      Long story short the xroar /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg entry should include also .bin .BIN extensions by default.

      I'm a Dragon/CoCo enthusiast and noticed something off about my xroar configuration.

      xroar allow loading .bin files directly which is pretty awesome, since it skips the need for a keyboard for a great many of the games that do not come in .rom or .ccc form. Extending the RetroPi instantly launch-able library by probably 10000%.

      So, I edited my /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg xroar section to include .bin and .BIN and viola! I could launch games in that format from RetroPi as well.

        @mindlord Thank you for the suggestion - .bin has been added to the list of extension for the 2 systems supported by xroar (coco and dragon32).
