Usually a BIOS file is missing or the wrong version. Three checks find it.

Most often a BIOS file is missing or wrong.

Run the same command without `--check`. It adds missing files and replaces

wrong ones, keeping the old ones.
|

Run it again without `--check`. It adds missing files and replaces wrong ones.
|

|

## 3. Check the folder and the names
|
||||
|
||||
- **Right folder?** Your emulator must read the folder the command used.
|
||||
[Your setup's page](../which-pack.md) names it.
|
||||
- **Is the name exact?** `scph5501.bin` and `SCPH-5501.BIN` are two different
|
||||
names. On Linux, capital letters count too.
|
||||
- **A `bios` folder inside your BIOS folder?** That ZIP holds its own top
|
||||
folder. Move its files up one level.
|
||||
- **Unzipped by hand on Linux?** Run the command once. It adds the names that
|
||||
differ only by capital letters, which some ZIPs leave out.
|
||||
- **A ZIP in parts, like `Pack.part1of2.zip`?** Unzip every part into the
|
||||
same folder. `--check` names a part you missed.
|
||||
- **Right folder?** [Get your files](../which-pack.md) names the one your setup
|
||||
reads.
|
||||
- **Exact name?** `scph5501.bin` and `SCPH-5501.BIN` differ. On Linux,
|
||||
capitals count too.
|
||||
- **A `bios` folder inside your BIOS folder?** Move its files up one level.
|
||||
- **Unzipped by hand on Linux?** Run the command once. It adds names that
|
||||
differ by capitals only.
|
||||
- **A ZIP in parts, like `Pack.part1of2.zip`?** Unzip every part into one
|
||||
folder.

## One console only

## An arcade game does not start
|
||||
|
||||
Add `--system` and its name:
|
||||
It needs its BIOS set, like `neogeo.zip`, and a game set for the same emulator
|
||||
version.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- os-tabs -->
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --check --system sony-playstation --verbose
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Keep `neogeo.zip` zipped.
|
||||
- A game set for another MAME version often fails.
|
||||
Details: [the version of each emulator](../emulators/index.md).
|
||||
- Run the command once. It installs the BIOS sets your emulators read.
|
||||
|
||||
`--verbose` names each missing or wrong file. `--list-systems` lists the names.
|
||||
## The BIOS is fine, the game still fails
|
||||
|
||||
## My setup says UNTESTED
|
||||
|
||||
Batocera shows `UNTESTED` for a file with unexpected contents. Run the command
|
||||
without `--check` to replace it.
|
||||
- **Another emulator?** Each one reads its own files. Its page lists them.
|
||||
- **A BIOS setting?** Some emulators can skip the BIOS. In PCSX ReARMed, set
|
||||
**BIOS Selection** to **Auto**.
|
||||
- **A disc game in several files?** Open its `.cue` or `.m3u` file, not a
|
||||
`.bin`.
