No Playstation BIOS Found
-
Hi all, quasi-noob here diving deeper into RetroPie! I have a few Playstation games loaded into RetroPie. Some of them launch, others do not, but all of them do give me the error "No Playstation BIOS Found."
I had found on another forum to update/install optional packages for the emulator and I did so, but am still getting the error. Other forums with links were 2-3 years old and most had been removed. This is a Pi 4 with the latest retropie. If it matters, games that I am finding boot fine:
-Crash Bandicoot
-Tomb RaiderGames that freeze upon launch or just do nothing:
-Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone
-Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets -
Welcome to this forum. 👋
See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#bios
While both lr-pcsx_reamrmed and PCSX-ReARMed have an emulated BIOS to fall back on, it has limited compatibility so most games will have issues running with it (or not work at all), and all games that use memory card saves are prone to save corruption. It should be considered mandatory to manually install an official BIOS.
