The newer stable's and nightly's of psxrearmed dont work, there is a link on page 294 with a working .cia.
As for installing, place the retroarch folder on the root of your sd/microsd card, and make a map for the three psx bios files and place them in it.
Make sure the three bios files are the one specified within the emulator since it specifically looks for those.
You will need to adjust the settings in the emulator as to where the emulator looks for the bios files.

Ah, I forgot that MAME ROMs change almost as often as the emulator gets updated, haha
While I couldn't find downloads for the separate games for that version, I was able to just find a big ol' download with every game, so I suppose that's good

And, from that comment about MAME 2003, I can guess that I won't hold my breath for any updates to fix that display issue.

Thanks for the help!
And that's a real bummer since some of the MAME roms that require rotation only are playable in 2003.

Just to let people know, the problem with mirrored images in vertically oriented games has been fixed (for well over a month by now). It was fixed by PR 5054.

Screen rotation doesn't work yet, but that's a different problem.

Okay, I'm about to tear my hair out over this because it's driving me mad. I just installed the latest stable build of gpSP from the OP on my n3DS XL, have the GBA BIOS properly named and placed and every single game I play has this really ugly graphical glitching at the top of the screen that's very distracting and not pleasant to look at, and the one game I tested where it actually went away after a few seconds of play (Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland) crashed the system after about a minute of play with no glitch. I -know- gpSP is capable of running GBA games flawlessly, because there's literally video proof on youtube from two years ago of someone running multiple games on it, switching back and forth between them, and there's not a graphical glitch in sight. I've messed with any video setting I can find to see if it fixes the issue, but no such luck. I tried mGBA to see if that was better and the sound was god awful, there were no settings or easy way to swap roms without quitting the program and it was just generally unpleasant, so it's back to gpSP, where the sound is basically perfect, games run well (outside of that one crash) and everything seems to be flawless except for that glitching. Has anyone else run into this and figured out how to fix it? Maybe I'd be better off using an older build? If so does anyone know a good one that will run without graphical glitching? Any help at all would be appreciated. I'd really like to get this figured out so I can enjoy my GBA games, haha.

I don't seem to have the problem in the version i am using atm, nigthly 07-25. make sure that in the directory you point to the map that holds the bios file.
If the glitch keeps persisting, you can also try deleting the config files, might be that there is a setting wrong.

gpsp is known to randomly crash some games. It happened to my friend with his fire emblem game. Currently, I've only played like 3 games using gpsp, and pokemon emerald was the only one that didn't crash. could you be a bit more specific and descriptive about the particular "glitching" that isn't crashing? If the game is randomly crashing in gpsp, see if you can find a VC inject.

Set 'Frame Delay' to 1, under video settings.

Tried to reply to this last night, but the site went down for maintenance right after I saw it. This fixed the issue. I had a random crash in Shining Soul while I was testing out a few random games, but otherwise the sound and graphics are perfect, and I'm willing to live with a chance of a crash every now and then on certain games. No idea why the stable build just shit the bed on me in terms of graphical fidelity, but using that particular nightly build was the ticket.

Edit: I got the Atari one working...may lag a bit on old 3ds but so far it seems not too bad.

Is there a core for Commodore 64 games?

Anyones else suffers from slow framerates after updating to 1.6.3?
1.6.0 had no problems. Playing CPS and NeoGeo games were always 59-60FPS, now it get's barely at 50FPS, mostly between 40-44FPS...
