      Hi everyone,

      First, i would say you tank you for the job ! Very impressive !

      My problem is simple, most of PSX gamers won't start ! The only game I'm able to launch was Abe Odyssey. And it work great. But I tried to launch Spyro the dragon, Heart of darkness, MediEvil, Rayman... None of theme could start.

        @bumpshoveit It's against forum rules to link to ROM sites. Please remove this link from your post.

              @bumpshoveit To answer your problem though, PSX requires .cue files along with the .bin ones in order to work. If you read the wiki on this, it does detail it. You can either download or create these yourself. I'd suggest getting them from the same place you obtain the .bin images from as they're likely to match up and work.

              Edit- just read the it about you having cue files. Have you got the correct region of roms for your bios file? I'm sure it matters unless the roms are classed as universal ones.

                Thanks for your replies (and your advices). How could-I switch from bios to an other ? Just change the file in the folder and delete the old one ? Or could I switch it from a menu ?

                Thanks. i'm trying right now !

                  So I used a Euro BIOS for a EURO game, Same result in runcommand.log:

                  found BIOS file: SCPH7003.BIN
                  ...
                  unsupported/invalid CD image: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Spyro the Dragon.cue
