Colecovision Start-Up Error: Turn Game Off Before Inserting Cartridge or Expansion Module.

@folly said in Colecovision Start-Up Error: Turn Game Off Before Inserting Cartridge or Expansion Module.:

#This file can be removed, it seems to be a temporary file created by zip
rm "fbneo_zips/.zip"

This is most likely a broken filename or stray newline that generates this, zip doesn't create any temporary .zip files.

@mitu

Thanks for the information ;-)

I made a small mistake.
I used a condition instead of an if function.
So the zip line used the empty strings and the not wanted strings also, therefor creating the not wanted .zip file.
I have updated the script, the problem should be solved now.

Hi folly , I didn't found an equivalent for fbneo (for those games)

Do you know if they exist?

[Folly]

@dteam

They exist.
They are in the retropie-archive of cva...... .

• Stone of Wisdom exists (romset is named stonew)
• We got the Destructor romset from 1984 (romset is named destruct)
• I don't see the 4 others, so i guess we don't emulate them ?

I'll add the 4 missing games and the 2010 variant of Destructor later today.

@Folly Except for one problem. I can't find BIOS_XP.ROM or mecha-8-2013.rom. What can I do?

@stoogesfan87

Check this post / thread :
The great Super Game Module mystery / post 13

Mecha-8 is a homebrew game and can be found on cvaddict.

I know it's been a while, but I was able to fix the issue with bluemsx by changing the option "Cart Mapper Type (Restart)" to "Auto" and saving an override for the directory only.
I prefer bluemsx over the others emulators due to it been the one supporting Retroachievements.

Hope that helps!

@rimoco

For lr-bluemsx the option "Cart Mapper Type (Restart)" to "Auto" is on by default at least on my image.
I tried mecha-8 but it doesn't work like you said.

Which game did you use, was it mecha-8 ?
What did you save exactly ?

Can you give some more information ?

@Folly

I tried several games from the original Colecovision romset, such as: Antartic Adventure, Boulder Dash, Burger Time, Keystone Keepers and so on, all working fine.

This topic is mostly about coleco adam & sgm games

[DTEAM]

Coleco Homebrews now supported by MAME 0.265

[Folly]

My script, from version 0265.01, will add the sgm module when installing coleco or colecop from the script.
Seems the sgm module doesn't affect normal games when the sgm module is inserted.
That way all supported non-sgm and sgm games can be played with the same runcommand.
