Colecovision custom command line

[Joe35car]

OK I'm trying to get to get games that use super game module in coleco to work. When I launch a game say asteroids in coleco using MAME I have to hit tab and go in the slot and change exp to sgm and reset system. Is there a command line so it boots straight to these type of games?

Try

coleco -exp sgm -cart

Would this be for the custom cmd line in Lb?

thanks but I just created a mame ini. Named the ini coleco and inside put: exp sgm

Just drop the file in the MAME ini folder

 

coleco.ini

Does that work?  Never seen it done that way.  Cool if it does!

I use the default parameters
coleco -exp sgm -cart
As well as working with the carts that require SGM, these parameters also work for me with the "normal" coleco carts without any issues seen.

Nice. Also the ini also works for all carts and smg games.

Using MAME ini files named for the software list systems is the way to go, IMO. Been doing it that way for years. Seems to be more frontend agnostic that way too.

Same here. I just was having a hard time with the coleco at first. Also you have to use a a800 ini file if you want Jumpman to work. Needs more memory.
