Raspberry Pi 1/0 users that choose to use this emulator should be made aware that RetroArch's Bilinear Filtering will cause abnormal behavior in some games and should be disabled whenever emulation issues are encountered. Pcsx-rearmed This emulator is advised for those on a Raspberry Pi 1/0 due to the lower system requirements.
Most emulation issues described above in lr-pcsx-rearmed's details should also apply to this emulator as well since those issues are unrelated to the processing power of the hardware. Where is lr-beetle-psx?
The Beetle/Mednafen PSX core is not available for systems with ARM CPUs (like the Raspberry Pi) because it does not perform well enough. This emulator is supplied for people who are running RetroPie on more powerful x86 systems. $ grep flags scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-beetle-psx.sh rpmoduleflags= '!arm ' ROMS Accepted File Extensions:.cue.cbn.img.iso.m3u.mdf.pbp.toc.z.znx Place your PlayStation ROMs in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx Why aren't my.bin files showing in Emulation Station? Since June 16th 2016 the RetroPie script has configured Emulation Station to no longer show.bin files in the UI. This means that a.cue file is required to start the game. A.cue file is basically a plain text file that tells the emulator where in the.bin file the (data and/or audio) track(s) are.
This is often important in the case where multiple audio files are in the single.bin file. These are often called 'mixed mode' discs. If you only have a.bin file and no.cue file, you can generate it:. or. Why.bin was removed.
It is very common for PSX games to be in 2 parts, a.bin and.cue, this means that Emulation Station will show duplicates for each game which no-one really wants. This is because it used to show extensions.bin and.cue. A PSX game will only ever need one.cue file, so by hiding a.bin it prevents duplicates showing (as it could have multiple.bin files). By hiding.bin files it will make the user think a little bit more about how the emulator loads files rather than blindly throwing files at it until it works. Any PSX game that has multi tracks will work better (usually audio tracks) if it has a.cue to point to the audio.
If your PSX game is a.ecm extension, its a compressed file that needs to be extracted with ecmtools. Sudo apt-get install ecm ecm-uncompress game-file.bin.ecm BIOS lr-pcsx-rearmed Whilst lr-pcsxrearmed has an emulated BIOS to fall back on, this has limited compatibility meaning most games will have issues running with it, and others will not work at all. It should be considered mandatory to manually install an official BIOS. The following BIOS are supported: Recognized Name Redump Name CRC32 MD5 scph101.bin psone-45a.bin 171BDCEC 6E3735FF4C7DC899EE98981385F6F3D0 scph7001.bin ps-41a.bin 502224B6 1E68C231D0896B7EADCAD1D7D8E76129 scph5501.bin ps-30a.bin 8D8CB7E4 490F666E1AFB15B7362B406ED1CEA246 scph1001.bin ps-22a.bin 37157331 924E392ED05558FFDB115408C263DCCF Place BIOS in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS If more than one of the BIOS above is provided, then the latest revision of the BIOS available is automatically chosen. The recognized name can be all uppercase or all lowercase so if saving space and using pcsx-rearmed is a concern, then you may want to consider renaming scph1001.bin to SCPH1001.BIN instead of having two copies of the same BIOS.

The original Playstation was undoubtedly a great game console. It was the first console to bring disk-based games to the mainstream, and it was home to a whole host of now classic games, spawning more than a few legendary franchises. The day of the PS1 has long passed, but the games are still great, and the options to play them now are unfortunately limited. However, there is hope with emulators. For Linux systems like Ubuntu, one of the best emulators is PCSXR, and it’s available right from the default Ubuntu repositories. Sudo apt install pcsxr Yes, it’s really that simple. PCSXR Options Open PCSXR.
Depending on your desktop environment, it’ll be listed under the “Games” section of your launcher, or you can just search for it in GNOME. There’s not a whole lot going on when you first open the emulator.
There really doesn’t have to be, though. Click on the memory card icon first. A new window will pop up with two columns. Those columns list potential save blocks on two virtual memory cards. Below each row there’s a button to change the location of your virtual memory card. You can keep making them, so you’re probably never going to run out of space to save your games. Head back to the main window.
Click on the monitor icon this time. That’ll open your graphical options. There’s not a lot that you need to do here, but you can change the emulator’s screen size, which is really nice because the default screen is really small. There are also sound and controller options there. You can have a look around there too. The controller is just a simple table, so it’s not hard to set up the controller of your choosing to work with PCSXR. Getting Games You have a couple of options when it comes to getting games.
Ideally, you have your own games, and you can actually just insert them into your computer’s disk drive and run them from PCSXR. The first icon in the menu is for just that. It’s kind of a pain to use physical CDs all the time though, and not every computer today has a disk drive. You can, however, make copies of your games for continued use.

If you have an available disk drive (USB or internal) and the physical games, you can load the CD images onto your computer and use them whenever you choose. It’s very easy on Ubuntu. Insert a disk into the drive. Then, copy the image to a designated location with enough space.
Just be careful doing this, and be sure to specify an output file name. The dd utility can easily wipe a hard drive clean if you’re not paying attention.
Sudo dd if= /dev /sr0 of= /path /to /game.iso PCSXR can use the resulting ISO file. When all else fails, you can find and download ROMs online.
Downloading ROMs is a nasty legal gray area though, so be sure you know the laws in your area. In a lot of cases, downloading a digital copy of a game you already own is considered okay, but still check to be sure. Also, be cautious of your download sources. There’s a lot of malware out there tied to shady download sites that provide ROMs.
Playing a Game Playing games with PCSXR is very easy. Assuming you have a game image, either one you ripped yourself or from a download, you can click the second icon from the left on the top menu of PCSXR. It looks like a little Playstation. That’ll open a window that lets you browse to your game image. When you select it, the game will open and begin playing through PCSXR. Control your game with whichever controls you set up.
Of course, with PCSXR being a PC-based emulator, the keyboard will always work as a default. You’re all set up and ready to enjoy the glory days of the original Playstation on your Ubuntu desktop.
It’s a good idea to organize your game images and memory card saves someplace where you can easily find them. No one likes digging around for misplaced CDs, even if it is in digital form. This article was first published in March 2008 and was updated in June 2018.
