      @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 .

            @RedBatman ftp - file transfer protocol.
            In windows you would use a program like winscp to sftp (secure ftp) into the pi to transfer files.

                @RedBatman they might. But if the first one is bad it probably wont overwrite it with the good one.

                      @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?...
