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

                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.

                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.

                                @streetsweep if you find .pbp files they will probably be in a zip or .rar. You just have to unzip the .rar to get the .pbp file out

                                  I guess I just need an easier step by step way to do it because I'm not very tech savvy I know some but I guess this is past my limit
