@nilsholgersson pcsx-rearmed is known to have a lot of compatibility issues, being fast enough on arm processor came at a cost... and don't expect fixes for this, notaz (the main developper) has been quite inactive for years.
Your best bet is to use either the original hardware or a more accurate emulator (i would recommend beetle-psx-libretro) on a hardware more powerfull than the pi (i would say something with a cpu as close as possible to 3Ghz)

nice! have fun :) for some reason tekken 3 used to crash after the ending cut-scenes in arcade mode, but other than that it worked ok.

Don't see a way to delete this thread otherwise I would....

we don't delete threads here :) technically this should have been in help & support, asked as a question, and now marked as solved. i've done that :)

I have figured it out. I had to download 7z1604 and unecm. I also had cuemakerdotnet previously downloaded. After some time I was able to convert my files to .bin and .cue.

The Metal Gear Solid .7z files I had to use each of them to finally create the correct files. For Syphon Filter 2 I downloaded new .7z files. When I ran the files through 7z1604 it created .bin and .cue files for me.

I tested Metal Gear Solid and the game loaded. Played just a the first part and it worked fine, both graphics and audio. Syphon Filter 2 worked perfect too.

I uninstalled any psx emulator I had and deleted all roms and BIOS. Tried again with lr-pcsx-rearmed, moved a rom over and BIOS file and still nothing. Anyone else have any ideas?

"nothing"? it loads and then quits or? can we have full file path and file name of game and bios please?

Sorry i didn't reply back, was out of town for work. Yeah so from ES, I can launch a rom and it goes black screen, then back to ES. Like I said before, this was all working as intended, correct BIOS, roms in .pbp format.

BIOS - located in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
(SCPH1001.BIN exactly)
ROMS - located in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx
(I've used .pbp format but since this hasn't been working I've gone and tried a few .bin and .cue)

Since I'm home and I have some time I'll install and config just pcsx-rearmed. I thik the problem lies in the lr core.

@skooballew Based on your description of the problem, it sounds to me like it very well could be a transfer rate issue. Some cards are under-performers on the Pi, so you need to be careful which card you select. As a rule don't get a cheap card. I did experiment with a USB thumb drive for ROM storage, and though it resolved the problem, it created a bunch of other issues, the worst of which was Samba no longer worked correctly. Therefore my recommendation is a fast card like the Sandisk Extreme (Not Ultra) series.

@AlexMurphy Ok. I think I figured out why. I tried transferring through the network and I'm getting an "exceeding a user disk quota" message. So I'm guessing my card is full, but I know there's no way I can be close to being maxed out. It will not let me expand the memory through retro pie due to running noobs. Is there another way to expand the size without having to reformat and lose everything?

@backstander Thanks!
