      @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.

          @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 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 ?

                        Also where do we need to place BIOS files now? In BIOS, roms or the system's directory?

                        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.

                                  @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

                                      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.

                                          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.
