      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.

                                          I want to make these changes in 253.11 for matching next system drivers with better names :

                                          Detect as sega32 (cartridge only):
                                          Driver 32x (Genesis with 32X (USA, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                                          Driver 32xe (Mega Drive with 32X (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                                          Driver 32xj (Mega Drive with 32X (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade

                                          Detect as sega32-cd (cdrom and cartridge):
                                          Driver 32x_mcd (Mega-CD with 32X (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                                          Driver 32x_mcdj (Mega-CD with 32X (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                                          Driver 32x_scd (Sega CD with 32X (USA, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                                          (sega32-cd isn't in the cygnus-blue-flames theme yet !)

                                          Detect as segacd (cdrom and cartridge):
                                          Driver megacd (Mega-CD (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                                          Driver megacd2 (Mega-CD 2 (Europe, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                                          Driver megacd2j (Mega-CD 2 (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                                          Driver megacda (Mega-CD (Asia, PAL)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade
                                          Driver megacdj (Mega-CD (Japan, NTSC)): @game_console@home_videogame@lightgun@non-arcade

                                          You see that all drivers have no @good tag so they can have issues.
                                          I have tested megacd2 ok with 1 game.

                                          Are you comfortable with detecting them as these RetroPie names ?

                                            I installed them with your script and pce-cd works well but NeoCd doesn't . The problem seems to be my BIOS. I'll try to found another neocdz.zip file
