      @hunterjwizard said in Playstation 1 and 2 not working on x86:

      Executing: /usr/games/PCSX2 "/home/retro/RetroPie/roms/ps2/Drakengard.iso" --fullscreen --nogui
      /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1245: /usr/games/PCSX2: No such file or directory

      This means the PS2 emulator is not installed - that may be due to an upstream error. Looks like it's not installable currently.

      For the PS1 emulator error - enable verbose logging in the Runcommand launch menu, then post the /dev/shm/runcommand.log content on pastebin.com.

        Is there a guide for installing the PS2 emulator? I didn't find one and just did it myself using the retropie menus. Seems I missed some step.

        Going to get the verbose logs shortly.

          No, you did not. The installation is done from the RetroPie setup packages, but currently it's not installing correctly due to a package conflict. I assume you're running a 64 bit (am64) Ubuntu ?

            Yes I am. 18.04.4 LTS, 64bit according to the desktop.

            in RetroPie I am looking at the runcommand under Configuration/Tools, but I dont see an option for verbose logging. Is it hidden somewhere else?

              It's in the launch dialog - press any button/key to enable it before the game starts.

                Used a different ROM this time, again one tested that worked fine on the pi.

                  Did you copy the .bin files from your Pi also ? The game doesn't load because of the missing .bin:

                  ...

                    The bin file is in the folder right next to the cue file. I saw that to and wondered if maybe the issue was thate I had renamed both files to "Spyro - Year of the Dragon" .bin & .cue respectively. I had done the same before trying it on the pi and it had no trouble as long as the bin and cue had the same names.

                    I also tried converting a .bin into an ISO , working under the idea that maybe renaming them was the problem. No improvement, same behavior. I can upload logs from the .iso test if that will help.

                      Linux filesystems are case sensitive - make sure the file is named exactly as declared in the .cue file.
                      If your .cue files references the Spyro - Year of the Dragon (USA) (v1.1).bin file, but you renamed the .bin to Spyro - Year of the Dragon.bin, then of course it will not work.

                        Ok, editing the .cue file helped. This is interesting as the unedited file worked fine on the RPi, but not on the x86. Go figure, learned something new.

                        So now the game launches and gives me an error that the firmware file is missing, scph5501.bin to be precise. However, the file is in the correct folder. So, one step closer, not there yet.

                            @imcade What problems do you have to install it ? Isn't the emulator appearing in the list of installable packages ?
