      I tried @Nismo directions and then tested with lr-pcsx-rearmed and pcsx-rearmed and had the same issues with it loading up with the PSX logo intro then to a black screen. I believe Nismo is testing with the Beetle/Mednafen PSX core which is for x86 systems only.

        @backstander Yeah. I think the same. Mednafen isn't avaiable for Raspberry PI 3's Retropie.

              I broke down and gave the download a try. I was able to play it using the Mednafen PSX RetroArch core without any modification. However, using the same BIOS, I was unable to get it to load with any of the available PSX options in RetroPie. I know it's disappointing, but it could be that this game is simply unplayable on RetroPie.

                @mediamogul yes I tested on Windows but I think libretro cores are cross platform
                and the same improvements in all systems.

                  I might be misunderstanding you, but the Mednafen PSX RetroArch core isn't available for RetroPie.

                    @mediamogul I didn't know that core was not available. What cores available for psx in retropie then?

                        lr-beetle-psx

                        beetle is mednafen. they renamed it for whatever reason.

                        but... only pcsx-rearmed has an ARM dynarec, which means only those two cores will give playable performance on a pi system.

                          @dankcushions Then can somebody try with beetle even with poor performance? just to see if it boots.

                          Pcsx has not as good compatibility as mednafend psx/beetle.

                            I tried it with the same European BIOS that worked on my desktop machine, but it didn't do anything.

                              @mediamogul Strange... But @horaciowm seems to forget that emulators are not 100% compatible with all games, and not all games work the same in every emulator.

                                    @horaciowm Hello, I register just to be able to comment on this post.
                                    I am also desperate, all the games work except the ISS200.

                                      @machuna wow. I can't believe so many people are looking for the same game. We should form a club! :)

                                      Indeed, I had a hard time tracking down the game because even though I have the original CD here and can play it on my ps3, I no longer have a CD drive on my laptop for a few years now, and the game isn't released as "ISS 2000" here in Europe, but only ISS, which matches all the ISS PRO games instead:)

                                      Yes, I confirm the same. I have tested it exhaustively back in September and then around Christmas time after updating the emulator from source. Nothing helped.

                                      Was hopeful that the latest update would help but I see no commits there whatsoever that would seem to help.

                                      Might be worth posting a bug at the actual emulator project:

                                      https://github.com/notaz/pcsx_rearmed/issues

                                      Best.

                                        Try and download it from a different website like [Redacted: read the forum rules].

                                          [Redacted: read the forum rules] sounds like a pretty good website.

                                            @thepk The game it's not working in pcsx-rearmed, (it works on windows emulators), downloading the game from other websites will not make the game magically works.
