      Tested already many files from the chd_pcecd romset.
      And Buster Bros. (USA) from the redump.pce.revival works too.
      Up til now many work ;-)

      I hope the speed is ok on the pi4, can't test right now.

        moving back to my Debian 11 VM.

        Sounds like a good idea (though I never used pure debain so far), i also encountered some trouble whence using shared folders now: seem to be working right after enabling 'em, but not anymore after a reboot/restart (need to be deactivated, all FS traces removed from the guest (media target folders) and then can be enabled again). Guess the OpenVMware-Tools need some overhaul in regards to nowadays Ubuntu. But for me setting up a new vm has has to wait 'till next week, as i am currently abroad.

          We can make threads of both in general discussion and discuss installation and issues we face.
          Let's see next week or so.

                Looks like No-intro roms (nointro-merged) are just regular pce files and no cd-rom files.

                  It works with:

                  mame-system-pcecd-cdrm-autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c -autoframeskip -ui_active pce scdsys -cdrm %ROM%"
                  

                  I added scdsys in my command line. It was my error.

                    You use the latest mame, right ?

                      The speed is very good on a PI4 but without autoframeskip.
                      I recommend:

                      mame-system-pcecd-cdrm = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c  -ui_active pce cdsys -cdrm %ROM%"

                        Is the speed better with that bios ?

                        Btw. I can add that line too if needed, What do you think ?

                          My bad for pcecd, I did a cut and paste from my previous post , but it's not in my real command line. I modified my post.

                            Another mistake ... Oh my god!
                            No it's scdsys

                            Sorry. So ... the good line is:

                            mame-system-pcecd-cdrm = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c  -ui_active pce scdsys -cdrm %ROM%"
                            

                            NEW EDIT: It works with all .chd files, regardless of the name used

                                We should try the same thing with NEOGEO CD

                                    There are separate drivers for them :
                                    Driver neocd (Neo-Geo CD (NTSC?)): @game_console@home_videogame@non-arcade
                                    Driver neocdz (Neo-Geo CDZ (US)): @game_console@good@home_videogame@non-arcade
                                    Driver neocdzj (Neo-Geo CDZ (Japan)): @game_console@good@home_videogame@non-arcade

                                    Seems we should try neocdz and neocdzj as they marked as good.

                                      Got the first file already running:
                                      Sonic Wings 3 ~ Aero Fighters 3 (Japan) (En,Ja).chd (chd_neogeocd romset)
                                      You need neocdz.zip and perhaps neogeo.zip

                                      neocdz is not yet detected as a retropie system name so it will just install as neocdz.
                                      Perhaps I have to add some kind of recognition so it's recognised as, for example, neocd.

                                        I had a look at our cygnus-blue-flames theme and found the next directories :
                                        -> pce-cd
                                        -> neogeo-cd

                                        I will change the script so :

                                        • "pcecd"(not a real driver) will install as pce-cd
                                        • neocd,neocdz and neocdj will install as neogeo-cd

                                        Done, all updated to 253.10

                                          Nice!, I'll try your script today . Is It in the Extra section?
                                          The last "CD add on" to try could be Megadrive/Genesis CD

                                            pce-cd is in the extra.
                                            neocd,neocdz and neocdzj are just regular system drivers, so they are in the default.
