Can you post some shots so we can see what may be happening in your side?

Will see what I can do, I'm about to head off on holiday so it may have to wait until I get back. I am beginning to think that it's more a problem with my .pbp files rather than the emulator.
After tinkering for the last couple of days I've found that all of my files bar one work on epsxe and on retropie. About half work through retrox, I have also had problems with some of my bin/cue games too. This has led me to think it's maybe to do with how they are recognised by the emulators, perhaps during decompression and copying something has been lost which one emulator will overlook and the next one won't?
I've started replacing the roms I'm having trouble with so it's not a big problem, just a bit of trial and error. As I said befor I've had trouble with some in bin/cue format too, must have just got lucky with the other batch I acquired for my psp and retropie

Just bought the app and have the same problem. PBP files are only recognised by the PSP emulator.

PBP files are Playstation games, not PSP games. Can you try adding them as Playstation games?

I tried adding them as Playstation games but they are not found.

PBP is actually PSP format http://file.org/extension/pbp.html

These are PSone games that have been converted to be played on the PSP, they should however work in the PSOne emulator.

I've used pbp files with RetroX and haven't had an issue with them

Great that its working for some, but no matter what i try it won't work.

If i try to scan a single pbp file i get the following message:

All the files work fine in retropie. The file are hosted on a network share.
