      Hi there,

      So I have got myself a Ubuntu 16.04 x86 install on a old PC i had, and want to run the lr-beetle emulator to achieve better graphics. I have installed the lr-beetle package and then changed the default emulator to use beetle but everytime i launch the rom i get a black screen and that's it.. no sound no nothing.

      I have made sure i had all three bios's (scph1001, scph5500 and scph5502) all named in lowercase and added to the same place i put the PSX bios.

      I have read that shaders must be disabled but i cant seem to find the option.. Are the enabled by default?

      Any help would be great thanks!

          @herb_fargus I assume you talking about the runcommand.log file found in /dec/shm ?

                It's looking for /home/matt/RetroPie/BIOS/scph5501.bin - you didn't mention that one.

                    @strutz a quick Google of the first log yielded the same result: https://github.com/libretro/beetle-psx-libretro/issues/26 ;) glad you got it sorted
