Amstrad GX4000 in retroarch

[vahacris]

Hi guys, im trying to run amstrad gx4000 games using cap32 libretro core and cant solve this puzzle. first of all - i know i can run it thru mame core in retroarch or in mame, but im looking for cap32 solution as this core is on every device i use for emulation (android phone, android tv, ps vita, etc) and mame core (for sotware) or mame app is not there. so i tinker on the platforms on my pc and then configure it on other systems.

So i search the web and find out that i need to use .cpr format and change the core option to 6128+ but:

1. in newest cap32 core there is only "6128+ experimental" and when i choose this setting game do not run - the screen shows standard basic screen like for amstrad cpc

2. in older cap32 core I can set system to 6128+, basic v4 starts, but there is only a menu with f1 - basic and f2 - burning rubber to choose. i i do not select anything burning rubber game stars.

Burning Rubber is playable so the core works with amstrad gx4000 but how to play other games. i even see a video tutorial (for android) where after chenge to 6128+ game stars without asic screen. i try with the same retroarch and core version but still failed. 

anyone find the sultion for this?

Solution for future generations:

1. use cpr file not .bin file (I use TOSEC set)

2. set in core  options:

     a. model - 6128+ (experimental)

     b. autorun - ON

     c. advanced > color depth - 24bit

3. most important -> U need to zip the cpr file and use zipped rom

4. that's all folks, now ypu can play amstrad gx4000 roms in retroarch using cap32 core
