I just simply use the syscard3.pce bios and like I said before I have them patched to bypass the bios screen anyways. Googer 2016-08-30 16:58:58 UTC #8 I owned a TurboGrafx-16 with CD add-on, and later on got the Super CD card so I could play Super CD games on it (actually I still do; it’s just not hooked up at this point in time) so I know.

A BIOS file is only needed to play CD-based games.

Several BIOS are supported, but syscard3.pce is the most compatible with games.

Controls

lr-beetle-pce-fast and lr-beetle-supergrafx utilise Retroarch configurations

Add custom retroarch controls to the retroarch.cfg file in

Syscard3.pce Emuparadise

For more information on custom RetroArch controls see: RetroArch Configuration

PC Engine CD

It is important that the image file (usually .bin) and the CUE file (.cue) match.

CUE files are just text files containing a description of the CD. If you have files named like:

then ensure the first line of the CUE file contains:

Syscard3.pce Jp Download

Any of the following are wrong and will not work:

Advanced Configuration

Switching Emulation Station to the TurboGrafx-16 logo:

If you are from the United States it is likely that you had the TurboGrafx-16 rather than the PC Engine. If you want EmulationStation to show the TurboGrafx-16 graphics instead of PC Engine then you should create a file /opt/retropie/configs/all/platforms.cfg with the following contents (note this requires at least v4.1.6 of the RetroPie-Setup script).

Once this is done, please update any of the currently installed PC Engine emulators from RetroPie-Setup and Emulation Station will now use the TurboGrafx-16 logo.
