This is an update on running P2000T using the m2000 emulator by Marcel de Kogel.
(as described in the first post)

I made a module-script for it :

Place it in your RetroPie-Setup folder with :

wget -nv -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/p2000t.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/emulators/p2000t.sh

Then :

Install the module-script inside your RetroPie-Setup Place the cas files in : /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/p2000t When booting a .cas, select m2000 as the emulator

Here is some explanation on what the module-script does to get this emulator working properly :

It installs xorg, matchbox-window-manager and alsa-oss in needed It gets the emulator source code of m2000 by Marcel de Kogel It patches the X.c file : adding 24 Bits Per Pixel changing video mode 1 to 640x480 It makes a boot-script so m2000 runs in lightweight X enviroment (matchbox-window-manager) and uses oss audio simulation (aoss) to get proper sound It adds the default video mode of 640x480@75hz to /opt/retropie/configs/all/videomodes.cfg"
If it doesn't work for you, then select a better 640x480 video-mode or framebuffer-mode in the boot-menu It installs everything

Hopefully more people will enjoy this.

Hi,

A question for you. How well does advmess emulate philips CDI ?

My answer to your question:
I use Arcadia because this directory is automatically created when lr-mess is installed, so then there was no need to implement this in my script (no need to add cdimono1 as a system in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg) . Basically if the system cdimono1 is not in the es_system.cfg, software will not show up in emulationstation, that's the reason why.

Actually this script was made to bundle all the knowledge found on the internet to make CDI working without having to make an enormous effort every time to get it working.

The second goal should be to implement the knowledge in an official retropie-script. In this stage the rom-directory should be made like you said.
