@lostless Could you make "Atomiswave, Dreamcast, and LightGuns"?
Love your work. It is an awesome theme. Also, Will you be making it able to play the game video too in your future build? Thank for all your hard work.

@thewinterdojer thank you so much, I finally figured it out. As I am sure you knew, the answer was looking at me every time I went to that page!

Thanks guys! Something to play with at least. I'll figure it out eventually. :)

@Ikyrus are you familiar with the linux command line? if you could do this:

ls -l /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx

and then paste the output here?

@lostless said in Where is the virtual PSX memory card located?:

The srms are the memory cards. Pcsx makes a new memory card for each game.

Thank you for clearing that up!

@deano1349 install the playstation emulator and roms.

Unfortunately, I am technically not so talented to create a theme. ;-) Thanks for the link, that is already a start. Must times look whether it is still current and perhaps further processed. Thank you.

Been awhile since I've updated on this project. Ran into some hiccups and progress has slowed. The dvd drive was unstable as it wasn't getting enough power, adding a powered usb hub and a separate power supply to help with this. However unless I get help from a programmer I dont think Ill be getting it to play PS1 discs anytime soon, However I can still save the disc to ram or sd card so not completely useless. I recently got my psx->usb adapter soldered in would rather go gpio but couldn't get it to work.

Purchased an arduino nano to make ORIGINAL psx memory cards hopefully run on the pi.

Just go for a PS3 controller. Now mind you, you need to plug in the PS3 controller via microUSB, then finding ps3controller on the RetroPie setup.

This should probably help you.

@Lodan-Zark those Logitechs are also nice for the money too.

I have that converter or one looking just like it, but it didn't work too long before it stopped working(might of gotten a bad one) and was also very picky about the game pad you used when it did work on my PC. A converter is a good idea though if you have older PSX controllers. I still use my 20 year old PSX Asciiware fight stick with a Gameon converter on my PC and my Raspberry Pi just fine.

You missed searching the official guides. Do that next time instead of random youtubers that will get stuff wrong or leave stuff out. Though, something that's missing in the wiki.. "scph7502.bin" (not in caps either) works just fine too.

@JackTrades you're welcome.

edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh` paste the following into script (it checks if the system is psx, if so, play the mp4): [[ $1 == *psx* ]] && omxplayer -o both -b --layer 10001 /path/to/your/ps1.mp4 make it executable. chmod a+x /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh

The video I used was found

I know the topic is old but for for anyone interested: I tried many ways to compress this game and found no way the cd music will play consistently unless played uncompressed, in fact the rom I got the best results with was one with img/sub files (SLUS-00955) and is pretty stable (almost 700 meg though)

Its working now. Seems like between the time I installed it (last night) to now there has been a change. Running the update all packages resolved the issue!

Nice build

When you played them back in the days you played them on a normal TV, which has a lower resolution compared to the TV you're playing them on now.

@sphirst You can accomplish this by editing your runcommand-onstart.sh script, as @herb_fargus mentioned.

edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh then paste the following into script (it checks if the system is psx, if so, play the mp4): [[ $1 == *psx* ]] && omxplayer -o both -b --layer 10001 /path/to/your/ps1.mp4 lastly, which I'm not sure is even necessarily, but make it executable. chmod a+x /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh

In case you need it, here is the ps1 boot screen (mp4 format): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23611685/video/ps1.mp4?dl=1
