RetroArch/info/epsxe_libretro.infoContrary to what some users assume, “Section 316” is not a specific line of code or a known documentation section. Instead, it’s a generic error handling code within RetroArch. It essentially means: “The core (ePSXe) failed to initialize or run, and I don’t have a more specific error message to give you.” The number may vary, but “316” is the most commonly reported one for PS1 cores.
ePSXe uses plugins for graphics, sound, and CD-ROM reading. Ensure you're using compatible and updated plugins. The graphics plugin, in particular, can cause issues if it's not correctly configured or if it's not compatible with your system or the game.

If the error persists, collect forensic data.
You need three specific BIOS files. The names are case-sensitive:
The phrase "check the section 316" is terrifyingly vague. It sounds like a legal clause or a military regulation. In reality, it is a generic error code thrown by the ePSXe core when it fails to initialize the PS1’s CPU or load the BIOS.
"Section 316" refers to a specific part of the source code where the emulator checks for critical components before booting. If any of the following checks fail, the core stops and points you to Section 316:
Essentially, the emulator is screaming: "I cannot start because the foundation is broken."
