I have installed retroarch, but I am unable to load any psx games with the mednafen-psx core. The log shows the following:
RetroArch [WARN] :: system_directory is not set in config. Assuming system directory is same folder as game: “/home/computer/Emulation/cdimages/”. RetroArch: Loading dynamic libretro from: “/home/computer/Retroarch/libretro/libretro-mednafen-psx.so” RetroArch: Version of libretro API: 1 RetroArch: Compiled against API: 1 RetroArch: Environ SYSTEM_DIRECTORY: “/home/computer/Emulation/cdimages/”.

As I am new to this, I acknowledge that I may not have everything set up correctly. I installed it using the complilation guide instructions at https://github.com/Themaister/RetroArch/wiki/Compilation-guide-(Linux). Can anyone enlighten me on any further steps that may be required? I do find it odd that I see nowhere to specify paths to bios files or memory cards in the config file, and have tried placing them in the same directory as the game, but results in the same errors. I am guessing that I might be missing something there.
