Problem with RetroPie on Raspberry Pie

Luirru

Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 4
Power Supply used: The one it came with
RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 2.11.2RP
Built From: Samba 4.18.2 I think
USB Devices connected: Yes, 1TB
Controller used: SNES and PS1
Error messages received: N/A
Verbose log (if relevant): N/A
Guide used: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/
File: (File with issue - with FULL path)
Emulator: RetroPie, Playstation
Attachment of config files: (PLEASE USE PASTEBIN.COM FOR LARGE LOGS)
How to replicate the problem: I am having trouble with my Raspberry Pi 4. I am trying to get my PlayStation bios on there and I transferred it via USB. I put it into the USB following the folders set-up and included ROMs on there. I can verify the files are transferred to the proper place on the file manager. However, I still do not have the option to even see that emulator. I have already downloaded the emulator via update and confirmed it is fully updated. What can I do?

Did you restart EmulationStation after copying the ROMs ? What are the name of the (ROM/CD image) files that you copied for SNES and Playstation 1 ?

Luirru

@mitu The SNES is not a problem, I was just using it as a controller. Yes, I have reset both ES and the Pie itself multiple times. Here is a copy of the BIOS names in the file and folder, I hope this helps.

mitu

Did you copy any PS1 games, if so - what are the names of the files ? Without any PS1 games copied, the system will not be displayed.

@Luirru said in Problem with RetroPie on Raspberry Pie:

mitu asked for the name of the rom file, not the BIOS. We are looking for something like:

Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (USA).chd

or

Spyro the Dragon (USA).bin
Spyro the Dragon (USA).cue

(You need both the files for BIN/CUE format.)

These should be in the roms/psx folder, so it should look like:

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Tekken 3 (USA).chd

...or

\\retropie > roms > psx > WipeOut XL (USA).bin (and accompanying .cue)

Luirru

@sleve_mcdichael OK, thank you for the clarification. I am using the one I update from the Raspberry Pie library, I believe it is PCSX-ReARMed (I used this guide: https://raspberrytips.com/play-psx-games-on-retropie/ when doing it as well).

Here is the ROM list, they are in the psx folder:

@Luirru they are all still packed ;)
You have to unpack the files to get usable images (.bin/.cue, *.chd, *.pbp, *.img,...)

Luirru

@sirhenrythe5th When I try to unzip I get this message:

Is there a different way to unpack them and I just do not know about it?

mitu

@Luirru What program are you using to unpack them ? What archive format are the files - .zip, .rar ?

windg

It looks that is using the Windows archiver that is very limited. I recommend the free 7zip.

Luirru

Yup, you guys were right. 7zip did the trick. Thank you SO MUCH, I was going crazy trying to figure it out.
