@Helm619 You didn't add the info requested - there's no need to 'agree' to anything. Did you read the topic in the link I posted ?

@Helm619
Try to install a new system from retropie setup.
From the docs :
''The RetroPie-Setup script will automatically generate this config file alphabetically when you install any new system''

By the way, you don't have to do this to play neogeo cd games.

Neogeo-CD and PS2 these two systems that I cannot emulate on raspberry pi 5.
Otherwise Wii and GameCube work very well.
Despite controller configuration problems and some buggy ROM files. I am interested if you can give me the TIPS to make the Neogeo CD work. Thank you very much ☺️

You can play neogeocd games with two emulatros:

1. lr-fbneo-neocd
2. lr-neocd

For lr-fbneo-neocd :

1. Put the bios files [ neocdz.zip , neogeo.zip] into the BIOS/fbneo folder.
2. Put the neogeocd games into the neogeo folder.
3. Launch the game and choose from runcommand menu the lr-fbneo-neocd emulator.

Important instructions about this emulator: https://docs.libretro.com/library/fbneo/#how-do-i-launch-a-neogeo-cd-game

For lr-neocd

1. Install lr-neocd from experimental packages of retropie-setup
2. Create in the Bios, a folder, with name neocd (Bios/neocd) and add the bios files [ neocdz.zip , neogeo.zip]
3. Launch the game and choose from runcommand menu the lr-neocd emulator.

Hello , that’s work good I was put the ROM files NeogeoCD in the wrong folder. That’s why it doesn’t work. But it may it will work better with two distinct menu.
