Help with these Sega/Snes bios files??
-
@retrofreak89 read the docs. They tell you all you need to know.
-
@retrofreak89 sega cd bios normally go in the bios folder, but some people had to put them in the roms folder. They have to be unzipped. This link tells you what bios are used for what emulator. With retropie generally if you see a bios, with similarities in the names, you just rename them to what the pi wants them named to. And everything that is caps and lowercase have to be named exactly how the help pages list them. Snes and genesis dont require a bios.

Those people are just doing trial and errors without reading any documentation. They go in the bios folder and nowhere else.

@darksavior i just helped someone yesterday and he had the files in the bios folder. As soon as he put them in the roms folder they worked. There has been several people who had to do this with psx, sega cd and and other cd based bios'. Just because it is supposed to be in the bios folder doesnt means that is true in everyones case. And there are several emulators that they are listed that the bios' have to go into the roms folder.

@darksavior since i have nothing else going on i decided to figure out why some people have to use the roms folder. if the retroarch.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/all/ does not have the line:
system_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS"in it or it is hashtagged out, then you do in fact have to have the bios in the roms folder. also i would assume people who use rgui to edit their retroarch.cfg files can cause this to happen even with it correct in the main retroarch.cfg
-
@edmaul69 People also tend to mess with the retroarch.cfg or anything else without knowing much and it all comes down to user error. I've edited the cfg countless times and never got that problem. Might be caused by people that delete their cfg and generate a new one which might not be setup for retropie. Also, 3rd party images.

No Intro ROM sets do not contain all that crap. Get the real set.
-
@darksavior me i like manually doing everything. I have learned so much about the different configs on the pi by studying them and testing different things on them.
-
Haha @edmaul69 Just tell OP that No Intro sets do not come with that sort of nonsense. Please.
-
@jonnykesh he says he has the no intro rom sets. I cant tell if he is correct or not since i dont know where he got them from.
