      @liquidzoo It is. You don't need to do anything with the cores / emulators. He just needs the correct bios, correctly named in the bios folder then add ROMs to the PSX ROMS folder.

                @streetsweep Then the ROMs aren't in the right format (or possibly the right place). Look at the guide again.

                  @liquidzoo I did what the guide said on getting the Roms downloaded them straight from [redacted - Read the rules] the moved them to the PSX ROM folder

                    The rules here states not to say where you downloading ROMs from!

                    You need to unzip and/or unrar the downloads first so you have a <game name>.bin and a <game name>.cue. Then put both of those files in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/ on your RPi.

                    you might not have one of the PSX emulators install because the default image of RetroPie doesn't come with it pre-installed (I don't think).

                    Fast forward that video I posted above to like 15:28 and watch it until the end!

                        @streetsweep ok now you need to extract it from the .ecm. You can google how to extract .ecm file.

                          @streetsweep honestly though just google for psx .pbp files. Much easier to use a .pbp then bin and cues.

                            @edmaul69 .pbp files will definitely be the easiest way to get this working.

                                    @streetsweep if you find .pbp files they will probably be in a zip or .rar. You just have to unzip the .rar to get the .pbp file out

                                      I guess I just need an easier step by step way to do it because I'm not very tech savvy I know some but I guess this is past my limit
