PSX

@streetsweep Have you read this? https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/playstation-1 What you are doing will never work. It's best to read the instructions and follow the guide.

@liquidzoo I have both the spch1001.bin and the spch1001.cue in the BIOS

liquidzoo

@streetsweep The BIOS file is a .BIN only, and the case of the file matters a lot in Linux. It MUST be SPCH1001.BIN (all caps).

If it's still not working, you may have a bad BIOS file and you should find another one.

AlexMurphy

@streetsweep Follow the guide posted EXACTLY. LInux is case sensitive.

So here's what I did I downloaded the PSX file from i didn't read the forum rules and now I shall be publicly shamed which gave me the SPCH1001.BIN I transferred it to BIOS over network to my retro pie that didn't work then I converted the .BIN to a .Cue and transferred that the same way without deleting the .BIN still didn't work

streetsweep

@AlexMurphy I have read that and tried to follow it still nothing

AlexMurphy

@streetsweep Why are you converting anything to anything? Follow the official guide instead of making up your own.

AlexMurphy

@streetsweep Well, I'm sorry I can't tell you anything else other than to follow the official guide exactly as it is written. Anyway, good luck.

streetsweep

Does the .BIN go into a specific file in BIOS or just by its self

AlexMurphy

@streetsweep Just in the bios file. As the guide says.

streetsweep

I just need that guide simplified for me. I'm trying to get this done for my son's birthday in March and really need help

streetsweep

@AlexMurphy which file do I down load at the start of that guide all of them?

AlexMurphy

@streetsweep Which files are you referring to? The bios? You need SCPH1001.BIN. I thought you had this.

streetsweep

@AlexMurphy I do but at the start of the guide you gave me there are 3 there to download. I reformatted and starting from scratch

streetsweep

@AlexMurphy the ir-pcsx-rearmed the pcsx-rearmed or the bettle one

liquidzoo

@streetsweep 2 of the 3 entries (4 total files) are the same...assuming you're using one of those 2 (recommended) emulators, you have the file you need.

AlexMurphy

@streetsweep The recommended emulator for PSX is lr-pcsx-rearmed so use SCPH1001.BIN. This might come as a lower case file name, if so, re-name it and place it in the BIOS folder.

streetsweep

@AlexMurphy so as long as I get the ir-pcsx-rearmed file the SPCH1001.BIN should be in there right

liquidzoo

@streetsweep lr-pcsx-rearmed is one of the emulators, not a file you need to get.

streetsweep

@liquidzoo my retropie doesn't have the ir-pcsx-rearmed emulator
