      @bytethis is there any reason to prefer neogeo cd instead of the MVS rom version within fba romset?

      as far as i know cd versions where only released for few earlier games but it was generally limited due to small cache and long loading times of the neogeo cd.

        @robertvb83 Just something new to learn and experiment with I suppose. Want to see the quality difference of games. I have seen the NeoGeo Cd game list and has some titles that I already have and wanted to play the NeoCD versions. My Retropie setup has seemed to be idle with adding anything new in quite awhile , so thought I would try something different.

          @bytethis Can you use the Runcommand launch menu and change the emulator for the NeoGeo CD game to lr-fbalpha-neocd ? I think this is how the command command line gets the -subsystem neocd parameter when running with an .iso or .cue file. If that works, then you can save this emulator for the game.

            @mitu I went into Runcommand, but the option for lr-fbalpha-neocd isn't there. Just lr-fbalpha and lr-fbalpha-2012.

              @bytethis Can you post your /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/emulators.cfg file ? After updating right now, the contents of the file contains the support for launching NeoGeo CD images

              lr-fbalpha = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbalpha/fbalpha_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
              lr-mame2003 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003/mame2003_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
              advmame = "/opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/bin/advmame %BASENAME%"
              default = "lr-fbalpha"
              lr-fbalpha-neocd = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbalpha/fbalpha_libretro.so --subsystem neocd --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
              

              and the same for fba

              lr-fbalpha = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbalpha/fbalpha_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
              default = "lr-fbalpha"
              lr-fbalpha-neocd = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbalpha/fbalpha_libretro.so --subsystem neocd --config /opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"

                      @bytethis Ok, it's clear your file doesn't contain the correct emulator invocation, but - as I said in the beginning - this was committed recently, so you'd have to run an update for both the RetroPie-Setup script and at least update the lr-fbalphapackage.

                          @bytethis You don't need to update from source, the emulator is the same, it's just the support for the NeoGeo CD that was added as a configuration option. Update from binary and you should be fine.

                            @mitu I updated from binary and still no change. Rom still kicks back to the menu and no option for lr-fbalpha-neocd.

                              Update RetroPie-Setup, not the emulator.

                                  Ok, then try to add the line with the neocd I pasted in the arcade system's emulators.cfg and see if it shows up in the Runcommand launch menu.

                                    @mitu I got it to work. I was trying it on Retropie version 4.2, which I had more space on that sd card for the rom. I forgot I had a brand new sd card with the newest Retropie on it (brain fart ) .I updated the lr-fbalpha and added the rom and bioses and it works. There is an option for lr-fbalpha-neocd in the runcommand menu now . Thanks for all your help man !

                                      Pros :

                                      • Better sound in some game
                                      • 1 exclusive game (Samourai Showdown RPG) which is in japanese but have unofficial translations it seems. Well, from what i heard, it's not a great game.

                                      Cons :

                                      • Some sprites/animations are removed here and there in some games
                                      • Loading

                                        @barbudreadmon Is there a way to improve the loading times? These aren't real discs we're playing.

                                            @bytethis Just to add to my posts , I didn't know that neo_cd may not work on Retropie 4.2 nor Retropie 4.3 . I tried both but there is no actual documentation on what version of Retropie it actually work and run the roms. It may run on different versions...i don't know. I appreciate it being released and got it working and I know it's brand new to the Retropie scene. I am grateful to @mitu for helping me. I'm sorry at the end I feel I wasted your time . Thank you the help you gave.
