@folly No it's not picking up on the .bin files at all. I've had that glitch before, editing es_systems.cfg sometimes doesn't register. I don't know why. It's nothing to do with your scripts I don't think. I think I'll remove the entry entirely and reinstall the core.

Good idea !
I should workmess 0.151 bios
-
@folly Yep, got the right BIOS, looks like it didn't like my .chd then. Maybe because the BIOS is Mess 0.151 and the .CHD 0.149.

ok
But I don't have the .chd extension in the script of pc6001
Or did you added this ? -
@folly Sorry, I got confused ; that was for Pippin ^^
I'm fixing PC6001 now. -

I'm fixing PC6001 now.ok I understand !
So many systems now HiHi
-
@folly I recommend you try the Sharp MZ700 and MZ2500 and the Fujitsu FM77AV!
Also where do we need to place BIOS files now? In BIOS, roms or the system's directory?

Will try that later.
I am really curious. -
@folly So am I. I'd bet there's over a hundred systems I'm keen to try out.

You had these system already ?

Just the bios dir. should work.
It's all lr-mess. -
@folly I experimented with those three systems previously, yes. I talked about them several times before.
The MZ700 is interesting, I don't know if I'd say it's fun though ^^I think I figured out the problem with my es_systems.cfg : the one I've got in opt and the one I've got in etc/emulationstation have different entries, but it seems the scripts write to the one in etc rather than the one in opt.

I remember, had no time then. will look at it.

I don't have one in opt.

@folly opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/
Sorry ^^

Sorry ^^
only es_input.cfg
-
@folly I think it's a backup I created, but it supercedes the one in etc... Problem is when one system has different entries in both files I think it creates weird conflicts.
Anyway, PC6001 is showing up now! :D -

@folly Mountain Climber, PC6001 :D
Seems most games for that system are on .cas files though, but I guess we've added enough games for one day (or one year ^^)

I also want to try ZX81 (last year I scored an original one for 15 euro's)
The one in retropie doesn't work that good. -
@folly The one in RetroPie doesn't work at all! ^^
Let me know how you get on.I'm looking at the ZX80, the Amstrad PCW, the Acorn Atom, Archimedes and Electron, the BBC Micro, the Fujitsu FM8, and about a million others ^^

ZX81 boots and keyboard works kinda.
(in real there are also commands, like print under the key p)
Have to work longer with it.
But seems to work better that lr-zx81.
