Has anybody been able to get these systems working in mGalaxy

via Retroarch
Commodore Pet
Commodore Plus-4
They work from my desktop, but when I add them to mGalaxy they do not come up.
I added the proper core to the emulator file, that I use to bring them up in retroarch, but when I go to play them through mGalaxy it just crashes
back to  desktop.

Also and this is generic. But maybe someone can help.
I am trying to play Appleiigs, and coleco Adam through Mame via MGalaxy, but it is not finding the files. I can not even get Mame to recognize these systems,
even though the Roms are in the Mame Rom files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No....Pretty much those games are represented on other systems, so I didn't
want to use up the space.
Oh there are two others I failed to list
Dragon Color Computer and Tandy Coco
both work perfectly , don't know how I missed them.

In the attached .zip file you will find all the necessary elements for the update to the mentioned systems.
(These new systems will be part of the next version of mGalaxy)
Please note that the 'Systems.xml' and 'Emulators.xml' files will replace edits that you could have already made on the 'original' files.
If you want to preserve them, then you have to open them and edit them instead of replacing them.

May you please try this data for the "Texas Instruments TI-99" ?
(Extract this archive in the - maybe a copy of ;) - mGalaxy folder and accept overwriting files)

MGALAXY could you help with one thing on the Coleco Adam
If I use GearColeco, it takes me to the emulator, but I manually have to bring up the game via the Menus.
I also tried to use Retroarch for the Adam, but it keeps dumping me saying No Bios.  I am using the Colecovision Bios but it says I am using the wrong one.
Thanks...
Good luck on the upgrade by the way. Waiting to see what surprises are in store for us.

This is the bios I used for my test and it's working fine by my side.
(I suppose that you know that this file has to be put in the 'system' folder of RetroArch)
