Trouble with PSX titles

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

Hi all,

I’m new to running Retroarch on Windows. Have Lakka running great on my Raspberry Pi.

Currently I am Running Retroarch 1.6.2 on Windows 10. Trying to launch PSX games with Beetle PSX.

I have two issues:

  1. When I launch games, all I get is a black screen. No sound.
  2. I can only launch games with a .CUE or .PBP file extension. I’m used to running Retroarch on the Raspberry Pi. PCSX-Rearmed happily launches my collection of .ISO files there. I’d prefer not to have to mess around with .CUE files…

Relevant information: I have SCPH1001.BIN in the SYSTEM folder. Video card is a GTX 1060.

mednafen requires specific bioses scph5500.bin, scph5501.bin and scph5502.bin for asian, north american and europe games, the three bios files are required

Thank you friend, that was my issue.

Looks like I’ll need to create some CUE files for my games which is a pain. Is there a tool that I can use to do it automatically? I have about 50 games, all .ISO at present, no .CUE files.

i think “*.iso” are not supported by Retroarch. All CD-Images should be: “*.cue” + "*.bin "

Hi all!

Thanks for your help. I had some .CUE files backed up so have restored them. For the rest, I just built a quick Powershell script to generate .CUE files for each of my ISO files. Worked like a charm :slight_smile:

For reference, the code is:

$files = Get-ChildItem ./* -include *.iso,*.bin,*.img,*.mdf
ForEach ($file in $files) {
	$theFile = $file.name #just the filename
	$theName = $file.name -replace ".{4}$" #the filename minus the file extension
	$outputFile = $theName + ".cue"
    write-output "FILE ""$theFile"" BINARY" | out-file $outputFile -Append -encoding utf8
	write-output "  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352" | out-file $outputFile -Append -encoding utf8
	write-output "    INDEX 01 00:00:00" | out-file $outputFile -Append -encoding utf8
}
