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. -
