I noticed that a different version of Retroarch is used when i launch a game from Webman ROMS.
Is it the one in the PKGLAUNCH directory?
the system folder there is empty.
All my bios files are in the system folder of the community edition directory.
My Sega CD and PC Engine CD games run so i assumed it used the bios files in the community edition folder.
But when i try to run Atari 5200 i get a warning that says no bios detected and if it dont close out quickly it freezes my PS3 and i have to power down.
Also there was a few FBA games i wanted to add that required bios files and ive tried butting the files everywhere; PKGLAUNCH system folder, community edition system folder, the fba folder in ROMS that contains the game.
Were is the correct place to put my bios files for launching games with Webman ROMS?
 
When a ROM is mounted webMAN MOD mounts /dev_hdd0/game/PKGLAUNCH/PS3_GAME as /app_home and /dev_bdvd

The following paths are redirected to: /dev_hdd0/game/RETROARCH/USRDIR/cores (or SSNE10000 or SSNE10001)
/app_home/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/cores
/dev_bdvd/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/cores

The EBOOT.BIN in /dev_hdd0/game/PKGLAUNCH/PS3_GAME/USRDIR acts as the launcher for RetroArch cores.
Therefore /app_home/PS3_GAME is the application folder. The EBOOT selects the core based on the path or file extension.

If you have installed RetroArch CE, the config file retroarch.cfg is replaced with retroarch.cce (which is configured to point to /dev_hdd0/game/RETROARCH).

Therefore all the settings configured in RetroArch CE are stored in /dev_hdd0/game/PKGLAUNCH/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/retroarch.cfg when a ROM is launched by webMAN MOD. These settings can be configured using RetroArch GUI including the paths for BIOS and other resource files.

I know it's a bit confusing, but the process to mount a ROM from webMAN is not straightforward.
