        @Tackskull How did you 'reset' the emulator ? Maybe you deleted some configuration file that was needed. Get a verbose log when starting a game (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) and upload it to pastebin.com.

            @Tackskull You reset the configuration to RetroArch (not RetroPie) defaults and the system path is unset:

            [libretro ERROR] Firmware is missing: scph5501.bin
            

            As such, your emulator is not able to find your BIOS file(s). If you want to reset the RetroArch configuration in RetroPie, copy the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist over retroarch.cfg in the folder /opt/retropie/configs/all.

                @Tackskull make a copy of retroarch.cfg.rp-dist and rename it retroarch.cfg so that it overwrites the current retroarch.cfg.

                  @Tackskull I thought it was pretty clear:

                  1. Go to the /opt/retropie/configs/all folder.
                  2. Remove the retroarch.cfg file.
                  3. Copy the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file to retroarch.cfg.

                  Repeat the step for the psx system, as @quicksilver mentioned:

                  1. Go to the /opt/retropie/configs/psx folder.
                  2. Remove the retroarch.cfg file.
                  3. Copy the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file to retroarch.cfg. If you don't have the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file there, then remove the retroarch.cfg file and re-install the PS1 emulator, it will add the file automatically.

                    Thanks @mitu this helped me out.

                    Somehow I had managed to also reset the config. Doh
