      Hey,

      Sadly all my ps1 games stopped working on my raspberry 3. I added an extra bios-file and it stopped working after that.

      Removed it, but it didn't help. Als reinstalled lr-pcsx-rearmed and removed and added SCPH1001.BIN.

      Can someone please help me?

      Pi Model or other hardware: 3,
      Power Supply used: regular pi adapter
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.6
      Built From: downloaded via raspberry pi imager
      USB Devices connected: Mouse, Keyboard, PS4 controller
      Controller used: PS4 controller
      Error messages received: None, just freezes
      Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant): Parameters:
      Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Need for Speed III - Hot Pursuit (EU).img" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg
      Guide used:

        Have you verified that the BIOS file is correct ? The checksums for a correct BIOS file (SCPH1001.bin) are listed in the Playstation 1 page.

          @mitu Yes, the 1001 file was working before I added the 1000 file

            That's strange, since pcsx_rearmed doesn't support the scph1000 BIOS. Are you sure you didn't modify any core options - like enabling the HLE BIOS ?

            Enable debug logging when launching the game, then post the log file again - but on pastebin.com.

                @mitu No I didn't enable the HLE BIOS.
                I enabled the retroarch logging and this is the result:

                I don't see helpfull information in the logs myself but I hope you do!

                  The log seems fine - unless the BIOS and/or the .img file is not correct, there isn't anything that stands out.

                      • update the emulator from source.
                      • change 'CD Read mehod' core option from 'async' to 'sync'.

                          @NoobGamer It's in the Core option, accessible when opening the in-game menu with Hotkey + X.

                            Yeah, but I can't acces that because I can't launch the game.

                              You can remove all pcsx_ core options by editing the \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch-core-options.cfg file, this will reset all options to default.
