      So I run retropie on a rpi 1 B.

      I installed roms for most of the systems that are compatable with my system

      For some reason SEGA CD is not displaying on the games menu. I tried fixing it so may times but it just won't work.

      Even N64 works but not this

        @Auserisauser please give more information about your setup as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

        N64 on a RP1? Is your device overclocked by 2000%? :D

              Retropie version:4.7 (LATEST)
              Built from the pre-made SD card image from the rpi Imager
              I use a usb for transferring ROMS and use a keyboard for controls
              I got a error message on the music which got resolved
              The file I use is the Sonic CD (U) !.zip

                Retropie 4.7 is by far not the LATEST, it is nearly 2 years old.
                We are at 4.8.2 now, is there a special reason why you dont update retropie?

                Built from the pre-made SD card image from the rpi Imager

                What does that mean "from the RPI Imager"? Did you get the image from the retropie homepage?

                I got a error message on the music which got resolved
                The file I use is the Sonic CD (U) !.zip

                Which emulator are you using to run Megadrive/Genesis?
                Do you have the BIOS-Files for the MegaCD?

                  @sirhenrythe5th Ok so I told retropie 4.7 is the latest because I searched on Google and I got that as the answer. I know that I use the latest ver because I installed retropie very recently like a month ago.

                  I use ir-picodrive for Megadrive

                  Yes I have the BIOS file but I am confident I did something wrong which caused it to not load in, in retropie

                    You have to unzip the file.

                        Yes, not all emulators playing zip files.

                        lr-picodrive playing SEGA CD roms with only this extentions : .bin .chd .cue .iso .m3u.

                        More information about roms and emulators you can check the RetroPie Docs : https://retropie.org.uk/docs

                                  I have tried it. It is not working :(

                                  Let me tell the problem again:
                                  So usually when you install a ROM you get the system that the rom is made for on the home screen right? Well that is not happening with me. It is not even displaying the system

                                  Pls help me with this issue

                                    Create the folder segacd into the roms folder and add the game here. Also SEGA CD needs bios files, witout them, you can play the games.

                                        Sorry we can't share bios or roms, or share info, links about place were we can find them. It is ilegal and against of the rules of RetroPie Project.

                                        In the RetroPie Docs you will find info abou the bios you need and where to add them.
