Colecovision Super Game Module

Ok so I was wondering how do I get these games working in MAME? Some games need this and does MAME emulate them? Example: trying to get Asteroids homebrew working in MAME.
Thanks

Ok I can get the game working now if I start the game and hit tab and change the slot to sgm and reset. How do I get this to launch without doing this all the time? Create a ini? If so what would I put. What would be the command-line?
Thanks
EDIT:
mame coleco -cart smg asteroid
works
Now what would I put as a ini so the games launch? I tried making a coleco ini and inside putting -cart smg but that doesn't work.

So nobody here knows how to launch this game without going into the slot settings? Has to be a way to launch the game directly using a ini file.
Thanks

So, just because no-one responded yet to a post you made just recently, you immediately come to the conclusion that 'nobody knows your sacred ini settings' ! We neeed theesee settingss NOW !
Pay attention to meeeeee !
Try this: in your 'mame' folder, put a textfile (do note, not your 'MS-Word' word processor, but a notepad text file) with a name like 'coleco-asteroid.cmd', and put this single line in it:
Code:
mame coleco -cart smg asteroid
Then double-clicking on that from file explorer, should lead to the holy grail you are seeking for, but were utterly unable to wait for an answer to !
Thanks, and enjoy !

I wasn't in a hurry. I just noticed that 50 plus people viewed and was surprised nobody chimed in.

Please do note that - apart from the incorrect commandline you gave, but thankfully has been corrected by Haze - I actually did give you a solution by just creating *.cmd files in your mame folder.
You're welcome.

Thanks for the correction. I just copied the commandline joey35car supplied (and said that worked), without verifying things.

If you still want to try modifying your coleco.ini file, add this line to it:
exp sgm

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.  I thought I had that in the ini. Maybe I had it backwards. Thanks again. All of you. I didn't mean to come out demanding.

Also: You are absolutely correct that I - even though I did provide 'a' solution - still behaved like an ass, and there was no need for me to do that. Sorry.

No worries. I'm not thin skinned lol. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I'm just glad it boots directly in the games that use the sgm.

It doesn't work because odyssey2 doesn't have any slots.
Instead voice is a cartridge. I don't know which games have voice support,
but let's assume that "ufo" does, then you would have on the command line:
>mame odyssey2 voice -cart2 ufo

I'm also trying to figure this out. The command line works as above. Is there a way to create an ini file to launch game directly using the command? If so what would be the text in the ini?
Thanks
