@shavecat You need to post the contents of runcommand.log with verbose logging enabled.

That's not a Verbose log. Enable verbose logging and then look into the log to see the error. Post it on pastebin.com.

@mitu
"When launching Libretro cores (those prefixed by lr-) the Runcommand launch menu presents the option to Launch with verbose logging. This outputs more information to the log file found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log which is useful, and often necessary, when diagnosing problems. Once the game is exited, the log file can be downloaded via SFTP or viewed directly via the command line.

Again, this is not a verbose log.

@mitu

I think it's described pretty well in the docs - in the link posted by me or other posters. Just start the game by choosing the 'Launch with verbose logging' from the runcommand launch menu.

Either a bad .chd file or missing BIOS files - which should match what's described in https://github.com/libretro/neocd_libretro. Your SYSTEM folder is borked though, instead of pointing to the BIOS folder as it's configured in RetroPie, it points to the ROMs folder - you probably reset the RetroArch's configuration file or messed up the configuration when you created a separate system for NeoGeto CD.

@mitu
Okay thanks

can i uninstall and install retrorach and it will fix it ?

No, that's not how it works.

shavecat

@mitu
didnt think so.
will give it a try with the bios system and chd thanks :)/

Got it working was needed to change in the retroach menu the bios select .
thanks a lot @mitu ! :)

Why isn't neogeo cd in a separate folder from Neogeo by default? Just curious.

simpleethat

@Unknown I believe because it's an extremely recent addition to the package and the latest release for Pi4 is still beta

Darksavior

@Unknown Personal decision I suppose. The same reason why there isn't a tg16/pce-cd system folder. You're free to make them yourself. It's what I did.

Zering

Not to mention the fact that the Neo Geo CD catalogue has very few exclusives when compared to the original Neo Geo, I imagine it just makes sense to just put them all together.

Unknown

@Zering Yeah, but it would be simpler than having to select the correct emulator for each cd rom.
