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

[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.

mmm the most acepted name could be "neogeocd"?

[Zering]

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

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

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

@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

asked help there
thanks :)
