      I found that your naming conventions are not in line with the other systems, also it wont be picked up by most themes because of this.
      My es_systems entry is as follows:

       <system>
          <name>neogeocd</name>
          <fullname>Neo Geo CD</fullname>
          <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeocd</path>
          <extension>.cue .CUE .chd .CHD</extension>
          <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ neogeocd %ROM%</command>
          <platform>neogeocd</platform>
          <theme>neogeocd</theme>
        </system>
      

      Hope this helps someone.

          @shavecat Enable verbose logging and post the log.

              @shavecat You need to post the contents of runcommand.log with verbose logging enabled.

                      That's not a Verbose log. Enable verbose logging and then look into the log to see the error. Post it on pastebin.com.

                        "When launching Libretro cores (those prefixed by lr-) the Runcommand launch menu presents the option to Launch with verbose logging. This outputs more information to the log file found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log which is useful, and often necessary, when diagnosing problems. Once the game is exited, the log file can be downloaded via SFTP or viewed directly via the command line.

                        "

                          Again, this is not a verbose log.

                              I think it's described pretty well in the docs - in the link posted by me or other posters. Just start the game by choosing the 'Launch with verbose logging' from the runcommand launch menu.

                                  Either a bad .chd file or missing BIOS files - which should match what's described in https://github.com/libretro/neocd_libretro. Your SYSTEM folder is borked though, instead of pointing to the BIOS folder as it's configured in RetroPie, it points to the ROMs folder - you probably reset the RetroArch's configuration file or messed up the configuration when you created a separate system for NeoGeto CD.

                                      No, that's not how it works.

                                          Why isn't neogeo cd in a separate folder from Neogeo by default? Just curious.

                                          You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

                                            @Unknown I believe because it's an extremely recent addition to the package and the latest release for Pi4 is still beta
