      I have tried with the BIOSes and the Hash file for MAME 0.223 On my Pi4. I also tried for other systems (ChannelF, Astrocade, etc.). Mame 0.223 works fine for all systems except CDI. I recreated a .chd with a dummy because of the changes in the Hash file and nothing works.

            No. I got an old backup and I run It with an old MAME version.

              Today I got it working again with the new lr-mess. (through valerino's script)
              Though we have to dig deep to find what's cousing the problem here.
              It seems a combination problem that has to do with the :

              • BIOS;
              • commandline;
              • lr-mess version;
              • core options;
                Probably the new lr-mess wants to know the system "cdimono1" and the type of rom "-cdrm". (so the old way still does not work)

              This is how i got it working again:
              I used @valerino 's Retropie fork from https://github.com/valerino/RetroPie-Setup
              Here is his post : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/25576/new-scriptmodules-lr-vice-xvic-gsplus-proper-lr-mess-integration

              (earlier I already installed the lr-mess binary with the original RetroPie-Setup)
              I replaced the original RetroPie-Setup directory with valerinos's fork.
              Then I installed "lr-mess-cdi" from the experimental packages.
              You can only use "source" that will install the system with some scripts and configs (it installs very fast)
              Placed my "cdimono1.zip" in the BIOS directory.
              This file contains :
              cdi200.rom
              cdi220b.rom
              cdi220.rom
              zx405037p__cdi_servo_2.1__b43t__llek9215.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7201
              zx405042p__cdi_slave_2.0__b43t__zzmk9213.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7206
              (with only the first 3 files it will not work !, then i got initializing !)
              Placed my game-rom in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/cdimono1
              Then I could run the longnamed .chd "arcade classics (1996)(namco - philips)(eu)[!][compilation].chd"
              I edited the configs manually to get mouse and joystick working again in fullscreen.
              The configs now in a diffent place.
              /opt/retropie/configs/cdimono1

              It's still "Work In Progress"

                @Folly said in CD-I does not want to load after updating Retropie:

                cdi200.rom
                cdi220b.rom
                cdi220.rom
                zx405037p__cdi_servo_2.1__b43t__llek9215.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7201
                zx405042p__cdi_slave_2.0__b43t__zzmk9213.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7206

                So it looks like it's a 'bios' issue, the error message reported previously was complaining about some missing roms - which seem to be included in your cdimono1.zip file.

                  Indeed , for the "new lr-mess" in cdimono1.zip we need to add :
                  zx405037p__cdi_servo_2.1__b43t__llek9215.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7201
                  zx405042p__cdi_slave_2.0__b43t__zzmk9213.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7206
                  (These files can be taken from the cdi910 file)

                  The above bios, together with valerino's script can be a solution to this problem.

                  But trying the "new lr-mess" the old way from "arcadia" with :
                  /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcadia/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcadia/Philips_CD-I/cdimono1/arcadecl.bin"

                  still gives :
                  .
                  .
                  [libretro INFO] Starting game:cdimono1
                  [libretro ERROR] Error parsing game path: cdimono1
                  [libretro ERROR] Error parsing system name: cdimono1
                  [libretro ERROR] Error parsing parent path: cdimono1
                  [libretro INFO] Game name: cdimono1, Game description: CD-i (Mono-I) (PAL)

                  .
                  .
                  segmentation error

                  Here it uses the 'mame_softlists_auto_media = "enabled"' and 'mame_softlists_enable = "enabled"' so the shornamed file maches the game driver. It seems that it cannot find the right game driver as it did with the "old lr-mess"

                  So in this way the the issue is not yet solved.

                    Could you explain what changes you had to make here?

                      I enabled the mouse (will only work if emulationstation is run from the cli (boot into cli).
                      Added joystick buttons.
                      Removed the black CDI lcd within the screen.
                      Turned off the qui.

                      Placed my configs here :
                      https://github.com/FollyMaddy/retropie-philips-cdi-tools/tree/master/configs

                      Make a backup of your old files and copy them to /opt/retropie/configs/cdimono1

                      I have bundeled all information, about the configs, in my script (not working at the moment with the "new lr-mess") :
                      https://github.com/FollyMaddy/retropie-philips-cdi-tools/blob/master/retropie_philips_cdi_setup.sh
                      You can read that if you want.
                      Though the directory's are different, the info of the configs are essentially the same.

                        It seems that for the es-theme-carbon, cdimono1 does not exist.
                        So I created my own.
                        Feel free to use this :

                        https://github.com/FollyMaddy/retropie-philips-cdi-tools/tree/master/es-theme-carbon

                        Copy it to /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/

                          I ended up creating my own theme for snes-mini for it (and several other missing systems), but thanks, I'm sure someone else will appreciate it.

                              Thanks for posting this. First I've read anywhere that those two "extra" files were required in the cdmono1 BIOS.

                              I have it working, however, what do you mean by getting the mouse working by booting ES into the cli? How do I do that on a consistent game for game basis. Meaning... exit one game, start another.

                              I've never booted into cli before.

                              Thanks again,
                              JR

                                Well, I run my ES from the Desktop enviroment, so I can access my files directly.
                                Without the need of using SSH, filezilla or boot my roms without ES.

                                By CLI (Command Line Interface), I mean boot into the Terminal.
                                If you have the normal Retropie image. The pi will automatically boot into the CLI and start ES automatically.
                                So than, if your mouse configuration is good, your mouse will work.

                                How do I do that on a consistent game for game basis. Meaning... exit one game, start another.
                                I've never booted into cli before.

                                You can just run your rom from ES, Escape, and boot another rom from ES.

                                    @Folly Yes, thank you! But I am not all that proficient with booting from CLI. I have Retropie set up with a MegaPi case from Retroflag, so it's more or less select game and go. I'm trying to keep it really simple.

                                    Hopefully there will be adjustment made to lr-mess that fix the mouse issues in CD-i as well as the Apple emulators.

                                      I think you can wait a long time then, I don't see any progress right now.

                                      Well, forget about the CLI.

                                      I think you are good to go with your OS.
                                      If not, you are at least able to stop the drifting.

                                      You can try this first simple step (enable your mouse) :

                                      • run a cd-i game
                                      • press F1 (go into the Retroarch menu)
                                        (navigate with cursors, z(back) and x(forward))
                                      • go to "options"
                                      • go to "Enable in-game mouse" to "On" (use x to set it to On)
                                      • press F1 again to get back to your game
                                      • escape the game
                                      • restart the game

                                      If all is good, the pointer will not drift and you will be able to move it with your mouse.

                                      (mouse buttons will likely still not work, or only 1 will work)
