      I have a brand new Retropie 4.2 build on my Pi3. I have my SG-1000 ROMs in the correct folder and they show up in on my system, but when I select any of the games, all I get is a black screen. If I hit select/start, I can go back the the game list, but none of the SG-1000 are working. Is there a BIOS or something that I need to add?

        @dsfrancis No BIOS required. It uses lr-genesis-gx-plus. The ROMs need to be .zip or .sg

          I think all of my ROMs are .bin files - I'll try zipping them to see if that helps.

            @dsfrancis that probably wont work. Rename a file from .bin to .sg . Then restart emulationstation and test. Will probably work that way.
