Beetle psx emulator doesn't run games

[Tackskull]

Hi there,

after I was difficult to run some games in hd, I decided to reset to defult the settings of the core. The resut now is that now I am not able anymore to run any game. Can you gys help me with this?

@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.

When playing I just opened the retroarch menu, I went o cofigurations and on "reset to default"

@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.

How can I do that exactly? I found the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist on the config/psx folder, what now? I have to copy the text on the retroarch.cnf file? Wich portion of text and where to pste it?

@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
