      @Folly Maybe we should have an 'Old Japanese Computer Games Appreciation Thread' ^^

      That makes sense about bluemsx, so you think what hasn't been integrated are the rooms themselves? That would make sense considering the legality of it.

        Good Idea to make a new topic !

        Will try these roms if it will help.

          My R+R worked OOB.
          It's an XDF file.

          Don't know wat that is.

            @Folly Oh. I converted it because the documentation clearly stated lr-px68k only read .dim and .m3u well.
            Good to know it works.
            I'll write up a thread tonight!

              I run my files directly from the Desktop with my own script. So I am not bounded by extensions. If you run it from emulationstation .xdf is not there in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg . So you have to add that.

              <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/x68000</path>
              <extension>.dim .hdf .hdm .2hd .d88 .m3u .DIM .HDF .HDM .2HD .D88 .M3U</extension>

                @Folly Adding it will make it appear in ES sure, but how could I check to see that the emulator is capable of using those files?

                  Well it should run then, i think. :-)

                  My file contains also a .hdf .hdm. Tried the .hdf, but it seems like it will also load a floppy. not sure how this works.

                      X68000 definitely works in ES with XDF, I thought it might it not but it was fine on mine.

                        How exactly did you attempt to use the roms?
                        I assume lr-bluemsx would be looking for those roms in a very particular place.

                          Placed them in the BIOS directory together with the others.

                            @Folly I'm assuming that's where bluemsx on your PC looks for those roms?

                              The file I presumed it would be the one, is just an arabic msx type :

                              $ grep -r "SWP.rom"
                              MSX2 - Al Alamiah AX-350/config.ini:0 2 2 4 42 "Machines/MSX2 - Al Alamiah AX-350/AX350SWP.rom" ""
                              MSX2 - Al Alamiah AX-370/config.ini:0 2 2 4 20 "Machines/MSX2 - Al Alamiah AX-370/AX370SWP.rom" ""
                              MSX2 - Arabic/config.ini:0 2 2 4 42 "Machines/Shared Roms/SWP.rom" ""
                              

                              It was a nice try/idea. But I don't think it's the solution.

                                @Folly Should we maybe see about bringing the issue to the attention of the core developers?

                                  That would be a good idea.

                                    Sharp X1 is working.
                                    But compilation .2d disks hang in "disk menu", any ideas ?

                                      @Folly I'm not sure what you mean. Could you send a screenshot?

                                          @Folly I think I had that once because the lr core looked for the bios in the wrong place.
                                          If it's not then I honestly don't know!

                                            Others work fine. Perhaps they just don't work then.
