PSX Titles will not load 3.7 Pi3B

we will get you there! :)
so you extracted the .rar files and got what? an .iso file? any other files?
how are you transferring your files across to your pi? we can get at the log a few different ways.
-
My hero!
I opened the rar file in poweriso and made an iso image of it direct.
then put it on a usb drive in the made folder and plugged it in, waited a while and then it showed up in ES and went to play it
-
@danny_boy85 ok, so i'm not sure if power iso is doing what we want it to be doing. are you using windows? if so, grab this http://www.7-zip.org/ and use it to extract that .rar file. it should end up with one or more files, (probably a .cue and a .bin), which we then want to transfer to the pi in the same way.
-
Yeah i extracted the game originally with win rar and placed all the files on the pi, there were about 10 bin files and a cue file. none of them worked either :(
each file had track 01 etc to 10 on it.
yes im using windows also matey
really appreciate your help, missus has just landed in London so need to pick her up, we shall continue this!
Again, you're my hero haha.
-
@danny_boy85 no worries my man! :) ok, for when you get back:
all those files are normal - you got a bit 'unlucky' as sometimes there's only one or two files, but i guess whatever game it is has a lot of CD audio tracks (each one is one .bin file).
what you should do is delete what you've got on your pi right now by pressing the SELECT button on each entry in the PSX menu in emulationstation, and then go down to 'EDIT THIS GAME'S METADATA' and then go to the bottom 'DELETE' option. this is whole step is optional but i reckon it'll get confusing with all the stuff currently on your pi that doesn't work!
once it's all gone, transfer all those BIN files and the CUE file, as before, and then when that's done, start the .cue file on your pi. that SHOULD work.
ALTERNATIVELY: delete the stuff as before and then download a PSP 'eboot' version of the game. when you extract that file, you should find an EBOOT.PBP file, which you can rename to gamename.PBP, and then transfer that to the pi. this is all the stuff you need in one file, which makes things tidier!

I just had this issue, renaming the bios to all lowercase (schp1001.bin) helped.
-
Cheers for you help people! managed to change the bios file to lower case, seems the extension was in capitals so maybe the pie couldn't find it? no idea!?
But tested the game as a bin with the cue file and it worked also, now trying it as an ISO as Crash Bandicoot worked so this is the test. Also keeps things cleaner in the menu.
Thanks again!
Now to sort out a fan so i can play goldeneye properly!
-
@danny_boy85 it's annoying that the BIOS is case sensitive! I will try and fix that...
-
@dankcushions yeah i dont see why,but i am rather useless as explained before haha.
Well we have also worked out that wherever i got my files from, they dont like working at all! Since changing where the games come from, not an issue. Although PowerISO also makes them not work so thats been binned off!
Thanks again for your help :)

Glad it worked out for you. This is something that should be noted on a more prominent install page some where until it's fixed.
