…ocation The Missing-BIOS check listed 'bios/colecovision.rom', but no emulator packaged in Batocera reads from that path. Users who set up the BIOS correctly per the wiki (where BlueMSX, the default core, expects 'bios/Machines/COL - ColecoVision/coleco.rom') were still being told the BIOS is missing. Point the check at the BlueMSX path, since BlueMSX is the default core for ColecoVision. Same MD5, same 8 KB boot ROM; just at the path that actually corresponds to a working setup. Other emulators continue to read from their own paths (CLK: bios/ColecoVision/coleco.rom, OpenMSX: system/configs/openmsx/share/systemroms/coleco.rom) and are independent of this check.

the right path for openmsx is /userdata/bios/openmsx/coleco.rom |

Summary
The Missing-BIOS check (Main Menu → System Settings → Missing BIOS) reports the ColecoVision BIOS as missing even when the user has set it up correctly per the wiki.
Root cause
batocera-systemslists the required file asbios/colecovision.rom, but no emulator packaged in Batocera reads from that path:bios/Machines/COL - ColecoVision/coleco.rombios/openmsx/coleco.rom(filepool registered byopenmsxGenerator.py;bios/Machinesalso works)bios/ColecoVision/coleco.rom(per CLK's own ROMCatalogue)The "canonical" path
bios/colecovision.romis only referenced inbatocera-systems; nothing else in the repo reads from it. Users who place the file at the BlueMSX path the wiki documents have a working setup but the check still complains.Change
