Retropie installing games

[probottpric]

hey guys,

I am trying to install psp version of gta vice city and assains creed, the problem is eventhough i though i downloaded rom files i have downloaded iso files. I am not sure how do i install this to the retropi though my pendrive(where all the games are stored). Is it possible to directly just copy the iso file to the psx folder or do i need to convert it to rom file somehow.

Thanks.

psp roms don't go into the psx folder ... they go into the psp folder.

if you have a psp *.iso ... then you do nothing to it, except copy it into the psp folder

theres no psp folder. I read somewhere psp games can be copied in psx, thats why i asked. So should i now create a new folder named psp ?

there should be if you're using the Official Retropie image/download.

anyways, to transfer games to Retropie on the Micro SD Card ... i just use WinSCP

have never used a pendrive, i don't even think you can.

No, if the folder doesn't exist, it means that you didn't install a PSP emulator - use the RetroPie Setup entry in EmulationStation to install the ppsspp emulator and the folder should appear automatically.

Take a look at the PSP emulator page to see what are the supported game extensions and what emulators are available.
