This looks right - so the re-installation did its job. Do this to get the file run the game, then exit the emulator. exit EmulationStation copy the log file to your ROMs folder with the following command: cp /dev/shm/runcommand.log $HOME/RetroPie/roms/ get the file via file shares from \\retropie\roms and post its contents on pastebin.com.

@markyh444 Okay. Mitu gave me a starting point to work from so I will take his advice and go from there. If I need further assistance I'll be sure to take the time to collect the necessary information first. Thanks for your responses.

@mitu Thank you very much for the Link , Very Helpful and Up to date So a simply answer is It doesn't work Properly at the moment we're waiting on an update on fixes

@sexbeer It only works on lr-beetle-psxwhich only works on an overclocked pi4 and pc's right now. In the future, it might be fast enough to work on a pi3b+.

@oscarw You can edit your original post and change the title to reflect that it's resolved.

@chubsta see if you can get hold of the PlayStation Mini console. Two USB PS1 controllers are included (but sadly not the analog ones)

@mitu I have no idea if it's some bizarre edge-case specific to my system, but that's what was broken on my machine and what fixed it - seriously, everything was allcaps CUE and BIN - both the CUE file and the BIN file and the reference to the BIN file embedded within the CUE. All in capitals. I confirmed before renaming that the BIN filename 100% matched the value stored within the FILE "..." BINARY reference in the CUE file. And I had no music in any of those games. Changing all the file-extensions to lowercase (including the FILE "..." BINARY reference within the cue file) fixed it.

@mitu Just a quick update. I compared the .bin/.cue files on my pi to the database. It turned out, that half of the .bin file was corrupted so I just had to put them again on my Pi0. And now MGS runs pretty well. Thanks for the help! :)

Ok. I read it to mean change the file name in just the m3u file.

@Tackskull .ecm files are not supported by the emulator, you need to convert them to .bin - https://visihow.com/Decompress_PlayStation_1_Games_from_ECM_to_BIN_Using_UnECM

Not only do PS1 games play on pi 3, they play rather well. Much better performance than most N64 games.

Hi there, So I left my Raspberry Pi alone for a month and when I came back to it I started fresh. I think the problem was with my HDD. So I think my HDD was previously formatted to exFAT file system. The only options I had were NTFS and exFAT. I found this person on youtube called Eta Prime and his videos were a big help, especially this one: It explains how to format your drive to FAT32 I flashed the image to the SD again and formatted my HDD to FAT32 and added the "retropie-mount" folder as shown in the video. Then I searched some more videos on his channel of which bios were needed for the different emulators and how to add the games. I found out how to "unECM" the ECM files from my PlayStation games and I'd say at the moment about 90% of the games work and I can save using the save state feature + via the in-game save mechanics. The emulators I have used up to this point are: GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, N64, Megadrive and PS1. So yes, I'd say the problems are now solved. Maybe one more thing I'd like to try is activating my RetroAchievements account so I can earn achievements on some of the games. I got it to work previously, but I don't know how anymore because it's been over a month ago. Big shout out to Eta Prime.

@washburngopro That might be run-ahead instances. I think the setting is found under "latency". Could set it to zero, I never use it but it is okay with some Nintendo games. The bios is good, you should keep it. Rarely (Arc the Lad Monster Tournament) do I ever have to use no bios. If your pi doesn't have any heatsink, airflow, cooling fan, radiator. It will overheat and the SoC/CPU will throttle undermining performance in some games. While it is possible to underclock and increase the soft/temp limit to get adequate performance for PSX, good ventilation is still needed when playing 4+ hours.

@mitu I checked out those points you recommended and they all seem fine. Im going to seem like total idiot now.. Everything else was fine but I just had to update the retropie setup. Then I updated the emulator again. I updated everything not too long time ago so I had no idea it could be that. I even uninstalled and re-installed the psx emulator and updated it before doing this. Now im wiser and can potentially help some other people in the future. I really appreciate your help, it pushed me to right direction.

@Ryan78134 Just so you know..if you buy a Raspberry Pi 3 you can play dozens of systems/handhelds/arcade boards/computers..but ps2 is out of its reach. PS1 works fine and N64 is hit or miss.
