When a game does not start
Most often a BIOS file is missing or wrong.
1. Check my BIOS folder
Run the command with --check. It changes nothing.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --check
Read the count line:
1/109 present (0 verified, 1 wrong hash)
wrong hash: another region or model, or damaged.- Fewer present than the total: files are missing.
- A line under a file, like
still zipped, says what to fix. 0 wrong hash, all present: go to step 3.
2. Fix the files
Run it without --check. It adds missing files and replaces wrong ones.
3. Check the folder and the names
- Right folder? Get your files names it.
- Exact name?
scph5501.binandSCPH-5501.BINdiffer. On Linux, capitals count too. - A
biosfolder inside your BIOS folder? Move its files up one level. - Unzipped by hand on Linux? The command adds names that differ by capitals.
- A ZIP in parts, like
Pack.part1of2.zip? Unzip every part into one folder.
An arcade game does not start
It needs its BIOS set, like neogeo.zip, and a game set for the same emulator
version.
- Keep
neogeo.zipzipped. - A game set for another MAME version often fails. Details: the version of each emulator.
- Run the command once. It installs the BIOS sets your emulators read.
The BIOS is fine, the game still fails
- Another emulator? Each reads its own files, listed on its page.
- A BIOS setting? Some emulators can skip the BIOS. In PCSX ReARMed, set BIOS Selection to Auto.
- A disc in several files? Open its
.cueor.m3u, not a.bin.
If the command fails
- Network error: try again later.
The clock reads ...: set the right date.- Permission denied: do what the message says. It names what to run.
- No setup found: name it and its folder:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --platform retroarch --dest ~/.config/retroarch/system
