Once the RaspberryPi is rebooted the GBA bios file has to be moved to the correct directory which is: /opt/retropie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi home/pi/RetroPie/BIOSįor information about loading roms or the BIOS file check this post. From a previous post I put “ gba_bios.bin” in the following directory. GameBoy Advance also needs a bios file in order for the games to work. ~ $ sudo rebootįor the GameBoy Advance tab to load in EmulationStation, make sure you have at least one game rom loaded in the GBA directory located at /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gba Once that was done I rebooted the system. Hang on! Sometimes this take a while but it is necessary to get things to work and keep everything up to date.
#For some reason my psx roms wont show up on retropi update
Next, I selected Option 5: UPDATE RetroPie Binaries. To do that type the following in the terminal: ~ $ cd RetroPie-Setup ~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo. The first thing you’d want to do is perform a RetroPie Binary Update. If you didn’t see my post about setting up RetroPie then click here to check that out!įrom that post I say that often times when RetroPie is installed it doesn’t seem to load everything it needs for the GPSP emulator. These are the following steps that I did to get it to work for me. Often times people seem to have issues getting the GameBoy Adavnce emulator GPSP to work on RetroPie.

I found that the games tend to lag a little and the sound is often times a little choppy. MDFĪfter rebooting you will find that your PlayStation games will work with out any errors! MDF to it so it looked like the following. To do this I did: /opt/retropie/configs/psx $ cd ~/.emulationstation $ sudo nano es_systems.cfg Next, since some of my roms didn’t show up in EmulatioStation I found I had to add some extensions to the es_systems.cfg file. ~ $ cd /opt/retropie/configs/psx $ nano retroarch.cfgĪdd the following line to the bottom of this file: system_directory= /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS From my experience if you try to exit the game the RaspberryPi will hang up and you will have to reboot it to get everything to work again.įor some reason the PlayStation emulator doesn’t see the BIOS directory so we have to edit the retroarch.cfg file specifically for the PlayStation. If you try loading a PlayStation game you may see an error “ No BIOS found, expect errors“, the BIOS file is needed to be able to save and run the game correctly. More information about the BIOS files can be found here. The BIOS file that I use is SCPH1001.bin but there are other’s that seem to work also. Check out my post here about transferring roms and BIOS files. The PlayStation emulator works right after instillation of RetroPie So all you have to do is load a rom into the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psxĭirectory and load the BIOS file into the /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOSĭirectory. For the most part it is very straight forward but there is one step that is often left out on other instructions that I’ve seen. Thank you.Another emulator that I see people having issues setting up on their Raspberry Pi is PlayStation. Could there be another factor affecting this? I find it strange that one time my NES roms work and not the Sega roms and then next time all my sega roms are detected but NES is non existent. Is this because my SD card does not have enough room? I expanded its capacity and I do not have that many roms that should fill the drive. Each time it seems to not show a different set of emulators and roms. I have tried this a few times by reformatting the SD card back to the original image and restarting the process over again. Emulation Station showed most, but not all of my emulators and roms. Then I placed the drive back in the pi and booted it up. I shut down the pi, removed the drive added the roms to the corresponding folders. retropie, like it should, created all the necessary folders within the thumb drive for my roms to be placed in. Then I plugged in the thumb drive I wanted to use for holding my roms. I then did some research about expanding the drive before adding in my roms. Loaded it up onto my raspberry and things started up fine. I recently downloaded the retropi image onto my 16gb sd card. I am very new to working with raspberry pi and retropie.
