      My R+R worked OOB.
      It's an XDF file.

      Don't know wat that is.

        @Folly Oh. I converted it because the documentation clearly stated lr-px68k only read .dim and .m3u well.
        Good to know it works.
        I'll write up a thread tonight!

          I run my files directly from the Desktop with my own script. So I am not bounded by extensions. If you run it from emulationstation .xdf is not there in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg . So you have to add that.

          <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/x68000</path>
          <extension>.dim .hdf .hdm .2hd .d88 .m3u .DIM .HDF .HDM .2HD .D88 .M3U</extension>

            @Folly Adding it will make it appear in ES sure, but how could I check to see that the emulator is capable of using those files?

              Well it should run then, i think. :-)

              My file contains also a .hdf .hdm. Tried the .hdf, but it seems like it will also load a floppy. not sure how this works.

                  X68000 definitely works in ES with XDF, I thought it might it not but it was fine on mine.

                    How exactly did you attempt to use the roms?
                    I assume lr-bluemsx would be looking for those roms in a very particular place.

                      Placed them in the BIOS directory together with the others.

                        @Folly I'm assuming that's where bluemsx on your PC looks for those roms?

                          The file I presumed it would be the one, is just an arabic msx type :

                          $ grep -r "SWP.rom"
                          MSX2 - Al Alamiah AX-350/config.ini:0 2 2 4 42 "Machines/MSX2 - Al Alamiah AX-350/AX350SWP.rom" ""
                          MSX2 - Al Alamiah AX-370/config.ini:0 2 2 4 20 "Machines/MSX2 - Al Alamiah AX-370/AX370SWP.rom" ""
                          MSX2 - Arabic/config.ini:0 2 2 4 42 "Machines/Shared Roms/SWP.rom" ""
                          

                          It was a nice try/idea. But I don't think it's the solution.

                            @Folly Should we maybe see about bringing the issue to the attention of the core developers?

                              That would be a good idea.

                                  @Folly I'm not sure what you mean. Could you send a screenshot?

                                      @Folly I think I had that once because the lr core looked for the bios in the wrong place.
                                      If it's not then I honestly don't know!

                                        Others work fine. Perhaps they just don't work then.

                                          .2d files was it? I'll see if I have any.

                                          Edit : Just loaded 177.2d
                                          It's running. Maybe one of your bios is wrong?

                                            Will have look at it tomorrow.
                                            Indeed i saw 2 different turbo files.
                                            Thanks.
