Though not entirely the same configuration (it was a Pi 4), I encountered an issue wherein after the boot sequence the display would be completely blank. I eventually narrowed it down to the memory split setting - I had changed it, trying to follow the instructions for RetroPie 'manual installation.' Keeping it default resolved the problem.

@mitu Glad to know I'm not the only one having the issue with Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1. The fact that both of these games play properly on ePSXe, using the same BIOS (SCPH1001.bin) and ROM files, leads me to believe that it's an issue with lr-pcsx-rearmed. I suppose, worst case scenario, I could try The Atari Collection 1 on SNES and Hot Wheels Turbo Racing on N64 if myself or anyone else can't figure out the issue on PSX.

@Clyde Thanks Clyde I'll have a look. Cheers for the heads up.

@mitu SCPH1001.BIN SCPH5500.BIN SCPH5502.BIN Only these three. Edit: There was more scph7001.bin scph5501.bin scph101.bin

@300cpilot Purge would remove the system's config files, not any user configuration files - that's a rule for all packages. Glad you got it fixed.

@mitu Thank you man it works i Just install a bios file and put it in bios folder and both of them works very good.

@dankcushions yeah, it's probably as simple as that. I just wish there were some way to fix the issues.

Thanks guys I'll install a psp emulator 😎

@thedatacereal came with a kit also it’s an lcd monitor

@bruno_mlopes IMHO if it's a Debian/Ubuntu based distro, RetroPie would work with minimal fiddling, so if you like Xubuntu - keep using it.

@BuZz I just saw that Libretro-Mupen works fine without Problems, and i love Retroarch, so im gonna use that Emulator from now on!

@janik1501 said in Black screen on first boot: @digitalmonkey doesnt work either This means that you are incorrectly setting up your card, your card is not compatible or your card is corrupt.

@simonster thank you so much for your help the code work!

Try and skip to the git clone part.

@dsfrancis that probably wont work. Rename a file from .bin to .sg . Then restart emulationstation and test. Will probably work that way.

@cdoug does anything show on the screen when you are typing?

@Nwoodward yeah i havent had time to yet. I was too busy lately. Please do report it to them. If you post a link to the thread you post in i will probably comment when i get a chance too

It was the SD card. Apparently nothing was loaded on it....

@BuZz Ah yes, you are right, I was confusing 2 different fixes ... Anyway, there are some improvements that we can do for Kodi 18, when it approaches the final/stable version I will talk to you.
