      @folly I've found a new np2kai.cfg now, out of a BIOS pack. It doesn't seem to make any difference.

      You don't need that file.

      It's automatically generated by the emulator.

      edit:
      I removed mine in the good bios set.
      popfull mail works OK.
      After exit, new np2kai.cfg file is created in np2kai.

        @folly Why is the emulator not generating the file then?

          I'm still using the binary version of the emulator.
          Perhaps the source one has issues.

            Check your log again.

            Did you refresh the winSCP ?

              @folly I did. Nothing is happening. I deleted my BIOS prior to removing the core and reinstalling it from binary, and still nothing.
              But the weirdest thing is my customized settings in the RetroArch menu are still there.

              And naturally Popful Mail is still blank.

                Strange.

                Retroarch has different configs, I think that's the reason that you setting are still the same.

                  @folly Are you certain you don't have a font.tmp or font.bmp in your BIOS folder somewhere? @AdamBeGood mentioned earlier that the japanese text did not display without it on his end.

                  I am 99% certain we have the same bios set (you said 14 directories, which matches what I have).

                  I'll get a log with BIOS in np2kai.

                  Edit : This log says it can't find my BIOS even though my BIOS are definitely in there. Pretty sure that's the issue now.

                    100% certain.
                    Perhaps font.bmp is generated by the emulator.
                    edit :
                    While running checked my files.
                    No font.bmp in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/np2kai/

                    Have checked my log again.
                    These files are loaded (no "couldn't find" in the line beneath):

                    Open file (RO) /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/np2kai/font.rom.
                    .
                    .
                    .
                    Open file (RO) /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/np2kai/sound.rom.
                    Open file (RO) /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/np2kai/bios.rom.
                    Open file (RO) /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/np2kai/pci.rom.

                      @folly Yep, then that must be the issue.
                      But I have no idea what could be causing it ^^

                        How is your log with these 4 files in place ?
                        Do you have "couldn't finds" afterwards ?

                          The last log I posted has all the BIOS I've got.

                            That has "couldn't finds".
                            You were posting a log without bios roms, if I'm right.
                            Or did I miss something ?

                            edit:
                            Oh, I did miss it.
                            Both have "couldn't finds" indeed.

                              @folly That's my point. It says couldn't find even though the BIOS are definitely in there.

                                Well, now we know that's the problem then.

                                  Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm at a complete loss. This is definitely beyond my skill ^^

                                    my files are :
                                    -rw-r--r-- (644)

                                    the bmp is searched in (don't have that user ir directory):
                                    /home/arcadia/RetroPie/BIOS/np2kai/font.bmp
                                    Defenitly not used.

                                    Here is your problem :
                                    searches in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/np2kai/np2kai/
                                    That's why the roms aren't found.

                                      @folly I don't understand. Why is the emulator looking for the BIOS files in a directory that does not exist???
                                      How do I force it to look in the right directory?

                                        We have to look into that later.

                                        Try creating that directory and move the files over there and see what happens.

                                          @folly Tried that just now. It's giving me the exact same log! It can't find the files that are in np2kai/np2kai even though they are most definitely there.

                                            Is it because you are pointing it at /np2kai rather than the BIOS directory? And it knows to look for a np2kai directory where it is pointed?
