      I have setup retropie several times, now I'm trying to do it in a RasPi Zero W. I installed both MiniVMac and Basilisk II from the setup menu. Then followed the RetroPie Wiki:
      https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup

      Both emulators, upon start, can't find the ROM file. I'm using in both cases a working ROM from my mac version (vMac.ROM & Performa.ROM)
      For Basilisk II the ROM is renamed "mac.rom" and placed in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/macintosh
      For MinivMac is called "vMac.ROM" and placed in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS.

      Both emulators give me the ROM error. again, these roms work on mac emulators. I suspect there's another place that the emulators look for the ROMs. Any guidance will be appreciated.
