PS1 not seeing any controllers

epicrean

I am having a couple of issues with PSX

Issue 1
When I load a game I get an error saying "no bios expect bugs"
I put a copy of scph1001.bin in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
and restarted the pie after placing the file there, so I know I have a bios.

Issue 2
The only game I have installed is Castlevania - Symphony of the Night.
There is a .cue file and .bin file in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx
when I go under PSX in EmulationStation it shows two copies of Castlevania - Symphony of the Night. I am assuming my Pie is showing both the .cue and .bin in the frontend. When I looked at the wiki (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Playstation-1) it explains that the bin file should not be showing. So why is the bin file showing in mine?

Issue 3
When I do load a game I can't exit it with the Start + Select combo. I also noticed I can't get into any retroarch menus with the Select + X combo.

Pi Model: 3
RetroPie Version Used: 3.81
Built From: SD Image
USB Devices connected: USB Keyboard / USB IBuffalo Controller
Controller used: IBuffalo Controller
Error messages received: no bios expect bugs

Emulator: Castlevania - Symphony of the Night

Ok so try making your bios all caps. Ie: SCPH1001.BIN Second if you look in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and look under psx does it show to look for both .cue .CUE, and .bin .BIN? If so remove the .bin and .BIN and it will only show one of them. Also you should change the title to something more descriptive than just psx so when the next guy needs help he can find it

Edit: start with what the man below me said.

@epicrean update your setup script, reinstall the binary.

Thanks you for the help, sadly it didn't work, I did try both of your suggestions. the game still loads and gives the no bios error and none of the buttons on the controller work. Any other suggestions?

epicrean

UPDATE

I figured the BIOS out, I just downloaded a new one. But I still can't get any of the buttons to work. When the emulator starts it sees the control but nothing works. I feel like I am making baby steps, but have no clue on the controller. FYI the controls work for all other systems.

UPDATE 2

I managed to get the game to recognize the keyboard, but it won't let me remap to a standard controller. It is almost as if I have no controller setup. I have removed the package entirely and reinstalled it to no avail. Someone has to have a solution to this

epicrean

Anyone??

I have the same problem. BIOS not found and controller not working. :/

CascaCure

Count me in, same issues as you guys. On latest retropie version, 4.0. No Bios detected, no controllers detected. Both bios and controllers previously were detected / fine on 3.8.1 / 4.0RC1. Problems seem to be isolated to this new 4.0 official release. Fingers crossed for progress.

I am having the same issue as well, after updating to 4.0

@BuZz We need your help. :)

This seem to be a problem in Retropie 4.0 since the exact same config works in 3.8.2. The BIOS is not detected and the controllers are ignored in lr-pcsx-rearmed.

Please don't tag me unless you are replying to me.

I was using that emulator earlier on an updated system and it was fine. I will need more information to debug any problem.

DLC

Did you update all installed packages as indicated.

epicrean

@DLC yes I have updates a couple of times

Count me in with that bug, I was playing PSX with 4.0 fine, until I exited a game with Start+Select, now it doesn't work for any game, it's weird!

Also adding my comment I left in a separate thread I just deleted to merge my comment with this thread :

Hi

My actual setting is a RPi2 with 4.0.1 (updated from 3.X to 4.0 RC1 to 4.0.1), with 2 DS3 wired controlers.

I mostly play PSX games with lr-pcsx-rearmed, and everything works perfectly, with my last setting in 3.X and now with 4.0.1. I love my Pi a lot! (Yeah, I have the right BIOS since day one)

Today, I was playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, and I saved my game and exited the emulator to jump to THPS 3 (with start+select as always). I started THPS 3 and I got the message "No BIOS found ,expect bugs" and "Controller SONY PLAYSTATION 3 ... not configured". This is not my usual messages, normally I get "SONY PLAYSTATION 3 Controller configured #0" or something like that.

I tried to restart my Pi, tried again THPS2, retried THPS3 (this wasn't the first time I played THPS3 by the way), always the same message. I tried other emulators for other consoles and everything still works.

I tried updating the script and updating all emulators without success. I tried uninstalling lr-pcsx-rearmed then reinstall it (from binary and I also tried from source) without more success. So for now, all my emulators works well, but not lr-pcsx-rearmed.

Someone have any advice to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot for the great community!

@dankcushions
