      @folly Yes, this is what is contained in that .cfg file in that folder:

      #Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

      input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/coleco/"

      quit_press_twice = "false"

      core_options_path = "/opt/retropie/configs/coleco/retroarch-core-options.cfg"
      #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

        Indeed, very strange.

        Don't have a solution right now.

          @folly Just for fun I removed that "press_quit_twice" thing and I'm still getting this in my runcommand log:
          [INFO] [Core Options]: Saved core options file to "/home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/blueMSX/blueMSX.opt"

          I can't figure it out either. I don't think I've ever run into an issue like this before.

            @folly Thanks for at least looking into it. I think at this point I'm just going to make a separate game options file for every single ColecoVision ROM. That's the only fix I can think of at the moment that will at least get this working.

              Yes, that is the only option for now.

              Perhaps someone else has an idea how to fix this.

                @tpr Do you have a file in this folder?

                [INFO] [Remaps]: core-specific remap found at /opt/retropie/configs/coleco/blueMSX/blueMSX.rmp.

                saw that in your verbose log.

                If so, delete it and see if that fixes it.

                    @dmmarti Damn... I do. Let me rename that now and see if it helps.

                      Indeed my log doesn't refer to a remap file.

                        @dmmarti Nope. Didn't fix it. It also removed the ColecoVision specific remap for controls I had made. So I don't think that's the culprit.

                          Here's what's also interesting. Some of my ColecoVision ROMs boot with FBNeo and even when I look at the runcommand log for those it's also pulling the config from the FBNeo config folder and not the coleco folder:

                          [INFO] [Core Options]: Saved core options file to "/home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/FinalBurn Neo/FinalBurn Neo.opt"

                            Do you perhaps have wrong settings in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg ?

                            Above is just a guess, seems we are on a dead end.

                                  The config looks good.

                                  Perhaps it's an idea to update RetroArch.

                                    @folly Ha! Updating RA is actually where all these problems started! :P I just updated last night.

                                      Ok, then it could be an issue in the RetroPie-Setup.

                                      To be continued......

                                        @tpr I can't test this at the moment but what if you
                                        rename the config folders to msxBAK & colecoBAK (easy to restore if this doesn't help)
                                        uninstall bluemsx / reboot / reinstall
                                        just to regenerate fresh config files?
                                        at least this would eliminate those folders from trouble shooting??

                                            @tpr having thought about it
                                            now might be a good time to start making sd card backups
                                            I use Win32 Disk Imager - It's saved me from disaster a few times
