      @clyde Also, that different emulators for the same system can require different bios file names/versions. (as is the case with lr-genesisplusgx and lr-picodrive)

      Problems running PC Engine/Turbo-CD games even with BIOS

      Re: Problems running PC Engine/Turbo-CD games even with BIOS
      I realize this is 3 years after this post; but if anyone is still struggling to make CD games work, after trying again and again and downloading the syscard3.pce file from different sources, even though MD5 matched on all, just in case some were corrupt...I finally got it to work by placing the syscard3.pce file in the ROMS folder instead of BIOS. Then, in Emulationstation, I clicked on syscard3.pce, which shows up like a game, and it opened the CD interface. Clicked start, and it began gyrating but didn't fully open. Pressed select and start on my controller to back out and THEN was able to play CD games!

      BTW, don't know if this fix will work for emu running on Raspberry Pi. I didn't have issues playing CD games on my Pi 3. But this was the only way I could play PC Engine CD games running Retropie with my Linux Mint x86_64 computer.

      Hi, given the line bios_boot failed to copy bootfile I believe the rom you're using is corrupt. It's failing to find the 1ST_READ.BIN on the disc.

      @cmdima You can usually find the BIOS information in the Docs. Also, please don't bump ancient topics, it's bad forum etiquette.

      @sssetz Thanks for the updates! Any luck since? Also, you said in your last post someone confirming they had it working for their RPi. What version? 4 I assuming?

      @Efriim said in Issue with psx and bios:

      Sometimes the default directory systems directory isn't right.

      Only if you move it, the RetroPie-Setup script will set it to /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS on install - hence all the docs referencing this folder.
      This usually gets unset if you use Reset Configuration from RetroArch.

      You emulators.cfg for the gba system is corrupted. It should be:

      lr-mgba = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mgba/mgba_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/gba/retroarch.cfg %ROM%" default = "lr-mgba"

      Replace the file with the contents I pasted above and re-try.

      A Sega CD game? That would probably instantly explain why it isn't working. I knew I found it in a pile of other TG-16 roms so that's why I stuck it there but if it belongs in the Sega CD pile then I'll give that a whirl.

      I'll keep picking at this one rom and emulator at a time.

      @hankola copied them via file manager and how I previously did it which was going via \RETROPIE.
      think I might need to do a clean install again

      Yes, I can see that I have to run most of the games I try at low settings. Not so worried about that, and the Dreamcast and Saturn emulators still have a ton of issues. However, I still want to try. Wish I could figure the exit issues out...... Kinda figured that would be the easy one....

      @tonythetiger
      That "Sniper Mode" bug is a known issue for Reicast. Check out their official compatibility list:
      http://wiki.reicast.com/index.php/Reicast_Compatibility_List?wap2

      I watched a YouTube video of someone on an Android phone using Reicast and they had the same issue (from 2014):

      More information here and here (both are also from 2014):

      @willreaper neo geo has several possible emulators that they could work on. You might want to try as many as possible to find a working one. I recommend trying lr-fbalpha and lr-fbalpha2012
