      Hey All,
      So I have found some information on the issue I am having but being a novice it is a little difficult to understand. Basically my playstation emulator is not working. First the roms were not showing but i found the info here and got that sorted out. Now my roms are showing but when i try open one (any of them) the screen goes black and takes me right back to the emulation station. It sounds like I have to follow the instructions below that are from the same link I previously provided, but i am not sure how to download and move this file (please keep the laughter to a minimum, like I said... Novice). Am I on the right track or completely off? Any info is appreciated.

      Build from Image on Website
      No error is received, just returns to Emulation Station

      The BIOS file is named SCPH1001.BIN (both name and extension are case-sensitive so MUST be in capitals)

      Place SCPH1001.BIN in

      /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS

        @Sunburner did you install the lr-pcsx-rearmed emulator from retropie setup in the retropie menu?

                I think i have this figured out. It was a zip file extraction issue. I extracted the files again and it is working. Thanks for the assistance.
