Does it exist?

[escc1986]

@zerojay

I heard somewhere you could play cd-I on the Pi

I just don't know what guide to follow correctly

[zerojay]

There is no lr-cdi core, you have to play it through mess.

[escc1986]

@zerojay

Do you ever think there will be a core that will support CD-I games in RetroArch ?

Is it an easy or difficult process to play cd-i
Games through mess ?

[zerojay]

@escc1986 lr-mess supports cd-i. There is info on this forum about how to set that up.

[escc1986]

@zerojay

Is there anyway youbor someoen else can point me to a proper easy guide ?

@escc1986

There was a way to get CD-I working with "old lr-mess" , though this does not work anymore !
From here I described how to get it working again with the "new lr-mess"(Version: 1.8.8).

Good luck !

Hi Folly , I Appreciate You Pointing me in the right direction

im such a newbie at this , ... i read through the whole post and still a bit confused with everything ... any way you can sit with me and try to explain step by step ? ... i have never installed cd-i before on a pi , and just recently got a pi 4

there hasn't been a lot of changes as of now on it and pretty much a fresh new build of retropie

What Steps would you recommend me do first , from the info i provided about my system ?

[Folly]

@escc1986

Did you install a Retropie-image on your SD-card or did you install Retropie with git on top of Raspbian ?

[escc1986]

@Folly

i installed it on an sd card

[Folly]

@escc1986

I assume you are in emulationstation.

Step 1 :
Goto :

• RetroPie
• RetroPie-Setup
• manage packages
• manage experimental packages
• lr-mess
• install the binary

[escc1986]

@Folly

Thank you for wanting to help me

from your instructions , Yes .... just did that now

installed from binary

[Folly]

@escc1986

How do you push your files to your image ?

[escc1986]

i use

Filezilla

or / and

Putty

or network ( windows explorer - \retropie ) simple through my pc for easy access to transfer roms or bios with Ethernet cable

it all depends what i may need to do

[Folly]

@escc1986

Ok

Step 2 :

• Rename your RetroPie-setup directory (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup)
• Download "Valerino's RetroPie-setup Fork" from https://github.com/valerino/RetroPie-Setup
• Unpack
• Rename this directory to RetroPie-Setup
• Push this directory to /home/pi

So now you have Valentino's Fork files in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup

Step 3 :
Goto :

• emulationstation
• RetroPie
• RetroPie-Setup
• manage packages
• manage experimental packages
• lr-mess-cdi
• install the source ( is a fast install )

[escc1986]

@Folly

• ok i just renamed the directory

• ok i just downloded the pack did

[escc1986]

now im not sure how to unpack it ? or did i just unpack it by downloading it ?

[Folly]

I presumed you would download it through your browser and than you have to unpack it and push it with filezilla to your pi.

However you can use this (if you are in your /home/pi directory) :
git clone https://github.com/valerino/RetroPie-Setup.git

This will not work :
wget https://github.com/valerino/RetroPie-Setup
