Emulators: lr-genesis-plus-gx, lr-picodrive

Genesis-Plus-GX is recommended for the Pi 2/3 as it has better accuracy.

ROMS

Accepted File Extensions: ** .cue .bin .iso**
Note: .bin files wont be displayed within Emulation Station, they will be referenced via the .cue.

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

/home/pi/RetroPie/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.

Controls

lr-picodrive and lr-genesis-plus-gx utilise RetroArch configurations

Add custom retroarch controls to the retroarch.cfg file in

/opt/retropie/configs/segacd/retroarch.cfg

For more information on custom RetroArch controls see: RetroArch Configuration

Configuring a 6 button controller

First you need to tell retroarch to use 6 buttons, because the default is to use 3.

lr-picodrive

Launch a Sega CD game and go to the Retroarch menu (default mapping: select + x). Go to Quick Menu -> Core Options and set the two input devices to 6 button pad. Then exit the Retroarch menu. Once you quit the game, the configuration will be saved within the retroarch-core-options.cfg file under /opt/retropie/configs/all. You do not need to edit this file. These core options will also take affect on any other system which you may use lr-picodrive for (eg. Sega 32X, Sega Megadrive).

lr-genesis-plus-gx

There are two ways to achieve this:

Option 1

You can edit the file /opt/retropie/configs/segacd/retroarch.cfg and add in the following:

input_libretro_device_p1 = "513"
input_libretro_device_p2 = "513"

This will set the controller type to a 6 button pad, and will reload this configuration every time the emulator is launched.

Option 2

You can save a Core Remap File which reloads every time the emulator is launched:

Go to the Retroarch menu (default mapping: select + x). Go to Quick Menu -> Core Input Options and set the User 1 and User 2 Device Type to be MD Joypad 6 Button.

Scroll down on the same page and select Save Core Remap File. This will save a core remap file (.rmp) to a folder called "Genesis Plus GX" in the /opt/retropie/configs/segacd folder. By default this remap file will load every time the emulator is launched.
