Do not start games

zmiter25

Hello!
PSX Error pops up (no BIOS found, expect bugs), and black screen
Game Cube Error pops up (warning. The disc could not be read (at 0x37c8500c - 0x37c8728c).) And one button is ok. Closing the plate, the next one immediately jumps out. And so endlessly. You can step-by-step instructions on what to do. Thank you!

I thought I needed games+batocera+pc. this is not true?

for playing PSX games, you need the BIOS file, which is called "SCPH1001.BIN". you can find it via google, download it, and place it in the bios folder. make sure that you are getting the real file, which has the md5 hash:
924e392ed05558ffdb115408c263dccf

linuxfan1431 what (924e392ed05558ffdb115408c263dccf)?

I got it right? In batokera there are not enough files. Can I just reinstall it?

About the BIOS in the instructions are not written.
Installation Guide
1 Download Win32DiskImager
2 Download an image file from the download section
3 Unzip Win32DiskImager-0.9.5-binary.zip and run Win32DiskImager.exe
4 Extract recalbox.img.gz (gz is like zip, ie it's a compressed file)
Warning : some browsers like Opera/Chrome/Safari take the liberty to unzip the file by themself and badly rename them. If the file is more than 1GB, it is already unzipped.
5 Insert a usb key or a sdcard on your computer
6 Select the image and the drive in Win32DiskImager.exe like on the following screenshot and click on Write

7 Once finished, go on your usb key/sdcard and check that it looks like this
Playstation for PC (x86_64) In the table (Supported Systems (by architecture)) Indicated (Working)

Found a bios! Has thrown in a folder a bios. Now the game freezes at boot! At least some progress!

make sure to have the correct bios file "SCPH1001.BIN" for PSX. you can verify the md5 hash here: http://onlinemd5.com/

just upload the bios file and look at field "File checksum:". it must be: 924e392ed05558ffdb115408c263dccf

psx games must be copied into /roms/psx/ and you need the .bin and .cue file for each game.

linuxfan1431 Thanks of course! But it seems to me too difficult. I'll try to configure lakka. They have instructions. Certainly not step-by-step. But at least something. Batocera looks prettier. I do not have enough knowledge to configure.

linuxfan1431

lakka has the same requirements as this OS. you need the psx bios file and for each game the .bin and .cue file. bios files and games are never included for legal reasons.
