I think I may have screwed up my PC CD ROM bios folder
-
Okay so I have the syscard 3 file in both my PC Engine Folder and Bios for Retropie, However they weren't working so I decided to download other bios files for PC Engine CD including some of the Japanese bios folder to play Rondo of Blood, once again didn't work, so then I tried to rename my Rondo of Blood game file to .pce instead of .cue and I would just get into the game but there would just be a black screen and nothing else so I deleted the other bios file in my PC engine folder to see if that would work and same thing. So I'm wondering is there a way I can delete the other PC engine bios from the retropie Bios? Cause when I looked into file manager I couldn't see them. Any help appreciated.

@RedBatman changing the cue file wont work. syscard3.pce (no caps anywhere even on the file extension) goes in the bios folder. Transferring bios with a thumbdrive doesnt work properly. You need to ftp into the pi. If all that is good then open the .cue file and make sure the binary shows the same name as the bin file including caps and lowercase even on the file extension and that is doesnt start with something like c:\

Okay so I don't have to worry about having the wrong file in my home/pi/retropie/bios/? Cause my main concern was bios files overlapping each other and causing errors. Since I have put multiple bios files into my home/pi/retropie/bios/ from my flash drive into the retropie, but I shouldnt have to worry right? Is there a way I could check to make sure
See I have the PS1 roms working in my retropie since I did the exact same thing when I put the PS1 bios from flash drive to retropie .

Also what do you mean by ftp?
-
@RedBatman ftp - file transfer protocol.
In windows you would use a program like winscp to sftp (secure ftp) into the pi to transfer files. -
@edmaul69 But like I said earlier do i have to worry about my home/pi/retropie/bios/ having overlapping PC Engine CD bios overlapping each other?
-
@RedBatman they might. But if the first one is bad it probably wont overwrite it with the good one.
-
@edmaul69 So how can i delete them?
-
@RedBatman if you have windows install winscp and read tutorials on ftp'ing on retropie.

@RedBatman Looks like you're going at this blind, and the more people try and help you the more questions you're asking. Start with this and then ask your questions: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/PC-Engine
Update: Are you seriously asking questions you asked 2 months ago?...

I even answered you back then with the same link... -
Well i got the bios working, but i still cant get Rondo of Blood working, Lords of Thunder works just fine though.
