      Hi,

      I’m struggling to get sega 32x roms to load.
      They used to, now they don’t. I have no idea when it stopped working, I’ve done loads recently to the setup, bezel project, scraping, lightgun setup, updated setup script and emulators etc.
      Everything works except 32x, it pushes back to the game list in emulation station.
      I’ve un-installed lr-picodrive, re-installed from binary, un-installed, re-installed from source. I have put BIOS files in /home/pi/retropie/BIOS/ (bios_CD_E.bin, bios_CD_J.bin, bios_CD_U.bin, eu_mcd1_9210.bin, jp_mcd1_9112.bin and us_scd1_9210.bin) _ wan't sure if they were needed but done anyway. Nothing seems to work. I’ve included a verbose log of what happens when I try to run a rom.

      [link text](<iframe src="https://pastebin.com/embed_iframe/Xhry4Ke5" style="border:none;width:100%"></iframe>)

      Any help very appreciated.

          Thanks for your reply and no problem. This is the contents of that file:

          input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/GameBezels/Sega32X/NFL Quarterback Club (World).cfg"

          The contents of that .cfg file mentioned are below:

          overlays = 1

          overlay0_overlay = "NFL Quarterback Club (World).png"

          overlay0_full_screen = true

          overlay0_descs = 0

            @fadangalini thank you. that seems fine (though you might want to try temporarily renaming the file so it doesn't get picked up, just to test)

            i just tried it on my setup and working fine here. can you please supply all the relevant config files:
            /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
            /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg (the picodrive lines, specifically)
            /opt/retropie/configs/sega32x/retroarch.cfg

              Thanks, I'll rename and try.

              Here are the configs you asked for:

              /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg:
              https://pastebin.com/embed_iframe/iZXFmrHG

              /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg:
              There doesn't look like there are any picodrive entries... so here's the whole thing.

                looking at your sega32x/retroarch.cfg, i think i understand why - it's a non-default one (the default one should be much shorter) and is overwriting the setting in /all/retroarch.cfg that would cause it use the default core-options cfg.

                rename
                /opt/retropie/configs/sega32x/retroarch.cfg
                to
                /opt/retropie/configs/sega32x/retroarch.cfg.bak
                and look for the default file in the same directory, called retroarch.cfg.rp-dist, and rename that to retroarch.cfg. this may fix your problem.

                  @dankcushions Thanks, I'm out now for a few hours but will give it go when I get home again and let you know. Cheers.

                    @dankcushions Thank you, legend. It was the retroarch.cfg file. Set to the default and the roms loaded fine. I noticed that the .cfg file is slightly different to what I'm used to, on/off sliders instead of "on' and "off" text.

                    Thanks for your help, spot on!

                        @dankcushions Haha. More nostalgia really, saved all my pocket money for one as a kid, but only ever had Doom on it!

                          @fadangalini had one as a kid as well. Virtua racing and Virtua fighter are worth checking out.
