Did anyone get Colecovision games working in MSX.EMU?

On the developers site I downloaded the "MSX.EMU" file that conatins the folder structure with the Colecovision BIOS file and I placed it in the root of my USB hard drive as the instructions say to do however Colecovision is still not an option for machine type in the menu.

I believe it is because the MSX.EMU emulator is only looking at the internal memory in the Ouya, the internal memory is where the MSX bios files are located. How do I get the Coleco BIOS files from the hard drive to the internal memory folder? I also don't see an option in the emulator that would let me set the hard drive as the location for the BIOS files.

Thanks,
Steve

What the heck are those games shown in the screenshot?

I could easily make a list of 100 good to awesome MSX games without breaking a sweat. I probably could reach 200 games easily too.

I spent most of my childhood in front of one of those machines. It made a lot of what I am today. It was in an MSX that I learned how to read, learned to love playing videogames, and learned how to code. Today I am a programmer and a computer programming teacher. That's all thanx to me having an MSX at my home before I was 3 years old.

And, funnily enough, this emulator is probably the ouya software I most used so far, playing a lot of King's Valley 2 lately :)

I fixed it, I sideloaded a file manager and moved the bios files to internal memory.

by anychance anyone tried playing english versions of metal gear 1 & 2 on MSX?

Ok I just can't get the Coleco games to run. I've placed the "COL - Colecovision" folder with coleco.rom and config.ini files alongside the MSX folders in the "machine" folder within the sdcard directory. I've changed the machine type to "colecovision". But when I load up any ROM, all I get is the standard multicolored COLECOVISION splash screen but with a message underneath it "TURN GAME OFF BEFORE INSERTING CARTRIDGE OR EXPANSION MODULE".
