psx emulator not working. tryd everything
-
Hey guys. Just looking for a bit of help. My pi won't run my psx games. I have installed BIOS and tryd upper and lower case letters. I have made cue files and unzipped Isos I have put roms and bios in correct places. I have added roms to other emulators and no problem. The psx games show in emulator although when selected it blacks with the option box popping up then puts me back to games list. Appreciate any help thanks

@benjiman what is the bios name? It needs to be all caps and named like this: SCPH1001.BIN
-
@benjiman Games still load without a bios but it'll warn you bugs will happen. Your games probably aren't named correctly in the cue files. The pi is case sensitive. Or just download/convert to eboots .pbp and save yourself the hassle and pbp files are smaller.

@edmaul69 thanks. Yea that's the one I have
-
@darksavior thanks. I cut and pasted the names to match exact. I will try the converter.
-
never mind.

I converted all my PSX games to the .img format. One file and much easier to handle. Slow part is converting them from cue/bin to IMG if you have a lot of PSX games. All run perfectly, but I'm running an overclocked Pi3B
I'm trying to remember what I used, its a simple bit of software but I can't recall the name at the moment
-
@steptoe Eh..even the most minimal of compression, eboot conversion is still my preferred way. Especially to convert multi-disc games to a single eboot file. You still need a cue file for .img.
It also doesn't hurt that just about every US release is already converted and it's more convenient to download those instead. -
I don't have an cue file for any of my .img files and they all work perfectly. I can't remember what converter I used, but I did also avoid multi-disc games as I tried the eboot method but some games still insist on manual 'swapping' the discs or save game problems between discs so didn't bother
What PSX games I wanted all work

It also doesn't hurt that just about every US release is already converted and it's more convenient to download those instead.I pretty much do the eboot way as well cause some of my games i have copied over to ISO's would total up to around 1.4GB which after converting them to eboot files it would usually drop down to a little over 900mb instead which i am able to add more games onto my Pi because of that.
