@OldDucGuy yes, put it on a UBS drive in the bios folder and it will copy. there are no psx bios files on github - they are copyrighted content.
-
So I put a scph1001.bin file into my usb in the retropi bios folder and plugged it into the pi... it blinked for a few then stopped... but there is no bios file in the folder and the game doesn't see it either...
I seem to be missing some steps.

Had to look in the retropie bios and not the raspberry pi bios... found it... now to associate it with the psx....
-
@OldDucGuy there's no association needed. if it's the right file, and named correctly, you're ok. it's case-sensitive - see the link above.
-
Odd... it says there is no bios... perhaps either the roms or the bios is bad.
-
@OldDucGuy like i said...
-
@OldDucGuy it needs to be named SCPH1001.BIN Capsare important. And it needs to be in /home/pi/RetroPie/bios/ you dont need to "associate" anything with the psx emulator.
-
Your best of getting arcade version to work, after all namco game disks are emulators themselves so in effect your emulating a psx emulating the arcade game.
Pointless. Cut out the middle man.

True... I was able to get most of the games working in MAME except Galaga and thats the one damn game my wife wants to play....

I can confirm that Galaga works fine in lr-mame2003 with a 0.78 romset.

@rbaker I have all the parent and clone files... do I zip them together or keep them as separate zips? (hijacking my own thread into a MAME discussion)

@OldDucGuy
If you plan to run only the parent (Namco version) then just keep the parent. If you want to run a clone, you need the parent plus clone file if using split romsets, or just the clone file if using a non-merged romset (easiest). I see no purpose to "merged" sets (all files from clones and parent in one file). -
@OldDucGuy I just run the parent
