/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so

Emulator: lr-pcsx-rearmed

Attachment of config files: standard config  (as far as I know)

How to replicate the problem:
Try to start game via emulation station - boot screen - black screen - returns to game selection in GUI

The Playstation emulator (lr-pcsx-rearmed) does not load games and causes a segmentation fault.

Everything else works like a charm on my system. Does anyone have a solution or can give me hints how to debug further? I would appreciate any help!

The Pi5 is not currently supported, support for it is currently pending.

Add to the config txt file this line and try again: kernel=kernel8.img

@mitu But the cool thing, I can say is, that it works nearly perfectly fine :-) So keep up your good work, and you could certainly support it!

@windg Thank you! Works. I am curious. Could you please elaborate a little on the topic? Why does this option help and what does it do?

Despite of my curiousity we can mark this as solved!
