darthlink

Now my emulation wont start because its telling me that es_systems.cfg cant be loaded.

So i removed the part i changed witch was the psp part and then everything is working back again.

Can you please tell me what is wrong with my psp part that make emulationstation not loading ?

there it is:

<system>
<name>psp</name>
<fullname>playstation portable</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psp</path>
<extension>.iso .ISO .cso .CSO .pbp .PBP .zip .ZIP .rar .RAR .7z .7Z</extension>
<command>bash %ROMS%</ROMS>
<plateform>psp</plateform>
<theme>psp</theme>
</system>

@darthlink not sure what a plateform is and tags have to match command does not match with ROMs.

Might just be easiest for you to delete your es_systems config and do a full install

i do not need to delete my es_systems.cfg because it is working right now with the psp part removed.

if that line does not match <command>bash %ROMS%</ROMS> then what should it be?

darthlink

yeesss a new advance, now psp is finally showing in emulationstation.

i added back the psp part but i changed this <command>bash %ROMS%</ROMS> to <command>bash %ROMS%</command>

the only problem now is that the rom i have in it witch is little big planet does show but it does not start. i get the error:

bash %ROM% no such file or directory

so anyone can help me to be able to start a rom in psp please ?

darthlink

now i changed: <command>bash %ROMS%</ROMS> to <command>bash %ROM%</ROMS>

and it still does not start but i get a new error when i start little big planet.

the error point to the .iso of the game but it says: cannot execute binary file

so i added .bin in the extensions but i still get the same error ???

how can i start the game ?

@darthlink
I posted the code for the system above

<system>
    <name>psp</name>
    <fullname>PlayStation Portable</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psp</path>
    <extension>.iso .ISO. cso .CSO .pbp . PBP</extension>
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ psp %ROM%</command>
    <platform>psp</platform>
    <theme>psp</theme>
  </system>

Some side notes:
XML tags starting with a word/tag name between <...> and end with the same between </...> so you can't just write another word/tag name at the end, they have to match

bash %ROMS%

And what should this execute? your iso file is no bash script

Thank you very much, its finnally all working. The worst is that i had put that command line earlier but i think i had make a mistake in it and it mau have been why it was not working.

So now little big planet does start but not grand thef auto vice city, i ear the music but i get a black screen so i think it is the rom because LBP works fine.

Thank you so much for all your help, you are really great ;)

DarkWolf

@darthlink
Haha, glad it finally worked!

so i think it is the rom because LBP works fine

No, doesn't have to! But I don't know if the emulator supports it... You might have seen this on other systems to, some games work, some don't.
If that makes sense.

@DarkWolf

Its ok, i am not a such a big fan of Grand thef auto anyway loll

May i stretch your help still on my other post about the PS4 controller please ?

I still cant play quake2 :( witch is a great game. I also saw quake 3 in ports and i had installed it but i could not see it anywhere so i uninstalled it. I dont know if it was only the engine and i was suppose to get the game and install it after that but in any case, i still would not have been able to play it if i cant get bot analog stick to work.
