      @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.

                              Sharp X1 is working.
                              But compilation .2d disks hang in "disk menu", any ideas ?

                                @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?
