Correct location for PSX Rearmed Bios? Always selects HLE

BuZz

@a7mag3ddon the files in /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed/ are downloaded (the new stuff is the symlinks which are created to redirect the configuration)

a7mag3ddon

That cant possibly be correct, that 1 single change would / should not break the emulator, however.... even though its impossible and shouldn't couldn't it must be true. because that's the only thing i'm doing.

Whats the command to run to create that symlink manually, i will test it on my known working image, if it then does break it then at least we will know.

a7mag3ddon

Im sorry to say that (whilst waiting for another SD to write) i tried deleting the symlinked capital letters link and im still getting that yellow screen on boot so something else must be being installed at the same time ?

BuZz

@a7mag3ddon I have no idea - I would need more information to advise.

a7mag3ddon

ok how about the command to create the symlink to the file in the bios folder? i could try that without updating anything .

a7mag3ddon

I think this is the command

ln -s /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/SCPH1001.BIN /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed/bios/SCPH1001.BIN

just testing now

a7mag3ddon

Link created but doesnt work

only way to get this going is to copy a bios file to home/pi/bios/

personally i still think its a bug and the wiki should be updated to reflect it, installing a fresh build isnt really the answer to fixing it. Good for people just starting out but not for people who have already spent time making their retropie from scratch.

@a7mag3ddon it wont work unless your launch line changes directory - which is now fixed - there is no bios bug anymore. It won't work if you just create a symlink on a non updated retropie 4.1 etc.

I have removed/reinstall the latest pcsx-rearmed multiple times and it works fine each time. You have provided me with no information - no configs (as I asked for), no system specs, no idea of what you are launching and so on.

a7mag3ddon

ok can you please tell me what that line of launch code is so i can manually add it and test that too

a7mag3ddon

i can share the configs with you from the broken build if you think you can sort it without doing a fresh install, i also have resintalled using a fresh image and yes, it does work. but wiping the card isnt the solution.

BuZz

@a7mag3ddon I updated my post above.

Without more information this will be my last post on the matter.

The new launch line is pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed; ./pcsx -cdfile %ROM%; popd

a7mag3ddon

i just said TELL ME what you need, i will supply it!

be specific in your request for the files you want.

this isn't how you get help - be polite if you want me to continue to help you.

I need all your /opt/retropie/configs folder and the /opt/retropie/emulators/pxsx-rearmed folder as well as your /boot/config.txt

Tell me your system specs.

BTW you should make sure you are not overclocking etc when testing all this.

a7mag3ddon

i entered that line, fails to start emulator now.

I will get you the configs you have asked for, as i keep saying this a vanilla build, no modifications to any configs other than using Pixel theme.

i dont know what to say about system specs, its standard pi from a genuine uk shop, build is from website, pixel theme, xbox 360 wireless pad, sandisk 128gb card (and samsung evo+) no fans or sinks fitted. using hdmi with audio out from 3.5mm jack.

How should i get the link to MEGA containing the files to you when ive done them? post here ?

Thanks

@a7mag3ddon at the top of the page and when you register it says:

Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

it provides a checklist of information to provide when you post - which model of rpi for example and so on.

you can post them here or email me a link - my email is on my profile.

a7mag3ddon
