        @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?

        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 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?

                                        Indeed it seems a long time ago.

                                        But a few moths ago the libretro cores were wiped from github.
                                        So they restored old backups.
                                        Everything is behind now.

                                        Last commit was from 2 april 2020. So it's still maintained.

                                          @AdamBeGood @Folly Just found this awesome game for the X68000 : R+R

                                          It's very hard to find, and you'll need to use a piece of software called Virtual Floppy Image Converter to convert your file into .dim, but it's great fun. It's as fast as Chourensha but it plays like Rude Breaker horizontally.

                                          I know this is off topic now, but fun exclusive (I think) X68000 games that I've found so far are:

                                          • Die Bahnwelt - Top Down Dungeon Shooter, with RPG bits
                                          • Knight Arms - Space Harrier-alike and side-scrolling shooter
                                          • Metal Sight - Space Harrier-alike, it was in fashion then :p
                                          • Zugya - Top Down Wrap-around Shooter

                                          I can't get Neural Gear to react to any controls, which is irritating. I think that might be an exclusive also. If you fancy trying to get it to work, please do.
