      I pulled some colceovision roms off a recalbox image I bought and put them on a raspberry pi 4 running the official retropie image 7.2 with an overclock. I have the bios in the correct place for lr-bluemsx to run them. But every time I try to run a game I'm sent back to emulationstation. The files are name correctly and the roms work fine on recalbox on a rpi3, but I'd rather have them on retropie. Another question; I noticed that "coolcv' is not available for rpi4 why is this?

      You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

        I found out that Lr-bluemsx is not working for Microsoft MSX either. I checked the Bios files and they appear to name correctly. I would like to try Lr-fbneo-cv , but there is no information in the DOCS about this version of fbneo, can anyone tell me how to run it? Also, can anyone confirm that Lr-bluemsx works on retropie for raspberry pi4? And is coolcv going to be available for the pi4 anytime soon?

          fbneo-cv expects the game file to be a .zip archive with a certain name, similar to how arcade ROMs work, and a BIOS file (coleco.zip) present in either the ROMs folder (coleco) or in the BIOS folder (BIOS/fbneo).
          See the Dat file for FBNeo for the correct ROM names and content.

          Also, can anyone confirm that Lr-bluemsx works on retropie for raspberry pi4?

          Yes, it works.

          And is coolcv going to be available for the pi4 anytime soon?

          CoolCV is not open source, so unless the author updates it to support the Pi4's new GPU drivers, there's little to do.

              I think the problem is similar to the other topic you've opened for Atari ST - your BIOS folder is not correctly set and BlueMSX cannot find the requited BIOS files.

                i agree

                lr-bluemsx works fine for me :)

                    @dreamcastkid The problem was solved by using the default retroarch config file
