Sega cd Bios not detected

[mitu]

The name of the BIOS files needed by each emulator are listed in the docs. I don't see the US BIOS file for Picodrive in the listing, do you have the file in the BIOS folder ?

[fattiusmaximus]

@mitu i believe these are all the regions correct? if not I also have the other ones as well im copying over games right now but I have the other us one in there too
I believe its us_scd1_9210.bin

For Picodrive, yes - but I don't see it in your listing. Do you have that file available in the BIOS folder ?

[fattiusmaximus]

@mitu yes I cant screenshot it right now because I am copying files over but its in there

[mitu]

Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to your post and the checksum (MD5) of the BIOS files for Picodrive. Make sure the filename is properly capitalized, as specified in the doc page, since Linux is case sensitive.

@mitu thank you for your help, I just did a md5 checksum, it matches and I stopped the upload that file is in there 100%

@mitu and this is the directory, what config files is it asking for when I searched I only found these

It seems to me you manually installed RetroPie from the retropie user, but you copied some configuration file from another installation, where the installation user was pi and the BIOS folder is set accordingly - with the wrong path. I advise you to not mix-and-match configuration files from different installation types, since they lead to inconsistencies like this.

[fattiusmaximus]

im not sure what happened I guess im just going to start over

[mitu]

@fattiusmaximus I suggest you start with the RetroPie image directly, there's no point in using the Lite image and to install manually.
