      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.

                              It might be useful to check it.
