Correct location for PSX Rearmed Bios? Always selects HLE

[a7mag3ddon]

Hi, i just updated from source and removed my bios files from /home/pi/bios and now its not picking up the bios from /BIOS like it should

did you mean to update from binary ?

EDIT : im not talking about lr version :-)

[BuZz]

@a7mag3ddon Did you update the retropie-setup script first ? You don't need to do the source install - just binary.

[a7mag3ddon]

damn, sorry i bet i didnt haha.. watch this space. ive updated lr version as well and that game now loads (still crashes and start of game though)

[a7mag3ddon]

Its worse now for me, boots game, either goes black screen and have to power off, or screen goes yellow and same, have to power off.

[a7mag3ddon]

tried 3 games and all the same, is there any version specific settings i should delete? ill try removing and installing again from scratch

[BuZz]

We are debugging the finding the bios issue - you can confirm this in the settings / options menu. There may well be game compatibility issues also. Please confirm the bios is now correctly found (works fine here).

[a7mag3ddon]

Sorry the emulator no longer works for me, just getting a yellow screen.

Tried same games that previously booted.

is there a command to check its picking up the correct bios now? the emulator locks up so i am unable to enter by pressing escape

[a7mag3ddon]

Looks like its crashing the Pi i am unable to putty in.

@a7mag3ddon I am unsure what the lock up is - maybe some configure option causing an issue - although a hard lockup shouldn't happen.

run this from a terminal and then reinstall it.

sudo rm -rf /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed
rm -rf /opt/retropie/configs/all/psx
rm -rf /home/pi/.pcsx
rm -rf /home/pi/bios

See if removing the bios file makes a difference (from ~/RetroPie/BIOS/SCPH1001.BIN) - if it does, please give me the md5sum of your bios

md5sum ~/RetroPie/BIOS/SCPH1001.BIN

[BuZz]

And please confirm you updated from binary not source.

[a7mag3ddon]

just for info whilst i re-install......

pi@retropie:~ $ md5sum ~/RetroPie/BIOS/SCPH1001.BIN
924e392ed05558ffdb115408c263dccf /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/SCPH1001.BIN

Ok somethings messed right up..

In my emulator selection screen i have a 1 (blank line) 2 Lr-pcsx-reamred and 3 pcsx-rearmed

when selecting 3 i get a yellow screen and pi locks up. i am assuming the emulator is starting to run as i can see scanlines.

@a7mag3ddon

did you do the removals I mentioned ? You didn't answer my questions about how you installed.

Your /opt/retropie/configs/psx/emulators.cfg must have an additional line if it shows another emulator option. I can't reproduce the freeze - so please test with a fresh image (updating all packages from retropie-setup right after).

[a7mag3ddon]

@BuZz I only built this 128gb 4 days ago and have spent ages getting sorted because of the 360 driver issue. I really don't want to have to start again because of this.

Yes I did those lines in putty, rebooted. Installed from binary, rebooted. Tested.

I'll check my configs but all I've been doing all day now is this, nothing else.

[BuZz]

@a7mag3ddon sounds like you used some unofficial image. You could test on another sdcard for example.

[a7mag3ddon]

no sorry, i dont believe in using other peoples images. i got the vannila 4.1 from the download section and built it myself, especially as i already have a full tosec and no intro sets on the PC.

[a7mag3ddon]

i have a backup of my card from 2 days ago, i will remove the dirs using the script you asked me to use and re copy just the emulator back and see if the yellow screen of death dissapears, i will also check before to see if those extra lines of code are in the config first.

the image i used is > retropie-4.1-rpi2_rpi3.img file date 5/11/2016

[a7mag3ddon]

This is the psx confing doesnt seem to be any extra content but i still have 1 blank entry on the list of available emulators.

lr-pcsx-rearmed = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
pcsx-rearmed = "pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed; /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed/pcsx -cdfile %ROM%; popd"

[a7mag3ddon]

Well something is completely knackered now, even though i have removed psxrearmed using retropie menu, my choose default emulator screen not only has the blank line on number 1, but still shows options 2 and 3 as well.

@a7mag3ddon zip your configs up and I'll take a look.
