      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 ?

            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

              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.

                    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.

                      @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

                        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.

                            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

                              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.

                                          I worked it out from your configs - you should sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade on your system as you are not up to date with kernel/firmware.

                                          I'm still unable to reproduce the problem with your binaries and configs on a RPI3 I have here (Testing with Tekken 3 - loads/runs fine).
