Gpsp Help

[Mr. House]

So i downloaded gpsp and the bios, but when ever i try to boot it up it loads for a second or two then goes back to the menu screen.

try the usual trick: redownload gpsp, extract all the files onto your SD card, probably into a different directory, copy the bios over again and try again. usually transfer failures cause such issues.

So i got gpsp to run, nut when ever i start a game it sends me back to the menu. I think i may have the games in the wrong place. ANy advice?

I am having a similar issue. Correct BIOS(dumped them myself, and have tried ones people have gotten to successfully use), correct ROMs, and install. I have actually, had a small handful of games to run. Specifically only Metal Slug Advanced so far.

Sorry about the double post, but I had some new information I wanted to bring up.

So after learning the method of dumping a log to text file thanks to crow_riot. I ran a log dump on gPSP and got this:

Testing with Metroid: Zero Mission -

Lookie there, a big fat segfault. Wonderful. Any suggestions?

Here's a dump of a clean play, using Metal Slug Advanced(only game I've gotten to work so far):
