      Very good to all, it is a pleasure !, I just installed the last image of Retropie 4.6, on my Raspberry pi 3, I had the intention of using an external CD ROM reader, since the compatibility with external reader is indicated in its news , to say that also externally powered, is not the problem, I have noticed that I am not offered any option anywhere to access it, in some video I had seen that in the Retroarch menu it offered you the option LOAD DISC and DUMP DISC, but in the image that I have installed this option is not offered to me, my question is, is Raspberry pi 3 not compatible with the CD Rom connection, or am I doing something wrong? Please I beg you, if anyone could explain all this to me, and if it were the case how to put it into operation, there is no information on this or I have not been able to find it, thank you very much in advance!

        @Blackhero How are you starting RetroArch ? AFAIK, you need to start with a Disc enabled libretro core for the options to be available. This includes SegaCD, PCEngine-CD, 3DO and Saturn for the PI.
        You should start a game in one of these systems and then check if the disk menus (LOAD/DUMP) show up.
