    chito, I had the same issues running 2.4.2 but I was able to find the root directory of gpsp going one directory at a time. Here are my detailed instructions. The “quotes” should not be included in the code, but otherwise that is the text I entered.

    The new file directory is here: opt/retropie/emulators/gpsp/

    how to get gba games to work on retropie (using 2.4.2)

    press f4 to exit emulation station

    type “cd /” to go to top root folder
    “cd opt”, you can see the files/folders in each directory by typing “ls”, if desired.
    “cd retropie”
    “cd emulators”
    “cd gpsp”
    this is the root folder of gpsp in 2.4.2 (opt/retropie/emulators/gpsp/). If you type “ls”, you can see the program gpsp is in this folder. The error message said to save gba_bios.bin here.
    To download gba_bios.bin, first download the zip file by typing
    “wget http://www.roms4droid.com/files/bios/gba_bios.zip”
    to unzip type
    “unzip gba_bios”
    This unzips your file and you now have gba_bios.bin saved in the same folder as the emulator gpsp.
    Type “emulationstation” to start emulation station and choose GBA (assuming you have already transferred over your roms)

    I want to emphasize the steps below will work on any version of retropie:
    To download gba_bios.bin, change directory until you are in the same directory as the program gpsp (opt/retropie/emulators/gpsp/ for 2.4.2, /opt/retropie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi/ for 2.0 to 2.3, home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi/ for earlier versions.)

    Download the zip file by typing
    “wget http://www.roms4droid.com/files/bios/gba_bios.zip”
    to unzip type
    “unzip gba_bios”
    This unzips your file and you now have gba_bios.bin saved in the same folder as the emulator gpsp.
