            git pull origin

            I must be doing something wrong. Or I'm not reading this correctly. I ran all 5 commands and still don't see those 2 emulators under experimental.

              You then need to run ./install-extras.sh and select which modules will be copied to your RP-Setup directory, then they should be available in the Setup script.

                @sleve_mcdichael @Folly @ExarKunIv That worked, thank you. I now see them. Arduous installed fine. But lr-samecdi gives me this error after over an hour:

                  @Retro-Arcade-Fan that's odd since it did install fine for me when I tested before I added it to me repo.

                  I'll look when in I'm front of my pi again

                    What kind of raspberry pi do you use and how much ram does it have ?

                    I will try it on my rpi4-8gb and see if it works.
                    Edit : I worked without any problems

                    On my Apple M1 with Debian11 in UTM I had the same problem as you.
                    Manually compiling worked though, so we have to look further.

                        @Folly ok i tested it on my Pi4 4gb, and it compiled and installed fine. on my end
                        i did see that it does not make a folder for the bios, so i needed to make a folder for it.

                        when i tested a rom, it starts with a gray screen and a popup says that it cant start the game due to missing files, but i dont know what files its missing.

                        i did go into the setting and manually set where to fine the bios, and still same error

                        UPDATE
                        i tried a few different versions of the bios and a few differeent roms, and still nothing. just a gray box and a error popup about missing files

                          Copy cdimono1.zip (or .7z) in (see mame-merged) :
                          /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/same_cdi/bios
                          (Indeed perhaps a good idea to create the directory in the module-script)

                          The bios has to contain (sha1sum filename) :
                          d961de803c89b3d1902d656ceb9ce7c02dccb40a cdi200.rom
                          53360a1f21ddac952e95306ced64186a3fc0b93e cdi220b.rom
                          5d757ab46b8c8fc36361555d978d7af768342d47 cdi220.rom
                          fdf8d78d6a0df4a56b5b963d72eabd39fcec163f zx405037p__cdi_servo_2.1__b43t__llek9215.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7201
                          56d0acd7caad51c7de703247cd6d842b36173079 zx405042p__cdi_slave_2.0__b43t__zzmk9213.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7206

                          That should work.

                            @Folly Any suggestions on the initial install of lr-samecdi for me since I can't seem to install it at all?

                              Not yet,
                              As @ExarKunIv also uses a 4gb rpi4 it's hard to tell what the problem is.
                              I assume you use 32 bit OS, right ?

                              I had the same problem on my Apple M1 running debian11 (aarch64) in UTM.
                              But manually compiling it worked.
                              If you are able to compile it manually, then we can see if that works.

                              instructions are here :

                                @Folly Yes I'm using the 32bit OS. And I'm afraid manually compiling goes beyond my skillset. I don't want to keep bugging you on this. And I don't know what to do with those files on the page you sent.

                                If I wanted to try the original install again via ./install-extras.sh, what would be the cleanest way to do so? Remove any files first?

                                  Fair enough.

                                  And I don't know what to do with those files on the page you sent.

                                  Which file the bios files ?
                                  You need the cdimoni.zip bios file from the mame-merged set and place them in the proper place, otherwise the emulator won't work.

                                  You have to ask @ExarKunIv, I never used that.

                                    what are you trying to do.

                                    i have not updated any of the scripts since yesterday, and the CDi one i have not touched since i put it in my repo.

                                    so if you have it, thats the latest one out right now till @Folly tells me that he has updated his

                                    but if you run

                                    cd ~
                                    cd RetroPie-Extra/
                                    ./update-extras.sh
                                    

                                    it will look for a update, as long as you are running the version with our GUI menu, but since you are messing with the newest scripts i put in it, im going with you have the GUI menu

                                        @WhiteT982 sorry that you are getting a error.
                                        unfortunatly i dont have a x86 to test these on, so your best bet will be to open a issue ticket on the github for that libretrocore. they should be able to help you way more then anything i can do.

                                          Can you please remind me how to update RetroPie-Extras?

                                          cd ~/RetroPie-Extra
                                          
                                          git pull origin
                                          

                                          I've done this and it seemed to work fine, but when I go into RetroPie-Setup none of the new additions appear in the RetroPie-Extra section of "Manage experimental packages". What have I forgotten?

                                          Raspberry Pi 3b and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, both running Retropie 4.7.1 installed from scratch using Raspberry Pi Imager, with wired keyboard, wireless mouse and double arcade joystick attached.
