      Perhaps I'll do that.

      I'll have a play with compiling colem from source on ubuntu and see how that goes.
      Might even write a module if I have time.

      I should also give coolcv a try, just to see what the problem is.

        @Neo-Rio I vaguely remember us not pursing colem or maybe adamem because of licencing:

        http://fms.komkon.org/ColEm/

        Not that you can't install it on your pi or make an install module but I don't know if we'd be able to include it with retropie, would have to ask the author. Also don't know if it requires x. We host a coolcv binary for the pi but I don't think we do for x86 which may be why it's disabled but I'm sure there is a PC build on the Atariage forum

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

          @mediamogul .ROM and .COL. Is this ok? They work on other emulators fine.

              @alortegac are you saying you installed advmess? If so i have to walk you through getting it to work as it does not work by default.

                    @alortegac my coleco.rom is in /opt/retropie/configs/rom/coleco/ . I dont have one in bios. Try putting it there and give it 0777 permissions. I think it is an advmess/mame location but thats where i have it. I am doing a search to try to find any other locations i have it in.

                      @edmaul69 I tried to install coolcv on the retropie setup but I keep on getting these errors

                      Error running 'tar -xv -z -C
                      /opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv --stripped components 1' -returned 2

                      Unable to install binary for coolcv.

                      What should I do?
