Same here…the one bummer so far is lack of proper 5200 and Colecovision support. Maybe soon. It would be sweet to see retroarch cores for both. Herb mention this might be possible through a shell script but I’m ignorant.

I guess the issue is how the games are launched You seem to need a keyboard. Whatever emulator ES points to would be a nonissue as long as the A5200 had it’s own menu and could be launched and exited from a gamepad

So then, technically, there really isn’t support for the 5200 platform

[quote=104287]mess is a configuration nightmare. outside of the colecovision (which hopefully in the future will be supported with lr-bluemsx) which systems would it offer that retropie doesn’t already have?

Wouldn’t MESS allow 5200 roms to be handled in a cleaner way than Atari 800?

I have yet to configure any emu for the 5200 set so I’m just referencing the wiki’s instructions for running 5200 roms via Atari 800. It seems that you cannot use the 5200 theme in ES to load the roms directly? They have to be launched from the 800 menu? Doesn’t the 800 lack joystick/gamepad support as well?

What version of CoolCV are you using? because in that forum a few posters have mentioned in the 0.6.2v they cannot map the controllers and that the (# + *) combination doesn’t exit anymore. I’m desperate for a Colecovision solution on Rpi and I’ve never compiled a source in the linux environment before.

How did you get Colecovision roms to run if you don’t mind me asking?

[hobbswon]

How do these have to be stored inside the lr-pcsx folder? Just rename the EBOOT file to the gake title and place it in the rom folder? Can you still scrape to the core with the eboot files? Or will this be something that has to be done manually?
