      RetroPie v3.7

      Has anyone had any success using coco for Tandy Color Computer? I have DKRemix.dsk for Tandy Color Computer. I've added the bas13.rom bios to the BIOS folder. When I launch the game from Emulation Station, I get a green screen with command prompt. It looks like it piped the command "DOS," and the command processor responded with "?SN ERROR" (syntax error).

      I've tried different versions of the bios with no luck. I've tried the coco and cocous emulators. I've even tried emulating in Dragon32 with d32.rom bios; same results.

      Has anyone ventured into this? Any pointers? Thanks.

      UPDATE: This is not really an update, but just more information. I ran across this piece of text regarding the DSK I'm attempting to use. I don't know how to determine if the RPi Coco is compatible, but I'm betting this is the problem. I'll try it with other coco games to see if they work. It might just be a compatibility issue with the DSK I chose to start with.

      "Requires 512K CoCo 3 and joystick."

          The coco emulator is a coco 1/2 emulator, and doesn't support the coco 3 functions.
          The image you are using requires a 512k coco3.
