      Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 4B in a Picade
      Power Supply used: Standard universal power supply from the Picade
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.8
      Built From: Official Retropie image from the website
      Controller used: Picade joystick plus arcade buttons
      Error messages received: When trying to run an .iso file, it goes dark, nothing happens and it returns to Retropie
      Guide used: the PSP section in Retropie's website

      Hi there, I'm trying to get PSP games to run in Retropie. I have installed the package (I actually installed all the optional packages), I made sure that the es_systems.cfg has the psp config. I can see the PSP menu in Retropie's splash screen. I got a PSP .iso file (two actually) in the /roms/psp/ folder and when trying to run any of the two .iso files, the screen just turns black briefly and then goes back to retropie.

      I must say that the original PSP rom came in a .rar file and it was much much larger than when I extracted the rar files until I got the .iso file. So the .rar file would be 1.2GB and then the .iso was 18MB. Is this normal? It is my first time doing this. I don't think the .rar file would be a valid format for PSP or am I wrong?

      How do people that successfully run psp roms do it?

      Many thanks for your help.
      Best regards. I'm doing this for my daughter. She likes LocoRoco.

        It looks that your rom file is corrupted. Do you have issues with other psp games ? If you can try again from a different source.

        My English isn't at a good level.

          @windg That's a good suggestion. I'll try a different psp game to get it to work. This is my first time with psp roms.
