Playstation games not booting on retropie 4.2
-
Hi Guys.
I'm having trouble getting playstation games to boot. I am using raspberry pi 3b with retropie 4.2 and the psx bios SCPH1001.BIN in the proper bios folder.
The roms I am using are .bin followed by their repective .cue file and I'm also using .pbp
Is there any pre-configuration setting that I'm missing.
I thought that running playstation 1 games was straight forward.! -
Just to be clear, which emulator are you using?
-
Hi @mediamogul.
I believe I'm using the default one lr-pcsx-rearmed. I think that everything is default. I haven't tampered with this screen.
Didn't do any configuration on the psx side so I think I'm using the default.
Is there any setup that I missed? -
@Robotechvfx Try renaming the actual files without any spaces. Just a thought. Also the majority of your ROMs seem to be owned by
root. This could be your issue, owner should bepi. Did you create the.pbpfiles yourself? -
@AlexMurphy I didn't create the .pbp roms they were from a playstation romset.
Also the bin files should be usable because they have their .cue file.
I'll see if I can change the other roms ownership to pi, although Destruction Derby is own by pi and it still doesn't.
I'll try anything at this point. -
@Robotechvfx I understand. I'm really just throwing ideas out there for you to try. Also try deleting the BIOS or adding a different one. You never know. My
.pbpfiles work fine. They were obtained as EBOOT files, did yours come the same way? -
@AlexMurphy Yes they did. I didn't convert them and it's not a file ownership issue.
It was the bios the old bios I was using SCPH1001.BIN. And downloaded the same one from a trusty website and voilá problem solved.
Thanks for the brainstorming @AlexMurphy. it really helped.
