PSX doesn't save and no audio in TV

tubiroman

Hey !

I just bought a new raspberry pi 3 and I completely installed retropie in it with a pre-made img.

I did many researches from the internet, from this forum and I tried all the tips I found but, nothing happens.

Here are my issues.

First thing, I have some psx roms but it doesn't want to save. I tried to edit the retroarch.cfg with that:

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/"

savefile_directory = "home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx"

savestate_directory = "home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

I'm not a programmer and I know nothing about it but I found that tip in this forum, and nothing happens.

If you can help me, step by step, to know exactly what to do, it would be appreciated !

Second thing, I have a Sharp tv with hdmi available. Video, no problem but, there's no audio. I tried to set the system volume to 100% and then tried to volume up my tv but no success. It happens with all the consoles installed. I tried to access the terminal, access the boot/config.txt then edit but I don't really understand what they mean by "Uncomment the line" but... I look the other lines and I just change like it was mentionned in the post with: hdmi_mode=16 but... still no audio..

A friend of me installed all my retropie software and it worked well with his TV but... not with mine...

Thank you for helping me, i did all my researches, I just don't know what else to do now..

@tubiroman you missed some needed slashes. Here is how you need it to look:

savefile_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/"
savestate_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/"

Also you dont need to put a savefile directory. It already saves in the roms folder. Not sure but savestate might already save there too. But you putting these incorrect settings nulled the default locations out.

And for the sound, open up /boot/config.txt and find the line:

#hdmi_drive=2

And remove the hashtag so it looks like this:

hdmi_drive=2

Ok I added the / that were missing directly on the rpi itself in the retroarch.cfg file but the psx still doesnt save

@tubiroman what does it do when you try to savestate? Are you doing it with combo buttons or in the rgui?

@edmaul69 i save directly ingame. I dont know how to manually save

@tubiroman when you fixed the slashes you added all four missing / slashes correct? are you getting an error? i would remove the savefile directory you added. it will automatically put it in the roms folder. then when you start up the game it should see your game save. although i need to test in a week when i get 3000 miles away from here where all my stuff is being mailed to. i think i might have had an issue when i was trying to save resident evil 2. i havent played the playstation much so i cant completely remember.
