it will save if you have save on exit and configuration files
Paul Clooney I tried it on this install and it didn't work but on my main sd card it works perfectly
Worked Perfectly for me - Thanks for the tip!
Did you go into Configurations and select save current? I still haven't been able to change the hotkey from select but I was able to change start to the unused button and keep it.
Hello, can you explain more how to do that, I tried to save buttons mapping but i cant after restarting :(
Just started redownloading my PS1. This was super helpful. Thank you!
ThankYou!!!! ETA Prime!!!! I'm using recalbox and work fine!!!! Right now i'm finishing Metal Gear Solid on Extreme!!!! Damn you Ocelot, 6 Torture rounds!!!!
thanks alot dude. I was just going to try figuring this out today when I get home from work. haha
Ive been setting up the retropie foir my boyfriend, and Ive been going through your videos. Just want to give a shout out for honestly being probably the best channel for figuring this stuff out. Its been a big help. Especially since it seems to be more complicated than other emulators. Thanks.
@Ceelo Mully Yes. Usually, in America at least, when two people date they refer to the other person as their boyfriend or girlfriend, depending on the other person's gender. Partner, significant other, or darling are other terms used.
According to Google, in some Spanish speaking countries they use chariño/a. I'm france, con saucisson. In Italy, mio amor. In Germany, mausebär. In Ireland, mo chuisle. In Russia, golubchik/golubushka. In Persia, moosh bokhoradet.
There's actually quite a few for different places, but those are some examples.
Super video, das man den Disk Index mit Rechts drücken ändern kann wusste ich nicht. Jetzt kann ich endlich so weiter machen wie ich will. Vielen Dank, meine Rettung.
Thank you so much for this mate, I'm actually using Beetle PSX HW on retroarch but the steps are the same.
Another great informative video. Thanks man.
I was just thinking of this exact topic earlier today - and POOF a video on it!
Great vid man, keep up the good work !
excellent video - got me subscribed
Love your videos on getting systems to look better would like one for ps1 if you don't already have it also to save your key maps before you exit there is a configuration if you click on that and go to save current configuration it will save and you won't have to input your key maps again
Woot! Thanks for this one. Now if I can just get all the arcade games to run perfectly...I may not need to leave the house for at least five years. :D
You have to save it under the configurations under the Main menu (retroarch's/retropie's) not the Quick menu (the one for the pcsx core). Anything you change outside of the options under the Quick menu have to be saved outside of the quick menu and will probably carry over across different cores (assuming retropie works exactly like retroarch in this manner)
Another great tutorial, thank you
Yes but how did you MAKE the multiple BIN files into 1 PBP file?
He doesn't show because he doesn't know and it's clickbait.
Found an answer. Convert to CHD with CHDMAN
Here is a link to a reddit page that WILL HELP BIG TIME!: www.reddit.com/r/PlaystationClassic/comments/ccck76/chdmanexe_with_a_batch_file_for_easy_compressing/
I did mine with a program called PSX2PSP. It combines the disc ISOs to a single PBP, and compresses them. It also seems I don't need a .CUE file to make it run, as well.
Thank u very much.
U help me a Lot
And this is why we love you eta ;D
Working!
Thank you, now I am able to play MGS on my PiStation :)
Joost Welling I cant find a working version of mgs . It’s killing me
great video thanks
Thanks for the pointers!
I found psx2psp v.1.4.2 on-line
As a rare/reluctant Windows user I thought I would post some tips for Ubuntu and Ubuntu based Linux based Operating systems.
I had to disable the theme, to make the choosing of roms possible; but then it said it was missing a file called base.pbp.
I had to scour the Internet for it!
I'll link that file, and the complete version I'm using my Google-drive and bit.ly link shortening service.
In the options I turned the compression all the way right(9), and gave it a default input/output folders for convenience.
I had the unrar package installed(sudo apt install unrar), so I was able to just right-click in my Gnome-nautilus based file manager(caja Linux mint mate(works just like any other Gnome based file manager)); and selected "extract here".
In order to run the program I had to install a couple of packages:
$ sudo apt install wine-stable win32 -y
then to run just use the following command in the directory with the .exe.
$ wine-stable ./PSX2PSP.exe
In most Gnome based distribution's file manager's you can Right-click and select open-terminal here, in the file manager if your not used to navigating the command line interface; to get your terminal in the right folder.
~~~~~~
Full working application in Windows/Ubuntu(Linux)(with wine):

If you already downloaded version 1.4.2 and just need the tiny base.pbp file in your files folder(because you got an error). Just download/extract the following to your psx2psp_v.1.4.2/Files/ folder.

I hope this helps the minority of Desktop Ubuntu/Linux users out there who prefer community over corporate Desktop/laptop Operating systems/software for whatever reasons.
Great video. Is it possible to map those hotkeys to some physical buttons on the PI case? So you can actually press them to change the discs? Perhaps running a switch to the GPIO pins? Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks!
Thank you!
A little off topic, but how do you scrape the box art for the pbp file? I have to manually edit for each file I need box art for. Thanks.
All the PbP files for ff7 I find say like "note this is meant to be played on psp not emulated" will it still work?
Yo dog you are the MVP.
Thanks!
New retropie user. I only watch ETA for everything, full stop. You know your shit man. Keep it up! Mad appreciation.
on some installs I find I have to chose retroarch settings from RetroPie menu on es before I load the game that way it saves and works across games
Hi, I have a problem with a specific game resident evil 2, I have a PBP file but every time I go on the quick menu and change the disk as you show in the video, it just doesn’t work as I try to restart the game it give me a black screen. If you can help me on that, that would be awesome thanks I know this game is not the same as a normal game disk change because they don’t ask you to change disk, first disk is Leon play and second disk is claire !
My PBP files play fine, but they don't want to scrape at all, so they don't show up when I have Parse Games List checked. I sort of need to have that checked, or it'll take 4+ minutes to load Emulation Station. When it's unchecked I can manually scroll to an unscraped game, edit the metadata and select save (this worked great for other systems that had games that wouldn't scrape - so at least they would show up in the menus later on), but for some reason the PS1 eboot games won't take, and don't show up at all with Parse Games List checked. Is this because they are classified as PSP games? Do I have to add them to the gameslist.xml manually? Any ideas on how to get my PBP files (ie multidisc PS1 games) to show up in the Playstation menu? Thanks!
Thanks a lot
I come from the future and got an advertisement for the ff7 remake!
It's the circle of life!
(using these files for hakchi2) is it safe to rename the .PBP files to the GameName.PBP ? having them all the same name makes save files mess up doesn't it? or does just changing their name in Hakchi2 fix it?
mine are all named Eboot.PBP
and does this work above 2gb now? before heard this method didn't work above that. on hakchi2
@ETA Prime What about the cue files? wont there be no sound without the cue file? i mean this for both Multi-Disk games and games with multipul track bin files ??? PLEASE HELP IM TRYING TO GET MY ROMS TO WORK ON RETROPI.
TronkyFran Theme. I finally found the name!
a easy tutorial to save map keys. RETROARCH > MAIN MENU > QUICK MENU > CONTROLS (refine your're joysticks and buttons ). Then *** if you select "Save Core Remap File" will save the mapped keys to all game(s) for that specific emulator. *** If you select "Save Game Remap File" only for that specific game.
you need to save the configuration. it's in the settings screen I believe.
Hey ETA, do you use in game save points or use the save states?
Nick O I would like to know this too
YOU ARE A GOD DAMN SAINT
in retroarch for PC and android you always need to manually save your hotkey config or it would be lost after restarting
Question. When you pop these psx games into a pbp file, how does it know how to scrape the game correctly? Is it smart enough to stick it in the ps1 sort list instead of trying to place it in the psp sort list?
Any way of playing scenario B for Resident Evil 2? No prompt to insert other disc, and loading from menu treats it like a whole different game without the save for Leon scene A.
fast way with .cue & .bin: 1st save state to mem card
go to the Disk Control menu, use "Disk Image Append" and chose the next disk. In my case, the game hangs up (RE:2) at this moment but I already saved the state, now I can exit the emulator and load the next disk. BUT you have to do this on every swap!
Does using the PBP version of the game lose quality in any way? I mean, the resolution of the 3D graphics can be fixed in the config, but does the bitmapped images are lower than the PS1 version because of that conversion?
I have each disc for FF vii as Bin files and going to convert to pbp files, but when I do that does it combine them all together or do I have to combine them before converting them?
Ahh yes; I remember using PSX2PSP to port over my physical copies to my hacked PSP. The good old days!
Do you still have this savegame and can you upload it? I'd like to test disk swapping before I play a multidisk game but I don't find a savegame at the end of a disk.
Thank you. How change discs without knowing the inner workings of a retropie. Many thanks
I'm having a hard time understands BIOS files. Most of my PSX collection and my copy of Sonic CD need BIOS files and I can't seem to be able to find them for download.
Please help!
I don't like mapping new commands, the standard setting already is troublesome the way it is. I actually had to disable some mappings to get some games playable. For instance, on any Syphon Filter games, you have to press X to crouch. Your weapon selection key is SELECT, so, if you are crouching to take cover or whatever, and try to change your weapon, you will reset your game, because SELECT + X is the default mapping for RESET.
Thx man..
does that work for metal gear solid? That game has the added annoyance of requiring the user to open the disk tray so a simple disk swap doesn't usually work
Hi all please excuse my knowledge I'm new to all this and I'm stuck on the basics. Everytime I download ps games they seem to be in a whole host of file types, do they have to be in a certain format and if so then can I convert all the files I download so they will work? As in disc image files ? Hope I made a bit of sense as I'm really struggling here
YOU ARE THA MAN I SWEAR!!
this found with recalbox?
I have retropie 4.4 installed and I can only get Tekken 3 and Metal Gear solid working. I have tried PBP files, Bin and cue, I have scph1001 loaded and scph5501. tried others also but still can't get any others to work. I have changed to all caps and not and still no luck. What is going on with it?
i have the same theme but it doesnt show informations from the game like yours? why?
Will it still understand if I downloaded the second disc as a separate software or I must use PBP?
Ever since retropie 4.5.1 did anyone get a pbp issue where you change the disc and if freezes for no aparent reason on the rpi3b+
They will save if you edit the retroarch.cfg file under opt/retropie/configs/all
This is where all the hot keys are saved so you just have to edit the change disk hotkey line
This is what I did and it worked perfectly
I converted my .bin files to .pbp and got the game to work. I already had a save point using the .bin files. How do I get that save point to load on the .pbp version? When I go into the game and select continue, there is no saved data.
How do I even get the PlayStation emulators to work. I downloaded the bios and the ROMs and still get nothing on my retro pie?
Does this fix the no music issue with multiple bin games? That is what im trying to get to the bottom of
Great Video but how to i get to Play the Game on the Psx emulator?
I Played Parasite Eve until the CD change point, and since the game don't let you save, and you need to switch discs to keep playing, im trying the .PBP solution in the hope i don't lose my progress.
But i can't find an answer for how to load it on PSX and not Psp. Help.
Hey prime. Can you show us how to use netplay with friends. Thanks.
the pbp files I have came each with a single bin file, and those happen to not work with pcsx rearmed for whatever reason. does anyone seem to know why?
I don’t seem to have any issues with using bin and cue files for multi disk games.
i had to change my playstation configuration bc i was using an xbox 360 controller. i just saved remap and that worked. idk if it will work with things that aren't in that menu, but i think it will. all of my ps1 games started up with "core remap file loaded"
reply and let me know if it worked.
I've tried loading disc 2 of Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus using both the .cue and .bin files and .PBP and still no luck. I followed the tutorial, but still it just tells me I've inserted the wrong disc. I don't know how others have had such an easy time. Is it the game? I don't know what else to do and it's driving me crazy!
Im pretty sure if you save your config, then it saves it as a secondary config, so it never overwrites the original config. so then you go into your configs, and name your new config that you saved , the same as the default config, then it loads your new config every time.
Love your vids can you send me a link to where I can get the final fantasy pbp file. Or where can I find the final fantasy 8 pbp file.
Is it possible that in the pbp Version of Resident Evil 2 Dualshock Edition the character is moving way faster?
Bon, vous ne saurez pas par hasard comment obtenir l'engrenage en métal de psx dans recalbox? en format pbp et k sont 2 k disques doivent être joints
Can you just go back to the retropie menu and select disc 2 or does that not work?
I had a similar issue with retroarch on linux, I ended up having to reinstall RA.
Hi I downloaded a Psx Gamepack (3gb) from Arcadepunks now i have 4 .7z files how can I convert this into .bin .cue files ? Thanks for helping me?
Hello, I like your videos they've helped me out a lot. I can't seem to get this right though, it seems as it works a little different. The game I'm trying to play and load disc 2 is Resident Evil 2, I follow your guide step by step but when I try to load the game it just goes into a black screen. Can you maybe test this one game yourself to see if it's just me? I would really appreciate it!
yeah man i totally agree!!!! I have RE2:Dual Shock on my Retropie. I just beat the game last night as Leon Scenario A and when i saved the game it made a Claire Scenario B file but i could not load it and the same thing happens to me when i try to switch the disc within RetroArch. I get why some other PS1 games switching the disc is no problem because you are promoted to switch it when necessary but in RE2's case there is nothing like that. PLEASE ETA PRIME!!!! make a video about this!!!!!
Parker Hughes Yeah Ive tried everything I could find on forums. I decided to just play it on my actual PSX lol.
Its not working for me even if I create the file it runs the first disc but it just keeps saying its the incorrect disc when its time to switch discs I don't know if they changed something in the latest update if anyone has any tips I could use them
With the hotkey thing you need to edit your "core override" file manually. Not retroarch.cfg Extract the lines you need for on your retroarch.cfg copy them into the Core override cfg. Retroarch won't save certain things like hot keys when you hit save core override.
This would be more helpful with links in the description.
Would be great if I could get .PBP files to boot, but my build doesn't want to run them.
I have started ff IX with .bin and .cue. is there anyway to play disk 2 and so on without having to start the game from the beginning? So, transfering the save state or something like that?
have you been saving with the games built in save function?
ETA PRIME yes, I used savestates and the built-in save function
Player Lala if you look in the ps1 folder you should have a file with .srm that's your memory card file. I just saved mine to my pc and transferred to a new sd with the pbp game
Ok thanks I'll try it!
Thanks, I had the exact same issue with the same title. You should pin this near the top. (I thought the .state file was the save)
how to modify or build a psx game with custom audio track files?
is there still no way to scrape boxart and such for pbp files?
Where do I save my pbp files in retropie folder of roms folder
I made my own ff7.pbp and it ended up being 1.99gigs. How can I make a working pbp of ff7 to work on RetroPi? I need help. Also, I didn't have any images when I scrap for the thumbnail.
Can't get these pbp files to work on my raspberry pi 3. Tried Metal Gear Solid and Legend of Dragoon. Shows game studio introduction, but won't do anything else for either game after that. Using same lr-pcsx-rearmed emulator, and files work on my psp. Do you need a cue file for pbp for retropie to recognize?
I got LOD to work(at least play) from pbp, but I started from 4 disc iso files. These files were originally bin/cue files, but I like iso's better; so I used a windows app on Linux through wine called winbin2iso to convert them. After I renamed the .state & .srm files to match the pbp file-name I was good to play. Although I'm still near the end of disc one, so I haven't tried switching discs yet only general gameplay. My compression was set to highest and my theme turned off. I needed to search the net for a file it was asking for called base.pbp running V.1.4.2 of psx2psp. Hope that helps.
Ok, but how do you do this with separated discs... ???
i dont understand how i create pbp file from my multi disc bin files
Am I missing something? Can’t you just go into the retroarch menu and load the disc?
I'm hoping you can help me with something. I have just got myself a retro pi 3B online with retropi 4.3 'Jessie-whatever that is' works fine however when i am trying to update it via the retro pi settings you know scripts etc it doesn't seem to be able to do it so i was going to start a fresh image of 4.4 on a SD card as it's advised so i wanted to start by backing up my data via dragging and dropping the current retro pi folders onto my windows on my PC and copying my BIOS, ROMS, CONFIG and SPLASH SCREENS folders however it goes to copy then stops........do you know if there is any other way to transfer the folders to a new SD card or directly onto my PC as I have a lot of ROMS and game saves there and don't want to loose them. Also my Dreamcast emulator on 4.3 doesn't work but i tested it on a fresh 4.4 build and it works fine, Thanks hope you get this.
Might be a little bit late now but you can use a program called WinSCP to login to the Pi and browse the folder structure of it. From this program you can upload and download files from the Pi. You can easily get all your saves etc this way
Great video. Can you please write down here the name of that theme? And the name of that core?
+Plantbased Companion theme is Tronkeyfran and the core is lr pcsx rearmed
ETA PRIME excellent thank you. Love all your videos. I have used almost all of them! What is the core used for? Does it replace the firmwares? My psx firmware works just fine. What makes this better?
I can't get my EBOOT.PBP file for FFVII working
Where can I get this theme, it looks great?
Can you tell me how you get multi track psx games to work?
Love your videos. My Retropie wouldn't be the same without them. Thanks
@Warren Turner - You can actually get this theme inside of retropie. Go to the retropie menu, find ES themes, look for update install themes, scroll down to Trunkyfran(bottom of list usually), then back all the way out to your main menu, click either select or start (think it's select) and look for UI settings. In that menu scroll down until your see the Theme option (should have an option to the right of it with carbon as default theme) and push left or right on the controller until you have Trunkyfran selected and simply select it. It should for a brief moment appear like the screen it frozen, after a few seconds it should refresh and you will see the new theme.
I did what you did on video still don’t let me and i see one disk
2 options to save configurations in Retroarch:
Manual : MAIN MENU > Configurations > Save current configuration
Automatic : MAIN MENU > Settings > configurations > Save configuration on exit
Cathy Penneflamme I tried this with the setup in the video and it would not save but it works on my
Main image I use everyday.
It might have something to do with the retroarch package being updated and the configuration restored to default, or maybe if you configure your inputs again on emulationstation it overwrite retroarch input configuration, if I remind well, RetroPie use the emulationstation input config file to pre-configure controls on all retroarch compatible emulators.
Hi ETA, My raspberry pi3 running the lr-pcsx-rearmed emulator is not able to boot my .pbp files. The RPI3 finds the files but when trying to launch them the screen goes black and I am returned to the games list. I have all the PSX bioses in the BIOS folder, but it does not use any of them. It runs some games in HLE mode instead.
Have you seen this before?
Thank you in advance and thank you for the great content.
did you ever solve this issue? as I am having the exact same issue when converting to pbp, it works fine with bin and cue files though
its ok, I figured it out, all working great now :)
@@lukeurry1628 cam you help me? How did you fix this problem?
I haven't used my raspberry pi for months now and cant remember what I did, sorry
The BIOS I had to use was the SCPH7003
If you are unzipping a .7z file and get a track 1 and track 2 .bin file and a .cue file, how do you combine them to pbp file in psx2psp?
CDmage ;)
op can you tell me if u can work with metakgear
