lr-pcsx-rearmed missing in optional packages.. what now?

TresManoss

As stated in title, i cannot find lr-pcsx-rearmed in optional packages and I would really like my kids to play PS games....

Where can I find it and what can I do?

I am on an pi4, latest retropie version downloaded, installed pre made image.

mitu

The package is still there, it's in the main section, not optional.

TresManoss

@mitu Serious? Will check it tonight. Thx in advance.

mitu

Yes. Plus, lr-pcsx-rearmed is installed by default on a RetroPie image, so there's no need to install it explicitely.

TresManoss

@mitu ok, but i dont see the folder...

mitu

@TresManoss Which folder are you referring to ? The roms/psx folder ?

TresManoss

@mitu Yes

mitu

@TresManoss Post a screenshot of your roms folder, as you see it (file shares ?). Did you use the image from retropie.org.uk/download to install ?

TresManoss

@mitu yes, i downloaded image from this site.

mitu

OK, if the folder doesn't show up, then install the lr-pcsx-rearmed emulator and it will show up.

TresManoss

@mitu Thx for taking time. It worked!

TresManoss

@mitu Funny thing is that, i can see the folder now and drag games into it.
THen i restart the emulationstation and even did a system reboot, there is no playstation to be found in emulators/games listing...

@TresManoss

better check your es_systems.cfg file .. cus if it isn't there, it won't show up in the emulationstation games list.

here ... /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

and here ... /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

there should be an entry

<system>
<name>psx</name>
<fullname>PlayStation</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx</path>
<extension>.cue .cbn .chd .img .iso .m3u .mdf .pbp .toc .z .znx .CUE .CBN .CHD .IMG .ISO .M3U .MDF .PBP .TOC .Z .ZNX</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS psx %ROM%</command>
<platform>psx</platform>
<theme>psx</theme>
</system>

in one or both of those cfg files.

i'm using WinSCP

TresManoss

@ReadyPlayaWon oh lol me too.
But i cant find etc/

mitu

@TresManoss What extension have the files that you copied ? They'll need to match the list of extensions understood by the psx system - cue .cbn .chd .img .iso .m3u .mdf .pbp .toc .

TresManoss

@mitu I see what might cause the problem now. Games are rarred. I need to unpack them, there are cue and bin files in there... :)

and then, personally .. i use CDmage to convert all those *bin files in a single *.bin

Then i have only a *.cue and a *.bin file ... and then compress them to a single *.chd file. (using CHDman)

saves a ton space ... and the game is one single file, and smaller (sometimes a lot, by 50% smaller or more)

P.S. etc/ folder is here (screenshot from WinSCP)
