      @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.

                                @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.

                                    .2d files was it? I'll see if I have any.

                                    Edit : Just loaded 177.2d
                                    It's running. Maybe one of your bios is wrong?

                                            Indeed it seems a long time ago.

                                            But a few moths ago the libretro cores were wiped from github.
                                            So they restored old backups.
                                            Everything is behind now.

                                            Last commit was from 2 april 2020. So it's still maintained.
