    pcecd

    Should not be in there.
    You use the latest mame, right ?

      The speed is very good on a PI4 but without autoframeskip.
      I recommend:

      mame-system-pcecd-cdrm = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c  -ui_active pce cdsys -cdrm %ROM%"

        Is the speed better with that bios ?

        Btw. I can add that line too if needed, What do you think ?

          My bad for pcecd, I did a cut and paste from my previous post , but it's not in my real command line. I modified my post.

            Another mistake ... Oh my god!
            No it's scdsys

            Sorry. So ... the good line is:

            mame-system-pcecd-cdrm = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c  -ui_active pce scdsys -cdrm %ROM%"
            

            NEW EDIT: It works with all .chd files, regardless of the name used

                We should try the same thing with NEOGEO CD

                    There are separate drivers for them :
                    Driver neocd (Neo-Geo CD (NTSC?)): @game_console@home_videogame@non-arcade
                    Driver neocdz (Neo-Geo CDZ (US)): @game_console@good@home_videogame@non-arcade
                    Driver neocdzj (Neo-Geo CDZ (Japan)): @game_console@good@home_videogame@non-arcade

                    Seems we should try neocdz and neocdzj as they marked as good.

                      Got the first file already running:
                      Sonic Wings 3 ~ Aero Fighters 3 (Japan) (En,Ja).chd (chd_neogeocd romset)
                      You need neocdz.zip and perhaps neogeo.zip

                      neocdz is not yet detected as a retropie system name so it will just install as neocdz.
                      Perhaps I have to add some kind of recognition so it's recognised as, for example, neocd.

                        I had a look at our cygnus-blue-flames theme and found the next directories :
                        -> pce-cd
                        -> neogeo-cd

                        I will change the script so :

                        • "pcecd"(not a real driver) will install as pce-cd
                        • neocd,neocdz and neocdj will install as neogeo-cd

                        Done, all updated to 253.10

                          Nice!, I'll try your script today . Is It in the Extra section?
                          The last "CD add on" to try could be Megadrive/Genesis CD

                            pce-cd is in the extra.
                            neocd,neocdz and neocdzj are just regular system drivers, so they are in the default.

                              I want to make these changes in 253.11 for matching next system drivers with better names :

                              Detect as sega32 (cartridge only):
                              Driver 32x (Genesis with 32X (USA, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                              Driver 32xe (Mega Drive with 32X (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                              Driver 32xj (Mega Drive with 32X (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade

                              Detect as sega32-cd (cdrom and cartridge):
                              Driver 32x_mcd (Mega-CD with 32X (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                              Driver 32x_mcdj (Mega-CD with 32X (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                              Driver 32x_scd (Sega CD with 32X (USA, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                              (sega32-cd isn't in the cygnus-blue-flames theme yet !)

                              Detect as segacd (cdrom and cartridge):
                              Driver megacd (Mega-CD (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                              Driver megacd2 (Mega-CD 2 (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                              Driver megacd2j (Mega-CD 2 (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                              Driver megacda (Mega-CD (Asia, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                              Driver megacdj (Mega-CD (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade

                              You see that all drivers have no @good tag so they can have issues.
                              I have tested megacd2 ok with 1 game.

                              Are you comfortable with detecting them as these RetroPie names ?

                                I installed them with your script and pce-cd works well but NeoCd doesn't . The problem seems to be my BIOS. I'll try to found another neocdz.zip file

                                  Too many options! , we should forget it . The actual lr- options in Retropie seem to be better. Are you agree?

                                    I agree for these Sega CD/Mega CD/Genesis CD systems there are better options in RetroPie.

                                    Indeed quite some options but basically it comes down to a few drivers.
                                    Somehow I need to add recognition otherwise they will be installed somehow in the wrong place, when installed.
                                    So I still want to add this recognition.
                                    I think the sorting will be a good choice once implemented.

                                    Edit : updated to 253.11

                                        How is it going with the other systems ?

                                        PCE-CD and NEO-CD working well now. I tried also your new script with NES and it works well!

                                          I tried also your new script

                                          Which one do you use now ?
