      Hello everyone :)

      I installed the SDLTRS emulator with the experimental modules placed a game in .dsk format in the folder rom & placed the files level1.rom & level2.rom & level3.rom in the folder BIOS of RetroPie (Linux Mint)

      When I run a game I have a black screen nothing happens ... someone to help me ?!

      Thanks :)

        @Sebiohazard Can you post the contents of the log file - /dev/shm/runcommand.log - , taken after the failing game ?
        What's the game you're trying to run ?

            I can't reproduce the error. Once I copied the ROM file into the BIOS folder, the game opened up:

            4ba86574-d9c6-4d35-ab58-d902bfad7c49-image.png

            Granted, I'm on a RPI, so not on x86, but I think the emulator is the same. Are you sure you have the right BIOS and ROM file(s) ?

                    The code for green is 0x008010 (try with or without the leading 0x).
