Japanese PSX Games no Longer Work? What Do I Do?

Unread post by berighteous »

I've been playing japanese psx games on the unstable psx cores for months and today when I went back after the core went official I get an ED error. THEY USED TO WORK. I did Update_all twice. I still get an ED error. Do I have to go find japanese bios? where do I put them? Why doesn't it work any more? I need pepsiman. lol.

ok, derp, I got it. I just had to set the mode to usa playstation instead of auto. I'm at a complete loss when anything changes. I can't remember whatever I did to set something up months ago, and I barely get time once a week to even play anything. I can't keep on top of every core every day. I do an Update_all every time I turn the thing on. If that doesn't fix it I feel completely lost.

If you are using theypsilon's update_all script it should automatically download the correct BIOS's and place them where they are needed. You might want to remove any boot*.rom files from /games/PSX and let the script redownload them. If it's set up correctly with all 3 different regions BIOS you will be able to leave the region setting on Auto.
