jblenkle Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 OK, I am having some difficulty with a device I just obtained (it was given to me). I know nothing about Rasberry Pi's or the RetroArch scene. This device is running RetrOrangePi and while everything is working in general terms, there is one problem. When I try to play a ColecoVision game, it boots to MSX. I know BlueMSX needs to be configured to run ColecoVision, but I have no idea how to configure it within this framework. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Please treat me like I'm stupid because when it comes to this thing...I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Probably a command line switch. Here's the documentation for bluemsx command line switches. http://www.msxblue.com/manual/commandlineargs_c.htm Somewhere there's a script with the command that launches bluemsx with the cartridge rom image. That's likely where you add the machine selection switch. Edited April 30, 2020 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes..that's a clue... it's probably this switch - /machine <"name"> where "name" is "COL - Colecovision" but I have no idea where to put it. I've gone through the .cfg files and don't see any existing lines that specify a machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it goes in here someplace, but I don't know where or how to put it in there: coleco = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -v -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/coleco/coleco.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg %ROM%" default = "lr-bluemsx" lr-bluemsx = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-bluemsx/bluemsx_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg %ROM%" lr-mess2016 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess2016/mess2016_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg %ROM%" advmess = "/opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/bin/advmess coleco -cart %ROM%" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 It looks like it's using bluemsx through retroarch so that command documentation might not apply. Why don't you try advmess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
