@Folly If the hash file states this, it's looking for an .iso or .cue, not a .chd. Do I change the hash file to match the rom name or find a different romset?

The error is pretty clear:

[WARN] --libretro argument "/opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so" is not a file, core name or directory. Ignoring.
...
[ERROR] [Core]: Frontend is built for dynamic libretro cores, but path is not set. Cannot continue.

There is no /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so file, the lr-mess installed core is named mamemess_libretro.so now (has been for a few months).

@mitu Alright. How do I fix please?

[mitu]

@Retro-Arcade-Fan make sure your RetroPie setup script is at the latest version before updating the packages.

[Retro Arcade Fan]

@mitu Ok. I'll back up my card, run the update then re-update lr-mess. Just hate how long it takes. But hopefully that fixes the problem. Thank you.

@Retro-Arcade-Fan

Installing the binary doesn't take long, less than 3 minutes.
Or are you installing from source ?

[Retro Arcade Fan]

@Folly Source :( I'll do Binary. Things I wished I knew before. Thanks Folly.

@mitu Alright. I downloaded a fresh copy of Retropie and put it on a spare card. I fully updated everything. I still see lr-mess. Is it supposed to say mamemess_libretro.so?

@Retro-Arcade-Fan said in Philips CD-I install update?:

I still see lr-mess. Is it supposed to say mamemess_libretro.so?

The name of the package (as it appears in the setup script) is still lr-mess, the filename of the libretro core included is mamemess_libretro.so, installed in the /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess package folder.
