I had a similar problem with DOSBox emulator after the last update and fixed it copying the previous .dll and .info core files to the actual installation and replacing

okay, so how do I go about finding the previous .dll and .info core files for PCSX-Rearmed?

here you can download previous versions included with all dll and info files:
https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/

or you can go to the main Retroarch site and scroll down to the "Other downloads"

Battle Arena Toshinden (meant the first one and accidently put Toshinden 2) and Battle Arena Toshinden 3 are in a .img format

Castlevania SotN is in .bin format

Final Fantasy VII is in .img

Glad you could solve it. Wanted to tell you that have just tested them with beetle psx hw and they work w/o issues.
Maybe the bios were deleted? Or you had to update the core that somehow got outdated?
Besides all of my games were bin+cue but converted to .chd to save space.

hmm might wanna try that plugin too. and I do have the bios in the system folder. I think it might have been the core that needed to be updated, though I did run into another issue, Soul Blade is really laggy and has no sound.

Soul Edge (the original and not censored version) works perfect. I'd suggest you to try another emulator/core.
Beetle PSX HW and Swannstation for instance.
And if you mean the conversion from bin+cue to chd it's not a plugin, it's a tool you can get from google.

Glad to hear that. Consider those 2 cores that are great within ra if you experience something similar again.

Almost anytime a game stops working after it was working, you need to roll the core back to the previous version.
