      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 ?

        @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.

          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)

              @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,...)

                  @sirhenrythe5th When I try to unzip I get this message:
                  8ceec62b-c269-4235-8d97-b0cbba2e86a6-image.png
                  Is there a different way to unpack them and I just do not know about it?

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

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

                      My English isn't at a good level.

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