Hey, @fr500. Where do I put the ps bios file when using pcsx libretro? I have it in my psx rom folder but it wont detect it

Thnx man. I cant get it to setup (pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so.zip wont download because its not on the list) so im just using the standalone.

Could someone post the original cfg? I somehow messed with it (only wanted to change the gui but it exits immediately) and deleting it creates a new one which is obviously not configured for GameShell…

Thanks!

**Gryzor** · August 4, 2018, 6:37am

Ah, I think I found it - presumably (haven’t tested it enough yet) there’s a copy of the original config named retroarch.cfg.blbak .

You can also find it here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clockworkpi/GameShellDocs/master/retroarch.cfg

**Gryzor** · August 4, 2018, 2:41pm

Yes, I did download it from there, but it’s not configured for the GS (GUI, screen etc).

**Petrakis** · August 4, 2018, 2:44pm

Thats the stock one, after downloading it, configuration is as follows: RetroArch Megathread

**Gryzor** · August 4, 2018, 3:02pm

Yes, seems to be the RA stock config. Whereas retroarch.cfg.blbak seems to be a copy of the one the device ships with.

Thanks! I was able to use this to get a game working! Thanks guys. Took me a while to figure out what was going on, having never used retroarch before.
Seems obvious now lol

Anyone have @fr500 version of gPSP_libretro?

His link is broken and I need it. Build it won’t work.

**uke** · January 9, 2019, 3:05pm

It would be great to have access to @fr500 versions of the cores. His link isn’t working.

**Micro007** · January 9, 2019, 3:51pm

I’m currently trying my hand at building my own. Complete newbie here, but im diving it. I was in the middle of testing flash ram memory on gPSP… so I kinda need it to work to keep testing it. Someone has to have the file.

In the Clockwork version v0.3 I can not change the hotkeys in the RetroArch settings. However I do not have the same problem with Clockwork v0.2.
Could someone help me with this? I try to put to load the combination Shift + L, and to save the state Shift + R, but it does not do anything when pressing the buttons …

**lasvegas** · March 16, 2019, 7:00pm

Those keys may already be assigned elsewhere.

**jlbp87** · March 16, 2019, 7:22pm

In RetroArch, I enter to assign the Hotkeys and when I press A on “Load State” (for example) I get 5 seconds to press the combination of buttons. However, when you press them, the account continues backwards and those buttons are not assigned.
In version 0.2 of ClockworkOS I do not have that problem, so I guess it is a “bug” of version 0.3
Has anyone solved it?
I also have problems with the Aspec Ratio of some emulators like Game Boy, Sega Game Gear, Super Nintendo …
I think I’ve seen a topic related to this a while ago … but I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me where to look for the solution.
Thank you very much partners!

**200** · May 19, 2019, 4:59am

I’m having the same problem, did you ever get it solved? Thanks!

**jlbp87** · May 22, 2019, 4:56pm

No … I have not found a solution to the problem and neither does it worry much neither developers nor users in trying to offer a solution for what I see.
I had to go back to 0.2, where we do not have Lima, and here we are … waiting for some day to decide to update this software that for the moment seems like a disaster.
