PSX Issues...

@edmaul69 yeah, it was working before. Correct BIOS and roms.

edmaul69

@celly i also have it in /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed. I would try putting it there. Maybe there used to be a link to the bios in there before and it may be why i put the bios in there

celly

@edmaul69 good thinking. I'll give that a shot when I get home today. Thanks!

No dice. I put a copy of the SCPH1001.BIN bios into the path you suggested and also in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/. Transfered Mr. Driller.pbp to the roms directory, rebooted, launched the rom, black screen, back to ES. Im about to give up on this.

UPDATE: i installed pcsx-rearmed and changed the default emulator in run command and it works. The controls are wonky AF but, hey I got a game to load again. Just can't figure out why the lr version won't work.

@celly can you post the contents of /opt/retropie/configs/psx/emulators.cfg and retroarch.cfg as well. I wanna make sure it isnt a configuration issue.

celly

@edmaul69 sure, here ya go.

lr-pcsx-rearmed = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
default = "pcsx-rearmed"
pcsx-rearmed = "pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed; ./pcsx -cdfile %ROM%; popd"

edmaul69

@celly can you post your psx retroarch.cfg?

edmaul69

@celly also in the psx config folder there might be a be a retroarchcore.cfg

@edmaul69 sure, here ya go.

default = "pcsx-rearmed"

looks like you're using the non libretro version. change default to lr-pcsx via the runcommand.

celly

@dankcushions whoops, forgot to change it back to lr-pcsx-rearmed when I posted, sorry. Here is the the correct contents or the emulators.cfg

lr-pcsx-rearmed = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
default = "lr-pcsx-rearmed"
pcsx-rearmed = "pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed; ./pcsx -cdfile %ROM%; popd"

celly

@edmaul69 here is the contents of the retroarch.cfg

# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/psx/"

# video_smooth = ""
# aspect_ratio_index = ""
#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

BuZz

@celly please put config files in a code block - http://commonmark.org/help/

I uninstalled any psx emulator I had and deleted all roms and BIOS. Tried again with lr-pcsx-rearmed, moved a rom over and BIOS file and still nothing. Anyone else have any ideas?

"nothing"? it loads and then quits or? can we have full file path and file name of game and bios please?

Sorry i didn't reply back, was out of town for work. Yeah so from ES, I can launch a rom and it goes black screen, then back to ES. Like I said before, this was all working as intended, correct BIOS, roms in .pbp format.

BIOS - located in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
(SCPH1001.BIN exactly)
ROMS - located in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx
(I've used .pbp format but since this hasn't been working I've gone and tried a few .bin and .cue)

Since I'm home and I have some time I'll install and config just pcsx-rearmed. I thik the problem lies in the lr core.
