Sorry to pester, but I'm having some trouble getting the pcsx-rearmed add-on to detect the BIOS file.

I have followed the instructions on the wiki for placing the BIOS file:

~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.pcsx-rearmed/system/

— https://kodi.wiki/view/Game_add-ons#Wher...BIOS_files?

However, despite this, pcsx-rearmed still fails to find the file.

I have tried a few other locations according to various sources (forums/Reddit/etc):

1. ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.pcsx-rearmed/resources/system/
   
2. ~/games/ps1/ (Next to the game I was trying to run.)
   

Under the "Why isn’t my BIOS working?"

Just to verify the file location, you can see it here.

• It's in the correct location.
  
• It is named correctly.
  
• It's the US BIOS, which I'm trying to run a US game.
  
• The checksum matches the BIOS requirement table.
  

sh:


LibreELEC:~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.pcsx-rearmed/system # pwd

/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.pcsx-rearmed/system

LibreELEC:~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.pcsx-rearmed/system # ls

scph5501.bin

LibreELEC:~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.pcsx-rearmed/system # md5sum scph5501.bin

490f666e1afb15b7362b406ed1cea246  scph5501.bin

Can anyone confirm if the documentation is up-to-date regarding the BIOS file location? Or alternative if they have a similar experience with my setup?

Did you try to change the permissions.
For me a first try with

Code:

chmod a+rwx scph101.bin

did the job

Correct path should be ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.pcsx-rearmed/resources/system, the wiki looks to be outdated.

Just tried it now, that resolves the problem.
Though instead of doing a+rwx, I opted for 544, which was fine for me.

Code:

chmod 544 scph5501.bin

 

Correct path should be ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.pcsx-rearmed/resources/system, the wiki looks to be outdated.

Indeed, this is the correct path.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to edit the wiki or create an account to address that. ^-^'

I've updated the wiki. Can you confirm it's correct now?

[OmniBlade]

Looks correct to me now.
