Psx emulator controls not working

@dankcushions No I haven't seen that until now. If it's required, I'm surprised it's not in the initial setup page, that's what I followed. So I see it tells me which ones are supported for what emulator but it doesn't say where to get them, how to install them or select one. Is there another page about that?

if everything was included in the first installation page it would be a very long page. if you want specific information about a specific system, there's dedicated pages for that. i think that's a sensible compromise.

So I see it tells me which ones are supported for what emulator but it doesn't say where to get them

linking or instructing how to get copyright files would not be a good idea for this project. please see rule 1

, how to install them

it says where to play them in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#bios - you transfer in the same way as game files - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/

or select one.

the emulator will select the right one automatically. if you do not have an appropriate one in the appropriate place, you'll see the error you saw previously.

@dankcushions I can understand that. Maybe a link to the bios section after mentioning it briefly in the first installation section would be helpful I think, kind of like it does with the roms. I didn't realize the bios were proprietary as well, so mentioning that somewhere would help first timers like me understand that better too I think. Thanks for the info, I saw the location section but thought maybe it was something that has to be installed as a program (thinking computer bios) vs. a file drop. I'll see if I can find it and get it going.

I also have an additional question related to my new install. I have one of those nespi+ cases with the fan on it. I was reading their scripts don't work right anymore with the new version of RetroPie. Is that true? I saw someone made a work around with some generic code, but I don't understand it fully.

Update on this, I copied over the bios for each of the emulators that were on my machine previously. Once I did that it broke my PSX emulator again. What I found was that there were a few bios on there that were not supported by the version of the rearmed emulator it currently uses. So I think it picked a bad bios which broke functionality. Once I pulled those unsupported bios from the folder, it functions normally once again. This must've been what happened when I updated my system previously. I also see commodore 64 is broken currently too, probably the same thing there I'll need to dig into. I did manage to get the nespi-case script installed also, I will monitor it to see if that portion has issues.
