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. Another emulator that I see people having issues setting up on their Raspberry Pi is PlayStation.
