Hi everyone,

So I am having this weird issue with loading .pbp files on the PCSX ReARMed core for Retroarch. I am able to load .chd files without issues but I just feel too lazy to make .cue files for all the .bins and afterwards compress them to .chd. So I would rather just use them eboots. However, PCSX crashed when loading any .pbp eboot file.

I appreciate any help!

System: New 2DS XL with Luma3DS 10.2.21
Retroarch version: Nightly downloaded yesterday
PCSX version: ReARMed 1.10.0
Bios files: scph5500.bin, scph5501.bin, scph5502.bin

Whenever I try loading a .pbp in PCSX core I get the following screen:

You are using a nightly? Try using a Stable release instead. Also, since (for me at least) Retroarch takes a long time to boot, I suggest looking at PSX2PSP https://psp.brewology.com/downloads/download.php?id=9697 to convert BIN + CUE to Eboot.pbp
and this tool to create .cia from the eboot.pbps: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ps1-forwarder-creator.550175/
Thanks for the reply. Well the reason I am using nightly is that the stable version was unable to load anything at all. So I read a post recommending using nightly and then it worked with .chd! Except for .pbp. But I guess that I can convert to cia instead then or just use .chd. I was just a bit curious as to why .pbp was not supported :) Thanks again!

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
