When a game does not start
Most of the time, a BIOS file is missing or is the wrong version. Three checks find it.
1. Check your 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: a file is there with the wrong contents: another region or model, or damaged.- Fewer present than the total: some files are missing.
- A line under a file, like
still zipped: it says what to fix. 0 wrong hashand all present: your files are fine. Go to step 3.
2. Fix the files
Run the same command without --check. It adds the missing files and replaces
the wrong ones, keeping the old ones.
3. Check the folder and the names
- Right folder? Your emulator must read the folder the command used. Your setup's page names it.
- Is the name exact?
scph5501.binandSCPH-5501.BINare two different names. On Linux, capital letters count too. - A
biosfolder 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 will not open? Download every part, like
Pack.part1of2.zipandPack.part2of2.zip. Unzip each one into the same folder.--checknames a part you missed.
One console only
Add --system and its name:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --check --system sony-playstation --verbose
--verbose names each missing or wrong file. --list-systems shows every
console name.
My setup says UNTESTED
Batocera shows UNTESTED for a file with unexpected contents. Run the command
without --check to replace it.
If the command fails
- Network error: check that github.com opens, then try again.
- Permission denied: do what the message says. It names what to run.
- No setup found: pick it from the list. Or name it and its folder:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --platform retroarch --dest ~/.config/retroarch/system
