Hey all!
Brand new to retroarch, hadn’t even heard of it until about an hour or two ago.
So I watched some tutorials, read some videos, setup my SNES which works great, but then I went to add a PSX game following the same steps and I am getting a crash as soon as I launch. I am on Windows 7 64bit. I googled around and the first thing I did was check that my CUE sheets matched the file name, and they do. Secondly I made sure I had BIOS files in system folder. For some reason when I load the mednafen core and go to info, it was showing no BIOS present so I put them various places trying to find why (bios folder and main retroarch folder) then suddenly they showed as “present”
Sooo, I thought I had fixed my issue but upon trying a game again, it still crashes.
Unsure what else to try especially being new. I googled for 30-45 mins but only find the cue sheet and bios options.
Thanks in advance and for your patience with this newb.
(I forgot to mention I am using Launchbox, which possible this whole post should have been posted on their forums, my apologies.)
Here’s the error message in Windows

And here is the last bit of the log, saying no such file or directory, might be the issue?

I found something on google same error and they said it was bios and they changed where Retroarch looks for bios…but I cannot find anywhere ot change this directory?
(I didn’t realize there were specific areas for mendafen, please move if necessary, thanks!)
