      ensureSystemretroconfig "nes"
      ensureSystemretroconfig "gameboy"
      ensureSystemretroconfig "coleco"
      ensureSystemretroconfig "arcadia"
      ensureSystemretroconfig "crvision"
      

      "coleco" should be "colecovision" shouldn't it? There is a theme for it in carbon and others. "gameboy" should be "gb" and/or "gbc" - it does get NES correct and I have no idea about the other two obscure ones

          yeah thats my point @herb_fargus - coleco appears to be an improper name/code and it should be using colecovision instead, shouldn't it?

            @ProxyCell perhaps they called it coleco for brevity's sake.

            Anyways it's unlikely that name will be changed as its been in the core of mess for a very long time and would break things.

            I named it coleco in the systems here to maintain parity with mess as advmess also uses that system name. You can still theme it by colecovision in ES even if the system is called coleco in the backend.
