MiSTer FPGA Forum

First of all I apologize for my english

The core does not load the jap games, i'm using the theypsilon's update_all to download the correct BIOS but i can't get it to work...

Help me please

There's already a thread about the same topic here:

viewtopic.php?t=4747

I know, i also commented but no one answered me. I already did everything they say but it still doesn't work

If you are using an external hard drive to store you games, and using the "Update_All_MiSTer" script, the BIOS gets downloaded to the SD card, the problem with that is, the core expects to load the games from the same drive were it loads the BIOS files, I have been told you can set-up "Symbolic Links" on Linux that is running on the MiSTer FPGA, but for me it's just easier to have the BIOS files on the external hard drive with the games and have the "PSX" directory on the SD card empty.

Here is how my external USB drive is setup:

EXTERNAL_HARD_DRIVE/PSX/boot.rom
EXTERNAL_HARD_DRIVE/PSX/boot1.rom
EXTERNAL_HARD_DRIVE/PSX/boot2.rom
EXTERNAL_HARD_DRIVE/PSX/RANDOM_GAME_1
EXTERNAL_HARD_DRIVE/PSX/RANDOM_GAME_2
EXTERNAL_HARD_DRIVE/PSX/RANDOM_GAME_3

boot.rom = SCPH-7001 = USA BIOS
boot1.rom = SCPH-7500 = JAP BIOS
boot2.rom = SCPH-7502 = EUR BIOS

I can confirm it works with symlinks:
Among others I have:
/media/fat/_Console -> /media/usb0/_Console
/media/fat/games -> /media/usb0/games
The PSX folder is in the games folder
The core is set for Auto region and I have no problem with US, EU and JP games. It just works as it should.
