Retropie/roms/psx/abesoddworldoddysey.cue.

and your game's bin file?

Your BIOS is in the right place, but you're missing the CD image.

The cue sheet is a description of a CD image.

Here's the Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey (U) 1.0 cue sheet: http://redump.org/disc/1858/cue/

Let's look at the contents:

$ cat "Oddworld - Abe's Oddysee (USA) (v1.0).cue"

FILE "Oddworld - Abe's Oddysee (USA) (v1.0).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

So to use this .cue file, we need a file called Oddworld - Abe's Oddysee (USA) (v1.0).bin and that .bin file contains the contents of the CD.

Does that make sense?

It may be easier to get PSX2PSP EBOOTs of the games you want to play. These are a single file with a .pbp extension. They work in the lr-pcsx-rearmed emulator.

Aah yes i understand the info i used to create the .cue file never mentioned anything about .BIN files aswell i will redownload later and put it on...how do i create or get a .pbp file if its simpler?

@boris85

You can use an original image file and the program PSX2PSP, it's easy to find, but you need a working PSX CD image to start with.

Or just search Google for "PSX on PSP eBoot ISOs" and you'll find many out there.

You'll find most of them contain a directory and a file called EBOOT.PBP but that's just for use on a PSP, you can rename the file to whatever you want, such as Oddworld - Abe's Oddysee.pbp

boris85

Oh right i see so i would then get the eboot.php file and place straight in the retropie/rom/psx folder anf this should then work?

suprjami

@boris85 Yes, that's right. You can also rename the EBOOT file, so you'd have like:

RetroPie/roms/psx/Oddworld - Abe's Oddysee.pbp

boris85

Thanks ill give it a try later and get back to you how it goes

@boris85 to rename the eboots i use a program i believe was called bulk rename. It can take all the folder names and rename all the files inside the folders the same name so you can rename all the eboots in a matter of minutes. Just make sure you unzip them all and place the different games folders in one common folder.
