SOLVED: Unable to launch a PSX game using a command

Unread post by Waifu4Life »

So I've been working on a project with a PC launcher called Playnite. With the help of the MiSTer Scripts Remote and Tapto, I can launch my MiSTer games via my PC. Here's a video example for NES games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMr6OmZpFi8

I managed to launch every game from any consoles including consoles with optical media such as Saturn, PCE CD and Mega CD, but for some reason, PSX games won't launch, I just get a black screen. I think it may be a BIOS loading issue since the BIOS normally load when manually choosing a game via MiSTer, but I'm not sure.

Here's a command to load a Saturn game (which works):

Code: Select all

curl --request GET --url http://192.168.2.100:7497/api/v1/launch/Games/Saturn/Bug!/Bug!.cue

Here's one for a PSX game (which does not work):

Code: Select all

curl --request GET --url http://192.168.2.100:7497/api/v1/launch/Games/PSX/Bomberman/Bomberman.cue

Anyone has an idea of why it's not working with this system alone?

The issue was the unstable PSX core I was using, the latest stable build does not have the issue. Thank you to Wizzo and Birdybro from Github for their help.
