      @mitu So EVERY file including the bin files must be the same? Medievil has 2 .bin files and a .cue however the bin files are "Medievil (USA) (Track 1/2) where as the .cue is just "Medievil. Looking through my list now though there are bins and cue files that all match so that shouldn't be a problem.

        Look in the .cue file - it's a text file - and see how the .bin files are named - they must match the actual .bin file names. The .cue and .bin could have different names themselves as long as the .cue file is correct.

          I looked in the Dino Crisis .cue file as an example of a game that has no dialogue and this is what I found:

          FILE "Dino Crisis (USA) (Rev 1) (Track 1).bin" BINARY
          TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
          INDEX 01 00:00:00
          FILE "Dino Crisis (USA) (Rev 1) (Track 2).bin" BINARY
          TRACK 02 AUDIO
          INDEX 00 00:00:00
          INDEX 01 00:02:00

          And Tekken 3 that has dialogue and SFX but no music:

          FILE "Tekken 3 (USA) (Track 1).bin" BINARY
          TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
          INDEX 01 00:00:00
          FILE "Tekken 3 (USA) (Track 2).bin" BINARY
          TRACK 02 AUDIO
          INDEX 00 00:00:00
          INDEX 01 00:02:00
          FILE "Tekken 3 (USA) (Track 3).bin" BINARY
          TRACK 03 AUDIO
          INDEX 00 00:00:00
          INDEX 01 00:02:00

          Looked at the other offending games and everything checks out, everything matches.

            If the filenames are ok, then it's a different issue.

                Just to be sure, please show us the output of this command in RetroPie's command console that you either get to by pressing F4 in Emulation Station, or by logging into RetroPie via SSH:

                ls -l /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/{Dino*,Tekken*}
                

                The two l are small L, not the number one. This will list all file names beginning with Dino and Tekken in the psx roms directory.

                If possible, please put the output in a code block like I did with the above command.

                You can exit the console by entering exit or pressing Ctrl+d.

                edit: Fixed the path in the ls command.

                      @danmac2 Sorry, I left out the RetroPie in the command by mistake. Please try the command again.

                      As for c&p, you can redirect the output to a file and copy that to your PC by adding > after it, followed by a (path and) file name:

                      ls -l /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/{Dino*,Tekken*} > /home/pi/output.txt
                      

                      The file will be created in the user pi's home directory. You can alter the path accordingly to put it somewhere else. You can check its contents by either cat /home/pi/output.txtor less /home/pi/output.txt.

                      less lets you scroll up and down in the file. Press q to exit it.
