Is There a Way to Select Which BIOS Loads for CD?

Unread post by toaks »

I know you can select the bios for the cart systems but is there a way to select which one loads for the CD? I know there isn't really a need to use anything but the Unibios, but I like the bootup sequence on the original NeoCD better than the Unibios. Would just be cool to be able to select your preferred bios.

I thought you could just set this option --> https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/NeoGeo_ ... eo.sv#L285 in the menu and it will select the correct one?

Yeah this seems to be the case for me, it just applies to both cartridge and CD games. I think OP is asking if there's a way to have cartridges load one 'type' of BIOS (Unibios) and another for CD (Original). I don't think that exists currently.

OP could always try leaving the core on Unibios and renaming the 'uni-bioscd.rom' file to something else, because the core will fall back to the Original ROM if Unibios isn't found for that system type. (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... 1235-L1244)

Can always just copy the original CD BIOS over the UNIBIOS one.
