PSX Bios installed but not recognized

@r3d007 do you have the correct sega cd bios for the sega cd emulator you are using? They are listed here. Caps and lowercase and correct bios per emulator have to match whats here

@edmaul69
now i've tried to copy the bios files and a game just to the sd card without using my thumbdrive. same result.

but the md5sum of my bios files match the md5sum in the wiki. now i'm more confused than before.

@r3d007 try giving 0777 permissions to the files. See if that helps.

@edmaul69
nope doesn't changed anything.

any other ideas?

edmaul69

@r3d007 stick them in their systems game roms folders

@r3d007 and try this with both systems. Dont assume because it didnt work in one system it wont work in the other.

the only bios file you should need for psx is SCPH1001.BIN
delete the ones you put in, download and add this one instead, restart the pi and this should work?

@w44dde you need to remove the link. Naming and linking rom sites is against the forum rules.

@edmaul69 my bad!

@edmaul69
Thanks now it works fine. I put the BIOS files into the rom folder and SegaCD games are running and no error message from PSX.
Thanks for your help.

@r3d007so i decidedto solve the mystery of why you had to put the bios' in the roms folder. if the retroarch.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/all/ does not have the line:

system_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS"

or it is #hashtagged out, or you edited the retroarch.cfg for those systems either manually or through the retroarch gui, that made major config changes then you need to put them in the roms folder. to fix this open up /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and see if that system directory line is in there. if it is #hashtagged out, remove the hashtag and save.if it is not in there, then add it. if it is correct open up the retroarch.cfg in the individual systems config folders and find the issue and delete or correct it. the rgui can mess things up when you are using it, hence why i never use it to configure anything other than core-options.
