PS1 games stopped working after copying SD to SSD

Try re-copying your BIOS files to $HOME/RetroPie/BIOS.
I see that the JP bios is loaded (scph5500.bin), can you try with the US BIOS file (scph5501.bin or scph1001.bin) ?

@mitu thanks for the reply 😊
I tried re-copying the bios files but with no luck.
I'm not sure how to force the game to select another bios, but I guess I'll just delete the JP Bios for now. Let me know if there's a better way of doing it 🙂
I'll try it out later today and get back with the results.
Cheers

So yeah running it with schp1001.bin bios seems to do the trick! Thanks @mitu !
But I have no clue if that will be a disadvantage with some games or if it even matters?
Since I already replaced these files I don't think I can put them back in right?

You could, but as I hinted in the previous reply, make sure you got the right files by getting their checksum and matching it against the known good checksums.

@mitu
Alrighty I'll try that out at some point.
Do you have any guess to as why they stopped working?

Maybe a corrupted BIOS file during transfer ? FWIW, using a validated SCPH500.BIN does work:

I' m not excluding a core bug, so if you want to test again using the other BIOS file, make sure it's correct and if it's not working, do an update from source for lr-pcsx-rearmed and re-try.

@mitu
Rayman with scph5001.bin also works:
https://pastebin.com/ZAq3dcqM

With these two working I'm satisfied enough and just stop further testing. However if there is anything in particular you want me to give a go I'll gladly do it.

Maybe a bit unrelated question, so I hope it's okay to ask here:
You wrote this here:
"If you're using an external (USB/I2S/etc.) soundcard, you might be affected by the change - the system configures now (at least) 2 sound cards instead of 1 (as it was the default before the update). If you've disabled the on-board sound, then you shouldn't be affected."

The DeskPi Pro v2 uses an extension board so I'm thinking this might be my issue. But I havn't been able to locate any resource telling me how to disable the on-board sound like you suggest. Do you have any advice for doing that or guides I can follow?

Yes, it's unrelated. Open a separate topic for it, please and explain your issue.

I recommend having scph5500.bin for Japan region games, scph5501.bin for USA region games and scph5502.bin for Europe region games .

@windg Thx for the tip!

@mitu Alrighty and thanks for the help.
