Instead of booting up and running the chosen game, it displays a few screens of blue vertical lines before turning to a shade of green. At this point, the whole system is unresponsive, not even to the safe shutdown switch. I've been trying all sorts of things to get this emulator working again as it did before but so far, no luck. I suspect it may be something to do with the display settings that seem to be causing it to crash, though I may be wrong. For the working version, I had used a Retropie 4.2 SD card image taken from the official webpage, then the Pi was connected to a computer monitor via HDMI. Since completing the Gameboy build, I am now using Kite's most-up to-date variant of the Retropie SD image (SAIO 20170401-1) and the Pi is now connected to a 320-240 LCD screen through the SAIO board itself. Maybe the Pi's looking for a HDMI connection that isn't there. Maybe this emulator just doesn't work with a DPI screen.

Could there be one or two lines of code that might help? If anyone has any recommendations, or if you'd like to try this for yourself and see what you find, I'd really appreciate it! I've tried tweaking the video mode and framebuffer res for the emulator but haven't seen any difference so far, and I haven't had any luck. I have found a solution! I'll share in just a second. Zeroboy, I did try the standard Retropie SD image with my Gameboy Zero just to see what would happen but unfortunately, it wouldn't boot up at all! Or at least, the screen doesn't display anything. I'm pretty sure the Gameboy buttons wouldn't work either, and there's a bunch of other features optimised for use with Kite's board. Kite's SD image is pretty essential tbh, especially as I'm not adept enough to make my own tweaks to the original image.Īnyway, here's the solution I found.
As I mentioned in my original post, there's surprisingly little written online about using pcsx-rearmed with a Pi Zero so information was pretty hard to find. However, I did find a Reddit post (link below) from about a year ago by someone who was having their own (different) issues with getting the emulator to work.
#Pcsx rearmed raspberry pi install how to#
The Reddit guide explains how to change a couple of lines in the psx emulators.cfg so that the emulator behaves more predictably, and in this case, it solved my problem! Check the link here: It seems that when you install pcsx-rearmed onto your Pi, it doesn't seem to look in the right place for some necessary files by default. Now, there were one or two lines of text that were different in the guide to how they appeared in the psx config file on my system. This might be due to the guide being a year old and a little outdated, though I'm not sure.
