Correct location for PSX Rearmed Bios? Always selects HLE

BuZz

@a7mag3ddon I have no idea - I would need more information to advise.

a7mag3ddon

ok how about the command to create the symlink to the file in the bios folder? i could try that without updating anything .

a7mag3ddon

I think this is the command

ln -s /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/SCPH1001.BIN /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed/bios/SCPH1001.BIN

just testing now

a7mag3ddon

Link created but doesnt work

only way to get this going is to copy a bios file to home/pi/bios/

personally i still think its a bug and the wiki should be updated to reflect it, installing a fresh build isnt really the answer to fixing it. Good for people just starting out but not for people who have already spent time making their retropie from scratch.

@a7mag3ddon it wont work unless your launch line changes directory - which is now fixed - there is no bios bug anymore. It won't work if you just create a symlink on a non updated retropie 4.1 etc.

I have removed/reinstall the latest pcsx-rearmed multiple times and it works fine each time. You have provided me with no information - no configs (as I asked for), no system specs, no idea of what you are launching and so on.

a7mag3ddon

ok can you please tell me what that line of launch code is so i can manually add it and test that too

a7mag3ddon

i can share the configs with you from the broken build if you think you can sort it without doing a fresh install, i also have resintalled using a fresh image and yes, it does work. but wiping the card isnt the solution.

@a7mag3ddon I updated my post above.

Without more information this will be my last post on the matter.

The new launch line is pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed; ./pcsx -cdfile %ROM%; popd

i just said TELL ME what you need, i will supply it!

be specific in your request for the files you want.

@a7mag3ddon said in Correct location for PSX Rearmed Bios? Always selects HLE:

i just said TELL ME what you need, i will supply it!

this isn't how you get help - be polite if you want me to continue to help you.

I need all your /opt/retropie/configs folder and the /opt/retropie/emulators/pxsx-rearmed folder as well as your /boot/config.txt

Tell me your system specs.

BTW you should make sure you are not overclocking etc when testing all this.

a7mag3ddon

i entered that line, fails to start emulator now.

I will get you the configs you have asked for, as i keep saying this a vanilla build, no modifications to any configs other than using Pixel theme.

i dont know what to say about system specs, its standard pi from a genuine uk shop, build is from website, pixel theme, xbox 360 wireless pad, sandisk 128gb card (and samsung evo+) no fans or sinks fitted. using hdmi with audio out from 3.5mm jack.

How should i get the link to MEGA containing the files to you when ive done them? post here ?

Thanks

@a7mag3ddon at the top of the page and when you register it says:

Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

it provides a checklist of information to provide when you post - which model of rpi for example and so on.

you can post them here or email me a link - my email is on my profile.

a7mag3ddon

Ok thanks for that, ill just add a text file in the zip with that info in. doing it now.

a7mag3ddon

This post is deleted!

a7mag3ddon

Ok files are ready..

I will disable link when you have them.

@a7mag3ddon What's the output of uname -a on your system ?

a7mag3ddon

Its...

pi@retropie:~ $ uname -a
Linux retropie 4.4.26-v7+ #915 SMP Thu Oct 20 17:08:44 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

I worked it out from your configs - you should sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade on your system as you are not up to date with kernel/firmware.

I'm still unable to reproduce the problem with your binaries and configs on a RPI3 I have here (Testing with Tekken 3 - loads/runs fine).

a7mag3ddon

Ok i will try that right now. weird though.

a7mag3ddon

Is there any reason why that would be? i mean, i downloaded latest version and first thing i did on this build was to an update core system.

I only rebuilt this SD a few days ago because i was originally having issues with my 360xbox controller and that damn xboxdrv driver, every time i updated my old SD from last year i said no to the kernel update. and i figured it was time to get with new kids on the block haha
