      I found this in your logs.

      [INFO] [Overrides] core-specific overrides found at /home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/MAME/MAME.cfg

      I probably loads wrong core-specific overrides.
      Try renaming it, so retroarch will not see it.
      Let me know if it works.

        That's quite weird, because I have no such path as /home/pi/.config/, and the MAME.CFG file at /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config/MAME/ has no reference to the CD-i in it :o

          Does this mean the next time I update LR-MESS it's going to break

          I'm really confused. I thought MAME and MESS were all one app now?

            No, it's still separated, at least for RetroPie, in :
            lr-mame (arcade only) (mame_libretro.so)
            lr-mess (non-arcade only) (mamemess_libretro.so)

              That's quite weird, because I have no such path as /home/pi/.config/

              It's a hidden directory, linked to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config

              , and the MAME.CFG file at /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config/MAME/ has no reference to the CD-i in it :o

              You probably used Valerino's fork once so your hidden directory is probably linked to :
              /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config

              The MAME.cfg overides other configs that need to be loaded by default.
              I think that your MAME.cfg overrides important setting of the other configs that need to be loaded in order to get it working correctly.
              Not sure why you have it, I don't have it.

              Have you tried renaming it temporarily to test if it works when you do so ?

              In the meantime I will check your log.

              edit:
              I can't find suspicious things in your log but I keep finding it strange.

                If the renaming doesn't help then we are on a dead end.

                Btw. did same_cdi work ?
                Basically it's lr-mess but with only the cdimono1 driver and some patches.
                So the speed of same_cdi will be somewhat the same as lr-mess.

                  @Folly lr-same_cdi works, but runs much worse than MESS, slow with very distorted sound. Setting the overclock helps, but only partially.

                  Weirdly, I've just got Valerino's version (yes, it was him, thanks :D) working again by pasting an old backup line into EMULATORS.CFG. The only problem with it is the annoying LCD screen at the top. Do you know what the commandline option to disable it is? I can't find anything in either the Retroarch or MESS options menus.

                        Too bad, we tried.
                        I really have no idea.

                              On a totally unrelated note, I'm wondering if anyone has installed and played the Amstrad GX4000 and noticed that the games don't take up the full real estate of the screen - like I get black bars above, below, left, and right. Before I mess around with scaling to try to fix it, is there some obvious thing I'm missing that would make it display correctly?

                              Short answer: no. The only thing you can do is use custom video settings for each game, because the Amstrad had loads of different video modes with different resolutions.

                              These are my default settings that give a decent display area for most games without making the Retroarch menus totally unusable:

                              aspect_ratio_index = "23"

custom_viewport_x = "188"
custom_viewport_y = "-165"
custom_viewport_width = "1536"
custom_viewport_height = "1360"

                              but you'll need to adjust those for a lot of other games.

                              Thanks for this. I had noticed that the amount of blank space does seem to vary game-by-game, I didn't know that was a thing on any gaming system!

                                @Folly BTW is there an option to enable the Digital Video Cartridge? About 50% of games seem to need it.

                                  No.
                                  As far as I know the developers of lr-same_cdi had help from the guy who made the first Philips CDI emulator for windows which did support DVC.
                                  So hopefully he will help in the future in the development of that.

                                    @Folly (and others of course)......a little off-topic but related.

                                    I took all of the work done here and in the other related posts and migrated this same logic to a Windows PC based setup.

                                    I've created an AutoHotKey script (compiled into an exe file) that will launch Retroarch and pass additional parameters for the MESS based systems.

                                    Here's a link to my Github for it. There's a README with examples, an already compiled exe in the "release" section as well as the source AHK script.

                                    You can read the AHK script and see what is currently implemented for those MESS systems that need a little bit of additional things added to the *.cmd file used by MESS.

                                    Hope someone finds this useful. I have it working great using Attract Mode and EmulationStation on my PC. Any gaming front-end will work though.

                                        @Folly The 440 script, the one before the last one that has Hamsters and other games working...do you think that should be released to a broader public as a binary?
                                        Me thinks so :D

                                        In the future lies the cd and hard drive stuff...

                                        but for now, do you think a keyboard mapper to joypad could be done for the 440 version of the emulator? They seem to work well with the c64 and zxspectrum where you select keyboard, but you can use the analog selection below it and remap the keys to the joypad for individual games. It would be great to use a joypad for the archimedes.

                                          Not sure what you mean by this, for those who want it's already available using this project.

                                          Right now I am busy with the scraper stuff.
                                          If somehow I find it useful to do some tests again I will try it again.
                                          But since it didn't work on the other drivers, chances are that it will have the same result.
                                          So I don't want to waste my time on something that probably doesn't work, do you get it ?

                                          I think there are possibilities, just find the best solution for yourself.

                                            @Folly How do you switch disks in the Archimedes Emulator again? I don't see an option in the retroach menu...was it one of the function keys? I can't recall. The fuction keys seem to be taken over by MAME or hotkeys in the 440 version of the archimedes emulator.
                                            Is it something where i have turn focus on and then use a function key to change a disk. I totally forgot.
