      These weren't working correctly :
      burn-cycle (1994)(philips)(eu)[!].chd.boots logo then black
      escape from cybercity (1992)(philips)(eu-us)[!].chd. (works until the menu)
      girl's club - the fantasy dating game (1993)(philips)(us)[!].chd. (dirty cd warning)
      go - special edition.chd. (lines in display / bad_sectors info in cdi.xml)
      grand prix special (1994)(xdra)(eu).chd. (won't boot)
      jigsaw - the ultimate electronic challenge (1992)(philips)(us)[!].chd. (joystick problems)
      mega maze v1.06 (1994)(philips)(eu)[!].chd. (works until maze then the joystick will not work anymore)

        Perhaps a good idea to refurbish this post.

        If possible :

        • give it a better name.
        • summarize everything in the first post

        Like we do in :

        • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28345/old-computer-appreciation-thread
        • https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29682/development-of-module-script-generator-for-lr-mess-and-mame-standalone

        Are you able to do that ?

          @folly Burn-Cycle is on your good list but freezes on the title screen for me, I'll have to try it again.

          I can confirm that Merlin's Apprentice and Zelda's Adventure are runners.

          @escc1986 what are we thinking title-wise? "CD-I emulation through lr-mess" ? Aside from that, it is just a copy paste of Fol's instruction messages I think, that will make up the body of the topic.

            Tested Burn-cycle now, not working now :

                  You don't have to do it in 1 day, you know.
                  Just take your time.

                  Perhaps this is a better thread name, a bit more general :
                  CD-I emulation

                  or

                  All about Philips CD-I

                  Because it's now also possible with mame on rpi and we can discuss more.
                  What do you think.

                      Seems you have created a new thread.
                      Well we can use that thread too if we want.
                      But it should be possible to change the name of the thread.
                      It's not the end of the world, you know.
                      You can try again, if you can't then it doesn't matter.

                          Leave it for now.
                          I can't find it also, how to change the thread name.
                          In time I will ask someone who knows.
                          Then we can try again.

                            It's good to have the steps for what you've done here in a thread anyway, at least it is more searchable now.

                            So MAME can run it as well? Have you tried CD-I through that or is it a lot of effort (not that things being convoluted has stopped you before...)?

                              If you use my latest generator script it will implement the mame command lines too.
                              Make sure you first install mame !

                              You have to put the bios in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame !
                              (I have changed this so lr-mess and mame use the same bios file)

                              Have you already the directory /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/ext ?
                              Basically this is support for external repositories, in the latest versions of RetroPie-Setup.
                              If not, update your RetroPie-Setup.

                              Then just do this in the terminal:

                              curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scripts-00/generate-systems-lr-mess_mame-2v0-alpha.sh" | bash -s cdimono1
                              

                              It will create a module script for cdimono1 in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/ext
                              Install it from the experimental packages. (install-cdimono1-from-mamedev-system-cdimono1-cdrm.sh)

                              It will create lr-mess lines but also mame lines in the emulators.cfg .
                              So you will be able to make a choice between them.
                              That simple 😁

                              Joystick and mouse support are a bit different for mame.

                              Just try.

                              ps.
                              Just look at my thread on what is done (first post) :

                                  @folly Cool, I'll give it a go. It sounds simple.... (famous last words)

                                  Does it work any better though?

                                  Don't answer that, I can find out myself.

                                  Edit: I don't have the /ext directory...

                                  Presumably because of this when I try to update the RetroPie Setup Script.

                                  *Update failed:

                                  error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:

                                    Ok, don't know what is causing this.
                                    We skip the update part then.

                                    Just run the script and move the created script module :

                                    mv /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/ext/RetroPie-Share/scriptmodules/libretrocores/* /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores
                                    

                                    That should do the trick.

                                    Then install.

                                    btw.
                                    (You can read this, but if above works you don't necessarily have to update)
                                    How did you do the update ?
                                    In the command-line with git or in the retropie-setup.
                                    Here is some info on the matter (naturally, you have changed files or added files, that's why it will not update) :
                                    https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29338/cannot-update-origin-master-error
                                    But I would not advice to use the commands in that thread, I don't know exactly what they do.
                                    If nothing works, you can just rename the old RetroPie-Setup directory and git clone the new one.
                                    I think you know what I mean with git clone etc.....

                                      @folly Okay, that has worked, thank you... Do I install:

                                      • install-cdimono1-cmd
                                        Or
                                        -install-cdimono1-from-mamedev-system-cdimono1-cdrm

                                      The Package Help information doesn't really help too much to choose between them.

                                      On the GIT CLONE, I am sure I can work it out! But for the moment I might leave it as it is, nothing is broken and I have the systems I want working (apart from CD-I)!

                                        Use the second -cdrm script.

                                        Indeed, the package help is on the todo list.

                                          Indeed, the package help is on the todo list.

                                          Okay, that wasn't a criticism by the way. You've achieved loads already.

                                          That works! Doesn't seem to run anything any better but I presume this is still being developed so maybe one day this will work through MAME. Thanks for the help!
