@shadowron If the OOM kicked in and the system crashed, then I'd say it's normal the log is corrupted.

Another way to run CD-i (cdimono1) with MAME standalone (like MESS without Lr)

go in /opt/retropie/configs/cdimono1
open your emulators.cfg

add:

mame-CD-i= "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -c -autoframeskip cdimono1 -cdrm %ROM%"

To set your "Input (general)" and "Input(this Machine), follow step 10 and 11 of this Tutorial.
Tutorial: Handheld and Plug & Play systems with MAME

You can use .chd without specific MAME naming and without dummy file.

@NowArrivingHere ok some of them need them are something like %BASENAME%.bin some need it to be %ROM% here is a list of how the mess names used are. I cant guarantee all systems work in advmess as i couldnt get the apple ii working.

@NowArrivingHere bad sdcard perhaps. Make sure you are not over clocked etc too.

Advmame includes advmess also and has binaries

@ProxyCell perhaps they called it coleco for brevity's sake.

Anyways it's unlikely that name will be changed as its been in the core of mess for a very long time and would break things.

I named it coleco in the systems here to maintain parity with mess as advmess also uses that system name. You can still theme it by colecovision in ES even if the system is called coleco in the backend.
