HI Guys,
Im hoping someone can give me a bit of guidance please! been playing around with Lakka for a few days now and ive run into some trouble with the psx emulator
when i try and load a rom it displays a black screen followed by the Lakka welcome screen
how can i fix this?
Thank you!!
Please check this documentation (first check that your bioses are placed in system folderand names are case sensitive then check that your CUE file points to the correct BIN file).
Thanks for this! just to be clear i need to rename the bios file to: 490f666e1afb15b7362b406ed1cea246? depending on bios
No, they need the case-sensitive name that’s mentioned in the info file. That’s the checksum to make sure you have the correct file.
Thanks for this, ive placed the correct bios into the system folder it has the correct name and ive used the correct .cue file with the rom and still i get a black screen
can i check anything else??
Could be something wrong with your cue sheets. Many of them were made on Windows’, which is case-insensitive, so they break on Linux. You should be able to open it in a text editor and check whether everything points where it should.
However, you’re probably best off getting a log at this point, so we can see what’s actually happening.

how can i produce a log please?? ill look into the cue issue - sorry for silly question, im new to linux
also the MD5 for the bios is in uppercase, is that an issue?
any advice pls guys?
To get a log, open a terminal and run type: retroarch --menu --verbose and then do whatever you need to do to reproduce the crash. It will print any errors to the console window.
Your BIOS files need to be lower-case. They need to exactly match what the core is looking for.

@hunterk in order to access my file system im ssh’ing into the linux box, how can i create a log file on windows? (my setup is on a different machine)
Please see my log file after Mednafen crashes

There is no fatal error. Can you paste the content of your cue file ? And the name of your bin file.
my .cue file:
FILE “Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (USA).bin” BINARY TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00
Bin: Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (USA).bin
Just for test try with this name :
MarvelSuperHeroesVsStreetFighter.bin
please see the dump after i did this

hum you got a segfault now ? You launched it with Main Tab > Load Content > Select File And Detect Core > Game.cue then you select Playstation (Mednafen PSX) ?
What is your graphic card ? Can give you the output of
lspci -nn | grep VGA
Also if you do Main Tab > Load Core > Playstation (Mednafen PSX) then Main Tab > Information > Core Information , do you see all the required bios under Firmware entry ?
Thank you.
I did launch it Main Tab > Load Content > Select File And Detect Core > Game.cue then you select Playstation (Mednafen PSX) - the log was listed above, i also tried just launching it from the playlist and lakka crashed
It shows that i have the US BIOS and the EU BIOS (im not running JP games so dont need the other one)
here is the output:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0412] (rev 06)
On the same machine i have been able to run ePSXe in windows with no problem
thanks for the help!
You graphic card should be supported by i915 driver.
The other cores work ? Or only Mednafen PSX has an issue ?
Its only Madnafen thathas the issue!
