Retroarch ps1 woes

[DOS76]

yeah even if it didn't work in the end I don't think I've ever seen RA just show a blank directory on a file type it supports.

[neil9000]

Ill ask this again and hope for a answer this time, did you try importing them to launchbox and if so did you click the box for it to move your games? Because if thats the case they wont be where you think they are.

[A_Clever_Monocle]

is it possible im scanning incorrectly

[A_Clever_Monocle]

yes I moved my games (and I scan the games folder in launchbox)

[neil9000]

so are you looking in the correct location for the files, they will now be in Launchbox/Games/Sony Playstation.

[DOS76]

Okay don't scan your game open RA load a core for PS1 after the core is loaded go to load content and navigate to you PS1 directory and see if the games are there

 

[neil9000]

Also the scanner wont work if you dont have the relevant core downloaded first.

[DOS76]

I've never once scanned my games into RA that is more for if you plan on using it as your frontend instead of LB

[A_Clever_Monocle]

I using beetle psx Hw and pcsx rearmed 

i have scanned both the bin and cue 

how do I use them 

[DOS76]

Why do I feel like I'm in a different conversation

trying to get the emulator working first and launchbox second

[DOS76]

yes I'm trying to help you do so and to get it working you don't need to scan your games in you just need to load the core and then load the content if they work you can then add them to LB.

your advice did help and the game will start with psx (vanilla not hw) but all I get is a black screen

[DOS76]

Okay now there is some useful feedback we can build off of. Black screen can sometimes be caused by a bad bios file. If you load the core and go to info and choose one of the options it will show you what files you need and if they are present along with checksums for them. It will tell you what the file needs to be named exactly.

something was wrong with scph- 5501

fixed now the emulator works but how do I get launchbox to use retroarch with other cores for better settings

OMG lmao!

@A_Clever_MonocleHow did you get on with this in the end? I always like to hear how things turn out.

I love that username by the way. If I had that, it would make me sound clever, too.
