      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.

                      For those who don't know, we did a lot of work in this thread :

                      It might be useful to check it.
