      Hello everyone. I have a Raspberry Pi 4B. I added a few roms into my coleco folder. One that I was particularly interested in trying was Traffic Jam. There is one problem, however. I get a message from the BlueMSX emulator stating that "this game requires the Colecovision Super Game Module." I went into the BIOS folder to make sure that the COLECO.rom was placed inside /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/openmsx/machines/ColecoVision_SGM folder. I'm not sure what should be done to get this to work properly, but if anyone has an idea of what configurations, additions, or changes need to be made, please let me know. Thank you for your input.

        As far as I can remember SGM games do not work in lr-bluemsx.

        I would recommend to read these topics :

          @Striderx99 I believe FBNeo is still the coleco emulator with the widest compatibility available on pi. It requires an arcade-like approach for romsets though.

            @Striderx99 FBNeo is the emulator you want for SGM games, but it needs an FBNeo-specific ROMset. Pretty easy to find by Googling.

            Raspberry Pi 3b and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, both running Retropie 4.7.1 installed from scratch using Raspberry Pi Imager, with wired keyboard, wireless mouse and double arcade joystick attached.
