Addition:

I reconfigured gamePad from Xbox - and I have discovered that some games are not working. Not just all of them, but a few of them. Not sure why? For example, Gran Turismo 2 (PS1). I can launch the game but then I am not able to action it anyhow.

Hi,

My RecalBox version is 7.2.2-Reloaded
I have my ps4 gamepad connected via usb to Raspberry Pi 3b+
I can navigate through menu and launch any game but when in-game I can't do anything.
All I can do is call the retroarch menu and go back to the main menu of recalbox.

Any sugestions?
Best regards
Kuba

Hi @Zing
Thanks for reply.

So I am using raspberryPi 3+
My recalbox version is : 7.1.1-Reloaded.
I downloaded it from recalbox page, if I remember correctly, and I have flashed my sd card.
When I check Bios Checking Function for PSX it says that all is OKAY - green status.

I will verify and take your sugestions into consideration.
Will ping you with status

Thanks!

Hi,

If this topic was already posted, please don't hang me...
I am using recalbox mostly for PSX games. It is running smoothly on RaspberryPi 3+. What I miss is a theme music whenever I choose a new ISO.
You know which one... the one with white screen ans PS logo on it.
I red that it's possible to get it, when I restart content in retroArch, but even that I did what it was said I am not getting it... please help. How to get the playstation music theme when I launch PSX ISO?

@paradadf said in BIOS for PSX:

@jakubm82 I recommend you to just open the main menu and entrr the bios checking. There you'll get all the info you need. The name and the checksum must match.

Thank you! Now all is sorted out thanks @paradadf

Hi, so I have been playing some games recently, for example gran turismo 2. I finished some driving licence challenges and saved the game. Today I wanted to continue but my saves are gone.

Why?

I have all BIOS files in place, bios checking function in main menu confirmed md5. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I have been looking for a tutorial about BIOS files, where to put them and what BIOS is needed to run PSX1 games.
I know that most of the games work without BIOS file anyway it's recommended to have one - for compatibility functions and so on.

I have been able to find this thread: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/17732/where-do-i-put-the-psx-bios-file/4?_=1610057214896
and I followed the instructions from the video tutorial.

I placed SCPH1001.BIN file in /root/BIOS/ folder but it is not detecting it... can you tell why? Any game I ran I am getting message that BIOS file can't be found...

Best regards

Thanks! Solved!

I see. I want to record PSX gameplays.
I am able to initiate recording and stop it on demand using the hotkey + R3, like you said. But, where are videos stored?

@Pitch64 said in Recording the gameplay:

You can record a game play for any libretro core with Hotkey + R3. Same for stopping it.

What do you mean "libretro core" - sorry, I am kind of a noob.
I know that retroArch on linux requires libretro libraries to work.
Saying that, do you mean all games with are ran on retroArch?
