if this is a safe way to fixing the problem
