Emulators: lr-genesis-plus-gx, lr-picodrive
lr-genesis-plus-gx is recommended for the Pi 2/3 as it has better accuracy.
ROMS
Accepted File Extensions: .bin .chd .cue .iso, .m3u for multi-disc games.
Note: .bin files won't be displayed within Emulation Station, they will be referenced via the .cue.
Place your Sega CD ROMS (.chd .iso OR .bin AND .cue) in
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/segacd
Multi-Disc games
For multi-disc games using .cue
or .chd
format, you can create a .m3u
playlist to be able to easily change discs from the RetroArch's Disk Control menu.
To change the disc through RetroArch, from the "Quick Menu", enter "Disk Control", use the "Disk Cycle Tray Status" to open the virtual disk tray, change the disk number to the correct one, then use the "Disk Cycle Tray Status" to close the virtual disk tray.
Example playlist for Fahrenheit:
Folder Structure:
- Fahrenheit (Disc 1).cue
- Fahrenheit (Disc 1).bin
- Fahrenheit (Disc 2).cue
- Fahrenheit (Disc 2 - track1).bin
- Fahrenheit (Disc 2 - track2).bin
Contents of the .m3u
playlist
Fahrenheit (Disc 1).cue
Fahrenheit (Disc 2).cue
