      Hi,

      Do you use the normal Carbon theme ?

      I have made my own vector based pictures for CD-I for the Carbon theme.

      I think you all ready have it.
      Just look in the "es-theme-carbon" directory of my "retropie-philips-cdi-tools".
      Copy the cdimono1 directory, with sudo rights, to /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/
      and you are done.

      You can also install other theme's that already have cdimono1 in it.
      The Retropie-Setup script of valerino has also more themes in it. Just run the setup and goto "configuration / tools" => "esthemes"

      I know that valerino/RetroCRT-240p has CDI in it, but I don't think that is what you are looking for. You can just try them 1 by 1.

                  I can't help you with all, but I think you have multiple options :

                  • you can install standalone MAME on windows 10
                  • you can install retroarch on windows 10 and install the libretro-cores with them
                  • I have heard of tutorials running RetroPie on windows
                  • you could run a linux os seperately on and usb stick and then install RetroPie

                  Most simple option is to install MAME, I think.
                  Look here :
                  https://www.mamedev.org/release.html
                  And here :

                    i have a question regarding the retoarch option ?

                    i have retroarch , but when asked if they have a core , everyone told me (in discord) there is no core ... do you know how i can download it on retroarch ?

                    or do you have anyone you may suggest that to help me with the mame portion ... im just really confused and have no idea when reading upon the mame ?

                      As far as I know you can download them from within the menu.

                      And otherwise you can download them and put them in the correct directory.

                                here you can download nightly cores :
                                http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/

                                click x86 or x86_64 and find RetroArch-cores.7z

                                    I am downloading the stable now.
                                    I will check if it has cores in them.

                                    You should also check you core-directory in the menu !

                                        In above link you find them directly.
                                        I can't find a mess core.

                                        My advise, try mame standalone.

                                            Standalone mame isn't part of retroparch.
                                            You can run it without.

                                            You can run mame from your console
                                            then you have to run, I think :
                                            mame cdimono1 -cdrm game.chd

                                            there should be a bios directory somewhere.
                                            You have to place the cdimono1.zip in there.

                                            or run mame with a click
                                            You get into a menu.

                                            Much is explained on https://docs.mamedev.org/
                                            Look at the documentation.
