        @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.

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

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

                  @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.

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

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

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

                                  @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.

                                    @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.

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

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

                                            @streetsweep No. Have you put the bios in the bios folder?
