I agree with Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego, and the Munchers games. I loved those games. There is one game I'd really love to find and play on the mini, but first some back story.
My parents had an old Apple IIgs, which wasn't that old when we had it, and they had bought a Lord of the Rings game for it. I believe it said Middle Earth, but could be wrong. I was playing on the computer and dragged what I thought was just the icon to the trash and emptied it. When I tried to load the game, it wasn't there anymore because it had deleted the disks instead of just the icon. I LOVE how easy Apple made it to completely erase disks that contained a program you bought and paid for. Anyways, it has never set well with me that I ruined a game that we only played a few times and my stepmom never got to play but was really excited about.
If someone could let me know if they remember the game and if it's possible to play on the mini, I'd greatly appreciate it. I can't imagine there were a lot of LotR games back then, especially for the IIgs
As far as I know there are a couple of viable options:
- Wii Classic Controller
- 8bitdo N64 pad (with 8bitdo retro receiver)
- 8bitdo NES30 Pro pad (with 8bitdo retro receiver)
- Hori fight pad(?)
Blue MSX is looking for MSX, as its core machine. The only way it can possibly run would be if you...
retroarch-core-options.cfg as follows:
bluemsx_msxtype = "COL - ColecoVision"
The bios would have to be accounted for, as well...It would, on the PC version, be placed in the Machines/COL - ColecoVision folder.
Here is the problem, however. Colecovision WORKS. But, the numeric pad is not programmed properly into the code!
I am running more tests with my setup. I will post, accordingly.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
I am running more tests with Colecovision. Let me know some games that have crashed for you. So, I can test those.
I do have it running. I am referring to how Mega was attempting to do it with Blue MSX. I am using another method, with the gba conversion, except...things are running fine for me. I have been able to fix the screen size, and games have not crashed for me, at all. I will probably post a video of it tomorrow. I also got Narc running, a game a few others couldn't get running on MAME. I love Colecovision as much as you guys! It was literally one of my first priorities since I got the Mini NES going with Retroarch. The GBA conversion has been really good for me. If you guys laid out exactly which games were crashing for you, and what general issues you are contending with...I can do my best to test those perimeters out. As of right now, I have loaded a ton of games, and have not had one single issue. They have all been playing great for me. And, I am playing full screen.
I was merely trying to lay to rest, the blue msx component. So, keep me informed on the Colecovision issues, and games that crashed, so I can test them! My conversions have been quite successful, thus far.
The above text is straight from Github, and the patch is not apliable on the libretro core.
I also thought you had all the Colecovision games running...as GBA i think ?
If i run any Coleco game with the GBA emulator, all the text is messed up, the sound sounds like it is 4 bit distorted.
Donkey Kong crashing in the 2nd level, Mario is also walking through the ground instead of ON it.
Smurf is actually playable but it sounds bad, and many items in the screen are flickering.
A message from the creator of CoolCV
"Hi.
I don't have enough time to port CoolCV to libretro and from what I've seen in Internet it's not so easy.
Last and not least I don't have a NES Mini.
Regard,
Óscar"
Then a person on github about bluemsx:
"You should be able to copy Lakka's core that was meant for an rpi2 or similar device, or you can compile it yourself with an armhf toolchain (Ubuntu16 has one readily available)."
Then PCM720 also told me that it cannot be done the easy way, so we are running out of options :-(

I already figured you had searched for any options you could. Anyways, I will test Donkey Kong out, and such. As far as the flickering issues, and screen garbled text. I have already changed settings to fix that. Let me test some more, then I can give you the proper settings to use! And, yes, I am playing the GBA conversions. Let me tinker with things a little more, and test Donkey Kong, to see if my settings prevent it from crashing!
Ill try to get lunar lander to work. Most games with diagnostics, etc, I have been able to find ways to bypass. Ill do the same on this and battlezone for you
Cool. I need Lunar Lander and Battlezone to work. Like I've said, when I try to play them, the little black and white mame menu pops up. On the computer, I can get rid of it with the escape key. But I can't figure out how to do that on a controller.Ill try to get lunar lander to work. Most games with diagnostics, etc, I have been able to find ways to bypass.

You have to enable blood in either core. Fba or mame2003. Fba neo you can't have blood.
Tested and confirmed. Thanks for the response. I guess I'll go with no blood.
If you go into dip switches on mame 2003 you turn the blood option on.
Narc on mame2000 also runs amazing... You just need to restart the rom a second time via the retroarch menu once it's booted up and got past the initial rom checks.
I'm still at NES. I checked lots of sites and still i could not find MMC3 ips for
Akumajou Special - Boku Dracula-kun
Gimmick!

Star Wars (J) (Namco)

@Xdqwerty, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is the Japanese version of the game, different settings/characters/songs but otherwise identical mechanics. I played that before I knew about Elite Beat Agents lol. Both fantastic games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan+1 -
