Well, I´m sorry but if I try to start the ColecoDS within melonDS I only get a 'shutdown' messsage in the upper left corner of my monitor.

eos.rom and coleco.rom are installed into the directory where ColecoDS is placed.

Did I do something wrong?

Interesting - running a DS emulator to run an MSX emulator!

I've never done it - no idea if it's possible. I only test and run on real hardware with something like Unlaunch or TWL++.

As an aside, I did release version 8.8 this week with ADAM emulation improvements. The 8.8c daily build cleans up all the graphical glitches and most games now load up perfectly every time. There are still a few holdouts I'm debugging - these seem especially sensitive to emulation timing accuracy.

All Bios for ColecoDS should be in the /data/Bios folder at the root. ColecoDS.nds file can be put in any folder.

I do not know melonDS.

I will give it a try, later at home. Thx.
