      @streetsweep 2 of the 3 entries (4 total files) are the same...assuming you're using one of those 2 (recommended) emulators, you have the file you need.

        @streetsweep The recommended emulator for PSX is lr-pcsx-rearmed so use SCPH1001.BIN. This might come as a lower case file name, if so, re-name it and place it in the BIOS folder.

          @AlexMurphy so as long as I get the ir-pcsx-rearmed file the SPCH1001.BIN should be in there right

            @streetsweep lr-pcsx-rearmed is one of the emulators, not a file you need to get.

                @streetsweep No. Have you put the bios in the bios folder?

                  @streetsweep Pretty sure it's installed by default (it's an l, not an i btw). You can always check the setup program (see here: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation#installing-additional-emulators it's listed in the "main" section).

                    @liquidzoo It is. You don't need to do anything with the cores / emulators. He just needs the correct bios, correctly named in the bios folder then add ROMs to the PSX ROMS folder.

                              @streetsweep Then the ROMs aren't in the right format (or possibly the right place). Look at the guide again.

                                @liquidzoo I did what the guide said on getting the Roms downloaded them straight from [redacted - Read the rules] the moved them to the PSX ROM folder

                                  The rules here states not to say where you downloading ROMs from!

                                  You need to unzip and/or unrar the downloads first so you have a <game name>.bin and a <game name>.cue. Then put both of those files in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/ on your RPi.

                                  I don't have a PlayStation choice on the main screen I only have NES SNES nes64 and Sega

                                  you might not have one of the PSX emulators install because the default image of RetroPie doesn't come with it pre-installed (I don't think).

                                  Fast forward that video I posted above to like 15:28 and watch it until the end!

                                      @streetsweep ok now you need to extract it from the .ecm. You can google how to extract .ecm file.

                                        @streetsweep honestly though just google for psx .pbp files. Much easier to use a .pbp then bin and cues.

                                          @edmaul69 .pbp files will definitely be the easiest way to get this working.
