The fact that the emulators were built with USA BIOS in mind.Īlongside SCPH1001.BIN, lr-pcsx-rearmed also has support for SCPH5501.BIN, SCPH7001.BIN, and even the last USA revision of SCPH101.BIN. That PAL (and NTSC-J) had anti-piracy measures added to the games so that they wouldn't work on a PSX with a mod chip installed, which are typically triggered in older emulators like the ones we have on the Raspberry Pi. That lr-pcsx-rearmed (and pcsx-rearmed) isn't able to emulate PAL well enough in some cases. The reason for their bad luck could either be: However, it should be noted that OP was trying to play PAL format games. To get around this issue the controller included a button on it for the user to switch it between Standard and Analog modes. If you never owned a PSX, then the problem is that early games were made with the Standard controllers (no analog sticks) in mind and weren't programmed to handle the input from Analog (and the later DualShock) controllers. I'm working on one, but it's been on hold because of the eventual RetroArch gamepad update, which messes up my related plans of making Per-Game Remaps and Per-Game Overrides for the "standard mode or analog mode" problem.

Running the latest build of RetroPie, complied on to SD card. I also though it might be because I am using PAL roms so downloaded the 7003 BIOS (for EU PSX) but still the same. I had assumed this was because I hadn't uploaded any BIOS files, I've since done that and matched the check sums and they are correct, and checked the filename is in uppercase.
Final Doom get past the boot sequence then stuck on loading (I suspect that is because I attemped to unpack it on the Pi from Windows, so will unpack that and SSH the file back on to the Pi). Tekken 3 loads fine and plays fine, however whenever you beat the arcade mode and the VO booms "King of Iron Fist, Enter the TEKKEN", the screen stays black and doesn't return to the main menu. Ridge Racer works perfectly (minus the music, but I think that was me cocking up the track naming), Rage Racer also worked but I was expecting that to be Ridge Racer and downloaded the wrong ROM by accident. Been trying to get PSX roms working on my pi with mixed sucsess. I did a search and couldn't find an obvious solution to this.
