[DISCUSSION] Neo Geo CD (Official name in retropie/retroarch emulation)

It doesn't really matter which name you give the directory so long as it matches the es_systems.cfg.
In your cfg file, put neocdz in 'theme' to match most themes.

I hope that answers your question!

Really? https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26064/neo-geo-cd-for-dummies/31

@kactius Hmmm I may have been wrong concerning the theme then.

[kactius]

I am really confused on this matter..
It would be good a debate on the correct name providing evidence or that the developers of the retropie team and the themes take the matter, to have a common front

[Zering]

@kactius just go with neogeocd with everything, it will work the same.

Most themes don't support Neo Geo CD in my experience anyway.

@kactius
Check in your folder
etc
emulationstation
themes
in the folder in the theme
example i have it as -
neocdz theme
but i still use only the
neogeo theme
its enough for me:)

Yeah! is correct in neogeo folder work, the original es_system.cfg support chd format.
I find folders in different themes neocd, neogeocd, neogeo_cd, neocdz ,
If i wanted to add it as a separate system, I can't see a correct pattern or naming conventions

[Zering]

@kactius Then just change the theme entry according to the theme you're using.

[nj180grados]

mmm the most acepted name could be "neogeocd"?

[Zering]

@nj180grados It does not matter, just check what name your theme uses for that system.

[shavecat]

how did u mange it to work ?
lr-neocd using it
but its just going back to ES

[Zering]

@shavecat sounds to me like either you have the wrong bios or you didn't put them in the right place.

@Zering

@shavecat I'm not sure what any of this means,but you should have another bios file named neocd.zip on top of neocdz.zip

[shavecat]

@Zering
haha thanks :))
but i dont think its coming to the bios anyway...

[Zering]

@shavecat Did you follow the guide in the Neo Geo CD for dummies Thread? That's the one I followed and I had no issue.

[shavecat]

@Zering
yep
asked help there
thanks :)
