    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.

                    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

                              @lister-of-smeg Same results. It's fine. I've now resorted to just making a game config file for every ColecoVision game. A lot of them use FBNeo anyway since BlueMSX doesn't support the homebrew "Super Game Module" games and FBNeo does. If it ends up being a bigger issue I might just switch over to FBNeo for all those games.

                              Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'm throwing in the towel on this one! :D

                                Indeed FBneo is a good choice.
