      Thanks for answering, if I forgot to put the version, I don't know what version it is, according to the binary information, it was compiled 2022-07-21.
      I had read this information https://docs.libretro.com/library/bluemsx/ and I was surprised because In others like baxxxx and recxxxxx the lr-bluemsx cheats work in retroarch.
      I will try what you tell me, to see if I understand it correctly, thanks.

        Cheats should be available for Libretro - https://github.com/libretro/libretro-database/tree/master/cht/Microsoft - MSX - MSX2 - MSX2P - MSX Turbo R. Did you follow the steps in the docs to download them first ?

            Specifically, which step doesn't work ? You'll have to add more details to your posts.

              Download the chat from the page and copy it where the guide indicates, in this case /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/cheats/bluemsx/goonies.cht,

              I launched the game, I went with the hotkey to show the retroarch, quick menu, cheats, add cheat in this case in the bluemsx folder, activate the cheats that interested me, apply, and click on the option to close the retroarch to to continue, I requested the a button to start and I saw that the cheats were not activated

              it's like i ignored them

                It's the Apply after toggle option turned on in the Cheats menu ?

                  if you press it before closing the retroarch to continue, the previous step was to select the cheats that appear after selecting goonies.cht

                  Although in this image the 2 options above apply deactivated, I activate them and then apply changes

                    Try using a different core then (fmsx), maybe indeed, BlueMSX doesn't support cheats.
                    You were using the same core on Recalbox/Batocera ?

                        fmsx may need the BIOS files placed in certain folder. If you were using the same cheats/core before, I don't know why it's not working. I advise you to update your system and get the latest version of the core and RetroArch.

                          thanks for helping me i will try

                          Edit: put the bios on, the game loads but the cheats still don't work, I've read that retroarch and fmsx cheats are not compatible

                            If correct and up to date it seems that lr-fmsx doesn't support cheats either :
                            https://docs.libretro.com/library/fmsx/ :
                            RetroArch Cheats ✕
                            Native Cheats ✕

                            lr-fbneo seems to support cheats but it can only emulate msx1 :
                            https://docs.libretro.com/library/fbneo/ :
                            RetroArch Cheats ✔
                            Native Cheats ✔

                            Very strange that there are cheats available but that the core don't seem to support them.

                            I will try some stuff when I can.

                              The strange thing is that it doesn't work in retropie and if in batocera/recalbox, but just try bluemsx, I'll try lr-fbneo

                                You mean it works with lr-bluemsx in batocera and recallbox ?

                                    Both Batocera/Recalbox and RetroPie use the same BlueMSX core from the upstream libretro project - there's no difference here.
                                    I'm a bit puzzled, since the core doesn't seem to support Cheats at all - the cheat related functions are just stubs and they are not implemented in BlueMSX. I also tested on another platform (Windows) and the cheats behave similarly as on RetroPie.

                                      Hello, I understand, but how can you compare the first photos that belonged to Retropie and the last ones from Batocera? Differences can be seen.

                                      These photos are the beginning of the game

                                        Leaving aside the menu driver difference (XMB vs. Ozone), the only difference I see is the version of BlueMSX - RetroPie has a newer version (Jul 2022) than the other systems (Feb 2022), which doesn't account for much, since there's only 1 commit between the 2 dates.

                                          If you mean ozone , I changed it to that one, Regarding the bluemsx version, I don't know what can influence it, Sorry I'm new to raspberry

                                          edit: whether it works or not , nothing happens , it was just an appreciation , I still prefer retropie

                                          As soon as I have a clear idea, I will try lr-fbneo that I have read in the forum apart from the partner that was mentioned

                                            It took me a while to be able to try and work fbneo for msx because I've been very busy, it already works for me but no matter how much I've searched I haven't found a solution there are no fbneo cheats for msx1 only for arcade
