Playstation Retroarch error

[star_wyvern]

Hello all,

I am pretty new to Launchbox and have imported a PS1 game into it. I have followed the tutorial video and have a it made as follows:

//roms/PSX/Game Folder/Game Folder.bin and also .cue labelled exactly the same.

When I go to launch the game I get the error attached.

Has anyone had this? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Did you name your platform PSX? By default in the associated platform tab for RetroArch it will automatically setup a line that says Sony Playstation  -L "cores\mednafen_psx_libretro.dll" if you did name your platform PSX you will have to change the 1st part of that line so it matches your platform name so example: PSX -L "cores\mednafen_psx_libretro.dll". If that isn't the issue will need some more info.

I should have asked 1st but can you get the games to run just using RetroArch without LB? Do you have the proper BIOS files if it doesn't work through RA I'm guessing you need the BIOS files or you have bad rips

The platform is named correctly. I believe it is the bios, based on what you said. Where do I place the bios in the retroarch folder structure? There isn't a bios folder. Thanks!

All BIOS files go in the System folder

[star_wyvern]

I've placed the BIOS in the Retroarch system folder. When I go back into Launchbox I get the same error when loading the game. When I try and load the .CUE file just in Retroarch, it goes to a black screen although it seems to load the controller. I have to push ESC in order to exit.

Okay it sounds like you don't have the right BIOS files here are the ones I have I'm not sure which ones you actually need

1. scph1000.bin
2. scph1001.bin
3. scph5500.bin
4. scph5501
5. schp5502

what is the error message you are getting it mentions in the 1st post its attached but I don't see it

[star_wyvern]

Should be there now. Apologies!

[DOS76]

Yeah I think it is your BIOS files

Also, I don't think you need the first 2, the 1000 series, only the 5000 series. However, one of the 5000 series is just a renamed 1000 series (forget which specifically).

I wonder why people do not seem to suggest the 100 series of PSOne bios. Although I doubt the differences are that great, it still makes me wonder why. I know though the bios of the 1000 series seem to give problems rarely with games.

[SentaiBrad]

It's not that we're suggesting one over the other, it's just what RetroArch requires, and the developers chose those for a reason. My guess, is that they're more mature or more exploitable? Which is two very different sides. One of the 5000 series BIOS is actually just a renamed 1000 series as well.

[weltall]

I am not really talking about you guys and this forum, but any place. I started using the 100 series ever since I found it, but never seen it suggested. Others suggest the 1000, others the 5000 and for ePSXe its the 7502. I guess though I can understand now that you mentioned "exploitable". Never thought that newer bios might contain protections that restrict. Thanks Brad and sorry for dragging this kind of offtopic.

Thanks for all the responses! I have the correct bios files and I think it has to do with the .cfg file for Retroarch and the PSX. I will look into it!
