When a game does not start
Usually a BIOS file is missing or wrong.
1. Check my BIOS folder
Your emulator says BIOS not found, BIOS missing or firmware
missing? 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 the fix. 0 wrong hash, all present: go to step 3.
2. Fix the files
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. - A
biosfolder inside your BIOS folder? The installer copies those files up one level. - BIOS setting on a subfolder, like
system/dc? Point it at the BIOS folder. Emulators add their own, likedc/for Flycast. - A ZIP in parts, like
Pack.part1of2.zip? Unzip all parts 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.
- Another MAME version's game set often fails. Details: the version of each emulator.
- Run the command once. It installs the BIOS sets.
The BIOS is fine, the game still fails
- Another emulator? Each reads the files listed on its page.
- A BIOS setting? Some emulators can skip the BIOS. In PCSX ReARMed, set BIOS Selection to Auto.
- The screen says "Please insert PlayStation CD-ROM"? The BIOS works.
The game did not load: open its
.cueor.m3ufile, 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.
No supported platform detected: name the folder. Not sure? Open RetroArch's Settings > Directory > System/BIOS.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --platform retroarch --dest ~/.config/retroarch/system
