ROMS

Accepted File Extensions: .smd .bin .md .iso

Place your Sega CD ROMS (.bin AND .cue) in

\.emulationstation\roms\segacd

If you don't have the corresponding .cue file in the same folder as your .bin file, your game may not have sound.

BIOS

The BIOS filename is: us_scd1_9210.bin

For the Genesis-Plus-GX core you need to rename the US bios above to: bios_CD_U.bin

Place this BIOS file in

\.emulationstation\systems\retroarch\content

BIOS files that may also work are: eu_mcd1_9210.bin, jp_mcd1_9112.bin (Europe and Japan respectively)
