      @mitu Gotcha. Well, I'm glad it was able to resolve itself either way. I'll keep my discussion to this issue on Folly and DTEAM's thread. I appreciate the help and insight, Mitu. Thank you!

      @JimmyFromTheBay

      I read that most of these games are ported from MSX.
      The story goes that in order to make porting easier the SGM module has a Yamaha music chip that is the same as used in MSX.

      So why not run the original game on MSX ?

      @JimmyFromTheBay

      On old mame pages I found that the tapes with BASIC would be supported, yet they don't load in 265 or 266.
      BASICs are respectively mz1z001 and mz1z002.
      Could also be that some tape games need these BASICs to work.
      You are able to find manuals but they are all in Japanese but it gives an impression.
      There seem to be better emulators and and also some info can be found on websites containing sharpmz in the address.
      Though it's quite difficult to know what all commands do inside tf-dos and in BASIC should that work.
      However BASIC seems to be from Microsoft so I think it has a lot of similarities.

      Found that you can type HELP in tf-dos to find the commands.
      You can use DIR to list the files.

      @JimmyFromTheBay

      The ZX spectrum emulator zesarux should be able to run zx80 and there is an original module-script inside RetroPie-Setup for installing it.
      However zx80 and zx81 are not implemented in the module-script.
      Perhaps you can add it manually.
      Not sure how good it will work though.
      Perhaps I will test if I have time.

      If I can run them both at the same time that'd be great, but if not then it's not worth the hassle and risk.

      Technically it's possible but I think, for you, it's indeed not worth the hassle and the risk.

      @JimmyFromTheBay

      I've installed the MESS fork for it (lr-mess-mz1500-cass).

      What is the MESS fork ?
      Please give a better explanation on how you installed.

      With this command you can find the supported extensions :

      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listmedia mz1500 SYSTEM MEDIA NAME (brief) IMAGE FILE EXTENSIONS SUPPORTED ---------------- --------------------------- ------------------------------- mz1500 cassette (cass) .wav .m12 .mzf .mzt

      These are the loading instructions for MZ-1500 :
      Hit C key
      TAB > Tape control > Play

      I used cassette files inside mz800_cass.zip from mame-sl.
      mucmac.zip worked for me.

      Yea, nice summary, looks like we did not get far. haha ;-)

      I think we have to keep on digging.

      I found an quasi88 for sdl2 and have succeeded to compile it on debian 11 on x86_64.
      Will try that on the RPI4 too, and hope I will get it fullscreen.

      @Folly

      I did not find a second version in ~/RetroPie-Setup/ext/RetroPie-Share/scriptmodules/supplementary, but I deleted any other versions of the file on my system - in the trash folder, download folder, etc...and that did the trick.

      I will try the ParaDOS options again later and report back.

      The ParaDOS options are visible and they do load ParaDOS.

      I think you missed my edit disclaimer.

      Yes, I did ;-)

      Concur, no need for PRADOS on lr-mess or MAME. Same issues trying to run with lr-caprice32 in cpc1628+ experiential model selected you experienced.

      Ok, so we are on the same level now.

      A while ago I added the stickfreaks binary install option in my script.
      Still in the the secret menu/test menu though.

      If you want to try, let me know, I will send you some more info.

      @jimmyfromthebay

      Due to this thread I found that there was a mistake in my script and I fixed it.
      So now it can create lr-mess overlays for gnw from the mame artwork.
      2022-03-02-183543_800x600_scrot_resized.png
      I think it's not what you are looking for, though.
      It is still an overlay and transparency is always used and not perfect.

      I have tried the combination lr-mess with mame artwork but never had any result,
      because then the game just won't load.

      Perhaps you both can find a way.
      It would really be nice if it could work like you want to.

      I tested some games from "samcoupe_flop" in mame.
      They work very good on the pi4.
      Just typing boot and they will run.
      (edit : I added the possibility to install autoboot in systems with extras -> full / semi automatic boot)

      Only one thing, the used cursor keys for playing games are :

      for many games a,s,o,p,space. for some games q,w,space. other games use the normal cursor keys.

      So it's advisable to use the game specific runcommand loaders for mame or lr-mess.
      That way you can customize the keys used per game.

      Here are some pictures of manic and ppersia :
